Toxic manager, will smile to your face but refuses all suggestions. Why not allow vending machines? Why not enough parking? Why only 6 handicapped spots when you acknowledged that half the residents are handicapped? There is no food in the bistro after noon, no vending machines, often no coffee cups. The meals are disapointing, just pick a sandwich or go across the street to the gas station. Sad. Do not go here.

Within this community, I feel at home. They are caring, considerate, and flexible to each one's needs. Everyone feels belong to this community.

Went to a viewing yesterday. Location focuses on independent living with all meals included in the basic rate. They are still in start up mode and should have more activities and transportation in the near future. Very upbeat staff.
