It was very nice. They were very informative, and I got a lot of info. They provide just about anything you'd need. They've got a computer room, a library, a beauty shop, meals, and travel assistance. The staff was very nice. I was a little surprised that we did not see any residents. It was noon, so they may have all been at lunch.

It was very nice. The staff was very personable and very nice. The place was not big, but it was clean and very nice. However, my mom didn't qualify. I didn't see the rooms, but the dining area was nice. The place seemed clean.

It was very good. My mom really liked it. We had a very pleasant experience. The staff was very nice, very friendly, and very informative. The accommodations were nice. There were single rooms, which were smaller, but they were nice.

We put my mother in here. It is a very nice facility. They have 24-hour care, which is what my mom needs. The people there really care about the residents of the facility. I think it is great, and mom is doing great. It is a wonderful place. She is in a single room. They provide three meals a day. They have a hair salon. They take care of their nails. They have a fitness facility, exercise room, and a really nice area with a fireplace for the residents to gather. They play various types of games like bingo and scrabble, and they take them on tours. They have transportation to and from medical needs or shopping. Basically, it is everything that she needs. The staff is wonderful. They are very responsive to her needs. They come in a timely manner. They treat her like she is their mom. I am very happy with them.

It was very nice. I’ve been impressed with the staff. Their room is smaller than what we’d like for our people. They have exercise, movies, games; all varied activities.

My mom lived here for about eight months, and they were wonderful. The room that my mom was in was not overly nice, but it served its purpose. We knew that it was going to be temporary and didn't see it as being her permanent resting place. They had seasonal socials, access to a van that would take her out shopping if she wanted to go, bingo, and a variety of activity opportunities for the residents.

I visited twice, and I thought it was marvelous. The whole facility was beautiful, and the staff was wonderful. They had a wide hallway with couches. The meals were fine.

It was very clean and cozy looking inside. They had a fireplace and a little enclave where you could sit with the family. I asked a couple of people there if they liked it, and they said that they really liked it there. The staff was very nice and kind. They showed me all around and showed me the different suites and studios. They looked very nice and clean. They actually had a nurse there that showed us a form to see if I would qualify for aide and attendant -- which was a military pay -- and she went down and asked me a whole bunch of questions. They gave information that they don't have to give me anyway, and that was very nice. They called me and asked me how I was. I hadn't called them back, but they left a message and said "Yeah, we would like to come and see you and see how you are." I thought that was very nice. I would say the rooms were small, but I didn't see the apartments. I believed what I saw was the studio, and they had to share a bathroom. The two studios were very small. Then they showed me one, which had one bathroom that was a little bigger. However, I would have to take the suite or the two-bedroom if I would go in there in a couple of years because I had animals, and they said they accept animals so that made me happy. We didn't have lunch, but they showed us all the dietary plans they had, and they would cook specially for you. The food looked good to me when I walk past them eating. It seemed like the people who lived there seemed to enjoy themselves. They had two dining areas -- one on the first floor and one on the second floor -- and you could go to either one. They were really clean, and that's what I liked with their eating area. They had all kinds of activities. They had bingo, yoga for seniors, and arts & crafts, and they had outings to different churches. I liked the way the place was set-up, and the staff was extremely helpful.

I liked the looks. It is attractive. I thought it was modern and up-to-date. They have an outdoor area. I liked some of the apartments there. It looks like they have quite a few activities. We talked to them, and they showed us a list of their activities. They were good at answering my questions. This facility is newer. One place we went to was really old.

I liked it and it was very nice. The staff was informative; the rooms were nice and lovely. When you walked in it is very impressive, the way it is decorated, the grounds were lovely, and the place seemed secured.

Mom is in memory care. We love it there. Their staff is top notch. We’ve had a great, many experiences. She loves to dance. They have dance music. They have so many things that she is very busy. She has even lost weight because they have such a healthy diet there, and they keep them very active. They have their whole floor. There are 2 people in each apartment. We have a key to her apartment so we can get in. The whole floor is locked with a code, and family members can get the code to get in and out of the whole floor.
