This community is a decent place. We didn't have many problems with the community. The communication could have been better; however this might have been effected due to the pandemic. I would recommend this community to others.

Be sure to look at the care givers/employees. Are they friendly and visible? Is the vibe and furnishings similar to how your loved one lives? Location to you if you are in town? Of course hurricane policies?
