I visited this facility

I liked the staff here. I liked the design of the apartments. The thing I liked least was the bathrooms. The staff we met were friendly and outgoing. They seemed to care about the residents, pay attention to the residents, and make them feel at home.

My parents have moved here. The overall experience is very good. The units are very nice. The common areas are nice, too. They're open and very clean. They have lots of activities. There's always something going on every day. There's lots of variety. The people are friendly and helpful. The other residents there are very nice and seem very happy to be there.

My father is here. We just liked the location and we liked the people that we talked to there. It was a good fit for him. He says he doesn't particularly care for the meals they serve, but he's a little picky. Other than that, everything's good. The staff is very friendly and outgoing. They have games, puzzles, outings, and stuff like that. They've got plenty to do. It's clean and the atmosphere is nice. They have a senior bus, so they take them out to the grocery store and they can take them to doctor appointments. It's right along the main drag and it borders a city park, so there are activities next door that they can watch.

I am/was a resident of this facility

We've moved into this facility. We chose it because we could afford it, and it looked like it had a lot of activities. I am a little disappointed because there's not that many people here who play cards, which is one of the things I was looking for in a community. The food is very good, and the apartments are fine. They don't have a pool or gym, but they do have books. It was large enough that we could bring our king-sized bed and our big television. The room's bigger than a lot of the others that we saw.

I think it was lovely, and very nice. It’s got everything a person could want. They’re very accommodating, and it’s great so far. My sister will be moving on Saturday, but it all appears to be fine.

It was actually the first one on my list. That was the best of all the facilities I saw in the area. It looked to me like they had a lot of activities and things going on, and the people were out milling around. They had crafts going on and different things going on throughout the open area, which I liked. People weren’t just stuck in their rooms, and the employees seem to be involved with the residents. If I was moving there, that’s the one I would want. Their dining area was really unique, and I really liked how they had the dining area set up. I didn’t see anything wrong with it. The rooms were clean. The facility just wasn’t as new as where my husband is living right now.

The staff showed me two different room styles. They had a lot of little sitting areas where they could sit, watch TV, and play cards. They have many kinds of meals a day; they had choices. They didn’t have little private patios for each room, but they had a nice outside walking area, paved sidewalks, and nice places to sit. It was on a hill, so it was a little tricky for him to park and drive. I met several staff; they were pleasant and welcoming. One of the rooms that we toured was actually occupied, and a woman was there.

We visited and the apartment was very nice. Everything was quite handy and clean. They had laundry facilities for free. We ate there, and the meals were good with options for people with diabetes. There were a couple of gals that chatted with us who were residents and told us different things about the facility. It had a lot of perks. We were very impressed. It was huge with one side a nursing home and the other side assisted living. We visited the assisted living. For the most part, it was reasonable, and had the circumstances been a little bit different, we would move our relative up there. She was in Kansas and did not really want to leave, and when we checked on the finances, she could not afford it either. They allow small cats, which was good because she had a cat that she could not live without.

We really liked it, but we could not afford it. They had bigger rooms with a fridge and a counter. This had more space.

I visited this facility

I was able to visit and the man I spoke with and interacted with was extremely helpful. It was an excellent community, I wouldn’t hesitate to put my mother there, and I was impressed with it. The staff was wonderful, and one of the things that I noticed was that if the staff walked to a room that even the residents spoke first to them; to me I just thought that was impressive. I feel like the residents were comfortable with the staff, and I thought the rooms were excellent too; many of them had large windows overlooking kind of a wooded area with a really nice patio space, fireplace, and a lot of things outside, just a really lovely outside area. That was one of the most impressive things I saw. They had a large dining room gathering space; I would think it might accommodate up to 50 people, it was quite large, and yet one of the most impressive things to me was that they had a private dining room that a family could run for a family gathering that would hold up to 12 people, so like if somebody had a family member there, and they wanted to have their private birthday party, they had a really nice formal dining room with a large table and nice sitting around. Just a lovely atmosphere for a family get-together. They have two kitchens; one of those kitchens had a table and chairs setup so if you wanted to just come in from the outside and bring a sandwich or something and eat with a family member you could actually have your own space there too. They had bingo, a lot of religious things, lots of craft things, and music. The aesthetic value of the place really impresses me most. It was just lovely, and there were so many opportunities. They had a large recreation room with a fire place, a lot of furniture, and three or four game tables. It was a glass door locked unit, and they use wrist or leg band guards. The door was coded, and it was so aesthetically pleasing as there were some large windows.

I have chosen here for my dad to stay in because of its proximity to my house. My dad has everything that he needs. He has free cable TV as part of the rent. They have a meal plan and he gets two meals a day, Monday to Friday. They have trips to local stores in the area and grocery stores. They have card tournaments, they have puzzles and a library. My dad likes it a lot.

We visited because I have a cousin who's there. The place was nice and I liked it that they repainted the place. The food is okay. But everything is carpeted and I am allergic to formaldehyde so I cannot live in a carpeted place.
