The Best Independent Living Communities in Carson City County, NV

"I happen to love this place so much. I have my mother-in-law and my father here to make life a little easier for our family. The staff here is incredible and very friendly. Yes, the place is older, but I have found that older folks actually like the well-worn sofas and chairs. It's not really worn it's just seasoned really good like a great steak. My mother-in-law has a very nice studio with a very large bathroom with grab bars and a seat in the shower (which she loves) and a huge closet and lots of storage for all her groceries that she gets delivered and put away from the local Walmart. My dad has an exceptionally large one bedroom that is more than he really needs but somehow filled that place up and loves his ground level private patio and glass storm door that is open all hours that he's awake so he can keep an eye out of all things going on with access to the parking lot which houses his beloved truck. They are located 4 apartments down from each other and They both love their own private spaces and feel very taken care of. My dad does not like the food much, but my mother-in-law doesn't miss a meal. I thought the exact opposite of that situation. My Mother-in-law loves to cook so I thought she was going to just miserable there because they do not have a stove in their little kitchens. but they do have a community kitchen with a nice stove and oven and can make whatever they want for themselves (or I should say) cook for others as well. They have very nice staff members who clean their rooms weekly, change their linens and knock on doors for meal planning if they don't see your face as they should. They try to engage you as much as they can without making you feel like you must attend all functions. I've gotten calls from staff members concerned when one is not where they usually are and that is a wonderful thing to be reckoned with. We saw quite a few other places when deciding on where a family member could go when your house is already full to maximum capacity, and we chose the best place in Carson City we think they would continue to thrive! and they both are living proof (one is 84 the other just turned 80) that this is the place to be!!"

"I went to Revel Rancharrah. It was very neat and clean and it felt new. The people all look content, which I liked. And the food service looked like it was going to be very good. The hard part of this is the scaling down that someone has to do to move in there. This is my biggest problem at every place, I wanted a two-bedroom, but they don't have that many. So basically, I was told if you want a two-bedroom, you don't stand a chance because a lot of people move into a one-bedroom and wait for a two-bedroom, and those people get priority over the public. So she said, you really don't get it. So, that was a little discouraging. I think they kind of all said that. The staff was wonderful. Every person I saw did a fabulous job."

"Lakeside Manor is convenient to where my aunt's house is. It's close to her dialysis facility as well. So, just it being in the vicinity was good. There's a hair salon there. The tour was very nice."

"I'm in Holiday Sky Peaks. I love it. It's great. The food is good. It's right by a shopping mall, which is maybe a mile to two miles away. It's got banks. It's got everything there that we need. They have a bus service that is very good. Everybody here is very friendly. The housekeeping is wonderful. The housekeepers do the lunch and the dinners, and they're off on the weekends. It's just a real wonderful place. I really like it a lot. They got all kinds of activities. They got bingo and card games. They have a nice beauty shop and nail salon. You can talk to the people here. If you have a problem, you go see Bob and he just takes it over. We don't have any stove, but I have my crockpot and I have my new microwave and my coffeepot. I'm pretty satisfied here. We got a refrigerator and I keep stuff in the freezer, and if I want something, I'll do something different. If I want to go down, I go down. They just redone everything in here."

"We went to Atria Summit Ridge. The tour was great. The staff who hosted the tour was very informative, very kind, very knowledgeable, and very personable with the residents, which helped my mom's decision. The place was clean and bright as far as the atmosphere. The apartment that we looked at was freshly painted. It's hard. She is going from a two-bedroom place to a studio. We were able to see the walking paths and activity rooms and things like that. We chose Atria because it is a sister community for my mom's senior living, an independent living place, so cost-effective. They waived the community fee. They had some better incentives because it is under the same umbrella. And because we had toured so many, I think my mom was just ready to make a decision and that seemed just a very easy one. It's like three blocks away from where she is. It's where she's been living. So, if she wants to go and visit her residents at her other place to say hi, she can."
