I visited this facility

I visited this facility. I really liked the activities that you could get involved in, and we did sample the food there, and it was excellent. They had a menu, so you could choose what you wanted. The apartment that we looked at was on the second floor. It overlooked the pool. It was really a nice view, but you didn't have access to the outside area without going through the hallways, and I thought they were confusing. There were a lot of hallways. The staff was excellent. They had planned the tour so well for visitors. The food was very good. It was very clean, but the rooms were smaller, and the bathroom was really small. It was once an old hotel, so the rooms were that kind of a size. The atmosphere was very welcoming. I thought the staff did an excellent job of touring us around and giving us a good feel for the building.

We went here. They made the living room tiny. They made the two bedrooms huge. They made the closet space bigger than the living room. And where do you spend your time? In the closet? They even made a trip to us at our house and brought us lunch. So, why did they do that? They were doing a good thing. If you were a single person, maybe you would be happy to be cozy. But we needed more space. The people were very nice. Like we had someone come to pick us up and bring us home again. But as soon as we saw the space we would have available, we felt it was too small.

The part that I liked the most about it is their customer service. The staff is helpful, they're always ready to help you, and they would cater to my needs. They were not pushy at all. They have a library and fireplaces there too.

My mom was here. The apartment was a decent size, and she had a patio that looked out into a pool. The people I met were nice. She complained about the food there a little bit, but not that much. I saw the lunchroom, and she had a nice apartment. She had a nurse come and give her her medications and things like that. She was involved in the exercise class. They had an outdoor pool that they could use, and there was an atrium where they could walk in.

We ended up going with this facility for my uncle. The people that we've been working with have been very good. The dining room is really big. They're in a two-bedroom apartment, and it's really nice. They have their own bathroom. The activities are limited because of COVID. It's the most affordable.

My mom has been staying here in independent living for three weeks now. Our experience has been fantastic and we love it. Everyone is very nice. The living atmosphere is very good. There are three floors and they have apartments. My mom's two-bedroom is nice, big, clean, and has a full kitchen and brand new carpets. It has a fitness center, pool, and activities. They have three meals a day and all-day dining.

It is a good facility of independent/assisted living. I have a one-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette, a bathroom that is catered to people who have some disabilities, and a living room. The staff is good. They have games and provide transportation if you want to see a doctor or go on outings, like to the casino. Everything is good. There are a lot of activities. There are a lot of people in their 90s and late 80s. They would be escorted from their bedroom to the dining room. There are some individuals who have health issues and their medication is being delivered to them by the nurse. A lot of them are in walkers. I go to bingo twice a week. It's very affordable.

I've lived here for almost a year now in a very comfortable room and have been very pleased and happy without any complaints. It is great and everything is fine. They take very good care of us. The meals are good. I just had my room cleaned today, and they give you a lot of clean linens. We have transportation. It is good for a person like myself because I feel very safe here. I would recommend it to anyone who is alone because it is a great place.

My dad has moved into this facility. It is a very nice facility. The staff is friendly. The rooms are of a good size. They’re probably 700-square feet for a one-bedroom. The food is good. Of the ones that we looked at, it is probably of good value.

We’re impressed with it. Everybody seemed pleasant and friendly, but, obviously, they’re trying to impress you, too. The rooms were nice. My in-laws thought there were on the small side, but that’s because they’re used to living in a house. I didn’t see anything that we were unhappy about with this community. It looked like a pleasant place and people seemed friendly. It was good.

I liked the physical setup of the apartment they showed me. It felt uniquely adaptable to my needs. I cut gems, which involves having some equipment, and they had a space where that would fit. The staff was friendly and helpful, but not remarkably better or worse than the staff at the other places I visited.

I visited this facility

I only went to this facility. What I liked about it was the people and the staff. They were just very friendly and gave me the information that I needed. The room that I was shown was very nice. There was plenty of room, and it was quite modern. The room looked new. In general, the building was very old, and the main gathering areas were very dated -- very dark and dated, with heavy dark curtains, a really old-fashioned rug that was a dark color, and old furniture. So for me it was depressing. It has good reviews as far as care and all that, but for my purposes and for my mom, I wouldn't take her there.

It had a swimming pool and enclosed courtyard. It had facilities that were just calming, fresh, clean, and it smelled good. The dining room was nice, and they were willing to customise the rooms if that was what needed to happen. The staff was wonderful.

There was less staff here than at the other facility. They seemed nice and helpful though. The rooms were down the long hall and they weren't custom. They were pretty apartment-style rooms down the long hallway. Their dining room was a typical dining room. It was in a large area. It looked clean and presentable. Activities looked like more of social activities, where they have happy hour and a larger group gathering. However, it was a very large facility. If people were looking for a large place, I would recommend this one.

My aunt is very happy here. I'm very happy with the staff. There was only one incident when she fell and one of the nurses didn't respond very quickly. I wasn't happy with that. But other than that, it's been very good. She got a deal by having one of the rooms that wasn't updated, but it's working out very well. The closet space in particular is excellent. So it's worked out pretty well. The bedroom is good size, the living room is fairly small, but it's big enough for what she need. For the most part, the food is pretty good. I've eaten there 2 or 3 times and it's been good most of the time. They do outings to restaurants, they have entertainment come in played often, which she really enjoys. They had belly dancers and I actually went to that with her and she really liked that. I think they have a good selection of things offered. I like the people. The employees know everybody by name. If they're walking down the hall they make sure to say hello. They're very friendly.

I visited this facility

I knew somebody who lived here. She so enjoyed it and I would go visit her and she would show me around. The thing that was nice about this is that the people who work there are very accessible to the people that live there. I think that it has adequate staff. They would take them to a show or going to the shopping mall. My friend didn't go on trips but she would go out in the garden and she’d walk around the place and visit. It was nice. Whoever designed the rooms was really brilliant because he made the smallest one the same size as the other studios are but he still divided them into living room versus bedroom. It’s a small living room and it’s a small bedroom but at least they’re divided so that no one feels like they’re walking into a hotel room.

It was very good. We made an appointment with them and somebody was available to take us around. The outdoor space was excellent. It was protected from the wind and somewhat semi-enclosed. It was a very nice open environment. The facilities there were very good. We looked at their lunch room and their gathering facilities. They showed us their courtyard and swimming pool. They also showed us different types of room. They have studio and one-bedroom apartments. The staff was very nice. They were really good and seemed very knowledgeable. They seemed to have a good rapport with the residents there. They invited us to stay for lunch to try out the food. We didn't eat there but the food looked good. They even have a separate area for wine and beer, which was really nice. Regarding activities, they showed us their schedule and took us to different types of activities they offer. They told us about their transportation service. We really like it. We just think that that place would have made a good retirement community for my wife's father.

It was very nice, but the rooms were very small. It's very nicely done, but much smaller than any I've seen before. The place itself is nice and it's only around the corner for me.

The people here are very friendly and they are nice. My mom's room is very nice and it's big enough for her. They have it cleaned once a week. They get three meals a day and the food is good. They have a ton of activities. They have buses that take the residents out to shopping, to the restaurants, and to doctor's appointments. Mom is very comfortable and she is happy there.

My mom resides here. Everybody there had been very wonderful and helpful and so far it is a very great experience. They check on them and make sure that they meet people and get involved. I feel good that they are encouraging her to get involved in everything. They had activities like crafts, they have group singing, they have groups that come to speak and they have beach walk and they have trips to the casino and she plays the piano a few times. She is in a two-bedroom apartment. It is very spacious. Their food is very good.
