Alura Senior Living

We toured Alura Senior Living. There were a lot of things I liked about it. It's newer. It was built in 2021. It is very fresh. I liked the wider halls, which were bright. The artwork was bright. I like the layout of the rooms, particularly the room with the balcony. It laid out well for my stepmom's needs. Something else that I like a lot is in their dining hall. They do not have assigned seats, which is good if you want to go and meet other people in the dining environment. I also like how they do their dining. They have set times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but they also have times that you can come down at any time and select from a different part of the menu so that you can eat on your schedule, not necessarily the facility's strict schedule. So, I like that flexibility. The staff was very pleasant and engaging. They liked working there. You could tell it from their demeanor and expressions, and you could tell in their eyes that they enjoyed it. So, everything with the staff was very, very good. They have a central courtyard with a pool with waterfalls with koi fish. They have some raised gardening plots for the residents to use either for flowers or vegetables, so the facility itself offers a lot. The overall atmosphere was certainly inviting. Everything was bright and cheery.

My wife has been in Alura Senior Living for a week now. It's a very nice place. I would recommend this to anybody if their insurance and everything would cover much of the cost. In fact, I was going to move in there with her, but I really can't do that. I have a nice home and a woodworking place, and I just couldn't see giving it up. My wife is in assisted living and the area that she has to be in is where she can get some kind of care like helping her go to the bathroom and things like that. The overall experience is excellent. She has absolutely no complaints. My wife's room has a limited kitchen. It has a sink, a microwave, and storage for equipment. The place is immaculate. And any changes you need, they're willing to go the extra mile to try to satisfy it. The dining area is very nice. They have good food, but my wife was an excellent cook. That was one of her pride and joy when she was not in this condition. So they bring things that she doesn't necessarily want to eat because they didn't meet her standards. However, they've got everything available anytime you need it. Like if you wanted to have ice cream in the middle of the night, you could get it.

Alura Senior Living was nice and clean. They have a lot of activities and they have a nice place where you can go out onto the patio. It's all secure. You can't get out. I was just a little disappointed that if my wife was to go there, I'd have to supply the furniture. In some places I've been to, the furniture's already available. It's a small thing, but what I didn't like was the idea that when my wife ran out of money, the woman said "We will help you find a Medicaid place." In other words, you find a Medicaid place and if we can help you, we can.

The whole facility is gorgeous. The dining room and the food is amazing. The owners are compassionate, caring and greet you with a smile.

Alura Senior Living is the place we like the best. The facility was very clean. They have a lot of activities. The rooms are a good size for an assisted living facility. It almost looks like a hotel. It's beautiful when you go in, but it's costly. The staff was very nice, knowledgeable, pleasant, patient, and explained everything to us more than once. The rooms were very nice. We looked at the one-bedroom and the two-bedroom. They had a kitchen area that was very nice. It had room for a kitchen table and to put a TV in that same space. You could put a couch in there. They had huge bathrooms. It was very clean, up-to-date, had plenty of room, and was set up for handicapped people with bars. They had balconies. I had a meal there, and that was delicious. They serve three meals a day, and then you have choices. They have 30 or 40 more items on the menu. They were playing bingo the first time we toured there. They have musicals and happy hours. They have a beauty parlor and an exercise room. They do physical therapy there. They have three nurses on board, and a doctor comes in.
