My step-father moved into Camlu Assisted Living several weeks ago, and our experience has been excellent. The staff seems to be very helpful and compassionate and their accommodations are very acceptable. He came from a very luxurious assisted living and this place is not like that. But the price is right, it's clean, and well-maintained. It's 40 years old so you can't expect it to look like a brand-new community. I had lunch there and it was fine, the dining facility was clean, well-lit and there were lots of windows. There were three choices for lunch, and they were all good choices. If finances are an issue, Camlu is a very good place for the price. My stepfather is paying $3,900 at his previous community and only $2,200 here. And the only difference between the 2 is the upscaleness of the place, but he is perfectly comfortable here and the staff met his needs. Their activities also appears to be fine.

I like Camlu Assisted Living. It was nice. The apartments were decent. The staff member who accommodated me was nice and very helpful. Everybody looked happy. They recently had root beer float night, poker night, and they play bingo. It looked fun.

Camlu Assisted Living is fine for my brother. I think it's great and they help him out a lot. It's as good as the place where he comes from, and it's less money too. The staff is fine. Everything's fine and the whole place is great. The rooms are nice and big. My brother has a good-sized room and it has everything he needs. There are a lot of activities and he got a good deal.

Camlu Assisted Living is actually really good. When we went there it was clean, and I like that there were a lot of activities going on. The food that they were having for dinner was phenomenal. The staff was incredibly helpful, and there was a good staff to patient ratio. What I liked the most was seeing people happy. They were talking at each other, and not just sitting around staring at the walls. It was a really positive place, and my grandpa loves it there. My dad is technically living kind of independently because his needs are limited, but if he needs more assistance he can have it. They have a beauty shop, an activity area, bus rides to restaurants a couple times a week, and trips once a month to the casino. They also have transportation to the doctors, or to the store, and there are lots of people are coming in and out all the time.

Camlu was pretty good. It looked like a very friendly place; it was well organized and fairly large. It looked like it was well run. The dining room was very nice, and the living area was OK. They have two people in a room. They had some activities, but I could not recall what they were. I saw the menu, and the menu looked good for the elderly.

Volunteered here and everyone is very friendly, from the nurses to the seniors living there. Just wonderful.

This is a horrible place. The building is old and everywhere inside smells old as well. The patient coordinator (Indian) and esp the receptionists are very rude. They are short of staff, esp caregivers. Not a very nice place to retire.

The people were very friendly at Camlu Assisted Living, but the residents were a little older. It had more of a convalescent-type feeling rather than a retirement home. It just didn’t meet my needs. It was an OK place. The rooms were pleasant and attractive. The ones that I could afford were semi-private. The set up was OK, but I didn’t want to share with a roommate. The private studio apartments were more than what I could afford, though.

I was able to interact with the staff and also the clients at Camlu Assisted Living. I was given accessibility to just about everything around there. I really liked the place. I really adored the dining area. It was more like a restaurant setting with the tablecloths and China. It was more like living in a hotel. They didn't have a pool, but they did have a library, a salon, and a nice garden area where you can go out and walk. They had elevator access and availability of transportation back and forth. The activity calendar was very well kept up and very full.

Camlu was very nice but too expensive for my ex-husband. He doesn't want to communicate with other people and go to the dining room, so he would not have fit in there. It's very clean and all of the clients were just so nice. The facilities were clean. It was nice. The clients said that they wanted a bigger patio area, so they built them a bigger patio area. They had a big-screen TV in a TV room, a library, and a bus that took them places.

My daughter in-law picked Camlu for my sister. Price is reasonable and food is good. My sister is very happy there and loves the place. I don't have many things to say but I have never seen my sister happier since she moved in this facility and this is what matters the most.
