What People Are Saying
“From the pictures, the facility is breathtaking and once you arrive, you will feel the
same way. All staffing is professional and accommodating to your needs and
questions… All the residents seem happy and active, it seems to be the place where
the transition from home to there would be easy. I would highly suggest scheduling
an appointment to see if this is the place that you would like your loved one to be in.”

“The facility is very attractive, offering an aesthetic element missing from most
nursing homes. My grandmother, who was almost 90 at the time she was there,
loved the place. The staff is warm and friendly, offering assistance to both the family
as well as my grandmother. Grandma would only say good things about the place
when she came over to visit on holidays. She really enjoyed the fact that this facility
allowed for pets, specifically cats… Grandma had more independence as to when
she could eat and what activities she had to be involved with. She really enjoyed the
large fireplace in the main lobby for sitting and reading. She even said it was her
“home away from home.” I know, near the end, she made many new friends with
both the staff and the clients. I am thankful she spent her last few years at such a
warm place.”

“We immediately liked this facility right after we attended a tour and we liked it even
more after we arranged for our mom to stay there. It is really a lovely facility with
beautiful decor, a number of amenities as well as programs, designed to enrich the
lives of their senior residents. The most impressive thing is that you can see that all
residents you meet are very happy and everyone you meet in the facility says “hi”
with a smile on their faces. We were also very impressed by the director of sales and
community relations for her professional attitude and work ethics. She could
quickly answer all our questions and handled things very efficiently. Another thing
we have to mention is their dining hall. Besides everyday fresh flowers on each table
and some live music, the meal service is so good that you may feel you are at a
restaurant on a river cruise. We would highly recommend this senior living
community to anyone looking into options for their loved ones, or for themselves.”
