    • The facility is praised as an incredible place with amazing staff, and a hidden gem in Saco, offering affordable, independent, and senior living options with a mission to provide a home-like atmosphere.

    Critical Review:

    • One review notes a decline in satisfaction due to new management, mentioning a large turnover of staff, unrepaired items, and a decrease in the overall upkeep of the complex. Specifically, they criticize the decision to no longer assist non-assisted living seniors with snow removal around their vehicles, a service that was previously offered but has been discontinued, allegedly due to budget constraints.

    Overall:

    The majority of reviews for the retirement home are overwhelmingly positive, with many highlighting the excellent care, friendly community, and the range of activities available for residents. The staff is frequently mentioned as going above and beyond in their duties. However, there is a notable concern regarding changes in management and services, particularly around the issue of snow removal for non-assisted living residents. Prospective residents and their families may want to inquire about recent changes and how they might affect their experience.
