"We toured Bickford of Lincoln and I was impressed. I was just very frustrated that they canceled out on us. It's very little that was included there. It was a nice little two-bedroom. It had a microwave and a small refrigerator, which I would have liked to have there, but otherwise, we had to totally furnish everything including toilet paper, which I had it set up to do. Then they said, "No, he doesn't qualify." The lady I worked with was very nice, just really informative. We kept the conversation during the time of waiting to move in. I just hope I get my money back."

"I chose the Independence House at Northview because of the staff and the size of the facility. It is a smaller home and the staff really impresses me. Since my dad arrived, I have seen marked differences in his ability to walk. I think they have done a better job with nursing and with his medicines, and he seems a little bit mentally sharper, too. They really give personalized care to the residents, they take an interest in them, and they take all the time in the world with them. My dad really seems to be enjoying it. They have arts, games, and some walking exercise. The facility has wide hallways, no stairs, and it is kind of set up in a circle from the dining to the den, then down the halls and to the residents' rooms, and then back to the game room and the dining again. I know my dad enjoys walking, and so it is a nice layout for his walking path."

"We went to Fallbrook Assisted Living and Memory Care quite often, because my next-door neighbor was there. It was a very nice place. The hallways were so long because they had a lot of room and I had a hard time walking down the hallway. She has just a one-bedroom, so she has a bedroom, bath, living room, and kitchen. I guess it's the living room and then the bedroom on one side, the bath on the same side, and the kitchen, right where the living room is. But, it's a newer place, so it's very nice too. The lady at the desk is so friendly when we come in."

"We moved into Oxbow Living Center. The apartments are slightly larger than most of the places we looked at, and I like the people and the environment. The staff is very good. The activities are good, the food is very good, it's nice and clean, and we liked it. We haven't been here long enough to partake in the activities. They have a fitness center, walking club, coffee club, and they really stress getting acquainted with everybody."

"We visited Tabitha Village, it's supposed to be a nice one, but I didn't like it. I didn't like the heat and air conditioning setup, I don't like the wall unit in a hotel, so I didn't like that there for a living place. The girl in charge was very sweet, very helpful, and very nice. We walked through the library, and they had different eating places. They gave us a treat. They had a nice building, it was a new building, and the dining room was very nice."

"My mother is in memory care at GracePointe Assisted Living & Memory Care and she's getting the best care. So far, I've been very impressed with the staff. They all seem very efficient. Everything's going according to plan. Her room is just the right size, not too big, not too small. It has a refrigerator in it along with a sink, and a small kitchenette in her living room, which is also where her bed and everything's at, just kind of like one big room. She has a very large bathroom with a shower for bathing. The bathroom is huge. It's wheelchair accessible. They were large enough to facilitate people in wheelchairs. She's got two really good-sized windows. The memory care is on the second floor and it has a nice glass enclosure dayroom or sunroom where they have different activities. It also has a large eating area and it seems as though it has its own kitchen that serves just the second floor there. My mother isn't very active at the moment. If she was up for more things, they have more things for her to do. It's got a circle drive for loading and unloading. There are two handicapped sections for parking, about six or eight sections for visitors that is close, and an entire lot for parking. On the first floor, they have a library and it has a fireplace for sitting and reading in quiet. You pass it as you're heading toward the elevator. It's a secured building. You have to call to get in. Up on the memory care floor, there are electronic locks on all the doors, so it's secure. They have an activity room and there are some puzzles and different things. The food smelled great, and it tasted good. It seems expensive because we've never had to pay for it before, but it is right in line with the other facilities that we've looked at."

"We like Orchard Park because it's a one-level facility. However, they would not accept my sister because of the two-person transfer. They didn't have that accommodation; they only had the one-person transfer. The staff who gave the tour was very congenial and informative. They showed us the dining room. And I was surprised they had a buffet set-up. From the room and everything we saw, it was clean. What I liked about their room was that the bathroom sizes were big enough that you could go in with a wheelchair and completely turn around and come back out. One of the apartments had a vanity in the room instead of the bathroom. It's a long vanity so it could be used for multiple things besides just the sink. The person that lived in this room made good use of it."

"I went to Gateway Vista. It was a nice size, big. The rooms were huge. Each place had its own bathroom and private bath, and the bathrooms were big. It was just big. Great value for the money. We saw a one-bedroom, which was huge. It was a big place and a lot of different amenities. It has a salon. It was nice. No complaints. No negative. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable."

There are lots of relationships there. It's clean. I've also been talking with their social workers. They tell me it's cleaned up and very nice. They have activities, and they go on outings. So far, so good."

Neat. It has a big courtyard thing, and that was important for my mother. She likes the outdoors. Nice sized bedroom plus living room area."

"We moved to The Legacy because of the amenities, the facilities, and so forth. We feel comfortable here. The staff is excellent. The food is satisfactory. They've got a lot to deal with a lot of different tastes, and they make a very good effort and we're happy with it. There are a lot of programs here, lectures, theater, movies, parties, receptions, events, and so forth. So, we're pretty busy. We have a two bedroom with a kitchen and a balcony."

"I would just like to say that the Waterford at College View North is excellent in my opinion. As a recent resident here, I have had some troubles adjusting to this lifestyle as I am quite young to require such help. I'm only 54 and while driving my semi tractor trailer, I had a very bad disabling accident. My wife was caring for me but cancer and diabetes took her from me quite unexpectedly. This as well as being undiagnosed bi-polar made my adjustment to senior care living quite difficult for me, however with the kind and caring environment and staff here at the Waterford College View North facility, instead of just passing me off to another facility, took the time and loving care to see me through this difficulty. If your searching for a place where your loved ones will be cared for and cared about, then I would most assuredly recommend The Waterford at College View North"

"We toured AVIVA Woodlands. The amenities were huge, with lots of activities going on all the time, and lots of people out in the halls. They do bus tours for the residents and I think that's very positive. My husband is beyond that, but that impressed me. AJ was very, very nice. He has called me 2 or 3 times since to check up to see what they could do for us. Their menus were quite extensive, so that was a positive, too. It's a brand-new, beautiful building."

"My father stayed at Legacy Terrace Retirement Community. It was a beautiful facility. We had no complaints whatsoever. His room was small, but that was really all he needed. I had no complaints with the staff. They were fabulous, very caring, attentive, very patient, and very kind. The food was good. The dining area was beautiful. They had people come in that played music. They had a dog that they brought in for people to pet. They had travelogs, and they had exercise classes."
