"My sister -in-law moved in and middle of winter storms. Sales staff Olivia has been amazing to work with. She has helped coordinate all the details large and small. (In middle of ice storm). All staff has be so welcoming. My sister-in-law loves all the activities, the food is wonderful, the bistro is an added bonus in case you want to go grab something for a late breakfast or early lunch. Happy hour is amazing with music , finger foods and drinks. She said if you go hungry around there, it has to be your own fault cause the food is amazing and there’s food at every event. She has made so many new friends and when you walk in if there’s a staff that approaches them, they know their name. I walked in one time and a staff member was helping her find a book in the library. You will not find a more caring beautiful place. It’s clean and the housekeeping/maintence have been on top of things. Come set in the lobby for 30 min it will be an easy decision" - Judy…
