"The first time I visited my grandparents here I was stunned at the cleanliness, the food quality, and the vitality of its residents. Many senior homes can be a bit depressing, but my grandparents loved the warm colors, friendly staff, activities, and meet up nooks with comfortable couches and chairs. They quickly found a circle of friends with whom to share happy hour & conversation. The food was restaurant quality and indeed the dining room is set up like a restaurant: different sizes of tables and an actual menu to choose from while local college students serve. Originally I would have given this place a 5 out of 5.Unfortunately it has changed hands a couple times, and the new management has not kept up with the quality. It's still nice, but the cleaning staff doesn't get all the cobwebs out of the corners or dust every shelf if you know what I mean. The food is still pretty good, but the quality is now at a 3.5 to maybe 4, and isn't necessarily the most varied. What has altered most, however, is the type of residents living there. It used to be what it advertised: "independent active seniors." There was (and still is) a woman who publishes her own little community newspaper for everyone who lives there. There are still some residents that are fully cognizant, but the sense of vitality I noticed when I first visited is definitely gone. My grandfather, who is, at 87, still mentally agile has become quite depressed in the past couple years because there is no one to talk to as compared to his first few years living there. In summary: Nice, but not exquisite, and if you're loved one is still actually independent, it's worth looking at but check out some other options as well. "

"I went to Montereau the Saturday of Labor Day weekend and took a little bit of a tour. It is in the other side of 71st Street in a very wooded area. They've been up for 10 years. It's very nice, very clean and very well kept. They have four restaurants. They have a spa and a wonderful fitness area. They have a chapel for all faiths. They have a wide variety of activities from painting to games, bridge and billiards. I want to go live there, it's a great place. There are many senior adult couples who live there that one of the spouses is in the Alzheimer memory care place while the other one could enjoy the independent living and I think it would give my father a measure of support. My father's wife has pretty advanced stage of Alzheimer's and he would be in independent living area where she would be in the more highly structured memory care. "

"Go Ye Village was very good and economical, with a very nice people and a good community. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Although the food was good, it wasn’t cuisine, but for what you are getting there, it’s beautiful and healthy food. "

"My mother has pretty much decided to go to Methodist Manor here in Tulsa, and we put down the deposit. There is a waiting list. She just knows more people there than anywhere else in town and feels like she would be most comfortable there. We've been Methodist all of our lives, so most of our Sunday school classmates retired there, and it's right by my mother's house. They've got everything. They have high-end apartments where just the entry fee alone is $140,000, and then you pay rent on top of that, but they're lovely with balconies. They've got independent living bungalows and apartments, they've got assisted living facilities, and they've got places for Alzheimer's dementia patients on the same campus. They've got a heated indoor pool for water aerobics and lots of activities scheduled. It's very secure, there's a guard and a gate, and the facilities are locked. They have a wide food selection every day for every meal. She will either be in assisted living or in the memory unit. She has to be evaluated to determine what level of care she needs. If you're going to be in independent living, it's expensive, but if you're going to assisted living, there is no membership fee, just a monthly rent. If you want to be in their newer high-rise building, it's more expensive. "
