    Welcoming community, great amenities, inconsistent

    I toured and visited several times and felt warmly welcomed - the staff were consistently friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring, the community is beautiful and impeccably maintained with stunning patios, great common spaces, excellent dining, and a lively activities program. Transitions felt smooth and residents seemed engaged and supported. My only caveats: recent management/staff turnover has created some variability in care, housekeeping and service at times, and costs have risen, so ask about current staffing and recent changes - overall I'd recommend with those questions in mind.

Apartments come with cable or satellite TV, emergency call systems, kitchenettes, private bathrooms, walk-in closets, and different ways to arrange furniture, so people can settle in how they like. The community provides daily meals in restaurant-style dining rooms served by an executive chef, with the tables set with white linens, and residents can join a continental breakfast with lunch or dinner, and the dining features fresh, seasonal, often local food. There's both independent and assisted living options, so if a resident needs daily help, medication management, meal assistance, transportation, or medical services, the staff handles it, and 24-hour nurse coverage and emergency maintenance are available.

    For memory care, there's a secure neighborhood with specialized programs, private ground floor units, soothing gardens, and activities to support emotional, physical, social, and spiritual needs, all under the direction of highly-trained caregivers, and memory care residents get relationship-based and personalized care plans. The facility has a wellness center named Elancé at West End, where folks go for wellness programs, holistic therapies, personal treatments, and even use a therapy pool and spa. The grounds include landscaped gardens, outside walking paths, a courtyard with fireplaces, covered parking, and elevators. Residents have many amenities-fitness center, library, computer room with internet, resident lounge, arts and crafts room, theater, and pet-friendly units with dedicated pet services like walking and bathing. There are also unlimited salon and spa services with hair cuts, manicures, pedicures, and more. The place runs progressive wellness programs and brings in on-site doctors, including for outpatient rehab, whether speech, occupational, or physical therapy is needed.

    People stay active with Forever Fit fitness classes and join in programs like Melody & Masterpiece for art, Virtual Voyages for travel experiences, and Memories in Motion presentations that celebrate life stories. Pawsitive Health brings therapy animals to boost mood and keep spirits high, while community events like "Food of the World" and casual chats help folks connect. Respite stays, which last 30 to 90 days, come with furnished units and all-inclusive rates if someone needs short-term care or recovery, and the staff takes care of everything from meals to housekeeping and medication. Safety is a priority with emergency response systems, controlled entry, fire and security, 24/7 care, and all utilities included in the cost. The community keeps a regular calendar full of activities and outings, with transportation for appointments or day trips. The décor mixes vintage touches with warm colors, aiming to make spaces feel both welcoming and calming, so everyone who lives there has their dignity and independence respected, while getting the support and companionship they need to enjoy each day.
