Review

Located in a serene community, this assisted living facility has garnered high praise from its residents. One resident, who has been residing there with their beloved dog Brooklyn for three years, highlights the joy they find in living here. Additionally, their positive experience is only enhanced by the great neighbors they have found.

Not only are the residents pleased with their stay, but their family members are equally satisfied. One reviewer expresses how their mother thoroughly enjoys her time here and has made wonderful friends. The warm and friendly atmosphere of this community is undoubtedly a significant factor contributing to its appeal. In fact, the reviewer rates this community as a five-star solely based on the outstanding individuals who reside here.

The staff at this assisted living facility deserves accolades for their exceptional service throughout the entire process - starting from the initial tour to move-in day and beyond. They have proven themselves to be incredibly helpful, ensuring a smooth transition for all residents. Furthermore, the sense of contentment extends beyond just one resident; it seems that everyone in this close-knit community is genuinely happy.

A notable aspect of this facility is that it strikes a perfect balance between providing activities for residents while respecting their desire for independence. A range of activities are offered to keep individuals engaged and entertained. However, those who wish to maintain some autonomy still have ample space to do so. For instance, the reviewer mentions that their mother can drive her own car and cook her meals independently. On top of that, there is an option to use the community van for off-campus activities or dine in communal areas.

Another resident shares their positive outlook on living in this facility - both personally and on behalf of their father. Highlighting his satisfaction with the place, they mention his love for card games - an activity he was hoping would be available when moving in. The resident also gives credit to the culinary arrangements provided by mentioning occasional lunch delivery at an affordable price.

Lastly, the comfortable surroundings outside of the apartments cannot go unnoticed. One reviewer acknowledges the presence of a pleasant sitting area just outside their father's apartment. This small addition further enhances the overall positive experience for residents, providing them with a serene space to relax and enjoy their surroundings.

All in all, this assisted living facility has received glowing reviews from its residents and their families. It is evident that the community fosters a homely environment where happiness thrives. The attentive staff, wide range of activities, and respect for residents' independence have contributed to the high satisfaction levels reported by all those who have chosen to call this place home. With such positive feedback, it comes as no surprise that this community comes highly recommended by those who have experienced its warmth firsthand.
