The location, with its cool breezes off Lake Michigan and beautiful views, is frequently praised. The administration and staff are described as first-rate, with a commitment to quality and safety.

Yet, there is also a mention of the challenges faced by the senior living industry, including staffing and the balance between profit-driven and mission-driven goals.

    Overall, while many reviews paint a picture of a vibrant, caring community with a strong emphasis on values and quality of life, there are voices that urge caution and due diligence, especially regarding care levels and management practices.
