While a beautiful facility with excellent amenities and overall quality staff they mislead you to believe they can provide more long term care than they will actually offer. We enquired specifically about care after a fall, personal hygiene/bathing/toileting and were reassured that was available. Within two months of moving in our father fell and the barriers to return are that he is unable to be independent In the bathroom. We now have to find another facility that is actually staffed to offer the appropriate care that was initially promised. Their point of contact for intake does not have a medical background and is entirely sales driven without relevant expertise to ensure all around care. If memory care or loss of faculties is a possibility I would encourage you to look into other options.

My mother-in-law lived at the Village for five years and absolutely loved it. The care team is extremely friendly and accommodating and did a great job of keeping the residents safe and comfortable through the pandemic. The food is good, the facilities are first class and the entire complex is well-maintained. The lovely gardens provide great opportunity for outdoor exercise and enjoyment and many outings are offered for shopping and sightseeing. All the staff are very friendly, professional and caring. The Village is a great place to live!

My father has been here almost a year. At 100 years young, he finds the accommodations and the entire staff to be wonderful, as does his immediate family. He's mostly independent but with failing eyesight, he needs an escort to go between all the events, and his 3 meals a day which they easily accommodate, like clockwork. Meds given in his room 3x per day by AHS LPNs and PSW's. Meals may be the highlight for him. Maybe not Michelin, but pretty darn good. Highly recommended in 2023. All inclusive studio apartment, with all services, meals, etc less than $4000/mo as of November 2023. Good value imho.
