Cambridge Village of Apex

My husband and I attended a special guest dinner in the Fall of 2022. The food was healthy but not particularly well prepared, except for the salmon. We shared a table with a couple who had lived there a year or so and loved it. We met the marketing and activities staff and the chef. They all seemed very nice. They are a rental with services and 3 meals/day. We heard a presentation about their programed activities, many of which are initiated by the residents. They do community service through more than one partnership. The activities seemed to be their strong suit. We were disappointed that they didn't have much area for walking outdoors, just around the building. The 1-BR apartment they showed us was quite small. They do have 2 BR apts. though. The fitness room and pool were beautiful. Everything was clean and well maintained. We didn't get to the point of talking prices, so I couldn't rate value, but I imagine they are in the same range as other places that offer the same services. A few days later, I read their mission online, which is a religious statement. This was a turn off so I talked to my marketing contact and she was lovely about it. She understood and said she had felt the same when she started, but she has not seen the least bit of pressure on anyone, including herself, to conform to any religious belief or practice.

We visited Cambridge Village of Apex, that one was very good. We were very happy that we went in there. The food was wonderful, and my parents liked a lot about it. It was very new and very modern. The layout of the facility made it easy to navigate and get around. It was nice that there was an abundance of parking for those people that had their own vehicle that wanted to get out and venture, but they also offered the ability to transfer. One of the things that was important to my parents was the close proximity of a church, and would they be able to provide transportation. They assured my parents that not only do they have transportation, that they have a lot of residents that go to those churches, and that they could probably carpool with those that still could drive. So, everything that they wanted was met. The apartment was furnished, and it has new appliances, and stainless steel, and everything was good. Some of the places had ovens, and some of them did not. They have room service, and they have a dining room. There were six of us, we had lunch at the facility and Dad was impressed. He's a soup aficionado, and the soup that he had was delicious. I had a Reuben sandwich, and Mom had a salad with chicken. So, we had a variety of different things, and everybody kind of did a quick sampling of the food. It was also freshly prepared, so it was very nice. They have a nice selection on the menu. Although the menu was generic, it had lunch on one side, and dinner on the other, and they change it out periodically, but it has everything. It has a nice view of a lake and some water features from the dining room. It was nice and quiet. I was very happy with the Wi-Fi. It was one of the first things that I need because I want to check the Wi-Fi I as we were walking around, and it was excellent just about everywhere. The person who took us around was knowledgeable, patient, informative, and professional.

I visited Cambridge Village of Apex. I liked their activities, the layout of their building, and the people. The main reason we didn't choose them is that they had a yearly assessment fee (upon signing of the lease), and that's in addition to the cost of living. The staff said that that could be $2000 or it could be $5000. It was very hard to narrow down and we didn't want any kind of surprises like that coming up. If you're going to explain the cost to me, I want to know exactly how much it's going to be. I don't think I want a yearly assessment. The people were nice. The place was nice. They had transportation, activities, an indoor pool, and on-site occupational and physical therapy. Their workout facility rooms were very nice. The rooms were smaller, but they were fine. The kitchen wasn't as large as some of the other kitchens we saw. They should do some updates to their kitchens or their rooms.

Cambridge Village in Apex, North Carolina was very, very nice. In fact, we're going in another week or so for their harvest dinner. The people were very, very pleasant there. The place is very, very nice, so that is definitely on our list. Laura was wonderful. The facility itself was very, very good. Their dining area was beautiful. They have a very nice exercise room, and they have a pool. It was very pleasant. We like all the living facilities. We saw a one-bedroom. Most of the rooms were full, but this one was getting ready for a person coming in. It was very nice. The little kitchen area was very pleasant. You would be taking most of your meals in the dining room. If you want to do breakfast or whatever in your kitchen, it was very conducive to that; it was nice. The menu was wonderful. The menu looked amazing. As a starter, they have Brunswick stew or a Harvest Salad with beets, gorgonzola, cheese, sliced almonds, and pears (Yum!). With the entrée, you could have a choice of prime rib with sweet potato casserole and seasoned sauteed zucchini and squash. You could have lobster and shrimp ravioli (Yum!) with garlic bread; dessert was Bananas Fosters. Holy mackerel! The staff were delightful. The facility was very good. It was very nice and very clean. Everything was up to date. It was very pleasant. It is on our list. We like it.

We will be moving my mother into Cambridge Village of Apex. We took a tour, and it was a nice place. It was well maintained. The rep that I met with was thorough with her tour. She answered all my questions and ended up doing a follow- up tour with her. She was very accommodating, and overall, really pleasant. The place was bigger than some of the other ones that I toured. It's been laid out well, it's got a beautiful scenic view out the backside of the building with a fountain, a pond, and a boardwalk. Everything is essentially central. There are two wings to the facility, but everything kinda meets in the middle for the meals, the activities, and the wellness center. They have some other areas sprinkled throughout the facility to where they can go congregate or socialize, so they don't have to make the trek down to the cafeteria or the dining hall. They have a pool there. The pool had a lift, which was good for my mother in particular because she would need assistance getting in and out of the pool. They have game rooms, craft rooms, and they do a service every Sunday.
