"We especially enjoyed the Advent Christian Village Inc. It was not at all what we were expecting. We were seriously considering it until we had a change of fortune. They do independent living, assisted living, and memory care all in the same building, which is what I was looking for. We're independent at this point, but I know that at some point, we won't be, so I just wanted to move one time and be done with it. I would rate it as the highest of all the ones we have seen. They were complete. They were caring. They have been there for a very long time. They were the most reasonable, price-wise, of all of the places that we looked at. We even had the option of being able to bring our mobile home over there. We decided against it, though, because it was going to cost us a whole lot upfront just to get this place moved over there and pay this place an extra six months' worth of rent if we were to move it. It was just going to be a whole lot of hassle, so we decided against that. The staff members were fabulous. We had lunch there, and it was delicious. We went to their cafeteria and not the restaurant per se. Their food was more like cafeteria food, but it was pretty good. It was past lunchtime, so they didn't have everything out that they would normally have out, but what we had, we enjoyed. We checked the apartments. We didn't get to see any of the condos because those were all full already. The apartments were very nice, very well maintained, and nicely equipped. They were smaller than I would have liked, but you get what you pay for. We liked that. Their common areas are spectacular. They have this beautiful little old-timey village that makes you feel like you're walking back through the 1960s, which is really cool. They have everything in this whole shopping area. They have a barber shop, a hair salon, a nail salon, a restaurant, a post office, a thrift store, and a souvenir shop. It's cute. They have a very nice lodge there for when family members want to come to visit. A younger couple may not appreciate what we saw there, but it was very nostalgic to us."
