Vickery Rose Retirement Community

Vickery Rose Retirement Community was clean and superb. The person was very attentive. It was a nice tour and a nice facility. It's for people 55 and older. I like that all the meals and everything were included in one price. The accommodations and the amenities were on point. The pricing wasn't for me though. I'm just looking for some temporary housing because I'm in the process of buying a townhouse or a condo. That was going to just be a temporary spot and the pricing was a little bit for my budget. I'm a young 60 and a lot of the residents there were a little older, which I didn't mind, but right now I prefer to have a standalone condo. It's not ruled out, so my goal, if I can't get anything moving into a condo or townhouse by then, I might pick them up and just rent until I find something. It's a little pricier than what I wanted to pay, but it was good pricing. It's reasonable for what they were offering. They included the meals, the Internet, the housekeeping services, and all the amenities. Everybody was nice and my grandson loved it. Most places 55 and older discourage grandkids from visiting, but here, they welcome the grandkids and even had an arcade room, which was very impressive. They're friendlier to grandkids. They had the ice cream machine and popcorn machine for the kids. That was nice that they incorporated that in that facility. Being in a pandemic and limited to their grandkids for a year, most seniors want to be able to entertain their grandkids on a weekend, to visit and spend the night, and that place was very accommodating. What keeps grandparents young is having their grandkids around. They had a chef, and it's almost like a cruise line setup. It's state-of-the-art. I went to the dining room and they had everything laid out. I was impressed with that. It's almost like a cruise line without taking a cruise, and it's better than a cruise. I can go and feel like I'm on a cruise ship but not floating on the water. That's what I felt when I was there like I was on an extended vacation type of thing on one of the five-star cruise lines.

Vickery Rose was beautiful. They have a pretty little waterfall right in the center of the atrium. It was a lovely place. The person who assisted me was super. The concept of the room is about the same as it is anywhere. It is one common living area plus one bedroom and a small kitchen area. It did come with a washer and dryer, which was a plus. They have a room where you can get together to play cards or play games. They have a movie theater, where they show movies on a regular basis. They have outside entertainment that comes in during the year. They have a nice library and a computer connection room. They have different levels of meals. They have one area cafeteria style and another area that is fine dining, where you sit down at a table with tablecloths. They have an open bar, where you can just go and get food anytime you want (mostly sandwiches). The food was good. I had lunch there. They have an exercise room. They have garages available, which was a plus for me.

Our tour of Vickery Rose Retirement Resort was fine. We were able to see everything there. The places that we looked at were pretty much all the same. The apartments that we are looking at are two-bedroom, two-baths. They're usually around 1,000 square feet, and they were very nice. The staff was very accommodating. They didn't have a pool, but they had everything else. They had a theater, a gym, and a spa. The rooms had a full kitchen. It's strictly independent.

Vickery Rose was very nice and bright. The rooms had a lot of light. The staff was real nice and helpful. It was clean, new, and everything was included. It was a nice setup. They have outings, they take them to the stores and shopping, and they do planned activities. The one and two-bedroom apartments were nice and roomy. They have kitchens, a nice living area, the bedrooms and closets were a nice size, and the bathrooms were nicely set up with walk-in showers. They also have washers and dryers. The parking was nice and they have a little outside garden area.

Vickery Rose Retirement Community is very nice. The people are very nice, and the food is good. The apartments are nice. They are very accommodating. My parents have a two-bedroom two-bath. They had a cotillion dance one night for Valentine's Day and happy hour. They have a very nice exercise room, library, billiard room, little bar area that has cocktails, game room, and pharmacy.

I liked it. It was light, bright, and clean, and it was a nice building. There were a lot of windows. The apartment we saw was very bright with the windows and a lot of light which is what I liked about it. They seemed like they had some good activities and had activity stations on every floor. They had an exercise room, recreation room, and craft room which I liked. The only thing I didn't like was there weren't a lot of walking paths outside. The staff seemed very nice.
