They have always been a good facility. Pay may not be great. But, they took care of patients and facility.

I live here and love it
Linda Etheridge
The residents are the best. The management however is not. Arbitrary rules are sometimes enforced and other times ignored. Rules are very detailed listing what furniture is allowed on your porch for example. The grounds around the patio homes are very hilly making it impossible for people with disabilities to walk around outside. But in the apartments and cottages areas the ground is level and easily accessible. We lived there on the hilly part for 10 months and got out as soon as we found alternate accommodations. We were willing to pay the penalty in order to leave before our lease expired. Socially it is a great place for seniors. It is a safe place that is mostly maintained well. But it is not a good fit for people who want reasonable, equably enforced rules.
