I have been here six years and love it. My apartment is very roomy and functional. The maintenance, management, and overall atmosphere are terrific, very peaceful. Parking is easy. The location is convenient: turnpike, train, busses, shopping. The price is a bit high for me, but life here is worth every penny. I am so grateful to be able to live here.
My grandmother lived here for a few years - we are now looking for my mother in law! We loved the care so much we decided to look here again. The staff is compassionate and caring. I really can't say enough good things about the community and the staff. This place is very much worth looking into!!!
The staff were very nice and helpful. They keep the community well taken care of. They offer a variety of activities. He loved the food. I would recommend this community for a respite stay.
