More institutional than expected

Some visitors felt the setting was too hospital-like.

A few reviewers describe the environment as older or more medical-looking than they expected, including concerns about how structured routines and dining presentation felt. One reviewer specifically compared the atmosphere to a hospital-style experience and felt the community didn’t seem to support residents’ independence medically. Other reviewers did acknowledge the building being older but still kept up, so perceptions vary by visit and expectations.
