It is a really clean, smaller community than the other one I visited. The people there are really nice. AIl the rooms are also very clean, and it seems everybody has everything together and everything is taken care of. The staff members are pleasant, I was there to look at the assisted living level. To me it's very homey and has a nice setting. I like that it's a smaller community. They have many activities and there's always something to do every day. They have live music, bingo, book clubs, and take the residents out, so there's a lot.

We chose it for my father. It was convenient since they're across the street from the VA hospital, as well as centrally located from both my brother and me. I like the place, the amenities, the setup, and the people who work there. I like the room size, and the view of the courtyard he has from his room's bay window. It's a large room with a large bathroom. I liked how the facility is one big circle, so they can't get lost, and his room is not far from the dining room and the TV room.

I went for an outside party, and it was very nice. They have a lovely courtyard which was very private because the building goes around it. It's small and cozy, there's not many people there so you won't get lost in the shuffle. They have a calendar of activities and every day is full. One day they would take you to Walmart, the next to a plaza, or different places of interest around the city. They also have card games, a hair dresser, and a library. After I visited there, they gave me an invitation to go to lunch.

It was very homey, and everybody knew everybody. The memory care unit had a lot of things out like a tool box, hats, scarves, and jewellery -- things that would maybe appeal to people. They had a social director who read to people and asked questions so it would stimulate the higher functioning people to participate. I asked the woman in charge of kitchen and food if they can make exceptions, and they said they could. The rooms were older but still pleasant, and the memory care was worth looking at because of all the activities, and there weren't many people, just maybe 9.

We choose it because there aren't too many people there. They have only about 60 to 75 residents. It is fully remodeled, and easy for my father to get around. I meet some of the residents, and they seem very happy. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The neighborhood is very good. It has a lot of new businesses going around. It is straight across the street is the VA center. The neighborhood is very nice. The food is very good.
The place is very clean, very roomy, and updated. We look at some of the activities. They have outings to the baseball games. They have crafts activities. They have transportation to the mall and various stores.

I went for a visit, and it's a very nice facility. Everything is nice, but it's also on a busy street. I would recommend this facility if they are OK with a place that is on a busy street.

It is right across the street from a hospital. Very small facility, convenient to the hospital and to the new Wal-Mart. It was good. The staff is very good. The women waitresses were good and there was a young lady there at the desk that is superb. She couldn’t be better. The rooms were small. I would think it would be more appropriate for one person. We have two and we need a 2-bedroom apartment and it’s just a little too small for us. It’s a very good thing but it’s just not what we need.

The layout of the place was nice. They have a nice dining room and a nice enclosed patio area. The staff was good. They were forthcoming though. When I told them why I didn't pick them, that their rooms looked like hotel rooms, they agreed. They did say that it was the most common complaints they have. I also met with the head chef. He was more than happy to drag us into the kitchen and show us anything we want.
