CaraVita Village

I really liked CaraVita Village. I like the staff and the friendliness of it. They have a beautiful swimming pool. They have a chef onsite that does the cooking. I liked the arrangement of the apartments better than others. The only reason I did not like it is because they did not have a walk-in shower in the one-bedroom apartment; it's hard for some seniors to be able to step over into a bathtub. It's very attractive. The staff was very kind.

I've toured CaraVita Village. They were very accommodating, and they were very sweet, nice people. They took me on a tour of the facility. I ate lunch with them, and the lunch was delicious. However, I just decided to find a place of my own where I can cook for myself, and I'm not obligated to eat there every meal. The rooms were painted nice with updated colors. Their countertops were fairly updated, and they had a dishwasher, a refrigerator, and a microwave, so that was good to know.

My mom has moved into CaraVita Village last week. The amenities and the environment were positive. She has stayed there before, so she likes it. The staff members are very helpful. She said the food is OK. Right now, she is going to talk to the chef about other options. She likes the water aerobics, and they have board games. Everything has been very clean and tidy so far.

CaraVita Village was kind of dated inside. I know they're trying to fix it up, but it was showing some wear and tear. The staff seemed very nice. The guy who showed us around was a bit too much of a salesman for my liking. I think he was trying to sell it rather than to show it to us, so I didn't like that. There was a lot of construction going on when we were there that it was kind of hard to get a feel for how it was going to be. The resident's rooms were very large. They were fixing them up, so I think they're going to be pretty nice. It's a very affordable place too. They had a pool in the courtyard, which was nice, a movie theater, and a restaurant type of dining area where you would sit at a table and they brought you a menu. It seemed a pretty clean area as well.

My tour at CaraVita was excellent. The living quarters were much better than the other facility. They were nice, and they were in the process of upgrading a lot of stuff. It would have been my choice if that's where I wanted to live, but I don't want to live in Montgomery. It's better, much nicer, and it seems more secure than the other facility. CaraVita was very nice, the people were very nice, and the accommodations were much nicer. They had a yard you could walk in. It's a little wooded area, but they were upgrading it to where you could have your animal out there for a walk. It's a much better place; it's just in a bad part of town. They have a swimming pool, and I like the layout. You could sit outside and feel safe. If it wasn't so far down in Montgomery, it would have been a consideration for me.

My mom has been staying at CaraVita Village in Alabama for three years now. She really enjoys living there, and she's made a lot of good friends. She wishes they have more fresh vegetables though. She has a nice sized room that is bigger than a typical bedroom, and she has a private bathroom. The staff is lovely, very helpful and very nice. It's a very old building and it could use a little maintenance, but they have people that are working on the building all the time. They're doing the best they can with what they've got. For activities, they haven't been doing a lot this year.

My father moved into CaraVita Village. They've been good. He was quarantined for two weeks. They bring him his meals, they do his laundry once a week, and they clean his room once a week. So far, it seems like they're doing pretty well. They really don't provide a lot of care, so he's pretty much on his own, but they've really been good. The staff is very nice, very professional, and very helpful. He's in a studio and it's very nice, very nicely furnished, very clean, and we were impressed with the condition of the room. So far he's been very happy. It is a very nice place. I would highly recommend it, the cost is very reasonable for what you get, the location is good, easy to get to, and easy to find.

My friend is staying in CaraVita Village. It is fine. It looks like they have done a lot of upgrades, so it is in a very good shape. It is also very clean. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I was there for a meal, and the meal was good. The dining area is very nice and clean. It has a lot of natural light, and it looks out over the pool area. It is a very good setting for the meals.

I was very familiar with CaraVita Village because I was with a group from my church that does concerts there. I also have a good friend that lives there and their prices are quite good. They have just about everything. They have groups that come in, games that you can do, transportation when you need it, wonderful meals, a beauty shop, and trips to the casinos. They serve three meals a day. I was very impressed with the staff, the manager, and the other residents. They were all very positive. They wanted to be sure everybody had what they wanted, and they were very helpful, and very accommodating.

Everybody in CaraVita Village were very friendly and helpful, from the lady that showed us the different facilities that they have available, to the cooking and cleaning staff. We chose this community because of the size of the rooms, the fact that there's somebody on the premises 24 hours a day, and the cost. My father-in-law's apartment is a 2-bedroom, 2 bath, with a mini-kitchen and sitting area. They furnish three meals a day, and they have a bus that takes the residents to their doctor, or to Walmart or the bank once a week. They have several different activities like church, choir, Bingo, art, or water aerobics.

We visited Cara Vita, and we liked it very well. It was real close to assisted-living, but we lived over an hour away from there. The person who assisted us was really good, the dining room was really good, and it was a big place.

CaraVita’s apartments were not nicer, but they did have a full kitchen. What I didn’t like about it was that the residents were living in separate buildings from the main building. If it were dark at night, you will be walking from one building to another in the dark, and it’s not in the best area. They don’t have security guards there all the time. It’s quite large. The tour was not as nice, and the staff didn’t explain things to me because a couple of days later, she called me back, and I didn’t like the location.

This is an excellent home for independent living. It is a large facility, and includes a swimming pool. The staff is very courteous and helpful. When I am ready to make a change this is one of my first considerations.

It was very nice and clean, plenty of help with cna and nurses, lots of people around, very homey, they have lots of different activities, they have outings, My aunt was able to make plenty of friends, there were call lights in the room in case my aunt need to call for help. The food they gave to my aunt in the dining room look very good and I was able to sit and eat with her. I am very happy my aunt is in that assisted living place My aunt needed lots of help before going into the nursing home, she did not want to go into a nursing home but she knew she wanted to go into a assisted living, she is very happy with her chose, I am very happy for her.Like I said the facilty was very clean, staff was very nice and I would invite any family member to that assisted living facilty
