A beautiful retirement village. The property well maintained and perfectly manicured. Awesome staff and great place to visit for a Cruise-in. They fed all of us car people "for free" and, there were lovely ladies passing out cookies all day. On top of that there was also a live band playing great music as well. Just can't say enough.

This really is a good senior living facility and has been for decades. Unfortunately, the acillary services damage the overall image and goodwill. The office manager, Brenna, choses coy and condescending instwad of courteous and cordial. She does not empower her staff to act independently, choosing instead an authoritarian style that is at least 100 years out of date. It's a pity, but also pitiful.

As stated by another reviewer, please understand their business model. If you move into assisted living and need assistance (wheelchair) to get anywhere, they will immediately transfer you to the nursing side. That's when your loved one has no choice but to become bed ridden and go down hill. THEY WILL NOT PUSH YOU IN A WHEELCHAIR TO THE DINING HALL!!!

Poor management, high cost. The most common answer to any question is "I'm not sure" I'm sure this place has one goal. Extract the most money before your love one dies.
