  • Renter Beware Promises are not kept

    Since covid maintenance is not working at all. I would just advise to be aware. There are a lot of promises made but there is not as much follow through. This is mainly with maintenance and the urgency to respond to the request. My mom is with nice people but all they talk about is all of the issues but she is happy and that's what matters.

  • A great place to live

    They do have different activities for the residents to do and a bus that takes them around places to do things. This community is well worth it. The staff are also very helpful with anything that is needed.
