My late father, Mark Miller, was the project manager over this whole complex. It truly warms my heart to know that something that he put so much of himself into is such a beautiful, secure and helpful place to those that need it!

My mom is really comfortable here! Lots of community and activities. Like a private residential club with step up facilities if you eventually need them. The one meal I had on property was delicious (calzones…so good). Pool/gym looked nice - everything is sparkling clean just kind of old fashioned in its aesthetic. Lovely grounds and every staff person was friendly!

I am a caregiver with clients living at this facility. Nice facility with lots of activity and dining options. Quite campus and feels safe.

Very nice facility. Constantly striving to improve. So you buy into the place, this amount is equal to a nice house, 15 years ago, about 250k not sure what it is today. What you receive in return is a housing unit, use of the facilities, and a meal allowance for eating on campus. Similar to a condo. Buy-in options have changed some with more options available. If you need some assistance in living, that is available. After initial buy in if your finances change, they won't kick you out, and they do have some limited section 8 housing. Lots of activities for able bodied and for those more challenged. Beautiful setting lots of nature trails, gardens, and a wonderful pond. Lots of wildlife, the visits down the mountain by the bears are a nice annual surprise. I highly recommend it!
