"When we had a friend recommend this place for our Mom, we went to check it out for ourselves and get a feel for the people who work there too. The lady we met with who showed us an apartment was super nice and went out of her way to answer all the qu..."
"This is a senior apartment housing complex"”all residents must be 62 or older. It is subsidized housing in a midrise complex that takes up an entire city block. But despite its size, it doesn't feel overwhelming.
Many of the residents are wheelchair..."

It is independent living, with every resident having a private apartment. They are not new, but are cared for appropriately.

"The Landing Alexandria was excellent. It's a fabulous location if you're a younger or more able senior and if you travel because you're right near the airport, and that's one of the reasons why I looked at it. Plus, I have a friend who lives there, a..."
"The Leggett was new. They just opened at that time, and only 5 people were living there. They showed me one apartment, and the layout was nice. They didn't have the gym and the swimming pool built yet. The staff who assisted me during the tour was ve..."
