Another reviewer attended a birthday party at Laurel Cove Community and was impressed with the large lobby or living room. While they didn't have access to other areas of the facility, they noted that their friend who lived there received excellent care in assisted living despite mobility challenges.

They were expecting a specific diabetic diet but had to mix food from the kitchen with their own low-carb options due to limitations from the chef.
