Cherry Creek Village

The man who's in charge of Cherry Creek Village was the one who got me and talked to me. I had lunch, and it was pleasant. Carol, the lady that I talked to the other day, was there, too. I just liked the people that work there. They were very friendly and I like the atmosphere. The facility was big and pretty. I went to one of the rooms, and it was pleasant. They're very friendly. I like them. It was clean. It was all nice. I like it.

When I toured Cherry Creek Village, the studio room that I saw was very small. But the place was nice and clean. The two staff members that I met were very helpful, very professional, friendly, and courteous, and gave me all the time I needed to look around. They had a little garden area and a patio area, which were very nice and well-maintained. They also had a hairdresser that came on-site once a week.

I'm here at Cherry Creek Village. I love the apartments, and I love the people here. The food is not good though. The staff is very good, extremely nice, and helpful, but they just can't seem to keep enough. Right now, I think it's a hard time for anybody to keep employees. The buildings need improvement. They're old buildings, and there's a lot of issues with them. They need to update their building a lot, and they need more staff to serve the residents. You can go down and play cards. They have a lot of home health people coming in, and they would put on bingo and auctions. Those are all the activities we have, but the brochure says they have a lot. They take a van to Wal-Mart and to the Dollar General stores a couple of times a month, but a lot of people in here have their own cars and just go as they please. We really don't have much socializing. On Thursdays, they will take you to a doctor's appointment if you don't have a car. That's about all. The auctions and the bingo put on by the people in home health are not put by this community. They can't seem to keep a good cook, and the food sometimes is not good at all. The staff is very nice. You couldn't ask for any better staff. It's just not enough. They have to spread the staff so thin trying to do everything, and they need more help. The apartments are nice. The one-bedroom deluxe that we have is a tenure room, and it's nice. They fix it up every time someone moves in. They redo it, so it's always in good shape. There are only two levels, but on each level they have a washer and dryer. I'm pleased with the apartment. They just don't have enough help to cover all of our needs and to serve. They try and work hard, but they need more.

Cherry Creek Village was very pleasant. The staff was very welcoming, thoughtful, and informative. They had a game room, fitness room, onsite barbershop, library, pool, dining hall, laundry on site, activities room, and those sort of things. The activities were a little limited though. They only had a bingo and penny auction, and I didn't see anything else particularly entertaining for them. I would have liked additional activities other than those they offered. They have transportation available though and trips to local stores per month. The rooms were nice. The particular room they showed me had a nice view of the pool area, and I thought it was suitable for my dad; although, he thought it was a little small. The one drawback that really concerned me was, it's not necessarily in the best of neighborhoods. It's not in a bad neighborhood though. Not that I didn't feel safe or anything, but you could tell that that particular neighborhood was a bit run down. I wouldn't want to be there after dark.

The staff at Cherry Creek Village was very kind, very informative, friendly, somebody you would want around if you had a problem or needed something. She seems like she would be right there. The rooms were very nice and spacious. If I was gonna move in there myself, I would like it. it's geared towards helping people who need help. You need to have your own furniture and stuff like that, but it's a safe place to be. You'll be well taken care of. They have a beauty shop and a doctor- on-call. They had everything. It seemed like you would never have to leave to go anywhere. I was very pleased. I would recommend that place.

I thought that Cherry Creek Village was very good. What I saw of the apartments was right on target with the others I have seen. The 1-bedroom was larger than I expected. The room they showed was clean and comfortable. We toured during the middle of the day, there weren't that many people around, only a few. I noticed how friendly they all were, including the person who gave the tour and also the person who lives there that we met. I saw a room where they play cards there occasionally or just set there to talk, but nobody there. The community had the kinds of things that anyone needed to interact with other people. I just wasn't able to see everything about the place.
