This place pays attention to little comforts like a full-service beauty salon, spa, a sit-down restaurant with chef-prepared meals three times a day-plus gluten-free and vegetarian choices-a library, pet-friendly policies, accessible rooms for those with disabilities, and fast Wi-Fi, and you see residents relaxing on benches in the professionally landscaped courtyard or attending fitness classes, taking walks, or joining gatherings for social, creative, and mentally stimulating activities, which is a big reason why the community score is high, and why they've gotten awards for how their events keep people physically, mentally, and emotionally engaged.
The staff keep a close eye on health needs, offering routine checks and medication management, and residents get personalized support with daily living if they want it, which makes the atmosphere feel respectful and professional, and everything from meal planning to care routines feels thought out to promote a sense of belonging and connection among the 120-resident capacity. There are ongoing life-enrichment activities, a packed events calendar, luxury amenities, secured memory care wings, walking paths, and outdoor dining spaces, along with transportation services for errands or outings, so everyone can stay active and connected with others or simply enjoy the peace of the gardens. The state verifies the license until July 18, 2025, which adds peace of mind when looking at care and safety standards, and people can come tour the community to get a better look at the dining, social, and daily routines offered.
