Food gets frequent mentions
Food quality is mentioned as a positive point in multiple reviews.
Some reviews directly mention that the food tastes good or that meals smell appealing, and one person says the resident’s meals are part of a good routine. The community also offers restaurant-style dining and meal service as part of resident life. One review, however, reports dissatisfaction with lunches and dinners, so food seems to vary by experience or preferences.
