    Excellent care, amenities, administrative concerns

    I live/worked here and overall had a mixed but largely positive experience. The clinical team, rehab/PT, dining and activities are outstanding - friendly, caring staff, excellent therapy, heated pool, roomy sunny apartments and a true life-care continuum that gave my family peace of mind. However, admin was sometimes aloof or unresponsive (messages ignored, some staff unfriendly), buy-in/fees can be high, a few rooms lack windows/kitchenettes, and I noticed occasional care coordination issues and dementia-wandering safety concerns. If you need strong medical/rehab services and great amenities, I'd recommend it; if upfront cost or attentive admin/staff responsiveness is your top priority, look carefully.
