    Beautiful well-run community but pricey

    I toured the community and was impressed - beautiful, very clean grounds and apartments (spacious units, balconies, granite kitchens), great pool and amenities, and lots of activities. Staff were consistently warm, caring, organized and responsive; residents seemed happy and social. Dining was generally good with multiple options and supportive services, and the attached skilled nursing/rehab is reassuring. It's well-run and safe, but pricey with a long waitlist and not ideal if you need 24/7 assisted care.
