The Village at East Farms

We did both a virtual and in-person tour of The Village at East Farms. They're welcoming, well kept, friendly, and inviting. The staff during the visit was very kind and very informative. The dining area was very nice, but we didn't experience the food.

My brother has been staying at The Village at East Farms. They're wonderful and the staff is excellent. The food is excellent and the dining areas are like restaurants. My brother likes the food. The place is very nice and doesn't resemble a typical nursing home. Instead, it's comfortable and it's more like home.

My mother-in-law is currently at The Village at East Farms and we're extraordinarily pleased. The food is excellent. They only charge you $10 if you want to eat there. The staff is incredibly compassionate and caring. The management is excellent. It's a perfect solution for someone who has memory issues that may wander, because it is completely secure. They have a beautifully appointed yard that has gazebos and they have flower and vegetable gardens. The residents can go outside and it's completely enclosed by very tall, but very attractive wrought iron fence. It's completely secure, but it allows them the opportunity to go outside and enjoy the sun, garden, and sit in a gazebo. Her room is really gorgeous. You have the option of a single room or to share a room. We chose a single room and she loves it. It has a giant window that overlooks the yard with the gazebo, she has her own bathroom, and they do a beautiful job of keeping it neat and tidy. They have a beauty parlor, dental care, and eye care on the premises. They have a kitchen where they do demonstrationsm and residents can go there anytime they want. They have trips, music, movies, and a choir. She loves the food. The facility is bright, open, not crowded, clean, sunny, and well appointed. They have a place where they have things from the past, like old sewing machines, mannequins dressed in old clothing, and things to bring back great memories. They have four different sections and each section has a huge living room area that they have activities in and each section has its own large TV room. They have a huge lobby, which she loves to sit in to watch people coming and going, and that is totally secure. The only place they can get out is through that main entrance, which has someone monitoring it 24/7. They have bingo, flower decorating, movies, trips, and arts and crafts. They encourage you, but they don't make you do anything you don't want. It's not inexpensive, but it's less expensive than what we were previously paying.

My visit at The Village was wonderful. I was a part of an experimental program and I really enjoyed the theater participants very much. It's very nice, but I don't think I can afford it. The staff was very accommodating; they were doing a workshop and they set up a room for us and provided drinks and snacks after. The community was wonderful, there were meeting rooms and project activities that I got to try even when I didn't live in the village. They made it easy for us to go outside when it was nice out. You can go out on your own any time, no need to sign in and out. A lot of people have their own cars. I also saw a bus of residents heading to church. It seems they are very accommodating to all different religions.

The Village at East Farms was a really nice place. I liked it. It seemed more established, and it seemed like they had a lot of stuff in place. It was bigger, and it seemed like there were more programs that would have been appealing to my father, but it was out of the way for some of the children. They did have card-playing. There were more men there than women. It was more expensive, and they had a lot of different rooms. A lady had given me a price on one room that was a little less expensive so I think they had a variation.

We had a visit at The Village at East Farms. The place was nice and everything, but it’s just out of my budget. I cannot afford it. The staff that I dealt with were nice.

I found this facility to be in an ideal location for friends and relatives to visit.

My aunt is at a home right now, and she's going to be staying there. The name of the facility is The Village at East Farms. It was her decision. I was just helping her out, and I wasn't involved in the decision at all. She chose it because of the vicinity. It was where she recently lived. It was in the proximity of the church she went to before. It is very nice. I have contact with some of the people there like the aides, and they seem to be fulfilling their purpose. The biggest thing is the expense. I haven’t been much involved with it. Some people like it, and some people don't. It's clean, and the rooms are taken care of.
