Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Knoxville, IA

"My relative is a resident of The Village. It's very clean. He's very well kept, and he has very good care. He's always clean and looks clean. They get him up and around, and he likes the food a lot. I really do like it a lot. We were just thinking maybe if we could find something cheaper, but considering they have the nursing home right there also, we just kind of decided that might be best. I have tried the food and it is good. He doesn't participate in activities because that's just him, but they do have them. I can't say a lot, but I know they've asked him. He likes to go out, watch TV, sit and visit, and stuff."

"We went to Wesley Park Centre independent living, but we're also quite satisfied that assisted living would work beautifully. It has the advantage of being across the street from the public library, a major grocery store, and a hospital. It's three stories and it's extremely attractive. The staff was friendly and informative. We've looked at two or three apartments and there were spaces, in particular very nice kitchens. They have a workout room. If you want meals instead of cooking your own, even as independent, meals are available. They have all the standard amenities. The dining area was fairly spacious. The tables were not crowded closely together. They're fairly well spaced out. It's attractive and comfortable. There were other areas also that we did not look at. If you were having a meeting with 12 or 15 people there were a couple of rooms available, and that sort of thing could be done over a meal included. Upkeep and maintenance were excellent."

"The location of Prairie Vista Village is ideal for me because it's close to two of my sons and I like that the home has a patio, which I like having in my apartment. I like the idea that there are two meals a day included in the rent. The rent was affordable to me and there's a garage. The apartment that I will be in has two bedrooms with a full kitchen and laundry (a washer and dryer). The rooms are all quite spacious, larger than the rooms in the house that I'm living in now. There's lots of light in the rooms. The living room has large windows on two sides and the bedroom also has a large window and lots of closet space. The lady who gave the tour was very, very bright, and very intelligent, and she answered all of my questions exactly the way I wanted to satisfy my curiosity. She was very nice. They have an area where people can plant plants in the summertime if they get the urge to do some gardening. There is a small area for that and there's a walking path around the building."
