    Positive community, some concerning care

    I moved my dad here and overall I'm glad - the facility is beautiful, new and well-kept with great outdoor areas, lots of activities, good food, and many caring, friendly staff (front desk staff like Darlene, Mary and Alyssa were especially helpful). Residents are social and happy and the community's health/safety monitoring and communication gave me peace of mind. That said, I've seen indifferent CNAs, occasional disrespect and a serious safety lapse with poor accountability; apartments can be brighter/cleaner and medical help beyond meds is limited. It's worth a look - great community and staff overall, but ask hard questions about care levels, fees and incident follow-up.
