The Village at Seven Oaks was beautiful. It was a really good facility, but it was just a little higher priced than what we could afford. They have a lot of activities and a salon where they do nails and hair. The staff was very helpful and very nice.

We had lunch at The Village at Seven Oaks, and the food was excellent. The wait staff was really top-notch, but the rooms were very small, and I didn't think my furniture would fit. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable.

We put my friend at The Village at Seven Oaks. The staff has been very helpful, accomodating, and seem very knowledgeable. The eating facilities are wonderful. They take good care of my friend. They have a wonderful dining room with a terrific menu. It is based on a graduated scale in which you pay for however much you need, like you pay an apartment rent and the additional cost is whatever services you need from them. The living quarters go from studio apartments to one-bedrooms. They have people that do different social activities. My friend can be kept very busy.

The visit at The Village was good. The facilities were brand new, but the impression I’m getting is that they don’t really want assisted living people. They want people that are more independent. They have scheduled activities that they don’t follow through on. We tried the food, and it was OK.

The Village at Seven Oaks was very secure, very beautiful, and they're very accepting. It's well taken care of. The staff was knowledgeable and was intimate with the residents there, but the cost was very prohibitive. We looked at both a two-person room and a single-person room and they were very adequate. It would not be fitting for my wife though because she's not able to get out of bed and to get into a transport chair, but both rooms were very good.
They have a nice outside area where they can go in and out very easily, but only into that quad area in the middle. For the size of the facility, the dining area didn't seem very large and they had this room exactly the same size for activities. They're in the process of painting the walls, so they're only using one room right now, but both of them will be available. It's certainly worth the money.
It was all one building with a quad in the middle where you can go all the way around. The residents were encouraged to move around and keep moving. They had a media room with large theater-type chairs and a projector screen to watch movies and music. I didn't see anybody using it at the time, but it looked very nice.

The Village at Seven Oaks was very nice and clean. It just didn't have the warmth. From what I thought, everybody was very nice. They had a lot of activities, but I didn't get to see the schedule. I saw a patient room, the eating area, and the garden. They have a tandem room, where it's divided by two people, and with a bathroom in the middle.

I have to completely disagree with the comment left about activities never being done, my mom is a resident in the Memory Care community and I'm there daily and their activities program is one of the Best. My mom is engaged all day in activities, the staff are so friendly and attentive. If the resident is a wanderer then yes they will wander and that's their right to do so, can't force them to sit and participate but the staff make sure to always engage them. I toured many communities and by far the best. Yes, you may pay but your getting quality care and service. Always 1 bad apple but our family has been NOTHING but HAPPY with the services we are getting for mom. Redonna is always calling and updating and sending photos, the staff go far above and beyond. I'm also a family member that's involved.

We put our mother in this facility thinking it would help keep her busy. The facility has an activities calendar, but I do not think they do what they say. Every time we go to visit our mother, all of the residents are parked in front of the television watching a movie. There are never any activities going on. We buy clothes and belongings for my mother that she wears once and then we never see them again. She has other clothes on every time we see her. This facility also charges for every little thing. We have to pay to have them administer medications, we pay for them to assist her in the shower, and any other extras she does. While I understand that the facility needs to make money, at the rate we pay, you would think there would be more for the residents to do. We have suggested puzzles or an outdoor garden for them, but so far, nothing. If I had a choice, my mother would be with me or my sisters, but for now we have no choice but to pay what they ask. I just wish the residents had more to do to keep them involved. I would not recommend this place as somewhere you want to put your loved one. On the plus side, the food is great and a couple of the staff seem to really like the residents.
