    Active, clean community with caveats

    I toured and stayed here and found a beautiful, spotless, homey community with robust activities (exercise, games, church, movies, classes), strong therapy/skilled nursing, and genuinely caring, professional staff who helped with my hip recovery. Apartments are on the smaller side and the place is pricier than many alternatives; dining gets mixed reviews. I felt safe and supported overall, though I noticed occasional slow call-light response, communication hiccups and uneven caregiving at times. If you want an active, well-kept senior community and can afford it, I'd recommend it with those caveats.
