I chose this community and feel truly relieved - the staff are warm, professional and genuinely caring, communication is responsive, and caregivers are very competent. The building and apartments are gorgeous and spotless (high ceilings, modern kitchens/baths, terraces, lovely gardens), with resort-quality amenities, two chef-driven restaurants and abundant, well-run activities that make daily life joyful. Memory care is compassionate and the move-in/wellness teams were exceptional, so I have real peace of mind and a strong sense of home. There have been a few hiccups (occasional evening coverage and after-hours responsiveness), but overall I highly recommend this place.
