Lanier Village Estates

NOT pet friendly. Dog park is at the bottom of a cliff and not accessible to walkers or wheel chairs. It is over a mile round trip from their room. No heart healthy menu here. I stayed on site with family and in 10 lunches or dinners only one offered a second vegetable. 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day as advised by the American Hearst Association is impossible here. Their standard menu is two entree choices, one starch, One vegetable and all the fries, onion rings or sandwich’s you might want. Bad for vegetarians .

As a long-time resident of Lanier Villages I would recommend it. However, the parent company, ACTS, has recently added a unprecedented amount of middle layer management so fees have increased and food quality and services has suffered and there is a high turnover in support staff as resources allocated for front-line services have been cut. Yet, in August of 2017, a new Director was appointed who is personable and an excellent leader who we hope can advocate with the Pennsylvania based headquarters. Lanier Villages is more expensive than some but the facilities, camaraderie among residents, and fellowship of friends make it a good place to live.

Lanier Village Estates was outstanding. They had homes, cottages, and apartments, and you can progress from independent living to assisted living to dementia care. The staff was excellent and very helpful in every way. The apartments were very large, spacious, and remodeled before you will be staying in it. They have a workout room, planned activities, and transportation for the residents. The food was very good. My experience meeting with the director was very good. She took us around, and they had golf carts available to take you around.

My second choice would be Lanier Village. It’s gorgeous over there, and the facility is wonderful. The people were warm and welcoming, too. I know that they have a lot of resources right there, but the price is what put it out of the running for first. It is definitely my second choice if the other place doesn't work out because they have everything. They go from independent living to total care and everything in between. They have a lot of outdoor and indoor activities all of the time, and they’ll take buses for special trips.

Lanier Village Estates was absolutely wonderful. The people were superior. The rooms are very nice and upscale. I was able to eat there and the food was wonderful.

Lanier Village was quite nice. We went to see a friend who lives there, but we didn’t have a tour by the people that run it. The environment is very nice, but our major objection was that you had to park your car on the street. They had a very nice garden outside. My friend was very happy and satisfied. It’s a couple, and they are just very pleased with living there. However it just didn’t suit us.

The quality of the staff, facility and the whole thing at Lanier Village Estates were extremely done. But I felt it was a little on the pricey side.

We visited Lanier Village Estates and it was a lovely place. The rooms we saw were very bright, very nice and very comfortable. They were small, but that's okay. They have a lot of activities there. They also had a library and a pool. The luncheon was very nice and the people were gracious. However, it was a bit pricey for us.
