    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    The memory care unit has received praise for its layout and the central gathering spot which allows residents to engage with each other easily, while also making it simpler for staff to monitor them. The decorations and "work" stations provide meaningful activities for the residents. Staff members are described as very kind and caring.

    Many reviewers have expressed satisfaction with the level of care and attention their loved ones receive, particularly highlighting the staff's efforts to make transitions into the community as smooth as possible. Personal stories of improvement in both physical and cognitive abilities of residents have been shared, attributing these successes to the excellent leadership and the dedicated staff in the memory care unit.

    However, there are also negative reviews concerning the facility. Some have noted a decline in the level of care provided, and there are allegations of discrimination and overall dissatisfaction with both working and living conditions. These reviews contrast sharply with the positive experiences shared by others.

    Despite the mixed reviews, there are consistent mentions of a great cook and a generally great staff, suggesting that for some, the community has lived up to expectations. The smaller size of the community is also appreciated, as it fosters a more intimate environment where residents can easily make friends.
