    Caring staff, excellent amenities, value

    I live here and love it - the staff are caring and responsive, the food is excellent (Ritz-Caliber) with flexible meal options, and there are daily activities and terrific amenities like pool, gym, pickleball and a library. The grounds are beautiful and well-maintained with ponds, fountains and gardens, pets are welcome, and transportation plus included services (linen, light housekeeping, shuttle to doctors) make life easy. I own my condo (buy-in), feel safe in a friendly, resident-owned community, and consider this excellent value - I'd recommend it.
