A really great place to live. The Staff let you have your space yet can be there in a snap. Entire staff is very professional
Jade Li
Staff are rude, may have training issues regarding management. They seem to be very monetary-focused rather than actually caring about their residents. They don't try to be helpful and seem to look for ways to do the least amount of work. Initially they seem very nice and eager but when they realize that they can't get what they want from you, their demeanor completely changes. I would be concerned that they put up a nice front when I am around but are different around my loved ones. My interactions with the staff left a bad taste in my mouth. I would never put any of my loved ones in this community.

I gave a friend that lives here. It’s very nice.
