    Friendly, well-maintained community, mostly excellent

    I'm a resident and overall very happy - the community is beautiful, well-maintained, and homey with nice, spacious rooms, a park-like outdoor area, and a lovely airy dining room. Staff are friendly, caring and responsive; long-tenured leadership and a reliable care coordinator keep meds and questions handled promptly, though occasional staff turnover has caused brief hiccups. The food is diverse and tasty (dessert and cookies daily), and I've made friends and enjoy activities, but more physical options would be welcome and some programming is limited by residents' health. It's clean and comfortable most of the time, ALTCS and hospice support are available, but memory care felt pricey and value there was less clear.
