Many appreciate the facility's unique features, such as the indoor rainforest, swimming pool, and a variety of activities that keep residents engaged. The staff is often described as friendly, attentive, and professional, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere.

A few reviews highlight specific negative incidents, such as aggressive behavior from staff and inadequate response to mental health crises.

This place has went down hill!! The food is good, but always cold. On Sundays you have a continental breakfast and then a boxed lunch with a sandwich and some cut up vegetables. The activities are the worse, jewelry making once a week, petting a dog, puzzles and movies. They have happy hour and a once a month birthday trivia, which they give you a piece of fruit on lettuce. Many residents have had things stolen from their apartments and the cleaning is terrible. They wash the floor and empty your garbage, but the dust builds up everywhere. I don't recommend this place.
