My father is living in Emery Place for two years now. They're really good there; we're happy with them. It's just a little far from where I live. We have decided to keep him there for now. He is happy there. The staff is really good. He has a 1-bedroom apartment. They have a choice of 1-bedroom or studio apartments, and then there's also a 2-bedroom for husband and wife. Besides dining, they have musical groups come in, although with COVID, those have been more outside, and not in large groups. They have physical fitness programs and field trips; just all kinds of different activities. I don't know if they have a physical fitness room but they have physical fitness classes. They have a music program in a separate room, and they have a beauty salon. The staff members are all very friendly. I have not eaten there a lot, but the times I have eaten here, food has been good. The place is easy to get around.

Emery Place was a nice place. The dining area was nice and the rooms were large enough for 2 people, but everything was painted white including the hallways. My loved ones could easily get lost in there. The memory section was a locked unit and it was nice. The room we saw had a kitchenette, a living room, a small bathroom, and 1 bedroom. They allowed pets there, too.

Emery Place Assisted Living & Memory Care was beautiful, all brand new, and everybody was very nice. It was great. Sarah was really helpful and gave us tons of information. The day we toured the place they were having their big Thanksgiving meal, so the dining room was packed with people. She showed us a couple of different kinds of rooms. They weren't super large, but they looked nice.

Emery Place is pretty new. I went to the rooms and the common areas. She did show me activities and what they do each week. We’ve gone to an ice cream place, and they go on for shopping activities. They have some kind of charitable fundraiser there that they could enroll in if they chose to be. They had a nice, big, outdoor space to walk and just to be outside. They had people that would garden, because they enjoy gardening. They had all-valet parking for their vehicles. They could be parked in a garage, and when they wanted to go somewhere they would bring it to them, which was really nice.
