"I'm going to Quail Ridge Villas. I went there last year, and I was there again today. I liked the complete setup; it's very new and very nicely decorated. They have a lot of amenities. I can use the swimming pool and recreation equipment, I can have my own garden, and it's the kind of community where I like to be. It's out in the country and it's what I'm used to, and that's very important to me. They have different kinds of living arrangements, all independent. Some of them are villas and some are separate, two-bedroom apartments with an attached garage. They have a high-rise, senior-living complex, they have two-to-three-bedroom homes that you can rent, and it's all laid out in a beautiful place."

"Having a family member at Timbercrest Senior Living Community has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. Choosing a senior living community is never easy, but from the very first visit, we felt confident that Timbercrest was the right place. What truly sets Timbercrest Senior Living Community apart is the staff. Every team member we’ve interacted with has been kind, patient, and genuinely invested in the well-being of the residents. They treat my loved one with dignity and respect, and that means everything to us. Communication with our family has been consistent and transparent, which gives us incredible peace of mind. The community itself is clean, comfortable, and welcoming. It doesn’t feel institutional, it feels like home. The neighborhood homes and manor apartments are thoughtfully designed, and the common areas encourage social connection. There are always activities happening, from group outings and games to wellness programs and social events. My family member has become more active and engaged since moving in. If you’re researching senior living options and want a place where your loved one will be safe, cared for, and truly valued, I highly recommend Timbercrest Senior Living Community. Our family is grateful every day for the care and compassion they provide."

"I visit from Oregon every year and stay for a week at Grace Village to visit my Aunt. The staff is incredibly kind, the residents are very nice people from all walks of life. The facility is clean and neat at all times. It is very impressive. I enjoy my annual visits very much and am grateful for the gracious receptions I always encounter."

"I took a tour of Coventry Meadows for my mother, and the place was excellent. Their units were very nice and the place itself was clean and well thought out. The staff that I met during the tour was very polite. It has an overall nice layout."

"Our overall experience with Five Star Residences of Fort Wayne has been excellent. We chose to move Mom there, because this was in an area that she was already familiar with, and there were a couple of people there that she already knew. So, that was beneficial. Her living arrangement is a one-bedroom apartment inside of a building, so it's very nice. There's plenty of private living space and storage. It has a very small kitchenette area with a refrigerator and a microwave, which is already enough since it's a full dining service. The location of the dining room and the sites where entertainment happens are very convenient. They have a garden club, a nice movie room, a calendar full of activities that includes card playing and entertainers that come in, like local musicians. They have a lot going on and they have a shuttle that takes them to a few stores weekly if you choose to. She seems to like the food, too."

"We toured Peabody Community. The staff was very friendly, very helpful and very welcoming. They had a little welcome sign for me and my family. It was so good that they were thinking of us and took the time to make an effort for us. The facility was very nice, big, and offered a lot of things. Besides assisted living, they had rehab or memory care or the nursing home all in the same complex. If my mother-in-law had to go into memory care and her husband could stay in the assisted living, they would be right there together, which would be very nice. "

"The Yellow Retirement Communities is very clean. Everybody takes care of their little area. The community takes care of the snow plowing, mowing, and all the outside stuff. It's very nice. We found a 2-bedroom, one bathroom, and it's a little over 1100 square feet. The staff is very nice. They answered all the questions that we needed to be answered. They were forthright with telling us anything we needed to know or didn't know and how they took care of the water, the sewer, and the garbage. There is a washer and dryer in each apartment. They are all individual apartments. It's a regular apartment complex, but they are single-story homes. They've got one bedroom and two bedrooms with different floor plans. They don't offer any activities. If you just need to get into a smaller place, and you can still do everything you need to do, or at least most of everything you can do, it's the place to go in Fort Wayne. There are restaurants and shopping close by."

"We're very well pleased with the care my mother is receiving at Presence Sacred Heart Home. She's in a two-bedroom apartment, which is perfect for her and very clean. She gets assistance with vacuuming and changing her bed and laundering it. I'm pleased with the level of help. She was diagnosed with diabetes and mild dementia and they are able to help her. The staff is very caring and very helpful. She likes the food a lot. They have bingo, get on the bus and go to Wal-Mart or Myer, have musicians every day, spiritual development, a podiatrist, a hair salon on Thursdays, and a speech pathologist comes in. Maintenance is on top of things, and they even helped my mom hang up pictures."

"My wife and I will be moving into The Towne House. The tour was very positive. I like the size of the apartments and the convenience. The apartment that we chose is convenient to the rest of the community. It's over 50 years old in that location, but it looks brand new and very well-maintained. Their staff is extremely helpful. They have a health center, barbershop, and beauty shop. They have a podiatrist who comes in monthly. The facilities were first class."

"My grandmother is in Arbor Glen and she has her own apartment there. Her room is very comfortable. The care is very good. She enjoys the meals and the activities. She is very happy there. "

"I will be moving into Heritage Park Assisted Living & Garden Homes. It's very convenient, friendly, and welcoming. The staff was very kind, courteous, and helpful. Utilities are paid for. They had a lovely dining room and a chapel. The area around it was light and there were lots of trees and hopefully birds. The dining area was very nice and looked welcoming and clean. Everything about it was good and it was clean."

"I had an in-person tour of Heritage Park. I liked that the apartment sizes were good. It was quiet. They had a nice little area where they could walk, like a wooded path. They listened to what my dad wanted, answered all my questions, and were very personable. It seemed like they had a lot to offer. They had a meal plan where they could order their meals even if they were in independent living. They would either deliver or pick them up. They could also transition into assisted living or memory care as needed. They have a little gazebo area."

"Georgetown Apartments was a very nice place. You have to be totally capable of doing everything. They provide meals, recreation, and a room and help in keeping it clean. It's totally senior help. I only met one person there, and she's very friendly and knowledgeable. I have friends living there. It fits their needs and they love it. It's very good. "
