"River Commons Senior Living is great. I just got back from dinner, where we had French dip sandwiches, vegetables, and dessert. I like it here. Everyone is friendly and helpful. If you have a problem, you can ask somebody, and they'll do their best to help you. I'm happy I picked this place. The staff is great. Everyone looks out for everybody else. I had a tray that was a little heavy for me to carry, and then a guy who was right there said, 'Here, let me take it to your table.' They are very compassionate people. The apartments are spotless. I'm in a one-bedroom. I got two large closets, which are helpful. I don't have an oven and that sort of thing. If you want to retire and you don't want to cook, you don't want to clean, and you want nice people around you, this is the place to be. They have a library, a game room, a poker room, and a place where they play cards. I've only played one game, but I'm going to play some more. There are walking paths and a garden, too. I'm on the second floor. I was told it was the best floor. On the third floor, you would get the summer heat beaming down on the roof, and the first floor is a bit more active. We have AC, so heat shouldn't be a problem. I would prefer to have either a patio or a deck if I could afford the extra, but I have nice big windows. The food is good. The dining area opens up at 7, 12, and 4. I'm not used to eating at regular times. You could take a lot of food to your apartment, and you just have to remember to bring a container for it. My kids think it's really good. They have a heater in the living room and in the bedroom, so you're warm or cool or whatever you want to be. I think the value for money is great for independent living. All retirement places are expensive, but this is one of the better ones."
