Several reviewers say the community has had renovations and looks beautiful or improved, including newly renovated rooms and a more polished overall feel.

Staff care feels personal
Many families describe staff as kind, attentive, and engaged with residents.
A strong portion of the reviews describe staff members as caring, friendly, and professional, with examples like checking on residents multiple times a day and helping with daily needs. Reviews also mention staff building familiarity with residents and their families, which some describe as creating a comfortable, home-like feeling. There are also complaints from a smaller group about staff shortages and neglect, but the most consistent positive thread is how residents are treated when families are present and when they reach out.

Memory care gets mixed reports
Memory care support is a central theme, with both praise and serious concerns.
Several reviews mention dementia or memory care needs and describe staff going out of their way to help residents and support families, including assistance with bathing and daily care. Other reviews are much more critical, describing neglect, inadequate supervision, or serious issues that led families to move someone out. Because the feedback spans both strong confidence and strong frustration, families should plan to verify how care needs are handled for their loved one.

Activities are sometimes challenged
Some families say activities fall short of what the community describes.
Several reviewers are positive about ongoing activities and schedules, including daily activities and regular community events. However, multiple critical reviews say there are no meaningful activities or that residents spend long stretches without being helped or engaged. That split suggests families may want to observe activity engagement during a visit rather than relying only on what is promised.
caveat
6 reviews mention this
Communication and staffing concerns recur
Some reviews raise concerns about staffing levels and getting timely answers.
While some reviews describe management as professional and responsive, others report difficulty reaching the director or not hearing back after repeated messages. Several negative reviews also mention short staffing, residents being left alone, or problems with how concerns are handled. A few reviews even point to administrative turnover and changes that made care feel inconsistent, reinforcing the importance of confirming current staffing and responsiveness.
