The Citadel Senior Living

Lyle

The Citadel Senior Living was a big facility, things seemed to be spread out, and it didn't appeal to me. It was three stories. I want something smaller and more compact than that place. I looked at both two-bedroom and one-bedroom apartments. It was just big and spread out, the library was down this hallway, and down another hallway, and a different building was the physical therapy, and over there was the dining; it was just something I didn't care for. The staff was nice, I don't have any complaints with her, she was very friendly, and answered questions, and I thought she was honest and frank about the place. We went by the dining room, there was nobody there, and the staff was there taking a break. It was a big dining facility.

I toured here. I'm looking for assisted living, and they seemed a little bit more set up in that direction. Everything I saw there was five stars, the rooms, the personnel, and the facility. They seemed very helpful, and they gave me some information that I'm still following up on as far as financial assistance. I was there for an hour. They had activities ranging from games to movies to exercise. I found those to be quite adequate; I didn't see anything out of place.

We went to The Citadel Senior Living. It was bigger than the other place we saw, we liked the rooms, and they had better amenities. We stood outside but nobody came to help, and I had to look for someone to answer our questions. Their facilities were nice, they had a pool, and a big dining room with good food.

My father arrived here at the end of October 2019. The rooms were clean and the right size for my dad. The interactions with the staff was excellent. Dad liked to go the the dining facility and socialize and liked the music provided. The community offers many activities that many appear to enjoy. The first staff members we met with were Jordan and Shana. Jordan was helpful and showed us around. From the start we knew dad would be happy here. Shana was also helpful and they both made a great team. I cannot go any further without thanking members of the team such as the care Teca gave dad to the friendliness of Nate. There were others in the staff that took great care of dad and I appreciate that care and love that was shown to my dad. Dad loved the names the staff called him. Pops, Papa, and Dad. He loved it. I cannot forget the staff in the dining area. They showed patience and love for dad. Dad told me how he loved it it there. If I did not name you by name, it is because there were so many of you that loved and cared for my dad. I can't express the care and compassion that was given to my dad in his final days. Our family thanks you and appreciates the diffuclt task you face each day while keeping a smile and a positive attitude and never making us feel like we were a burden. In fact you made us feel like family. Thank you.

My tour at The Citadel Senior Living was quite pleasant, the people were very cordial and helpful. They took me to see a model room, it seemed sufficient and I liked about the bathroom was that the bathtubs were easily accessible so they can go in and out without having too much difficulty. The room sizes were big enough for a person, and it was quite clean and nice. Everything about the community was very pleasant. I saw their dining room and their library too, it was quite pleasant.

The Citadel was a little bit older, but I like their setup. I think the staff member was new because the few questions we asked, he didn't really know the answer, but he gave us a good tour and he showed us the rooms. I liked their 1-bedroom. He also told me I had the choice between carpet and non-carpet. The living atmosphere was very easygoing. There were people sitting out in verandas and some were in the lunchroom. He also showed me the recreation area. They had a pool and an exercise area. Overall, the staff was nice and friendly.

The Citadel Senior Living was a nice facility. I mostly talked with the manager, but she was very nice and informative. The room had a small kitchenette. But they wanted the residents to be active and social, and so the people would want to be in the main common areas. The dining area was nice, it looked like it had a normal diner/restaurant environment. They had a crafts area, a church on site which was nice, and a TV room or gameroom.

Sue

I liked it. It was clean, very nice, and friendly. The gentleman who took us on the tour was very knowledgeable, nice, and gave us a lot of ideas. The rooms were clean and small, but then most of the rooms in these areas are small. There was a library, a small gym area, and a pool.

The Citadel Senior Living was fine, but we live in a larger home and the 2-bedroom apartment there was just too cramped for us. They're older and just didn't have any appeal. Also, you have to walk from your apartment all the way down to the dining room, and it was really a hot day when we were there. I knew I wouldn't be able to do that if we lived there. They have buses that take the residents to different place. They have a laundry service, but it's a little bit of a walk for me. I wish it was a little bit closer. The staff member who gave us the tour was fine. They have church services in the little chapel which is something that's helpful to us. We visited with the residents there, and they said they didn't like the food. I don't know why because it didn't look too bad to me.

It was very nice. Everyone was very professional and on time. I had a really good tour of the community and got a great explanation of the amenities. There were two different rooms. They were doing a good job. They had a dining area, workout facility, garden outdoor area, and activities like Bingo and cards. It looked like they had a good offering of food.

I've only been here at Citadel Retirement for two weeks. There's so much to do, you'd go crazy trying to do it all. I'm very happy I moved here and I think it's the perfect thing for me. The staff is very helpful and welcoming. The food is very good and you really get a lot. They have transportation to any medical appointments within a 10 mile radius and they go to just about any store you would want every week.

Pat

My sister is going here and her husband is already there. They're reasonable, and the rooms are great. She is going to be in a one-bedroom. It is spacious, good, and exactly what we were looking for. They have a van that takes them to the bank and the store. They have aerobics, craft classes, pizza nights, barbecue nights, and a lot of activities. They're very open to taking her and have been very friendly.

I liked Citadel Retirement a lot. I liked the meals and the camaraderie. It was very clean. The person that gave me the tour was very knowledgeable. They had different activities like sewing, cooking, cards, and bingo. They had a stage where they do modeling, and they also had music nights.

After 2 trial days, my mom is rather comfortable with the choice of The Citadel.

It has a lot to offer for all ages, and that impressed me. The staff that assisted me was wonderful. She was very informative and friendly. She even called us back the next day. At that time, everybody was busy with games in the game room. There were lots of activities.

We liked it. It’s a very nice place but farther away than my mom wanted to live. The staff was very pleasant and friendly. They offer a lot of activities for the residents. I would rate them highly.

I thought the apartments, staff, and food here were good. They have exercise classes and a swimming pool.

I went to visit Citadel. It was a wonderful experience. It is a perfect place to live. The staff was absolutely wonderful. The apartments were absolutely beautiful. They were spacious. Their dining room was excellent. They have everything there. They're 100% covered on any and all activities. Security was fine.

My mom is here. Our impression is very good. She has moved from independent living to assisted living. She has a studio, and it is spacious. The dining room has a clubhouse feel to it. They have something to do every hour of the day like bingo, exercising, and fieldtrips. It is very safe and secure.

My father moved to The Citadel Retirement. What we like about it is that it is a newer facility, and it had the capability of being independent living now, but assisted living later if it's that what he needs. He liked that his meals are provided, and they are doing his laundry and cleaning his apartment for him, which he enjoys. He likes the activities every day, and he can just show up and get involved with those. They really got a lot of residents engaged because he had gone to several different activities, there are always a lot of people there wanting to do it, so it's fun and he is making a lot of new people that way. There is also an emergency button in his room, and once a day, he has to push the button to let them know that he is up and moving. If he doesn’t push the button, they come up to his room. He also needs to push if he needs help, and he likes that.

We took my parents here. They’re awesome and more than helpful. My parents did eat there; they said the food was very good. The apartments are decent and a nice size.

I met one very friendly person at Citadel Retirement. I like the fact that they had outdoor porches, and the room I saw had a nice storage space on the outside porch area.

We toured The Citadel and we were very impressed. The staff was very amicable and very friendly. They gave me the right information that I needed. We went ahead and took a tour of the independent living. We talked about it, and the staff was very nice and personal. I had a good feeling about it as far as atmosphere. They have a spa, and they transport the residents that need to go to doctor’s appointments. The independent living rooms can have a kitchen with a stove, microwave and refrigerator. They’ve got activities going on all the time. They have specific days every week where they can take people to go to a movie, to a restaurant or go shopping at places like Michael's, Walmart, and Target; so it’s really so nice. It’s a new facility and it’s very spacious. Overall I didn’t see anything negative at all; it was great. It is really close to where my mother is living now, and that’s where she does all of the shopping and hobnobbing around stores and groceries. Everything is right there so she’s familiar with that area.

We were able to visit and this facility is very nice. I think everything is very nice because I don’t remember anything that was negative about it. I can see that there's quite a few activities going on there.

Caring83237950

Citadel Retirement meets my needs; that is why I chose them. It is not independent completely. It is somewhat/ halfway into assisted. My first impression of it was very good. The staff's work ethics are very good. I have a private apartment. It is very good. It fits my needs very well. Regarding food though, I don't have any outstanding comments about that.

Mandy1

Everything is awesome we have no complaints. The staff is excellent and great. They take him to his doctor's appointment and they had a lot of activities

Kathy72604550

It was nice but they only had a third floor apartment available and no washer and dryer in the apartment. The people seemed pretty good. The rooms, the size of the apartments and the location were very nice. They could just add a washer and dryer into their apartment so that the residents don't have so far to go to do their laundry.

My husband's great aunt used to live here. She had her own apartment, and it was clean and organized. She was pretty happy during her stay there.
