I found the community spotless, bright and luxurious - welcoming staff, compassionate care, award-quality dining, varied activities, lovely gardens and leadership that genuinely cares. My main concerns were inconsistent med management (poor documentation and frequent med-tech turnover), occasional memory-care staffing gaps, small rooms and a high price tag. Overall I recommend a tour - fantastic facility and team, but insist on clear answers about medication processes and memory-care staffing before you commit.
