    Bright facility but staffing concerns

    I moved into this bright, spacious, very clean community and appreciated the caring, attentive staff, strong activities program, easy move-in, and overall value. That said, the place is often understaffed, with high turnover and uneven training that leads to slow emergency responses, delayed maintenance, billing confusion, and inconsistent dining (tasty at times, bland or late at others). Management can be professional and helpful but also disorganized and unaccountable - I even heard serious allegations about the kitchen and witnessed lapses in memory-care supervision. Friendly staff and a lovely facility make it a good fit for some, but anyone considering a move should vet staffing, care oversight, and billing closely.
