"My mother has moved into The Lakeside Village. It was very good. Her moving-in experience was good. We just decided she needed more activities, and she did not need assisted living and Lakeside Village offered independent living, so that's one of the main reasons for going there. I like their level of care, I like that the people are around and I like the number of activities to do. They have a coffee time; everyone gets together. They have movies, a church service, and Wii games. They have a lot of different activities. Her room is very nice. She has a one-bedroom apartment. The dining area seems very good. The staff seems very nice and very accommodating."

"My husband moved into Manning Senior Living and we're very happy. I felt good when I walked into the door of Manning, I had a good feeling about it. I didn't have a good feeling at the other places I went to. The director is amazing. It's smaller, maybe 30 residents, so I feel like there will be lots of care, and the people that work there are invested in the community, so they're also invested in the clients. I really like it. He's going to be moving to a one-bedroom, but right now he's in a suite or a studio. We're moving him soon, we just need to put the furniture together. They have bingo, crafts, movie days, ice cream socials, cards, and puzzles. They also have a library, an exercise place, and somewhere they can take a walk."
