I am a caregiver for my cousin and he has been living in Shipley living for over a year in their independent facility and I cannot recommend it highly enough! From the moment he arrived, he and I were impressed by the welcoming and attentive staff who made him feel right at home! Their professionalism and kindness were evident every interaction ensuring a smooth and pleasant stay. I recently thought along with his doctor he needed more care so I contacted Keisha and she immediately helped in having go into the next level of Assistant living. She kept in contact with me and directed me on the steps to transition him in to the new wing of the facility. She really cares about the residents and knows all of them very well! Thank you Shipley Living for all you do with taking such great care of my cousin and being so helpful with all his needs and being so supportive to his family!

It seemed nice, but there was nothing about it that stood out one way or the other. They showed me a studio room for assisted living. It was nice but it seemed small. They showed me the dining room and it looked very nice. The whole building itself seemed to be in good shape.

It was very nice. I was very impressed. They were able to answer questions that I didn't even have, which was nice. I was able to see a couple of the model rooms. The staff was very nice and very knowledgeable and had a lot to offer me in terms of information. The facility seemed very nice. I didn't see any trash around or any of that. It seemed clean.

I visited for my mom and I like it a lot, it's a place that would work. The staff that gave the tour was very nice and knowledgeable, and the rooms were very nice. The dining area was very nice, and I like everything about the facility.

We live in a 2BR cottage and love it. Well built, comfortable, deck off living room, nice view to the back. Lots of green. Deer. Foxes. Nice neighbors. Staff provides really great TLC. The are almost uniformly cheerful, helpful, and responsive. We looked at many retirement homes 5 year ago and Shipley met our needs better than any other (and we would move here tomorrow!)

We had a tour. It was very nice. They have very friendly staff, and it's very clean. The woman who gave us the tour was very informative. It's just positive, I don't have anything negative to say. They take all the normal precautions.

The physical and occupational therapy department was wonderful and very caring. That's really why my friend stayed even after her 100 days of support from the insurance company was up. The food has not only been terrific in terms of what is served, but also how it's served. The general friendliness of the place was really nice. They have two dining rooms with one area for people who need to be fed and the other for those who don't need assistance eating. They have a TV room, and there's a nice lady who entertains the residents with all sorts of activities daily.

My friend transferred from the nursing home to the assisted living part in a room with a nice bathroom. The assisted living unit was very small. She still goes back to the skilled nursing part for her OT and PT. The dining area is in a totally different corridor with four tables of four people each. They have a living room with a TV. Basically, the residents just stay in their own rooms. They have outside people come in to play the guitar, talk, or provide some entertainment for the residents.

We liked it. I liked the cottages, which seemed to be roomier, but my wife wanted to go with the apartments. They had activities like exercise, Zumba, and weight loss. They have nurses on-call, and they would take us to our doctors. They have three meals a day. The place looked very nice.

My mother is living here. She moved in there the end of October last year. It's the best that we found here. We chose this facility because of its proximity to me and the cost. The people there are extremely nice. The staff is very caring and very thoughtful. They seem to take an interest in each one of their residents. They remember their residents' names. They're very nice. For accommodation, my mom has a two-bedroom apartment. It has a kitchen, a living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. For activities, my mom doesn't get involved in a lot of activities but they do have activities for them. They go to different places for activities. They have a bus that takes them to doctors appointments and there's grocery shopping and shopping. They have different games like bingo, Mexican Train, pinochle, etc., and I think they have a bridge club. The facility has a gift store and a library in there too. With regards to food, I haven't eaten there, but my mom says that the food is very good. They serve two meals a day, lunch and dinner, and they seem to be very good and very nice.

I got a list of assisted living facilities from Caring.com and this was one of them. I visited this place. The room was fine. They did have recreational activities for their residents. I would give it a fairly high rating based on my visit.

I visited this place. It was a very nice facility. It was also clean. Everything was excellent except the size of their apartments. Their two-bedroom apartments weren't that big.
