Golden Pond Retirement Community

Yesterday, we visited Golden Pond Retirement Community. It is multi-level. I believe they have independent living, assisted living, and memory care. There are two facilities. One runs into another in the hallway, but they are separate as far as assisted living and independent living. I loved the two-bedroom suite. It had two bathrooms, two bedrooms and a living room, and a full kitchen. It was awesome. There's a dining room. And the way they're pricing is because it has the full cooking facilities in each unit, you can opt to rent the space without a meal plan included, or you can pay for meals on an as-needed basis. So that was nice. It was a very new facility. It looks gorgeous. It had a lot of existing large trees and established landscaping. It was beautiful inside and out. The residents were adorable, friendly, and welcoming. It was lunchtime and it smelled delicious. The outside areas included fountains, and ponds, for sitting and enjoying the outdoors. They had a little movie theater, and the staff were all very friendly. They are remodeling the independent care unit. The one we viewed was the only one so far that's been remodeled, and it was beautiful. The one downfall we're finding, my husband is a double amputee and uses a wheelchair in the mornings and evenings, but especially in the morning, getting ready and shaving and showering and all that. The bathrooms technically were probably wheelchair accessible. But here at home, when we had this bathroom built, we had a roll under the sink to where my husband can stay in his wheelchair and roll right up to the sink and shave, and then take care of his morning needs. So far, we haven't found a place that would accommodate that part of his routine.

Golden Pond always puts the welfare of their residents first. The GP response to the COVID-19 outbreak has been exemplary, with excellent communication to families. The caregivers have made my mother’s experience much brighter, even in these times.

Angela and the entire staff took were wonderful to our father, getting him situated and then taking great care. He had a newly remodeled room and it was done very tastefully. He enjoyed the staff and residents.

My mother moved into Golden Pond Retirement Center. It's nicely appointed and has friendly staff. Her room was recently renovated. The activities are pretty standard and include exercises and happy hours. Pets can be brought in but cannot stay there. The staff has been very helpful, and the food is good. Mother is happy, and she loves the Friday happy hour from 4-5 pm where entertainment comes.

I visited Golden Pond, it's really nice. It's probably the best place out there. The people were accommodating, they had lunch for us, and it was nice. My mom loved it, but my dad refused to live in an assisted living environment. The rooms were a nice size, but it didn't have a walkout to your own balcony.

Golden Pond was beautiful. It was like going to The Broadmoor. It's gorgeous. It was just beyond our means. They had nice people and nice facility. We didn't get to see the rooms, but it was a lovely tour. They had lovely people. If I win the lottery, that's where I want to go. We entered the lobby and one of their staff gave us a brief tour.
