Western Home Communities

Reviewer#RD0723w

Western Home Communities is a very large campus. It has everything. It has memory care, assisted living, and private homes as part of the campus. It's very, very, very well kept. You wouldn't have to leave the community to do anything; it has everything on site. I think the price is relative to what they offer, so, it's relatable and understandable for what they charge. It's a very, very nice place. And it's more for people who like to be more social and more active in the community. However, it wasn't appropriate for my brother. He is more of a small community kind of person. He doesn't do well in big crowds. He would have been majorly overwhelmed at Western Home. I couldn't say a bad thing about Western Home; it just wasn't the right choice for my brother's personality. I've eaten in one of their dining areas before, and they have excellent food. They have their own mini store and gym and all these things you would never have to leave.

When buying into an apartment here, they will tell you that you will recoup most of your money, if not more, when you sell, due to rising real estate prices. However, after five years of living here they want to give my mother back $200,000 for a home that cost her $264,000. They state they haven't raised their apartment costs in the last five years. When I do a search on what the current property value estimate is, the average is around $298,000.

Older villas and townhomes are not care for properly. Management seems more concerned with building more "residences" than providing proper maintenance and care for the current "residences". A lot of standard issues come with the caveat of additional cost to the current resident. Find some where else to live!

Western Home Communities was very nice. The staff was very competent, quite nice, and accommodating. The food was very good, had a nice variety, and my mom was very happy with it. They had daily outings in the area.

We have taken an apartment at Willowwood, but we haven't moved in yet. It's in proximity to where my sister works and the programs are good. They have two community rooms that we can reserve for family get-togethers, an area where anybody can play pool, and they have laundry facilities. Plus, it's all close to the apartment we've chosen. They have the meals right on site and from our door, it's just about 50 feet. The laundry room is just down the hall a short ways, and there's a small storage closet across the hall from our apartment where we can store a small Christmas tree or that sort of thing. They have a lot of community things to do with other people in our building, which will be good for us. There's plenty to do, like movie night, popcorn night, Bingo, and then some. The staff is very friendly and overly helpful. We can even take our cat along, and the price is very reasonable.

I found Western Home Communities to be very helpful, accommodating, and I wanted us to make it our home. They let us pick the new carpet and we could hang curtains that we wanted or they could hang them for us. They are going to put an extra hold bar for me. We haven't moved in yet, but it sounded like there's something going on every day and it's all free of charge.
