I would highly recommend the community to others for their loved ones. This is a clean and friendly place with good services. It is a good value for the money. The food isn't individually as targeted as my loved one would like.

Safety is an important factor. Gated parking for residents, always have someone at the reception desk or security person at night. Staff is great about helping with anything you ask them to do. If they can't help, they will put you in contact with someone that can help.
