"My sister-in-law will move into Park Pointe Village. I liked the dining there, the saltwater pool, and all their activities. We have a small studio, and we're waiting for a larger room to open up. The staff was down to earth, very pleasant, and had a great sense of humor. The food was excellent, and there were lots of choices, and all the people were very friendly."

"I'm going to Southminster. I had an excellent experience there. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. The apartment I'm moving into is brand new, and I'm very pleased with it. It's an excellent facility."

"We liked the programs at The Cypress of Charlotte. The food was great, and their breakfast was a buffet. The dinners and lunches had been great. The program that we will be in includes breakfast and one meal a day, which is dinner. We can have lunch there if we want to, but we'll just have to pay for it at the end of the month. We do not have a specific time to eat the meals, which is what we liked. The staff was very pleasant."

"The Sharon at SouthPark was very nice. I visited a friend there. I like the cleanliness, the residents' suites, the activities that they have for the residents, and the community areas. Everyone is very nice and very helpful. As we were trying to locate my friend, they were very nice. Everyone knew each other. They were polite in the halls. In the community areas, they all talked and spoke and offered good cordials. I haven't heard any complaints about the food from my friend, and they have amenities, too. They have an art class, there's a dance, there's church services, and there's a library as well. I'm pretty sure they have so much more because I think there are activities every day. It's very nice and maybe it is worth the money, but it's too much. They offer a lot, but I just wish the cost of these facilities could be a little bit more affordable for people who don't have all of the means to take care of their loved ones. However, it is a very cozy and very homey atmosphere, and I think the residents all enjoy it and enjoy each other."

"We found Carmel Hills for Mom. It has been a very good experience, primarily because I am now close enough to visit her every day. They are able, with the hoyer lift, to get her out of bed and into a geri chair, so she isn't just lying around the bed all day. They have worked with us to try to figure out what is best suited for her in this setting and this situation. We've needed to puree her food, and they're willing to work with us. I've been very pleased. She seems to be settling in and the staff has worked hard to try to learn how to pronounce her name, so she can respond to the correct pronunciation, and I appreciate that. Carmel Hills is an older facility, and the part of the facility that she's currently in is more of the hospital style facility with a nurse's desk. There are three halls that are pretty short, and they don't have a lot of people there. She has a roommate, and her room looks somewhat like a hospital room, but they have a bathroom to themselves. You can decorate it, and I've been really impressed with how some people have decorated theirs. She moved from memory care to this facility, which is not all memory care, but it is for people who need 24/7 care, so it's still a locked facility. She has to have assistance with everything. There's a number of people in the facility who are still ambulatory and active, and so I will see them in the gathering room, and they're doing some activities. The activity person actually goes into Mom's room and sets aside time to try to engage her to do some hand exercises. Mom is in the end stages of Alzheimer's, and sometimes she is nonresponsive at all, and that person always plays music to Mom. They work so hard to try to figure out what will work for her. I've fed her a number of times myself and the food looked pretty good to me. They're in the process of renovating right now. I have seen her engage with the rest of the community. The pricing compared to others is very good. We could not have put her in the place if they did not have the current price that they have. Compared to everybody else in the community, they're at least $3,000 cheaper."
