I enjoy living at this community. The staff are nice and quick to respond when I need assistance with anything. They give out a monthly schedule of activities going on in the community. My apartment and the community are kept clean. I have huge tall windows in my third floor apartment. This community is beautiful and I would recommend it.
We picked this community, because t's fairly new and is a nice location. They also had an opening where other places had a 2+ year waiting list. He is very happy there and has made friends and is involved in weekly activities like bingo and left right center.
