Penney Retirement Community - Penney Farms

My husband stayed at Penney Retirement Community and it was excellent. I would highly recommend it. He went in there at night from the hospital because he was discharged late. I got there the next morning and the staff came into the room to personally meet me. They were just kind and considerate as could be and granted our every wish. He got three good meals a day that he really enjoyed, and he got bathed as scheduled. It was really a good place. Plus, they had a good physical therapy department. The pavilion is the building that he was in. There's nursing home, assisted living, care center, memory care, and physical therapy there. He was in physical therapy. It was very good care. There was a lady in his room cleaning every day. He had a big bathroom. It was really, really nice. The staff were popping in quite frequently to see how he was and giving him his medicine or helping him to the bathroom. At that point, he wasn't able to walk because he couldn't even stand. They really helped him in every way he needed. I wasn't there every day, but the food I saw was very good looking. If it wasn't good my husband would say so, but he enjoyed every meal. Medicare and TRICARE took care of it. If you had to pay for it on your own, it's $400 a day. They had transportation for him. The staff listens to you. The place is very clean, and the pavilion is relatively new and very modern. It's a community all by itself. They even have their own post office there.

Penney Retirement Community was excellent. The staff took me on a tour of the whole place. They have different kinds of one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, three-bedrooms, and four-bedrooms. They have little cottages, they have a hospital environment, and they have 24-hour nurses. It's a wonderful place, and they were just finishing up the last building that they were building. The only thing they had available was a one-bedroom with a living room and a kitchen, and I just need more space than that. They have woodworking shops, they have glass-making, like the glass you can see in churches, and they have a flower shop. They have their own post office and their own grocery store. They have just pretty much anything anybody would want, and it's in a neighborhood-oriented program. Now they have two different places that are kind of like hotels. They serve meals in the dining room and everything. People can go down and go have their meal in the dining room if they don't want to eat in the room. It's very nice. They have exercise and all different kinds of things that they offer. The staff members were really nice, but I only saw two women in the office.
