We had a lovely tour with The Arboretum Senior Living. We liked that it was bright, clean, and smelled good. The staff seemed engaged with the residents and seemed like they had a lot of really good options for them. They had physical therapy and they allowed hospice in if needed. The room seemed very nice. The one that we were shown that was available would have been very adequate. It was a great-looking facility. They were like doing a singing thing and they were just all very engaged. Avery gave us the tour and pretty much everybody that he passed either waved to him or said hello. So, it's like nobody was hiding anything and nobody was putting on a show. They were all genuinely happy to be there and it seemed like a really pleasant, positive place. Avery would be one of the main reasons we'd want to go there. He was wonderful.

We toured The Arboretum Senior Living. It was very clean. It's an older facility, and so it wasn't quite as bright and well-lit as the other place. There weren't as many big windows that let in the natural light, but the color scheme was very pleasing. The staff who toured us was a very well-informed young man. I think we got more individual information from him than we did from the other place. They allow pets, which was a prerequisite for me to even go look at a place. They provided me with the August activity calendar, and they have everything from card playing to crafts to movies. The whole month was full of activities. I had not planned on getting active because I'm a reader and I like to be by myself, but looking at that activity calendar, there were things there that I thought I would enjoy.

We liked The Arboretum Senior Living. It seemed very nice. The man who showed us around was really helpful. The only thing that we didn't like about it for my dad was that it would require a lot of walking from his room. The hallways are very long, and my dad's not super good at walking. There's nowhere to stop and rest in the hallway. He would have to ride in a wheelchair every time he wanted to go down to eat. And I feel like he's going to just say, "I'm not going to eat that meal." So he's going to skip it because it's too far away. The lobby and the dining room were like a hotel. There was someone playing piano in the lobby, and everybody who lived there seemed happy. They're all sitting around, drinking, or snacking. For other people who don't have a problem with walking, I could see it would be a very nice place. They are redoing some of their rooms. I wasn't pleased with some of the rooms that we saw. There wasn't a lot of counter space in the bathroom. The cabinets and stuff kind of looked older. But the rooms were very big, so that was nice.

Our overall experience with The Arboretum Senior Living was good. The community was good. The staff was excellent. The rooms were good. It was a lovely tour. Their dining area was lovely. They were doing a sing-along when we walked through memory care. They had an outdoor patio and an enclosed deck outside.

My parents just moved into The Arboretum Senior Living. They're in the independent living space. They really liked The Arboretum because it offered the independent, the assisted, and also memory care, which I think is really going to be important, potentially for my dad in the near future. They liked the fact that it's in the same hometown where they've been living for the last 30 years. Avery spoke with me at length for probably an hour before we toured, and has been just wonderful to my mom and dad. They're adjusting OK, but everything is very new for them, but I think Avery and the staff there have been very welcoming and trying to get them set up with their landline and cable and everything, which is a little bit confusing, but hopefully it's all going to work out. My sister and I are very pleased with the service they've gotten so far, and we think it's going to be a really good place for them. It's a slightly older facility than I think they were hoping, but they're OK. Their apartment is spacious. They have a full kitchen and the kitchen and the apartments were remodeled in the last few years. They have a full washer and dryer, and there's a little room even for washing. The only thing is it doesn't have central air-conditioning, and this time of year it's fine, but I think they just have a couple of standalone air-conditioning units in the living room and in the bedroom. Other than that, I think they're very happy. It's a two-bedroom apartment and they feel like it's sufficient for what they need. It has a very small exercise room that my dad says he'll use when the weather is bad, and he can't get to the YMCA, which is what he likes to do. It's not perfect, but it's good enough, and he said he'll definitely use it. They have quite a few programs and activities, although I don't think they've attended any yet because they just moved in, and over the weekend they were just kind of unpacking, but I know they were excited about some of the activities that are offered in the facility. They have different people that come in and do different programs with them. In terms of the size, my mom told me there are 56 residents who are in the independent living space, and about 100 or so that are in assisted living, and maybe another 20 in memory care. The facility is a little bit older and not as up-to-date as some of the other ones that they saw. Otherwise, the niceness and friendliness and everything are definitely very, very nice. They haven't had any meals yet. They haven't gone yet to activities, but in terms of the variety, it's not as good as some of the others, but they're still nice. They're significantly less expensive than some of the other places they looked at, which is partly why they went with them.

I like The Arboretum Senior Living for my sister. I could tell that it was an older building. It needs some more modern updates, but aside from that, it was clean, and it was very inviting and very nice looking inside. The staff was very friendly and actually, a lot of the residents that live there were very friendly also. It was a welcoming environment.

In our communities, seniors do not merely reside. They thrive. That’s because ensuring their good health and helping them stay active and engaged isn’t merely part of a mission statement that hangs on a wall, it’s part of our daily routine.
