    Beautiful community, concerns about care

    I have mixed feelings. The building is beautiful, clean, full of activities and outings, and many staff (Shawn stood out) were caring and helped make the move smooth - my parent is happy there. That said, communication and administration felt money-focused, maintenance/housekeeping and food were inconsistent, and staffing/memory-care issues left me concerned. I'd recommend for independent living with reservations about higher-level care.
