Great community!

I really liked the community at Gum Springs Glen. The community was very attractive. I met with the staff and they were very pleasant. They were very kind and answered all of my questions. I really thought the community was very updated and clean throughout. They did not have anything available when I visited.

It appears that there were residents there that needed to be in assisted living. Thought it was for active adults.
