Review

A senior living community is described here as a place of warmth, friendships, and attentive care, where residents balance everyday routines with a strong sense of belonging. The environment feels welcoming and comfortable, offering a comfortable apartment setting that many residents treasure. People recount making wonderful friends and enjoying a supportive network that helps them feel at home, even as they navigate the changes that come with aging and life transitions. The overall tone is one of appreciation for the home's character and the connections that bloom within its walls.

At the same time, there is a practical concern about the layout that some residents feel detracts from the experience. The Trash Room is located right next to the dining area, where residents gather for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This proximity raises concerns about odors and disturbances during meals, making some residents wish the two spaces were farther apart. The issue is described as something that should not be so close to a dining room, especially in a setting where meal times are a central part of daily life. The note reflects a desire for better planning of the building's layout to ensure a more peaceful dining environment.

Despite this concern, praise for the people who run and sustain the community runs strong. The apartment itself is described as lovely, and the residents highlight the social fabric that forms within it. Cherie Provin, the administrator, and her staff are singled out as among the best, with particular appreciation for how they manage day-to-day operations and support people. Maintenance receives high marks, and activities are said to be great, contributing to a lively, engaged atmosphere where residents can pursue interests and stay connected with one another.

Beyond the day-to-day practicality, the reviews reveal a deep, personal sense of care and kindness that characterizes life there. One resident recounts a poignant experience in which the people in the building were incredibly sweet to them and their husband during a devastating time: they lost a daughter and had to move to take care of their grandchildren. The story underscores a compassionate community that supports neighbors through hardship, reinforcing the impression that this is more than just a place to live - it is a network of people who look out for one another.

Looking to the future, the same resident expresses a hopeful wish to return once circumstances allow. Even as life evolves and their grandchildren have grown, the emotional pull of the community remains strong, and they express a clear desire to come back. The sentiment is underscored by a heartfelt "??," signaling the warmth and personal connection that define life there for many of its residents. The combination of cherished friendships, capable leadership, and resilient community bonds makes the place feel like a true home.

Overall, the place is described as nice, with a blend of practical strengths and heartfelt, human experiences that give the community its character. It is a setting where residents can build lifelong friendships, receive attentive care from administrators and staff, and participate in an active schedule of activities. While there are legitimate concerns about the proximity of the Trash Room to the dining area, the prevailing mood is one of gratitude and affection for the people, the sense of community, and the genuine care that residents feel from those who oversee and operate the property.
