    Lovely independent living, poor care

    I loved the clean, beautiful facility, friendly and genuinely caring staff, lots of activities, and a great location. But I found it seriously understaffed - aides were kind yet often unable to meet needs, meals were cold/not diabetic-friendly, help arrived slowly, and memory/assisted care was inadequate. Management misled us about services, changed lease/charges unfairly (even after a death), and safety/communication issues (no cameras, delayed responses) worried me. In short: lovely place and wonderful staff for independent living, but not reliable or safe for higher-care needs.
