Independent Living Communities in Columbia, MO

"My mom moved to Solstice Senior Living at Columbia. She just loves it. The amenities are very helpful, and handy, and she feels like they're borderline luxurious. She's glad that the sizes are the right size. She's also in love with the food. Whoever they have for a chef, it's really good. I had eaten with mom a couple of times, and the food was good. The staff is nice. They seemed like nice, happy people, nobody's grumpy, and everybody's happy. The decor and interior design are very updated and current, it smells good. The outside grounds are well-apportioned with flowers and bushes. The lady that managed there was doting on both of us, explaining everything to me and her. She didn't feel intimidated or barked at. She felt that the person was very kind and took her time, friendly, positive, and happy. I'm impressed. My mom has more of a studio-style apartment."

"We toured The Westbury. The young woman who gave us the tour was bright, very caring, and answered all of our questions to our satisfaction. We were not able to try the food, but the menu looked great. The facility was fresh and clean. The layout seemed to be well thought out with most of these amenities and services being centrally located to both independent living and assisted care."

"My mother is a resident here. They're superb, they're nice, and they have good food. It's a really nice and clean place, and they're all caring people. It's basically brand new and modern. She has a kitchen, a bathroom and a living area. I don't know how old it is, maybe only 10 years old, so it's all nice and new. They have a courtyard, plenty of room outside to walk on a nice day, and they have a big living room and an activity room. The food is great, and they offer three meals a day. It's just a nice and great place."

"We toured TigerPlace (Americare). The facility was a platinum standard and was more than we needed at the time. The staff was exceptional, empathetic, and professional. The facility reminded me of a luxury hotel. It was beautifully executed. The amenities were excellent, if somewhat limited."

"We went to The Village of Bedford Walk. They were friendly there, but they didn't have what we were looking for. The occupants were friendly, but my husband and I didn't have the right feeling. We saw an apartment. It was very luxurious and very well-organized. It had a full kitchen for cooking. The bedrooms were a good size. Everything was pristine, so it was nice. It was just our personal opinion. Other people would find it very attractive. The staff was great. They did a lot of thorough explaining of their facility. We tried the food. They cater one meal at noon and that's all they serve. Everything else is up to you. It was a very good catered meal, and it was very well served."
