Village Hemet

I toured The Village, and it was very impressive. It has a fantastic restaurant and it also had other options for dining. It has fairly spacious apartments, too. But the locale is not ideal; it's not a good environment. I'm looking for more like a villa rather than an apartment. I was interested in the continuing care situation and that's what the village offers. The staff was very helpful, very professional, very upbeat, and very welcoming. The food is amazing. It was a five, and if there was a higher number than five, I would give them that. It was just the best kind of five-star restaurant you could dine in. They have every kind of activity that you could be looking for as a retired person. They do day trips, and they have a movie theater. It was ideal; except I don't want to be in an apartment, and I did not like the city it was located in.

The Village Retirement Community is on the corner of Acacia and Kirby. It's huge, it's on 13 acres of land. I saw the independent living, and I think the place looked nice. I think it's a great place for people who are retired, and it's a lot cheaper there than San Diego. During the tour, they put me in a group and fed me lunch. The other places mentioned lunch, but nobody offered anything. It's very fancy, very well put on, and the food is good. The staff was also very professional and very caring. The place looks very good. Of course, they show you the perfect stuff, but it just looks like the whole place, even sitting on 13 acres, looks like they do take care of everything. It had a lot of vacant land around it, but of course, as the years go on, it will build up and the traffic is going to pick up in that area. It's a good location. You can actually walk to town from there.

My dad went to The Village Hemet for assisted living. It was a really nice place and he was there for about 10 months. The nurses were there, and they were on top of medications. The residents weren't as active. They tried to do activities. They would wheel my dad down for singing groups and for Valentine cupcakes but when you're confined in a wheelchair and more immobile, it is harder to get someone to participate. They had in-house beauty shop. They had very good foods and my dad liked it. It was a really nice place. They had very caring staff. Their rooms were studio rooms that had separate bathrooms. The rooms were bigger. My dad had a room to put a recliner and a table. He had a television, a small table, and a chair to sit down to if he has company. It was nice and the price was comparable to others.

We like the Village Hemet. We have a friend who has lived there for several years, so we had some knowledge about the place before we even went there. They fed us a buffet lunch, and the food was good. Everything was good. The grounds are gated and well-kept. Our friend loves it, and she is very happy with living there. It is 5-star, no question about it. First-class, but you got to have some money.

We looked at the assisted living part of the Village Hemet, which had more of a hospital type of setting and was very pricey. It was not homey at all. It looked like a hospital, and the rooms looked like hospital rooms. It was kind of a big turn off. You would not want to put your loved ones in a place like that because they would knew that the end was near, and they did not have to be reminded of it every day by their surroundings.

Village Hemet is the nicest one in the area. It's more high class. They have different programs where you buy your own condo and as you need assistance, they can provide it. When you need continual care, you move in to the main building, and they sell your condo for you and that money goes toward your account while you're in more care. The food is not gourmet level, but definitely better than food at a school cafeteria. They offer everything that you would need, like a library, beauty salon, barber shop, snack bar, and little coffee shops. It's more corporate owned.
