The facility itself receives compliments for its beauty, excellent food, and the quality of care provided, with some comparing it to a 5-star resort and noting the kind and helpful team.

    However, there are concerns regarding the facility's policies and management practices. Some reviews express dissatisfaction with the strict visitor hours, lack of independence for residents, and the handling of medication without proper health monitoring. Concerns about the facility's focus on profit over care are mentioned, including high staff turnover, underpayment of staff, and significant rent increases without clear justification.

    On the other hand, some families report negative experiences, including issues with communication regarding the care of loved ones and feeling that the facility's practices are underhanded or greedy, particularly in relation to significant rent increases.

    Overall, while many reviews celebrate the facility's amenities, staff, and environment, there are significant concerns about its management practices, financial policies, and the level of care and independence afforded to residents.
