I have lived here, in CESLC, for almost 2 years, and I love it! It has just about everything you could want, and expect, from a Senior Living Community. There are amenities to suit most, and the activities, and entertainment offered are great! The staff, are wonderful, very attentive, and extremely helpful. The building is clean, and safe (including the grounds) and the menus generally offer something for just about every palette! Great place to live out your golden years!

Great place for Senior care and accommodation. Awesome facility to recuperate and for adult care. Professional staff. Warm and friendly space. Beautiful environment. Well kept and organized. In-house social/engaging activities for seniors and residents. Independent and assisted living with a most welcoming verve. You will feel very much at home there.

I recently met with the clinical and corporate team members at Smith Life. They were warm and welcoming and clearly very skilled at what they do. This team loves and cares for each resident. I highly recommend this establishment for loved ones needing assisted living placement in a safe and nurturing environment.
