Terrible place for seniors to live. The owner Tom is not a nice person. He bullied my mom the entire time she lived there. He is a bully. He kicked my mom out because he says she took a roll of toilet paper. My mom offered to pay it back. He still kicked her out.

This is an awesome place. You can be as busy as you want, or as private. The common areas are always spotless. The neighbors are super! Love it!!
