I found the community immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and the grounds stunning. The staff were warm, professional and attentive - requests were handled promptly and caregivers often went above and beyond. Dining was excellent (award-winning chef), apartments were spacious and well-appointed, and activities/amenities were plentiful. It is on the pricey side and I noticed occasional staff/management inconsistencies and some memory-care concerns, so I'd recommend asking specific questions about staffing and fees.
