Barbara 2021-08-22 Vernon Woods Retirement Community is way out of my price range, but I love it. It is so beautiful and it's brand new. It has a living room and then a separate bedroom, and a big bath. It's just perfect for what I want. They have everything. They've got different game rooms, they've got a 78-inch TV in the viewing room, plus you have your own TV if you want, of course. It's just fantastic, and it's got an area that's got a refrigerator under the counter, and a microwave, and cabinets for dishes to keep some, if you want to keep some in your room. They also have a walk-in shower. One lady took me around and showed me the different things. I visited this facility

Bill and Cathy 2017-10-07 My Mom (92) & Dad (96) lived at Vernon Woods (independent living side) for two years, and both loved being there. The first time my Dad and I visited, one of the long time residents said, "It's like living on a cruise ship --- we have our very own chef (who has his own TV show) that prepares the absolute best meals --- we go on excursions all the time --- the staff and other residents are like family --- I've enjoyed living here for eight years!!!" Even though my Mom was not keen on moving there to begin with, she knew it would be good for my Dad. Within two weeks of being there, her attitude totally changed, and she was saying, "I just love it here --- I can walk down the hall to get my hair done, Chef Jeff's meals are great, the staff is super, did you know so and so lives here, it sure is nice to have someone come clean the apartment and change the bed --- they couldn't be nicer --- we get to go on so many trips, we've met so many new friends --- I love walking down to the lake and seeing the ducks and duckiings, geese and goslings ...........". My Dad said many times, "I wish we had moved here 5 years sooner, so we could get involved with more activities --- the people here are just Great! --- it sure is easy to get around --- did you know they even take us to our doctors, Walmart, church, ... --- the TV / movie room is great --- I'm doing the exercise classes --- I'm doing Luminosity --- I'm doing ... --- did you know so and so lives here ..........". From our standpoint, as their "kids", we loved going for visits, thoroughly enjoyed the meals, staff, and other residents, the grounds and facilities were always well kept up, but the most important thing for us was we knew that our parents were kept safe and loved by the whole Vernon Woods Family, and it is truly a Family. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

BB 2017-09-15 Vernon Woods Retirement Community was very nice and set up quite adequately. The lady who took us around was very nice. It's just a little bit far away from us. The staff was very nice, congenial, and helpful. The grounds were very nice, clean, and beautiful and there were flowers everywhere. The residents seemed to be happy. I visited this facility

Betty614883 2017-03-30 I absolute it loved Vernon Woods. I told the lady there that whenever the time came where I had to move my dad, that's where we would go. It was a nice, clean place in a nice, wooded area with a pond with ducks. It gave me the feeling of peace. It was friendly and would be something that my dad would like. It was close to where I lived. The room was very nice. I liked the layout and absolutely loved the well-kept grounds with nice walking paths and ponds. They had a lot of activities going on and a small kitchen. I visited this facility

George611561 2017-03-30 My sister is perfectly settled in at Vernon Woods. It is a wonderful facility, and she is perfectly happy there. The amenities are great. The size is conducive to what my sister will be more comfortable with. The location is private in a wooded area and very quiet. The facility is at least 14 years old, but it is very well maintained with an upbeat, bright, and cheery atmosphere. The have all sorts of different activities like drawing, physical fitness, and exercise. They go on field trips to museums. It is on a large river, so they have river boat rides. They have dinner parties and shows that they go to. They have a library and bring people in for entertainment, like singers, comedians, and impersonators. The staff is very good and those in the supervisory position have a long tenure at Vernon Woods. They are very informative and helpful, answer all my questions, and reach out to me periodically whenever there are issues or questions or if my sister is ill. They call me and let me know what her status is. They keep me in a loop and communicate very effectively. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

lmac 2012-09-27 The staff were always very friendly & they had a lot of activities for the residents & their visitors. My grandmother very much enjoyed living here. The facility was clean & did not look dated. When I have eaten dinner here before, I enjoyed it, but it was nothing special (probably for sensitive stomachs). I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone who is looking into assisted, but still somewhat independent living. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Allie1 2012-06-15 This particular facility is very nice. The outside of the facility is very pretty and landscaped well. The buildings also have a nice layout that make it easy for the residents and any visitors to find their way around. The environment doesn't make you feel like you are at an "old people's home" which is always a good thing. I know a few residents who live here and all of them absolutely love it. This facility provides all different levels of assistance to residents which is definitely a positive. The location is in a convenient and safe part of town. All of the residents have made their own little community out of this place and provides them with a great opportunity to connect with others. The residents are very well taken care of at this facility also. I am a friend or relative of a resident

caren811064 2017-05-22 Vernon Woods was really clean and had a very social group in a park-like setting. All of the rooms had nice views. The kitchen was adequate, and would have been easy to keep clean, but, they have housekeeping once a week. There was washer and dryer in the unit and a nice-sized walk-in closet. The bathroom had a shower and was sufficient, and appropriate. It had tiled floors and carpeting. The director was friendly and familiar with everyone; she introduced me to people as we passed by. The location was 2/10 of a mile to a hospital, and my personal doctor is right in the area too, so that was really nice and convenient. They had day trips, evening trips, and they had a van to take you to appointments. They served two meals a day with large servings in a very nice dining room. It was reasonably priced. I was really impressed and wouldn't mind living there. I visited this facility

Virginia730765 2016-10-21 We went to Vernon Woods Retirement Community, ate there, and got invited back. We spent a week, and we both liked it. It's a very beautiful, well kept, caring place with nice and friendly people. No matter what you ask for, they're willing, able, and ready to help. The food was absolutely wonderful. We ate two meals a day, and it was really more than we needed. The chef was a wonderful guy. He even came up to our apartment and explained to us the food and everything. They had food for diabetics, and my husband's blood sugar leveled off while we were there. We absolutely loved the place. I am/was a resident of this facility

Caring100515650 2014-10-18 My mom is in Vernon Woods. She is looking for an independent living and they provide the most independent living with appliances, kitchen and things like that. There is also a portion, which is assisted living, but she's in the independent living. She's doing great. For every senior that I met there, the first word out of their mouth is how nice and how helpful the staff are. They are very caring, very friendly, always available, and excellent. From the maintenance crew to the people who helped us move in, they have been excellent. The place itself just feels homey. It doesn't feel like a nursing home. It is a very comfortable and appealing place. They have certain meals accessible, and they have options on how they want to do that. The food is very flavorful and very good. They do bingo, yahtzee, and bring in outside entertainers and informational speakers. They have exercises and yoga. They go on trips. I am a friend or relative of a resident
