Review

The reviews paint a largely positive portrait of a senior living community that feels clean, safe, and welcoming. Many residents describe the place as a good home where "nice people" live and where safety and comfort are prioritizes. The sentiment is warm and stable: people are happy to call this place home, and the overall tone is one of appreciation for a setting that supports independent living with a friendly, supportive atmosphere.

There is, however, at least one stark caveat about odor in one of the buildings. One reviewer lamented that it smelled so bad they couldn't wait to leave, which stands in sharp contrast to the experience of a resident who has stayed for six years and loves it there. That longtime resident emphasizes gratitude for the chance to live in a place with a beautiful view, suggesting that the environment can feel uplifting and scenic for those who settle in. The divergent experiences underline that while the community works well for many, not every unit or moment may live up to the ideal for every person.

Space and apartment quality are mixed in the feedback. Several comments describe the apartments as very small, with carpets that need replacing and kitchens that feel tiny. These notes point to a need for upgrades or renovations to improve comfort and accessibility. Another practical detail emerges about the layout: although a one-bedroom unit can be a comfortable size, there is a preference among residents for showers rather than bathtubs, suggesting considerations about mobility and ease of use are important to the senior population here.

The staff and the social community are repeatedly highlighted as major strengths. Reviewers consistently praise the staff as terrific, saying they make residents feel as if they're part of a family. The atmosphere is described as friendly and inviting, with "lovely people" living in the buildings and a general sense of cleanliness across each building. The community offers ample activities and engagement, contributing to a sense of belonging and daily purpose for many residents who feel truly happy with the living situation.

Independent Living Services for the elderly are singled out as a significant benefit, especially where a resident's family ties come into play. One reviewer notes that their grandmother benefited from the on-site services, including access to a social worker and help with brown bag programs, underscoring the availability of support beyond just a rental unit. The presence of a social worker on site is framed as a meaningful resource, and the broader array of services reflects a comprehensive approach to elder care that can extend families' peace of mind.

Overall, the sentiment across comments is a mix of strong positives reinforced by clear opportunities for improvement. The community is described as having beautiful staff, clean grounds, and happy, engaged residents who appreciate the daily life and social environment. Yet concerns about odor in one building, the need for upgrades to carpet and kitchen space, and some notes about customer care suggest that consistency across buildings and more attention to comfort details would help elevate the experience for all residents. The blend of praise for safety, friendliness, and service - with constructive cautions about physical comfort and upkeep - paints a nuanced picture of a place that many residents value highly while recognizing areas where enhancements could make it even more welcoming.
