Mayflower Gardens

We moved into Mayflower Gardens. I like everything. It is like a park with apartments. It is very comfortable and quiet. It has a lot of amenities that seniors need, like a swimming pool, an exercise area, and a beauty salon. Everything is free. It's an excellent place to live. The staff members are excellent. We cook our own food. We have a restaurant too. We have exercise, a dancing area, and swimming pool lessons. You can walk everywhere. It is safe, which is very important for seniors.

What I liked best about Mayflower Gardens was the independent living environment. It's more like duplexes. So, they have a garden space right outside their front door. Also the cost. It's not as expensive, and the facility seemed nice. Maybe the location is away from shopping centers, but they have a bus, just like the other places, that take them.

I moved here because of all the activities and amenities they had now they have taken bingo away completely and closed the thrift store. It's like they just want us to sit in our apartments and grow old. Don't move here there's nothing enjoyable to do here anymore.

I went to Mayflower Gardens. They were more like triplexes, so they were one-story and with lots of ground space in between the triplexes. It was very open. It was very clean. They had activities outside and inside because there is so much ground in-between. I think they might have the biggest square footage of the senior citizen living. Everyone was pleasant. I was really happy about that. I went there already three times, and they were very much in order. Even though I keep going back and forth, they still will give me a tour and still let me go in one of the model places. They really went beyond their duties. The meals are always available three times a day, but I think you have to pay. They said that it was very affordable.

My husband is in Mayflower Gardens right now. It's independent living, and they have a lot of activities. They have a restaurant on-site, a market, and a beauty shop. They have recreational activities, bingo, dances, and church services. They have a lot of other extracurricular activities. They have a van, and they take people shopping and go on little trips. My husband doesn't do any of these things, but I know that they do them there. The apartments are nice there. He's in a single room with a kitchen and a bathroom. He's happy with it. The community is kind of out on the outskirts of town, but it's very private and quiet. It's quite a large community, actually, with lots of trees and places to park your car. They pay for water and trash, I believe, but he has to pay for his own washing of clothes. He has to pay for his own Wi-Fi and utilities too because they don't pay for those. They watch out for each other there, which is nice. The staff is also very kind and very nice. They call if they haven't seen him or they'll call the emergency contact which is very nice. They take care of the facility well.
