"I’m in a senior apartment complex at Southern Highlands. It is in a nice location for me because I’m familiar with this area. The staff, so far, has been excellent. In my first month here, I took a shower, but I didn’t have a shower curtain yet, so I..."

"Westmont at San Miguel Ranch was nice and well-kept. Everything was clean. The apartment was also very nice. The one thing that I would like to add that I liked better about Westmont at San Miguel Ranch was that the bathroom is connected to the bedro..."
