"We toured Pinicon Senior Living. I liked the fact that the people were out gathering together. There was an activity in the cafeteria. It was a church service type of activity. It was just good to see that the people were there. They looked like they were happy and enjoying themselves. When I walked in, I was just very happy to see that. We were welcomed very nicely by the woman giving us the tour. It was very clean. Outside, it looked like they were getting ready to have some activities for the people, like their planting boxes. Inside, everything was neat. I noticed that the carpet was a little bit unconnected in places. It wasn't that way throughout, but it looked near the front, they needed to do something with that, but everything was very nice. The rooms and the halls, I was impressed."

"Bickford of Iowa City is a beautiful place. They care for people that have a variety of mental illnesses. They're very, very caring to all their residents. They have different vantage points of caring for them. They don't use the words "don't" or "can't." Just within a few days of my relative being there, she loves it. We greatly appreciate what they do for her. She has free range of the whole place. My relative has a studio apartment. When we first walked in, it looked very small, but we were able to make it a homey room. She goes out to the front where she converses with the other residents. She has all the amenities that she needs. They have an area where they can watch TV. They have a piano out front, a dining area, and an activity room. They have a courtyard. It's kind of enclosed, but it has no access to the outside. They're wonderful people. They keep us in tune with what my relative is doing. The facility is good. It is like a square so they can walk all the way around. They have a free range of places, and they don't feel like they're locked up, so that's what we liked about that. They have a studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. They had all three apartments available, but we felt like my relative needed to be closer to the front in order to be active, instead of in the back where the other two apartments were available."

"We know many people at Meth-Wick. They gave us a tour of two of their places in the assisted living, and we enjoyed them. However, we are so far down on the waiting list, it will be a couple of years before we go in there. They have a variety of very talented staff members, specialists, Alzheimer's exercises, and food preparations. It seems to be the right place for us. It is surrounded by woods and lawns, so you know you're in a safe place. The location is close to everything, like our grocery stores and fitness centers. The community is clean."

"Higley Mansion is an assisted living facility. Has private rooms with private stool, shower and sink. Excellent food served in a beautiful dining room. The Higley Mansion was a mansion at one time-looks like a big home. Nursing care on duty at all times. Both my parents have been there. A very caring facility. "

"My brother is in Evergreen Estates III, but he needed to move into a memory care facility. The staff is very caring. It's a very clean facility and he's comfortable there. They have three meals a day and snacks in between. The food is very nutritious and has a lot of variety. They have activities throughout the month. They also have barber days where the barbers and hair stylists come in once a week. We just recently signed him up for the gerontology service, which means he does not have to leave the center to be seen for any medical needs. Considering the nursing care, I think that they are excellent, because when they do med rounds, they have one card for each resident. And they do two rounds a day, morning and evening. They have registered nurses and LPNs."

"I moved into Prairie Hills at Cedar Rapids. My experience has been very, very good. If we don't come out of our apartment, they come and check on us a couple of times a day to make sure everything's OK. My room is very spacious. There isn't much that you could want better than here. The staff is very nice. If you need them, you push your button, and they're here within seconds. The dining area is very clean. The food is average, but it's good. I like the people I eat dinner with, and the staff there have introduced me to a lot of people here. So, when you walk down the hallway, you're bound to meet someone you know who is very friendly."

"My mom moved into The Views of Cedar Rapids - Ridgeview Assisted Living. It seems very independent but supportive, with lots of activities, friendly staff, and a nice apartment. They do the housekeeping and laundry, and three meals daily are included. Almost every meal has a dessert, which is well appreciated. They have a movie theater and a couple of game areas where they can play cards or games. They have a pool table, puzzle table, activity room, and crafts. They go out on field trips. We're happy."

"We've decided to go with The Views Senior Living of Cedar Rapids. It's very clean, the people are friendly, and my mom needs a room on the first floor and this is the first place we found with that. We only talked with the guy that took us around, he was knowledgeable and friendly. They're still re-doing her room so it's all going to be new like the paint, carpet, and everything. The apartment's size is spacious. They've got an area for exercise, crafts, bingo, places where the family can go visit that are private areas. Just from what I've seen, I really liked it."

"My aunt moved to Garnett Place Retirement Community and it is a wonderful place. It was completely redone and it is well staffed. They are very caring and well qualified. The residents are very happy, too, and well taken care of. The amenities are wonderful. I can't say enough good things about it, and it is very competitively priced. Their policy is that they ask that the residents to pay the first two years of being there, and if they should run out of funds after the first two years, then they can go on Title 19. In other words, they won't throw them out if they have to go on Title 19. So, they provide excellent care. They also have an exercise room, several really nice activities rooms, and a beautiful dining room. I think it's just great. My aunt's apartment has a washer-dryer hooked up as well."

"Corridor Crossing Place was very clean, the staff that we talked to was very friendly. It's just that they didn't have a separate bedroom; it was just like one big room and that was the only downfall. They had crafts; they had a nice courtyard which was all enclosed. My mom has a dog and that would have been important. As far as the inside, it was very clean but on the outside, they still have work to do for the torrential rain last summer."

"I went to The Promise House for my grandma. It was a good visit. The room was fine but the facility was dated. The staff member was awesome, she was great. They offer memory care."
