After eight months at Searstone, my wife and I are very happy with our decision to move here. We’ve met some wonderful people, made new friends, and really enjoy the activities and sense of community. Most of all, we have the peace of mind that comes from knowing we’re in a place where we can enjoy life and feel well cared for.

Went to a Brunch. Food was horrible and understaffed. Building was nice. I’m retired but would not buy there due to the horrible food and it was Mother’s Day!!!
