Peace Village

From what I saw, Peace Village looked good. It was certainly one we would have considered. The staff showed me around the facility, let us poke around, and all that. They showed us where the dining was, and they showed us an exemplary room. I know they had activities, and they talked to me about what you could do, what sort of staff you may have available, the type of care, and all that. The staff was nice.

Peace Village was gorgeous, it was very nice. They've got different kinds of apartments. The only thing I did not like is that it doesn't have a washer and dryer in the apartment. You can have one installed, they'll do it if you want it at $1,000. They have different things going on, they have concerts and all kinds of stuff like that. The staff that assisted me was perky. It's got a $49,000 buy, and you have to come up with that right away. I was looking at the smallest unit, the one-bedroom with living room, kitchen, and bathroom is $1,990 a month. The whole place looks nice. It's one of the cheapest ones out there. After the initial $49,000, the rent is not that high, but it was out of my reach. It seems like the people there were very nice and it's all elevators, so you don't have to worry about climbing stairs.

My mom just moved into Peace Village maybe four or five months ago. She's in assisted living and she's 92. She's well taken care of. It's nice. It has a nice layout. She kind of has her own room, but she shares a room with somebody. They have exercise classes, a church, and a beauty shop where you can get your nails done. They have a very good cafeteria. And their staff is very, very nice. You can have your food delivered to the apartment if you need to. You can go to the beauty shop and get your nails and your hair done every week if you want. My mom is having a great time. She plays cards and bingo, and she is doing something every day. She's very involved.

The Peace Village was very nice and very clean. The personnel there seemed very nice and it had a nice setup for older people. We looked at their independent living, and everybody was friendly. It was very clean and they seemed very caring. The staff who showed us around was very, very helpful and she described everything very well. I was there once before, during lunch, and the food was very good. I would have liked to see a larger apartment but theirs was also very nice. They had a beautiful courtyard, a pond with a fountain in the middle, and it's a beautifully-landscaped place.

The independent side is okay but the assisted living is awful. Though a few staff members are wonderful many are awful, rude, and confrontational. The administration claims to listen to concerns but never actually resolve issues. If you press the matter they twist things back onto the family, refuse to return calls, and at it's worst make things very adversarial. Not what one would expect for $9000 a month. You get nowhere near the "assistance " they advertise. Do not put your parent's care into the hands of this facility.

Peace Village was great, but we didn't like the apartments so much. They did not have a dishwasher in the kitchen, and they did not have a washer and dryer in the apartment. You had to go down the hall for laundry. It's not a Catholic organization, although they have a chapel and a church in the vicinity. It was very well laid out, very large, and they had different levels of living. We liked it, and there were lots of activities. The person who showed us around was very nice. Lunch was very good and we were very happy with it. I liked the underground parking. Everything was very beautiful.

Peace Village was nice, felt friendly, and looked really friendly. The food looked good and they were very accommodating. It's a big place. The staff was very pleasant and answered all my questions. There were seniors playing games and cards. In the memory unit, they playe games that improve their memory to help keep them as sharp as possible for as long possible. There were some individuals playing solitaire. They were active. It was very clean, well-maintained both inside and out, and it had attractive grounds.

Peace Village was nice, but they only had single apartments. They didn't have too much of an option when it came to saving a little money. The price wound up being a little bit higher because they were only single apartments, but they were nice. It wasn't quite as homey as the place we wound up wat. It was a little bit less on the decor. The staff was very nice. They showed me their big room that they have services in and other meetings. I also saw a room where you can sit and meet with your friends and family.

We're going to Peace Village. It's close to where I live, and the food plan was ideal for my sister. The rooms were very nice.

I am a resident of Peace Village and have been intimately acquainted with Peace Village since it opening in 1989 and the assisted living facility since its addition in 1998 and need to take issue with a previous review that stated that Peace Village is a For Profit organization which is incorrect. PV is and always has been a Not for Profit Independent Living and Assisted Living facility. The beautiful setting of Peace Village is unparalleled when compared with other similar Independent Living and Assisted Living facilities including those that are much more expensive.

Peace Village is spread out, and my mom could not go from the assisted living area to the common area where they have all the activities; she would just be stock in assisted living, and the rooms were very small.

Peace Village is a very nice place; my mother moved in maybe two weeks ago. It seems well kept, and the people are nice. She is enjoying herself. She has a 1-bedroom apartment that has a small kitchen in it. She is on the second floor with balcony. They go to movies, short trips, and take them to shopping. There’s a beauty salon on site and a bank.

My friend loves the environment, the setting, and the activities of Peace Village. They had a beautiful pond outside. We didn’t have the chance to walk around. The young lady did not have time to take us to the rooms and just gave us floor plans. It had a nice view out of the windows, and they had balconies.

Peace Village is a beautiful facility and remodeled. They have doctors, a bank, and it’s close to grocery stores. They have nice apartments, and they have inside garage parking for their residents. They have a buy-in fee, so it’s kind of pricey. That’s where I would go, if I can afford it

Peace Village was a beautiful place. I really liked the campus. Their rooms were of excellent quality, and they had wonderful amenities. I also liked their business model. I found the staff hospitable and thought they provided good services. They also served excellent cuisine in their dining room. I met some of the residents, and they were all nice people. I liked the environment in general.

Peace Village is a buy-in, and I’m not interested in a buy-in. It was very nice but way too expensive, high-end, and classy for me; I don’t feel that I would fit in. The dining room was very classy, elegant, and nice. The staff was very nice, friendly, and accommodating. They had a very nice lunch area there, and the sandwich they served was excellent.

Peace Village was a beautiful place. The apartments were very nice but it was very expensive. We liked it and the staff was fine.

My mother has been here for over 4 years and the place is perfect for her. As she needs more help due to failing health Peace Village staff have bent over backwards to help us and work with us. The only down note is that sometimes they move at a slow pace in implementing changes of service. The comments from PVL seem unfounded. Of course we expect to be charged more when the amount of service increases. That's only fair. And getting money back to the estate is clearly spelled out in the contract - when the unit sells, the estate will get its share. Taking a year or more to sell a unit isn't unusual. The care, companionship and activities offered here are excellent. This seems to be a place that cares about its residents, not just trying to make money off them.

I WENT TO VISIT A FRIEND AND SHE WAS SITTING ON HER TOILETTE AND NO ONE HELPED HER OUT. THIS IS NOT GOOD.

We like Peace Village. They were a little bit more expensive. Everybody loves the staff. You can walk down the hall, and they're greeting everybody, and everybody is smiling back at them knowing their names. That's what we were looking for.

PVL

I would not recommend this place. My mother stayed here and they told her she could bring her small dog. Then, after a few months they made her get rid of it. After she passed away, the estate was supposed to get a refund from what she paid for her apartment; now one year later this still has not happened. Also, when she needed a 24 hour care giver, they began to charge her more for the monthly fee.

Kristin is great company for Mom. She takes her out to the Jewel or other errands, helps her clean and helps me keep mom on schedule with her medications.

Peace Village is a for profit facility, the people that run the organization seem to all be related or connected in some sort of way. Peace village is not steadfast in dealing with issues and are really not what they seem to be. The facility is clean and all but its just a pretty package. It is very also very expensive and the people in charge have ego problems

I have visited this facility and know several people who live there. They are all very happy with the accomendations. Definitely one to consider.

Peace Village is a great assisted living facility. It is very clean and the staff is very attentive to the needs of the residents. The residents seem very happy and interact with one another very frequently. They are always provided with activities, such as crafts, cooking, or watching music performances by volunteers. The staff members are all very friendly and have close, personal bonds with the residents. There are also many volunteers who visit the assisted living facility on a weekly basis, and do their best to entertain the residents. There are many activity rooms in the facility, such as a room with board games and books, a TV room, a room with a piano and a radio, and another large lounge with an attached kitchen. Peace Village has beautiful and newly renovated buildings, as well as a gorgeous garden and patio area. There is also a small lake behind it, with a walking path surrounding it.

Overall Peace Village has been a great place. Just visiting I was surprised by the nice and beautiful scenery of the facility. There is nice walkways for walking or jogging and breathtaking trees next to a beautiful pond. The staff are really friendly and truly care about taking care of seniors and making sure that everything is right for them. Since moving in, my grandpa has made many friends with the residents who live there, and they are able to take recreational classes and learn things such as painting. The facility also has access to local transportation, onsite medical care, and pharmacy delivery. The food they serve to residents is also amazing, and is great in variety and nutritious too! My grandpa was really hesitant about moving into Peace Village, but they've really made the whole transition painless and easy on him. He is still able to live independently and privately, but does not have to worry about maintenance and house-keeping. I'm really glad that we chose Peace Village for my grandpa.
