I liked Maris Grove. I have no complaints about it. It was just too far out. I have my children here in the city and they don't want me to go that far out. It was nice. The food was most delicious. They have the amenities, except for cutting young grass, and you are independently living and it's good. The rooms were very nice. You had a choice between having everything in one big room, a one bedroom and two bedrooms. It was nice. They were very informative and very inviting. I didn't feel like I wasn't welcomed there. They did everything. Matter of fact, I still get information from them inviting me to different events. They're still recruiting. So I have no problems with them.

Evergreen Pointe Assisted living has an inept administration who have no regard for the well being of residents. Their job seems to be harassing residents & families for more money. Mistakes have been made with medication administration, billing residents for medications that were not prescribed and the like. This place is run like a business without a glimmer of compassion. I do not recommend Evergreen Pointe.

Maris Grove was very nice and cozy. You walk in there and it was like stepping into a really big hotel that looked beautiful. They had theaters and different eating areas. The walking areas were nice. We saw the apartment and that was very nice, too. We also saw residents gathered together playing cards and doing crafts, and that looked great. It looked like a nice place to live. The staff that we met was very pleasant.

We will be moving into Maris Grove. The facility was excellent. We liked the care and everything about it. The staff members were excellent. The apartment we picked out is going to be very well suited for us. We were very impressed with them. We liked the size, amenities, and overall layout of the place. It meets our needs. They have a courtyard. The facility is very well organized, very clean, and accessible. They have many clubs that we can get involved in, and it's a place that I think we can enjoy.

We toured Maris Grove and we liked the warmth of the community, especially the people that they have hired to do the tours. They were very kind and not at all pushy. It's a beautiful facility. Everything's very clean, very fresh, and very friendly. It's very accessible to anything that anybody could ever need, like huge shopping centers.

My mom is in Maris Grove. It is exceptionally very clean, modern, and nicely decorated. It is upscale in its feel, so it's a very nice place. We have been pleased with the staff so far. They did an exceptional job of keeping everybody healthy during COVID. They had to modify things to make sure the germs didn't go through. Fortunately, my mom was very lucky she did not get sick with COVID. The food was good. They have a lot of activities like day trips, movies, and card games. They have a swimming pool and a gym. They have a lot of amenities. The apartments are very nice. It is very expensive, but you get what you pay for.

The people who gave us the tour at Maris Grove were very nice. They were very understanding, showed us around, and were gracious and all the rest. I'm looking at the space, and it's not the place. The staff who showed us around were lovely, but it just isn't going to fly. They are more sterile, it's brand new, but the size is the problem. The other problem from my parent's point of view is that it would have been a long way for them to go to eat dinner because they would have to go a distance to get the elevator, and they'd have to go downstairs. My father doesn't want to eat in public, so that's also a problem. All these places want you to eat at the dining area so that they can see how you're doing and it's easier for them. My dad lost several teeth, so he doesn't want to eat in front of people. Plus, he likes his food later than everybody else. We didn't see very many people, but I think it's pretty full. It's not like we had a sense of a lot of community going on, it was pretty sparse. I mean, we saw like one person going. In the tour experience, the woman was lovely, but it's just not a good fit for us. It's very clean, and it's a little sterile. It looks a little too impersonal, and I mean that's a personal thing. I can't quantify that by a number. It's certainly incredibly well kept up and spotless. It just doesn't feel like a place that would fit my parents, who lived in a home built in 1910. It might work for some people. They have the salon and a little place to do PT. There are no balconies or anything like that. I think there are some places that people can sit out, but I doubt my parents would take advantage of that because it feels like a hotel, not a home.

The following is my HONEST review...period! (The plus:) The management tries very hard to address concerns that involve safety and well being. They also are outstanding in dealing with the virus concerns. The food is good but not outstanding and is rarely hot but warm and that is o.k. for most of us. Security/ Medical is very good and they have hobbies galore. Price is average for this area. (The minus:) PLEASE bring a lawyer and a recorder with you on your purchase day. There will be promises and lies galore to sell you....period!

My aunt lives in Maris Grove and that's a wonderful place. It was different with Covid, you couldn't go in. Pre-Covid, it was a great place. Everyone was friendly. The place was very nice, clean, and appealing. My aunt seems very happy there. They have everything. They have the dining, a pharmacy, and all of the activities. The meals are up to the plan that you get, but she has some meals (not all meals). When I was there to visit her, she prepared the food for us. She has a social group that she is very close with. They've become best friends, and the staff members are all very friendly and helpful. The building is fairly new. It's a little bit more on the expensive side. If you have the money, it is on the top of my list.

Maris Grove Senior Living Community seemed like a very nice and very clean community. It had all the things that we needed. It had an exercise room, a pool, activities, a restaurant, and a bistro. It had all the three levels, the independent, assisted and skilled nursing. We were looking for a place with a balcony and most of them didn't have balconies.

I brought my father here while looking for possible assisted living options in the future. While not impressed, we succumbed to the pressure of writing a check on the spot to secure a spot on the 'Priority Waiting List'. We were told it was fully refundable, so why not keep the option open? I've since asked for the promised reimbursement, but after two months I've heard nothing but a litany of 'the check is in the mail'. Buyer, beware; their finance department is a Black hole of unanswered questions and unfilled promises.

My wife is interested in ceramics and art. They have hundreds of different programs. I'm doing the exercises and the computer activities. Our apartment is spacious and very clean.

My mother was there for almost 10 years as she started to decline, they pushed for her to move out into the assisted living part. What they didn't state was there wasn't a "memory care" like other facilities. She would say that security was entering her unit, once reported they just chalked it up as being crazy. While I was packing her things and cleaning out her unit, a security guard walked in unannounced. Imagine my shock. She was always telling me that someone was stealing from her and someone was in the unit. She was progressively getting worse but all her jewelry was missing, $10K worth. I can't prove it and they deny it but listen to your loved ones. They are not always "crazy" We use to call it the compound. They have a bank with SDB, a hair salon, gym, indoor lap pool, their own doctors, convenient store, movie theater, cafeteria, dinning rooms, a bar, and a very rude "gate" person. No reason to ever leave, you didn't even have to go outside, all buildings were connected. It was very nice but I would't have allowed my mother to move in if I had anything to do with it, They even kept $65K once she moved out. They said they needed to gut the place which indeed they did. (you can build a whole house for that amount of money not a two bedroom unit) She did get back what she put in for it, less the 65K and three months rent! Once she moved out they were selling her unit for $75K more. Please educate yourselves before moving into these communities. It's all about the money, it always is. Good luck!

My parent-in-laws are in assisted living at Maris Grove. Their apartment is really like a condominium and they're responsible for it. They have a theater for movies, a little library, a pool, an activity room where you can go for physical therapy or exercise, art stuff, games, a garden outside for people who want to garden, and trips. They have a 2-bedroom apartment with a one-and-a-half bath, a kitchen, a dining room, and a living room. It's plenty enough space for them and they're comfortable with it. Sometimes the food is really good, and sometimes it's not. My in-laws are fairly happy with it, but I wouldn't want to live there. They really seem to take care of their people, but that's not how I choose to live. The place is really nice.

We're about to move into Maris Grove. I've heard a lot of positive things about it. The facility is extremely well-cared for, the staff and residents are very friendly, and we have about 500 activities to choose from, with most of them run by the residents. They have meeting rooms, woodshop, garden areas, and a beautiful chapel. The apartments are beautiful, very well-cared for, and with different choices. They're building new areas that are opening in 2018. The food is excellent, and they have 30 meals a month as part of the package. There are three different restaurants to choose from for lunch and dinner.

Large complex with hard to read signs....not a good thing for elderly folks or others visiting. Gate guard gave incorrect directions to office.....ie..go to first stop sign and turn right.....but no street to turn right...only left? Waited at front desk for quite sometime while front desk person chatting with someone (co-worker, resident?) regarding personal issues. Figured they must be full and have no vacancies as got tired of waiting and walked out especially if this was any indication of the services my mother in law could expect as a resident.

We had a chance to see Maris Grove. The place is nice but pricey. The place is large and convenient to shopping, and they have a lot of different amenities to offer, but we would not interested because they don’t have cottages, and we are really interested in cottages.

The first place we visited was Maris Grove. We loved it and would move in tomorrow! We chose it because it was large, clean, and had everything we would like, except it was too far from our daughter’s home. I love that they offer a variety of care, from independent living to hospitalization. I also love the activities and the cleanliness of the place. We chose a two-bedroom with two bathrooms and a patio, balcony or porch. I would recommend this place to others.

Maris Grove is a very large community -- there are over a thousand residents here. Some of the problems we have is it’s too far to go to different parts of the facility. It’s just too big. Now, they are breaking grounds for two more buildings. The food is not very good. Usually, you wait for half an hour after you go down before you can be seated. Sometimes, it’s longer than that, if it’s a special occasion like Valentine’s Day. You have to wait an hour to be seated because everybody goes to eat. That’s really disappointing. They have a swimming pool, a fitness center, a medical center, a pharmacy, a little grocery store, a bank. It’s a beautiful facility, such that you could live inside here for the rest of your life without ever having to go out. It’s a gated community, and there are a lot of security guards. Our apartments have cords. If there’s something wrong, you just pull that cord, and in three minutes, the guards will be here to find out what happened.

I liked Maris Grove. The people there were very nice. The food was wonderful. The units were lovely. I had gone there several times. In fact, I would go back again tomorrow for something. The apartments depended on what you chose. They had a one bedroom or two bedrooms. They had a kitchen, a dining room, living room, and a bedroom or two bedrooms; if it's two bedrooms, they had two baths. They had a swimming pool. They would go on a lot of trips. They had all sorts of activities; you name it, they had it. They had a walking group. They also had a theater. Maris Grove was all connected. It was very large. In fact, it had two buildings.

Maris Grove is newer. It was built around 7 or 8 years ago. They just kept adding buildings and attaching them. I've been here twice, and both times were very nice. They don't have quite as large a facility as the others, but they do have a theater and an indoor pool. They have one or two bedroom units. They have a high down payment in order to get in. They have medical doctors and nurses on the staff. The nurses are on 24 hours a day. They have buses to take you whenever you want to go.

We are in the process of moving my mom in Maris Grove. It is a pretty big and gated community. I am very impressed because when we arrived there, they already knew who we were and gave us directions on how to come in there. We only waited a few minutes before somebody came to show us around. My mom chooses it because it has a washer and drier right in the apartment. It is a one-bedroom apartment, but it is very updated. Everything is nice and new with granite countertops and she loves that. The place is very clean and nice. Everybody is very friendly and the people love the place. The sales people are extremely nice. and they have a lot of activities. Actually, she never has to leave there. They have everything in there like the post office, the banks, the doctors, the pharmacy, there is a movie theater and exercise room. All the meals are in there. From what I understand, each complex have its own dining room. The one we see is very nice, it is like walking into a restaurant. They offer us everything and they think of everything. They have it all.

I liked that there was one entrance in and out of Maris Grove. I liked the apartments, the sizes and the conditions of the apartments. It looked like high-rise apartments. Each building was connected to every other building so you didn't have to go outside at all if you didn't want. I think there were 11 different buildings so it's a pretty big facility. They have like 1100 or 1200 residents. I like that there were a lot of choices for activities. They had a travel club that was really neat. They had just come back from Spain. They were going to the national parks. They seemed to offer activities that other places did not and they offered them more frequently. Even grocery shopping, Maris Grove is a larger facility so it has the option to go several times a day. They have a program that helps to keep them living independently so I really like that. They have an assisted care and the nursing facility. They had their own doctors on staff not with just visiting rights but they had 4 full time doctors there that work for that facility so you can get your care there. It was, by far, the nicest place that we looked at.

Maris Grove wanted $300,000 to $400,000 cash down immediately. They were gorgeous, but I don't know who can afford to do that. Everything was great there. They had full apartments: bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, full kitchens.

I have been to Maris Grove several times. The first time I went there, a friend of mine went with me. Everything was very good. We had lunch there. They had a dining area where you could come down and dine, or you could have it brought to your room. Then I asked my husband to come with me to Maris Grove. When he did, the lady started talking to him and told him that we needed $450,000 to move in, and then we would pay almost $3,000 a month, and that would include one meal. My husband, being such a gentleman, just went along with it. Then he said, "How much does it include?" and she said "One meal," and he said "One meal for $3,000 a month?!" It was way too much, but they had a beautiful layout. They had a walk-in closet, linens in your bedroom, a bath in the hallway, and it was gorgeous. I saw some of the people there, and I said, "I know these people," only to find out they were the doctors' mothers and the lawyers' mothers and fathers. It's for the wealthy. They had a recreation room, a sauna, and a pool. They allowed pets.

I liked Maris Grove very much. The accommodations were spacious and terrific. What I liked the best was the largest one, which was the most expensive one that I couldn't afford. It had two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a dining room, and a family room. I was not sure, but I thought it had two full baths. The people were very nice. I was treated very well by the staff. The food was very good, and the dining room was well appointed. I think they had woodshop, aerobics class, and so many other activities.

The tour we had at Maris Grove was nice but be found that it was not really the right place for my mom. It was a very beautiful place. It was an assisted living and they had all level of cares, which could go up to skilled nursing if needed. I loved it and my mom loved it too. However, it was geared for somebody much more able to handle such a large complex and still be very independent. My mother is pretty independent still, but a smaller place was definitely better for her When we were invited there, we were invited for a lunch and a tour. Maris Grove was very nice and the apartments were beautiful. The staff was very nice. The food was very delicious and they had several restaurants. They had more activities than in the one my mom's in right now. They had huge complex, they had different clubs that people could belong to and the residents themselves run like gardening. They go on trips to various places. My mother had a deposit there for a couple of years. However, when the time came for her to actually move in, we just had to evaluate if it was still the right place for her and my mother wasn't able to handle such a large complex. So, for her simpler is better that's why we choose the place she's now.

Maris Grove was very nice but it was a purchase program where you had to buy the apartment. It was not on lease and you had to put a lot of money on it. The environment was great and it was clean. I would have no problem if the payment was reasonable like a monthly fee. We were well-informed during our visit.

My visit at Maris Grove went very good. The facility was nice, bright and cheerful. It was closer to my son and his family. Also I belonged to an organization and there's a chapter of that at Maris Grove, which would mean I would already have a built-in set of friends there, so that would be a plus. The staff were extremely nice and incredibly helpful. Another plus for this facility was that they would help you move and settle in, at least they advertised that service. The negative aspect of Maris Grove for me was that, though you can get a garage, there was an additional upfront fee for this. Also they only had a few garage available. So depending on where you are, you may have to go quite a distance to get to your car. They say they can assign a parking space outside, but if you're old and it's cold and it's raining and you want to go somewhere in your car, you don't want to have to walk across the parking lot. Another thing was that their grounds looked very institutional and I didn't get that homey feeling with it.

My grandfather always had nice things to say about this place. I know some places are all show and might not follow through on their ads, but this one seemed pretty clean and had a friendly staff. My grandfather used to borrow books from the "library" all the time and would make playful fun of the other "old people" in the room trying to read. I know he enjoyed the events that they had as well, although he thought the food could have been better. His room was spacious and comfortable. He had a large shower with a handle that was also wheelchair accessible, so he didn't have to wait for help unless he wanted it. I was afraid he'd feel stifled in a place like this, but he flourished with the ability to talk and socialize with other people his age. They took good care of him and I know he was happy there.

It's a continuing care non-profit facility. It's close to where I live. The buy-end reverts to the state. The monthly fees are affordable, something they can afford with their pensions and social security, and you're not spending $6,000 for somewhere for them to live. It's something that they can manage right now. They're in their 80s, and it's something that they can afford to do. It also provides for all phases of their life. So if you go on right now, they're going into independent living, but they can get to an assisted living. There's nursing care, there's rehab facility, and there's an Alzheimer's care unit. My mother has Alzheimer's, so this is very important to me. The people that I met are very nice. I haven't met any of the nursing care people. I have yet to deal with them.

There are may positives to the experience. I think the residents, including my parents, seem very happy with the abundance of services there--hobby clubs including a model train club, exercise groups and exercise facilities, art studios, etc. Also, my dad had a heart attack and was able to pull the cord in his bathroom and get help that probably saved his life. They have other safety devices in place for the residents as well which I think are really important. The facilities seem very clean and the grounds are well kept. But there are some negatives. The waitstaff in the dining area are all teenagers and they often don't know what they're doing. The dining halls can become ridiculously crowded and I think the food served there is not always the healthiest, but they might try to mimic the choices older generations are comfortable and familiar with. But on the plus side again, the amenities probably make up for it. There are also doctors on staff and a hair salon, and the residents can walk from building to building in above ground tunnels which is very convenient in bad weather. The apartments are spacious and nice and you can request cleanings when needed.
