The staff here is amazing! they really make you feel at home. I cant recommend this place enough.

Beautiful facility. Residents always happy

WHY CANT I GIVE NEGATIVE STARS? Updated Review – One Year Later After a full year of experience at another reputable assisted living facility, I feel even more justified in warning families about this place. My mother is now 88 and thriving elsewhere — in a facility that is just as beautiful (actually newer), but far more ethical in how it operates. I knew the day would come when the infamous “point system” — the one these facilities use to quietly inflate bills — would be triggered. At her current community, they only adjusted her rate after documented changes over time. Not before move-in. Not during intake. Not by stretching minor incidents into revenue opportunities. This place, however, operates very differently. The way they manipulate assessments to justify higher monthly charges is deeply troubling. A minor curb trip — something I take responsibility for — was turned into a permanent “fall risk” label. Her independence with medications? Somehow translated into mandatory oversight and added cost. ( THEY ALSO DEMANDED I USE THEIR PHARMACY, where shes at, no mention of a PHARMACY) And let’s be clear: the assessment didn’t feel clinical. It felt financial. They push their in-house pharmacy. They assign “points.” They imply higher care needs. And somehow — almost magically — the monthly bill climbs. It is a highly polished operation. Beautiful building. Pleasant tours. Warm smiles. EXTREMELY GOOD COOKIES! But don’t confuse aesthetics with ethics. You don’t think it looks that nice for no reason, do you? You’ll pay for it. Guaranteed. Families: be very careful. There are far better run communities out there that do not treat an assessment like a sales funnel. And yes — Susan, in particular, was central to this experience. I’m extremely disappointed in how this was handled. Proceed with caution. PS. It went up nearly $1,000 dollars from $5000 originally without her stepping a foot into the place. The original rent is in line, that's why the do an " assessment " before she moves in.

Feel just like home. Everyone I interacted was so helpful and welcoming. Amazing place every resident looks so happy and healthy.

Every time I visit I'm impressed with how happy and cared for their community is. Everyone that works there are always so helpful and friendly. The food is really tasty, and you can tell everyone truly cares and takes pride in what they do here!
