"My mother has moved here. They're very friendly, very updated, and seem to have a very caring staff. They have lots of activities. She participated in Bingo, they had an Easter party, they've had some other little socials, and they went shopping yesterday. The food is very good. The staff is very friendly and very professional."

"This place is very quiet. It has a deck and many sitting areas for the residents. Another reason why we chose this place for my mother in law is that it's out in the country. She's used to this lifestyle. Her room is bigger compared to the one she has at home. She has a small table beside her bed, two chairs (one is a rocking chair), her own bathroom, and a nice, small walk in closet. The staff is really nice to her. She actually thinks they are her family. They pay attention to her needs. Since she's diabetic, they make sure her meals are always on time. They give her a small snack whenever she feels weak, they help her prepare for church and get her hair done. They've been great; they keep in touch with us if there are problems. Some activities present in this place are having the residents' nails done, planting flowers and watching TV together. However, it's better if residents have their own TV in their rooms. My mom became healthier after weeks when we brought her to this place. They are really taking good care of her. "

"Dominion of Athens was fairly new, and it's in a country setting. I was accommodated very well. It's a beautiful place with a lake on the property. When you go in, there's a big open room with a fireplace, books, and a library. Everybody we spoke with seemed very accommodating and very friendly. The residents looked well cared for."

"We have chosen Avail Senior Living for my mother-in-law. Their studio room is very spacious, and they provide a small refrigerator and a microwave. It is a newer facility, it's just a year old. It is very bright and airy, and there's a lot of sunlight coming through. They have sunrooms with skylights. They have a nice little courtyard and screened porches. The dining room was nice and spacious. Carrie was the one who gave us a tour of the place. She was great and we even talked to the owner, and they were both accommodating."

"Garden Plaza at Cleveland is excellent in just about every possible way. The staff members are absolutely wonderful, helpful, and nice. It's a beautiful place, all the way from patio homes to assisted living, in their central building. For apartments, they have studio apartments and 2-bedrooms, some with and without balconies. They also have two different kinds of patio homes, traditional, and open floor plans, and both of them are quite nice duplexes. They do all the cleaning and I talked to a number of people there and they're all happy about it. They have transportation and they'll take you anywhere you want to go and they have various activities. We were invited to make one of those elegant desserts and also to an ice cream social."

"This is a small 10 bed facility. The residents seem to be well adjusted, the caregivers are dedicated and care about the residents and facility. The main community living room could use some sprucing up, it seems to be a little cluttered. The facility was clean and well organized. All in all this is a lovely place to live and visit. The staff was caring and compassionate. "

"We visited Legacy Village of Cleveland, which was a very premier facility. We wanted it, but it was out of our budget. I liked the architecture, the layout of the rooms, and the food. The food was excellent. We ate lunch there. The food was very pleasing to the eye and looked like a good variety. The facility was spacious. It is near restaurants, near the interstate, easy to get to, and it is near my home."
