We toured Camellia at Deerwood. I brought with me a friend who used to run a memory care facility. The first thing was we pulled up, got out of the car and there were four people outside sitting out, and they were all friendly, and said "Hello, hello," "Are you visiting someone here?" and we said no, we're visiting to see the place and they said, "Oh, it's wonderful" and one of them was a caregiver and she had been there for six years. We talked to all four of them and they all loved it there. We went inside. We met the salesperson, Victoria, and she has been there for eight years. Everybody was so friendly. The place was very nice. Everybody was waving at us saying hi. It was amazing. We sat down for lunch and they have a menu that offers standard things and then they have other things that you can order that aren't such a big meal. We had a wonderful lunch. It was very good. We met the chef. He came out and talked to us and I talked to him about my needs for my diet and my husband who is diabetic. It was a very pleasant experience. We went and looked at the apartments. The ones we looked at had two closets and we looked at two-bedroom, two-bathroom places. They had two closets in each bedroom, so there was a lot of storage space. They also had a kitchen which wasn't important to me but that is extra storage space. We liked it. We saw their refrigerator where you can get food at any time of the day. You can get yogurt and various things that they have in there. I was impressed and so was my friend. She said this is a very nice place. It was clean. It wasn't brand new. There was some age on it. The outside of it was beautiful. They had a lovely pool and we met the person who does the exercises there. It was a wonderful experience. It was expensive. For the two-bedroom, two-bath, it was like $7000 a month. The staff was wonderful. It was very impressive. The food was excellent. They had ice cream for dessert which was so good. It was nothing you buy at your local grocery store. You aren't forced to eat anything. They have a regular menu and a little menu. You get two menus to choose from.

My mother, sister, daughter, and I recently visited Camellia at Deerwood looking for a future Independent Senior Living Community for Mom. We were greeted by Suzanne, who took us on a tour and was gracious enough to arrange dinner for all of us. The food was delicious, with several entrees to choose from. As we toured, various residents said, "Hello", and there were many cozy areas, which residents were taking advantage of, for Seniors to hang out, play games, or entertain. We viewed a one bedroom, which was spacious, included a full kitchen, a security system, and a screened in balcony with a gorgeous view of the lake. Camellia has a variety of exercise programs, excursions, & activities to accommodate many interests. There's a weekly Happy Hour with music and dancing! They even have a heated pool, a theater room, a library/game room, salon, and a cafe where you can access food in the wee hours of the night! My family and I were very impressed with the facility, but most of all, Mom has her eyes on a lakefront View!

Camellia at Deerwood is great. Mom loves it. It's friendly and organized. We chose it mainly due to the proximity to my home. They also have good activities. I like that they have a town car and that they can take people to their doctor's appointments, to the store, or outings. They have good food. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. The hallway rugs need to be replaced though. They're very dirty.

If you got the money, Camellia at Deerwood is the place for you. That's the only one I've seen that's got a pool. They got a lady that leads pool aerobics, and got a much better gym than the rest of them. It's $700 a month more than the other facilities I looked at, but I'm going to figure out how to get that one. It's beautiful, and the people were very, very nice. In fact, they asked me if I could come back on Wednesday because they'll have a happy hour and entertainment. They said everybody gets up and dances. The place was immaculate too.

The staff at Camellia At Deerwood was very well informed. They passed out the information in a way that helped me understand and appreciate. They took time to show me several apartments. The best part of it is that it is within walking distance to my oldest son. They have different sizes, and I saw a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom. They do both independent and assisted living. We looked at different places. They had libraries, a room for card playing, a saltwater pool, and a parking area outdoors.

Camellia at Deerwood has assisted living and independent living. The staff members were very friendly, outgoing, and not pushy at all. We saw the menu, but because of COVID we couldn't eat there. The facility appeared to be well maintained. They were in the process of upgrading some stuff in the next year. It was nice. It wasn't overly extravagant, which was good because my mother doesn't like overly extravagant things.

I went to Camellia at Deerwood. I think they're probably my favorite. If they had a washer and dryer in the unit, I would probably go with that one for sure. The rooms were nice and well-maintained. They had swimming, theater rooms, library, and dances. It's like resort living. The staff was lovely.
