    Review Summary

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

    Reviews highlight the exceptional cleanliness, attentive and helpful staff, and the variety of activities available at the senior living facility. Many reviewers note the facility's resemblance to a hotel with the added benefit of nursing care, making it a comfortable and happy place for their loved ones. Despite its high cost, the value is deemed worth it by those who can afford it.

    Residents and their families appreciate the wonderful staff, their kindness, and the extra mile they go to assist with any problems. The facility's response to the pandemic has been praised for its effectiveness in protecting its vulnerable population. The low staff turnover is attributed to the caring and respectful work environment, which is also reflected in the quality of care provided to the residents.

    The facility is described as family-oriented, with a warm atmosphere that makes residents feel at home. Staff members are known to treat residents with dignity and respect, creating a heimisch (homey) environment without religious pressure. The facility is well-maintained, offering healthy meals, welcoming family and friends, and providing memorable experiences.

    Cultural programming, community events, and the quality of food are highlighted as aspects that contribute to a high quality of life for residents. The facility is commended for its comprehensive care, including truly home-cooked meals and amazing musical performances. It is considered one of the best senior living communities, with a deep care for residents' well-being.

    However, one review mentions a negative experience regarding parking management and a perceived sense of entitlement among some upper-level management staff. This contrasts with the overwhelmingly positive feedback about the friendly and caring staff, clean and attractive environment, and the variety of engaging activities and programs that include family members.

    Overall, the reviews paint a picture of a caring, professional, and welcoming community that prioritizes the well-being and happiness of its residents, making it a highly recommended choice for senior living.
