    • Positive aspects highlighted include the beautiful campus and apartment layouts, friendly staff, a variety of fun activities, and exceptional care during the Covid-19 pandemic, including the use of Zoom calls for family communication.
    • Some residents appreciate the welcoming atmosphere, the clean and well-maintained facilities, and the range of amenities such as a library, chapel, salon, and dining room. The staff is described as responsive, kind, and caring, with a special mention of the new leadership under Executive Director Karina and Wellness Director Renarda for elevating the level of care.
