I like Residence at University Heights very well, but they don't offer any services I would probably be looking for down the road. It is just a place to live for senior living. I ate a noon meal at their location, and it was very, very good. They had lasagna, which is one of my favorites. I met the cook and the director, and they were very pleasant and helpful in answering questions. They did a good job of presenting their units. There is a variation in the size, and there is comfort and a feeling of home, but they're very different.
