The Residence at Ferry Park

The Residence at Ferry Park changes hands so much, but it is what it is. What happens is if you need assistance, they just have staff on board that you just pay an extra monthly fee, and it becomes assistance. That's the difference. My mother would just be in the same apartment, she would just start to get a caretaker that comes in depending on her needs, a certain number of hours per day. That's their assisted living. Everybody was very nice to me and everybody looks happy. They gave us delicious cookies. They were painting their fingernails and playing something. They revamped the whole place, so it's newer than the other place I toured. They had similar facilities as others. I've seen the backyard, I saw the entranceway, the dining facility that they eat at, the lobby, I went up to the library and they have a hair salon there. The staff who gave the tour was very good. Whoever I met introduced herself and was very, very nice.

My dad moved into The Residence at Ferry Park. It has kind of a homier feel, and it was a little smaller than one that I had looked at. It seems the staff was very warm and friendly, and it was just really a gut feeling. We have a good experience. They honored their commitments, and the staff was there helping us move in and transition my dad. Everything has been renovated there, so it's very clean. Everything is new. His room was nice and a great size. It is just a beautiful facility. One thing that's hard is that there's not a lot of residents on the memory care side, which is hard for my dad. There's not a lot of people right now, and I wish there were more honestly so he would have a broader range of people there to talk to.

We went to The Residence at Ferry Park. We were greeted very graciously, very courteously. They took us into one of the apartments, we sat there, and they offered us coffee and pastries and talked a little bit. We did the tour. It seemed to me to be pretty upscale. We talked to some of the people that worked there, and I think of the four places we visited this was the most upscale one. The significant downside for me was that the apartments did not have a stove and a microwave; they had a very small refrigerator and a small sink. There was no ability for the resident to pop up a coffee in the microwave or warm up some soup on the stove, so all the food that you want, and I guess you have to call down to the cafeteria or restaurant for something. From a dollar point of view it was more expensive for the place, and actually more expensive for a one-bedroom in other places. The cost of this for a large studio was comparable a little bit more in some of the other places for a one-bedroom.

My wife is in here. We're pretty satisfied with everything right now. Her apartment is very good, has plenty of room, and is in excellent condition. The staff members are all very good as far as I can tell so far. The dining area is very nice, and there's enough room. There are exercises and a lot of activities every day. They have good recommendations, and the staff members we talked to were very cooperative, very pleasant, and knowledgeable.

I visited with my brother. Everything is excellent. I was in awe with the beauty of the place. The rooms are very nice, roomy enough but not too big. My mother has an apartment for a single person. She's got kitchen and everything. We were able to go in ahead of time and set up the room with her furniture and her belongings. The food is excellent. When you look at the menu, it's set up so you'll feel like you're eating in a nice restaurant.
