"The apartment they showed me at River Terrace Retirement Community was a very nice one. The kitchen was not very big but then I didn't need that big of a kitchen. It had one bedroom, a walk-in shower, and a bathroom. The living room and the bedroom were both a nice size. I didn't talk to many of the staff, but the manager was very nice and very helpful. The housekeeper was running around there doing things, and there was a young man that I'm assuming was part of maintenance. The place looked like it was in great condition and was being cared for."

"My mother is living in a one bedroom apartment in the assisted living wing. There is ample space, a washer and dryer, and she loves the spacious shower. She enjoys sitting in front of the fireplace and visiting with other residents. The staff members are professional as well as warm and caring. Various activities are offered to meet the interests of different individuals. "

"My mom liked Coventry Meadows Assisted Living and Garden Homes. It was a smaller community and it had nice grounds. They had a lot of the same type of amenities like movie night set up in the theater with popcorn machines and different activities. It appeared to be very clean and well-kept. They had set times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So, you had to fall into their schedule as far as your meals were concerned. They had studio apartments. They all had a microwave and a hotel-style refrigerator in them. The staff that was taking us around on the tour was very polite and very knowledgeable. I saw a couple of other staff members in the hallways as we were taking our tours and they were polite. They acknowledged us and said hello to us."

"We went to Coventry Meadows and met with a woman in the office who gave us a tour. She sat down and talked to us. She was very friendly and did a good job explaining things about a lot of different aspects, from a waiting list to what kind of amenities they offer. They have shuttle buses that take you for no charge to doctor's appointments and even have occasional community activities that they take people to. They don't have to worry about driving and finding a place to park and they try to use that also for some entertainment. She talked about how close a lot of the people are living in those independent apartments. They're almost like small condos, but they have a really strong community and everybody kind of keeps an eye on each other and a lot of times they get together to play cards or something. It just sounded very appealing in terms of having some companionship as well as a scaled-down place to live and some protections. If anything happened, my husband could just buzz the necklace and some of the staff that would be close by would come over and check on him. So, I had a very positive impression. It was a pretty small place. We live in a four-story home, so anything is going to look small to us, but it was laid out nicely and we could imagine ourselves there. They had a lovely sunroom that looked out over a big marsh that is behind the facility (Eagle Marsh), and there was a lot of local wildlife. It's a very pretty setting. So, that's a nice aspect of it, too."

"We went to Kingston Residence of Fort Wayne. I really liked the fact that, even if my dad were to need nursing care, he would still be in the same apartment as my mom. That was really great. The staff was extremely informative. The representative who we talked to gave us a tour of the entire place, gave us lots of information, and was willing to help us with the VA benefits that my dad would get. The representative even told us that we could stay there for lunch and see what the food was like. We didn’t eat there, but we saw the food coming out of the kitchen. The portions were big, and the food looked really good. The people who we talked to said that the food was very good. As we were touring, we saw several nursing areas throughout the nursing home in which the workers were playing games with the residents. It was like the workers were everywhere. The place had a big calendar to show the residents when and where the shopping days would be. They also had services that would take my parents to the doctor and back. They had emergency care as well. "

"Our overall experience with Five Star Residences of Fort Wayne has been excellent. We chose to move Mom there, because this was in an area that she was already familiar with, and there were a couple of people there that she already knew. So, that was beneficial. Her living arrangement is a one-bedroom apartment inside of a building, so it's very nice. There's plenty of private living space and storage. It has a very small kitchenette area with a refrigerator and a microwave, which is already enough since it's a full dining service. The location of the dining room and the sites where entertainment happens are very convenient. They have a garden club, a nice movie room, a calendar full of activities that includes card playing and entertainers that come in, like local musicians. They have a lot going on and they have a shuttle that takes them to a few stores weekly if you choose to. She seems to like the food, too."

"I found Silver Birch of Fort Wayne for my mother. I visited the place. It was great and the visit was very helpful and informative. It's a very clean facility and welcoming. I was just really happy that there is a place that has more or less apartments for people who have special needs. It has more of a focus on individual care."

"Mom moved into the Wyndmoor Marion. It was very clean, the people that worked there are awesome, very friendly, and willing to help you do anything. She's quarantined right now, but when we moved her in, the food smelled and looked delicious. She ate it all, and it's a lot more than she gets. She has a 1-bedroom, it's very homey, and she loves it."

"My mother was in Lutheran Homes for rehab. She was there for 3 weeks, and it's extremely positive. They had private rooms, the food was cooked from scratch, and the meals were very well planned. The health care is great there, and there's a waiting list all the time to get in there. They pay attention to detail, it's very clean, very friendly, and the food is great. She had physical therapy and nursing care. She had a large, private room, like 2 rooms plus the bath. There was an area for company, TV, table next to the bed, there was a couch and a chair for both the staff and the residents. You won't be stuck in the bed all day. Lutheran is well known in the community for years. It's very clean."

"My mom is at Marion Rehab. The place is clean, and she enjoys with the people that she is living there with. Their meals are good, and they do have activities that she participates in. Overall, it’s all positive. "

"We toured The Village at Anthony Boulevard. It was very clean, and the staff was very nice, helpful, informative, and answered all our questions. They gave us a tour of the place. The people there seemed happy, they were dancing in their little community room. It's a very nice place. I haven't tried their meals but the cafeteria looked very nice and very large. The tour was good."

"Excellent. Very caring. Very good social service people. They make things happen. Very professional. Great food. Overall rating excellent. Keep up the good work. Thanks!"

"When it came time for mom to enter an assisted living facility, I chose Colonial Oaks Retirement Community. I will forever be glad that I did. Mom entered the facility at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. I live 400 miles away. I was never worried about her. The staff was friendly, caring, helpful, attentive, and responsive to my requests. They treated mother as if she was their own mom. Mom received excellent care for the two years she was there. I have no hesitation in recommending Colonial Oaks."
