My relative has moved in. Everything has been great so far. They have helped her move in; they provided the movers to get that done. They have been pretty great about everything so far. The staff is friendly and caring. The apartment is bigger than we expected; it's very accommodating. One thing my relative loves about the place is the variety of food that they're offering. She also likes the movie nights that they have in their small theater there.

I visited. I really liked the fact that it did not look like an institution. I liked the fact that it had anytime dining and liked the availability of everything. The room looked like a regular apartment. It was spacious and extremely clean. The residents seemed very happy.

The facilities were very dark and closed in, and there weren’t as much outdoor areas like garden areas. The person who assisted me was very kind, very welcoming, and forthright, but I just didn’t like the facility.

My father-in-law is living in here. They are an adequate facility for providing meals and a clean and safe environment for him. It is a nice apartment, there are only 62 people living there, and it's two-story. He has made friends, and it is a nice setup. They take him to pick up his pharmaceuticals and for shopping, they have programs and speakers at least one a day everyday, and he orders off of a menu just like a restaurant for his meals.

It was great. It was too small for what I wanted for my father, but I liked it. The people were super nice. The studio apartments that were available did not have kitchenettes. They only had a bedroom and a bathroom.

Everybody is extremely friendly. The ambience is very nice, very clean, very welcoming, and warm. I felt comfortable having my grandfather live in this environment. We are extremely impressed. The rooms are good sized. They look like little apartments. It has a restroom and a living space, big enough to put a bedroom set, about the size of a studio. We were invited to come back and try a meal there; it was a nice meal, and he enjoyed it. They take them on field trips, and they have a shuttle or bus that comes to pick them up and take them to doctor's appointments as necessary or on grocery shopping trips. They have a movie room, a little pub, a library, an outdoor area, and a cafeteria. The staff is just amazing. They truly genuinely want to help us find a good home to place our grandfather in, whether it was them or somewhere else. They weren't pushy.

I almost chose here. It just wasn't geographically as good as the other one. It was clean and friendly. The dining rooms were all wonderful. The grounds were particularly nice. They had a friendly and accommodating staff.

I put my uncle in here. We chose it because they had a room available on the ground floor close to the dining room. The closeness was a consideration. I also like the people. They were above and beyond caring. They were helpful and took a lot of stress off of me. It was definitely the right thing to do. When we went walking through, all the workers seemed to know all the patients and their names, and we have talked to them. Overall, they are terrific.

I visited it because that is the city closest to me. I went and check it out. I loved it. The place is great. I could get back and forth to her more frequently. I had my mind kind of made up with that, but my mom passed away. The staff was great. I actually went there twice because I had to go back about a month later. The surroundings were fine, but I was more in tuned to the inside. The surroundings were nice, and the outside was presentable. It was nice, and it didn't look raggedy or needing care. The rooms are fine. As for activities, everything that she needed and liked was there. I like the activities that they have, I like the rooms, and I like the dining room; there was so much that I just liked everything.
