Apple Valley Place at Charles City is a beautiful building. The main area is large, open, and bright. They have natural sunlight coming through the roof in one area. It's clean, and it's just a huge positive. The staff is friendly and helpful.

The lady that conducted the tour at Apple Valley Place at Charles City was very kind. She was very explicit in the facility, and the explanation of the care, and that we could come and go as we please so long as we were in the care unit, not in the nursing unit. It was just a really nice visit. It was a very nice facility and I was quite impressed with it. The rooms were very nice, and the common area is always kept very clean. It looked spacious. It didn't feel like you were confined in a cage or anything. It was a very nice space.

We're going with this community. The staff was on it. I like the better vibe. There was more happening there, and there was more staff there than in the other place. It's in the town where we live, so that's a big factor. It smelled good. I didn't smell mothballs when I walked in. They seemed professional, including the nurse I talked to. It was really clean and inviting. People were mingling around. It was alive. It had some music playing. It was a great atmosphere. They had a nice patio garden in the back. I didn't go out there, but I live by it; I see it all the time.

It was a really nice and clean place. The people were real friendly. The workers were always trying to get my mother to do stuff and walking her down even to some of the activities. They were really proactive in working with the people. She was in there until she missed a chair and she sat down on the floor hard and fractured her pelvis. The couple that I dealt with in there were really nice. There were a couple workers that really worked hard. They tried to get stuff going for my mom. The food was good, and they had activities going on every day. It's a really nice facility. The availability for the people to get to where the activities are is not hard. We got what we paid for.
