I went to West Shores, but they turned it down, because if I would provide 24/7 care, they would take my friend in assisted living, but I could take her home, provide it there, and save on rent. I was very well handled at West Shores, and she gave me a recommendation for a rehab place, which turned out to be plain wonderful. The place was fine, the apartment she was going to have was excellent. There was no problem there, but it didnt work out because theyve done an evaluation and found that shes going to require too much care. They have various social activities. Weve been to some of them over the years, and the food was all very good. The staff members have always been very friendly and very open.

I'm really impressed with Wesh Shores and I may go there. It was all very nice. It's a beautiful location. They have assisted and independent living. The staff members were all friendly, nice, and clean. I saw them helping others that needed assistance. The rooms were very nice. They also have rooms for different games and exercises. We had a night meal, which was a buffet, because it was a special occasion. We also had breakfast. Their food was very good, the services were nice, and they were all polite and nice.

The staff of West Shores is good; they are fine. If I call to give them a message, they do not give it to my brother like they should. His room is clean and big, and they help him with that. He seemed to be happy there. He said the food is good.

I have a one-bedroom apartment at West Shores. Every week, they change the linens, towels, and clean the apartment. Unfortunately, I do not like the Southern food here. They try to bring entertainment once or twice a week. The staff is excellent, especially the lady who cleans my apartment. They try to help as much as they can, and there's somebody to drive you to the doctor.

West Shores was very nice, but they didn’t have memory care, and the cost was too high. The staff was very nice, and everyone smiled at us. It had a nice, large area where people walked freely.

Independent Living Reviews for West Shores

West Shores sounded like you're going to be living in a hotel. Your apartments are inside on different levels. Every apartment has a window, so you get lots of sunrise, and it is in a pretty area. The apartments are smaller than a little house would be, but you don't have to have a big kitchen. They have a small refrigerator and a microwave, so if you want to make snacks or some TV dinners you can have those in your apartment. If you want to go to the doctor's, then you make arrangements for a bus to go. The staff was very pleasant. We ate lunch there, and the food was good. They had a salad bar, too. Everything was all clean and nice.

West Shores was very friendly, clean, and extremely nice. It was a very suitable place to consider. The person who toured us around was extremely nice, very accommodating, and answered all the questions we had. The dining area looked very nice and some of the people who were there looked very happy.

The staff at West Shores was excellent, very friendly, and made sure that I followed everything. We had a delicious lunch and discussed different types of arrangements and rooms. The grounds were very clean, which was so impressive. We toured the game room, and there were people playing cards and sitting around chatting. There was a bus that picked up some people to go somewhere. I felt like I was part of the crowd.
