We have a gathering area with chairs, tables and umbrellas where many of our neighbors gather weather permitting in the evenings. Its in the center of our little housing group so it's right out front. Lots of good conversation and laughter. Wonderful neighbors.

The staff seems friendly and helpful. My mother is in an independent living unit so we don't need the help of the staff often, but they do seem nice.
