Geer Village

Geer Village was beautiful. It's very well kept and very clean. The staff was very gracious. The lady who provided the tour was a lovely person and not too aggressive. She just told us everything we had to know. She was great. The apartment was very, very spacious. The independent living has got anything you could possibly need like there's the stove, a refrigerator, a microwave, and walk-in closets. It's a very nice place. They had many opportunities for recreation. I liked the idea that the YMCA is right adjacent to it, and that you will be members of the YMCA when you live at Geer Village. So, there's the swimming pool and everything else that you're entitled to. I also liked the fact there was a chapel and a visiting priest that comes on Sundays. There are enough elevators available, too. Their dining room was beautiful. The meal plan looked great.

My father-in-law was in Geer Village. To me, it's the nicest one in the area. They have a YMCA attached to that one; it makes it very attractive for me. They have a pool that doesn't use chlorine. It's all oxygen-cleaned, so it's always gorgeous. The facility was really, really beautiful. It's cheaper than most places, and it is a big place. If anybody's looking for a place, I'd give them Geer Village. They would be really impressed. The downside here is that it's in Canaan, so there are no stores or anything there. He went from independent living to assisted living, and then he went to memory care. They took really good care of him for seven years. I went there two years ago, and they look the same. They happen to have a good nursing staff. They have a doctor on-site that comes once or twice a week, so as far as the care is concerned, they were excellent. They're a little different than other places. Because if you're in independent living, you get a bigger room with a kitchen (since you don't get as many meals). If you need assisted living, you get a different room with three meals a day. The rooms are a little geared to what kind of care you need. The independent and assisted living are all mixed in together. They have a menu that would be like a menu for a fairly expensive restaurant. They have 25-30 choices every day for every meal. They have everything. You name it, and they have it. The place was unbelievably, exceptionally clean.

They were friendly and nice at Geer Village. The facilities were good. They were very much aware of COVID and were quite restrictive about it. They were quite expensive.

My family moved me into an independent apartment on the very day I was widowed. From that very night my comfort and security was guaranteed. The services and programs available prove that people care. The personnel, professionals are well-trained staff, alert and caring.
