"This review is about the cardio drumming classes offered at WhiteStone. We love them. They sharpen eye-hand coordination while giving a good cardio workout."

"We're very attracted to Friends Homes, because of the ambiance and philosophy in Greensboro, North Carolina. Also, it's a lot more affordable. It's got efficiency apartments as well as a one-bedroom, two- bedroom, and three bedrooms. They've got two campuses. They have four restaurants and they have shuttle buses that will take you to wherever you want to go so you don't have to have a car when you retire there. They're just delightful. The apartments were furnished with everything except your furniture. It's got appliances and carpeting. They've probably got a dozen different floor plans. So, they have a lot more variety. They have a fully furnished kitchen and laundry room. The food was good. The lady that gave me the tour has been very helpful. She called a few days ago to see if we were still interested."

"Pennybyrn is a Methodist or Presbyterian home. They were just wonderful there, and they also have skilled nursing. It was well done, well appointed, and the staff was excellent. The rooms were adequate, but not as good as the other places I toured. We saw the menus, we saw the dining room, and it was very nice. The menus were excellent. We saw some activities going on, people playing bingo, and putting puzzles together."

"My father-in-law was in River Landing for 4 years before he passed away. The staff is caring, and very outstanding. The food there was fine. He was in a private room, and it’s very clean. I have no complaints for 4 years that he was there. "

"I had my grandmother at Twin Lakes. They’re really nice, more upscale facility. The place is beautiful. It looked big, and the staff seemed very friendly and really helpful. They let me know every step of the way what’s about to happen. They’re very informative. In the skilled nursing facility, she gets 24/7 around-the-clock care. She is basically on her floor all the time. They have everything. They had a magician one time. They have a lady that comes every Tuesday who plays guitar and tries to get them all to sing. They seem to be pretty active. "

"We are on the waitlist for Piedmont Crossing. We toured it and we selected a patio home. It's more like a regular home and it's not in the main campus area. I think we'll be able to start with independent living. You can migrate to assisted living if you need to, and then they also have skilled nursing. We get full access to all the main building amenities. They had a gym, recreation, and a dining area. They have field trips and stuff on site, and they have a movie night. They have about everything we would need now. The room is a two-bedroom, and a bath and a half. It's got a little front porch and a back-covered back patio. It's 1100 square feet with a living room and a kitchen. We will cook mostly since it's got a full kitchen. It was big on my list to have a full kitchen and a washer and dryer."
