Great location, and delicious food.

The community is gorgeous, I visited for the Luau and it was the most incredible performance I’ve ever seen, Val did a great job in organizing the event for the residents.
Chris Salerno
The place is well appointed and beautiful. However in memory care they approach a mid level nursing home. I applauded the place for the first few months and then noticed the neglect. It's clean and safe but the care is lacking
