Joshua Arms Senior Residences

I toured Joshua Arms Senior Residences. We met a few staff members. It was actually assisted living, and it was based on an assessment of my mom and what degree of care she would need, so it was all-encompassed in the cost. It felt a little more comfortable in that respect as her needs change. It wouldn't necessarily put us in a bind and increase our prices because they had to attend to her more often as things change. It wasn't as updated, and the location was probably not as accessible as the other place. But at the same time, we liked the area, and my mom felt comfortable right away, so she liked the aspect of it. Their setup was a little different. At this location, pretty much across the board, all apartments were small one-bedrooms. It was nice because it gave you that separation of the living area and the sleeping quarters. The bathroom was nice and large and accessible. The staff were all great, too. I noticed they had a separate activity room for the assisted living individuals and then they had a larger one that encompassed everybody within the entire building. It was nice that if you wanted a little quieter space, then you go to the smaller activity room. And if you want a larger crowd and more interaction, you can go to the larger one. It was nice to have a little bit of a difference there. The grounds were a little bit different in terms of probably getting out, walking, and being outside.

We looked all over town to find a place for my aunt. There are a lot of fancier places (for a lot of money), but none were as friendly as Joshua Arms. Right away, we felt the warmth of residents and staff. This place has a very interesting mix of people and there's always something interesting going on. My aunt has lived there nearly a year and has been a new person. She was depressed when her husband died four years ago. Now, it seems she has a new lease on life. I'd recommend this place.

Joshua Arms serves the great need for affordable housing. But, they also go the distance. The people are friendly. They don't nickle and dime tenants. There is a lot to do and you get a lot for your money. The apartments are spacious and the building is quiet and in a great neighborhood. The folks seem to have a lot of fun and go out a lot.

My mother is in Joshua Arms. We chose it because of the cost. The staff has been wonderful. The rooms are very nice, very convenient for them. She's very, very happy with the food. She is now getting acclimated, so she told me she's been playing bingo and doing some of the crafts that they have there.
