The facility is praised for its cleanliness, the dedication of its staff, and the care provided to residents. Some reviews mention the facility being a good value for the price, with reasonable rates compared to other options.

However, there are several concerns raised in the reviews.

Concerns about the staff's interaction with residents were noted, including instances where staff appeared to ignore residents until noticed by visitors. Reports of roaches and a strong smell in the facility were also mentioned. Additionally, issues with staff turnover and a perceived lack of investment in the community were raised.

The recent change in ownership in January 2011 has been noted to bring improvements to the physical space, staff, and food quality. The facility offers a range of room sizes and prices, but lacks rooms equipped with kitchens or kitchenettes.
