Read moreOur family had an in person tour and we absolutely loved this community, 5 stars across the board. The staff to resident ratio is very low - in the single digits and the amount of time the staff have been there really stood out to us. We met people who had been there 5 years, 8 years, 10 years and beyond. It is more expensive but you are getting what you pay for.
Read moreOur family had an in person tour and we loved it, 5 stars across the board. The community is open, airy, and the people looked so happy. The apartments overlooked a beautiful courtyard. The amenities were great and they even served us lunch which the food was so good. However the community was just a tad to big for our loved one and the sales manager was just a little to pushy.
