Bixby Knolls Tower

Bixby Knolls Towers was nice, but it was too crowded and congested. These are huge towers and a high-rise. It was very nice and clean, but they raise the prices every year, and I don’t like that. I liked that it was very clean and spacious. The staff only showed me a room, and it had a kitchenette, so I was kind of confused if meals were included or not. But I liked how clean it was and how close it was to my house.

I like Bixby Knolls Tower very much. The food is good, and the dining room is really pleasant to eat in. The big lobby area entrance is such a nice feel when you walk in. All the residents are happy; everybody knows each other. There are 160 residents. There is a shuttle that takes them to go shopping and trips.

I found Bixby Knoll Towers for dad which was wonderful; he never liked a place with a lot of people. He started there in August, and he made it through till after the holidays. My perception was that it was very good. I really liked the people who managed it. They had a lot of little activities for him, but he felt very out-of-place; it wasn’t their fault. The lady who was in charge there spent a lot of time in his room, just listening to him talk about how much he missed my mother. They really tried to make him feel at home, but he never did. It was very clean; the food was wonderful. The people were very nice, and the service was very good. For him, it was not a good match, but if it was for another person who was more sociable and more amenable to living in an apartment, I would give it a 5.

I have found a place. It is called Bixby Knolls Towers Retirement. I'm not living there yet, and I have just been over there a few times getting acquainted. It is an extremely friendly place. I chose this place because I like it better. It is very nice. Everybody seems very friendly. Everybody that I saw, met and talked to were great. Everybody that lives there seemed to love it. It just seems the place to go. The price was much more affordable than most of the places I had seen that had the same amenities. I have already committed myself, and I'm renting an apartment there. It is a two-bedroom two-bath apartment with a small kitchen. The rooms are quite spacious for that kind of place. They provide free meals. The food is excellent. I had lunch there, and it was very good. They also have tours and visits to museums for activities.
