WellQuest of Elk Grove

We went to look at WellQuest of Elk Grove. The color scheme was very peaceful. The staff members were very nice and helpful. It was the only property that had a pool. It had a chair lift to get you in and out of the pool, which was probably its biggest selling feature. So my mother-in-law had the option of water exercise and stuff like that. To be honest, it was just the whole package. There were so many things for her to do and many places for her to hang out. She didn't have to stay in her room. The apartments were very nice. There were two that we looked at, and the one we put a deposit on had plenty of room for my mother-in-law. There was room for her to have a bed in one room and then her chair in the other room. There were kitchen facilities within the room, like a microwave. She could have a refrigerator where she could bring food to the room if she wanted. She's diabetic, so she eats snacks during the day and has to have food, and that was available for her in the room where she could be comfortable. The fact that there were services each week for laundry or if she needed help getting in and out, there was always somebody there for her. She liked all of that, too. The front is so unappealing because it's right off the freeway, but once you get inside, it's like a whole new site. I would want to live there. It was very easy to get around. We talked to the chef, and we were most interested in the fact that my mother-in-law would be able to get meals for diabetics, be able to kind of customize them a little bit, and have input into what she has. They had no problem sharing things for diabetics and making sure that what she needed was there for her. They had outside activities where they would take you somewhere to do things other than shopping or whatever.

I toured WellQuest of Elk Grove. The person was good and knowledgeable. They had different options. It was nice. They showed us three different apartments. One was a two-bedroom, which was very big, very spacious and nice. Then they showed us a one-bedroom, which was also good. They showed us a one-and-a-half unit, which had more space. They had a refrigerator, a washing machine and a dryer. Everything looked very new and very clean. It looked good. The staff who toured me explained everything.

WellQuest of Elk Grove was clean. It was like a five-star hotel. The staff was great. The tenants are all great. Everything about it was great. They have a beauty shop, a gym, and lounges. They have a class for cooking, bible study, and all kinds of different things. The staff was very personable, informative, and professional. The dining area was very large, adequate in size, and clean. A lot of people were sitting in there, eating, and conversing.

WellQuest of Elk Grove was a nice place. It was brand new, probably no more than two years old, and it had nice things. However, there's not a lot of vegetation around the place. It didn't have a warm fuzzy feeling and it was smaller, but it was affordable. The room options were very good. They were big and spacious. The problem was they were on the third floor and they have this rule that if you are not completely ambulatory, as prescribed by the doctor, then they can't be on the third floor. My mother is ambulatory, but with a walker, so it would be risky putting somebody on the third floor. It was a weird rule.

I liked WellQuest of Elk Grove. The staff was very nice. They offered me a good deal for moving in. The ambiance was nice, and I liked the amount of staff on board. The rooms were very nice. They're more like an apartment, and they have a variety to offer from. I will have a one-bedroom with a one and a half bath. They have a pool that's heated. They do scheduled group activities like water aerobics and such. They also have a lot of other activities scheduled throughout the week that are interesting to me. The interior of the building was attractive as well. In general, it just seemed to be what I needed.

WellQuest of Elk Grove is very nice. They have all levels. They showed me the cottage and we looked at a studio apartment. I met one lady there, and she said it was a very nice place. It was beautiful, well-kept, and very clean. The staff was very nice and very friendly. If the price was a little bit lower, I would be able to afford to go there. But to think about paying $48,000 a year, that's kind of high for me. I can't pay that kind of money. The staff was very nice.
