We did an in-person tour of Embark at Niles. They had meal options. The rooms were fantastic, and that's the thing I liked the most about this place. We didn't get to see a lot of outdoor spaces. Most of the community was still locked off at the time. They didn't want people walking about too much. The amenities were fairly good. The communal dining room was nice. They had a physical therapist on-site, so someone that needed it wouldn't have to go offsite for that. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. It's just too far away from me. If Niles is the area that you're looking for, it's a great place. The location can be difficult, especially if they have a lot of medical appointments and they're not close enough to where you need to be.

I'm really happy with having my mother at Embark at Niles, everything is fine. The physical appearance of the place looks great and I think it's well-maintained. It's a good place. What my mom likes a lot about the place is that they have good entertainment at least twice a week in the evenings, and she really likes that. They also have a beauty salon and a pool. They have a good staff and we're satisfied.

I have had a wonderful experience at Embark at Niles. I've only been there for a short time. The meals are excellent and very good. The servers in the restaurant are excellent. The program that they offer is great. They have various people come in and play musical instruments, sing, and dance. They have arts and crafts, a library, and a couple of computers. I chose them because they were less expensive than the other places I visited.

I had a very nice tour at Embark at Niles. The girl who took me on the tour was extremely pleasant and very knowledgeable so I enjoyed it. I think it's a little too expensive for my sister-in-law, although I think what they offer is worth it.

I really liked this community. The lobby and the floors were open and airy. They had a lot of outdoor areas for residents to sit, play games, read, or walk. They had an indoor pool and a little garden area where people could maintain their plants. The people were friendly. It just made a very good first impression.

I am moving in next week. I don't get to go out often and I don't have any kind of a social life where I'm at now. While here, if I get out, I can meet other people and there are things to do. It's a very nice place, well kept up, and clean. The staff members are very friendly, as are the residents that I met. They're easy to talk to. The facilities and the grounds are very clean. The outside patio where is very well kept. It's not too far from shopping. There's a mall two blocks away and there are grocery stores nearby if you want to run out to buy something. When I signed the lease, they treated us to lunch and the food was good.

It was a nice facility. The apartments were nice, and people seemed to be happy there. I talked to one of the staff members, and she is very nice.

We visited on Saturday. They were busy, but it was great. My mother has decided that’s where she wants to be. She liked the location. She liked the fact that it was near shopping and that they provided transportation to different places. I also found the staff to be very good. It’s a little bit more homey, and she’s allowed to bring her stuff. I think that’s why she likes this place.

The people are very, very nice here. The facility is older, but it's clean and no smell or odor. The people are very positive and pleasant.
