Ascension Living Via Christi Village Georgetown

The apartments at Ascension Living Via Christi Village Georgetown were very nice sized. It had a living room/dining room combination, and then it had a separate kitchen. The bedroom was separate. So, it felt like a nice apartment. You had a lot of space. The kitchen was fully equipped, even had a dishwasher. The staff members were all very, very nice to visit with. They had meal plans. So, you could eat there or you could cook in your own apartment. There was a hospital practically within a couple of blocks.

My mother has moved to Ascension Living Via Christi Village Georgetown. They're very nice, and they're upgrading the sidewalks outside, so everything's nice. Inside, it's beautiful and very welcoming, so that's why I chose that place. It's the best one that I saw in terms of convenience and hominess. Everyone was really friendly and they came over to talk to me, so I just loved the place, and she seems very happy there too. They're too busy that it's hard for my mom to get things done when she needs something. But when she gets hold of someone, it gets done right away. She's gotten involved in bingo, and working on puzzles, and she likes to go at lunchtime and dinnertime to sit and visit with people. She loves the food, I've eaten with her quite a few times and it's always been very good. There's been some things that they say they're going to do and then they haven't followed through. And I understand that they are constantly interrupted, and it's hard for them to get everything done, but she has trouble finding them. Sometimes when she needs something, she just goes and looks for them. So I know they are they're all over the building, so they're really busy.

I will be moving into Ascension Living Via Christi Village Georgetown. I really fell in love with this place. They fed me lunch, and the residents came over and talked to me. They showed me several rooms. They showed me where the trash was, the washing machines, and the activities. The staff members introduced themselves, and we talked for a few minutes about what their jobs were. The kitchen staff were great. The food was absolutely excellent. They had something different every day. You could have the general meal, the special of the day, or choose something else. I had beef tips, and the proportion that I got was wonderful. They had puzzles and a craft room. The grounds had a little park in front with benches and tables. Because most of the rooms were upstairs, you could see out over that area. I loved that. They had several screened-in porches, where you could put flower pots out. I could take my cat on the porch, and she could sit out there for a little while.

I moved into Ascension Living Via Christi Village Georgetown. This is a good place. I am so pleased. I have 2 pets with me, and it's a really good deal. It is a new place, everything is brand new and clean. It's a 3-story building with elevators. On each floor, you can look out over the banister and see the dining room. I see handicapped people here with walkers and wheelchairs, and it's very accessible. There are a lot of walking spaces inside the building. You don't have to put quarters in the laundry, it's just there for you to use. They have a meal plan and everything. The meals are $12 each if you just want to buy the meals. Tanya, the marketing lady, is wonderful, and I am so impressed. It's a Christian community, and we have Catholics here, baptists, and protestants. They have a mass every morning and other services. People are so friendly here. They are happy to shake your hand and say hi. My apartment is brand new, and it smells new. The carpet is new and everything looks new. I have a full refrigerator, a tiny dishwasher, and a range with a flat glass stove. I love the decor because all the appliances are black. The cabinets are beautiful, they look like maple with beautiful handles on them. In your front room, you have a window with blinds, and you can see people walking by. It was not cheap, but it looks nice. The basic charge per month includes the water, your trash, electricity, continental breakfast, and laundry facility. You get 3 roundtrip transportation services within a 5-mile radius of the community. Breakfast is from 7:30 to 9:00. And they have community activities and outings. They have balloon volleyball, which I've never heard of. They have a beauty and barber shop. They have a nail technician who does nail polish, manicures, and pedicures. They have a bird aviary, chairs, and tables outside where people can sit when the weather is nice. The staff bent over backward to do whatever they can to help accommodate you.

Our second choice would be Ascension Living Via Christi Village Georgetown. I like it because I'm Catholic, and they also have a senior bus that takes you out and around places. They have something going on all the time. There are puzzles on every floor and places to walk. They have independent that separate like duplexes, and then they also have independent apartments inside. The person who showed us around was very nice, very informative. She answered all my questions and gave me information. It was nice. She was really helpful. The place is very clean. They have seating areas outside of each square. The apartments are all around the outside. The kitchens are a little small, but all new appliances. It is beautiful and it is clean. You have a window in your living room to look out into that area. You can look down over your balcony and see everything that's going on. They have a three-story fireplace. It was just really pretty awesome. In the apartments, they have a microwave, a refrigerator, a washer and dryer, and a stove.

Georgetown Village was beautiful, and the big lobby you walk into when you enter the building was gorgeous. A friend's brother-in-law was living on the assisted living side there and he was very happy there. You can do a lot of decorating on the independent living apartments. The one we looked at had a big window and people display their collection and what have you in their windows. It was really nice. The laundry was outside the rooms, and the machines were complementary. They had many things, like a chapel, if you want to go to church, and it was non-Denominational. They had cooking classes, crafts, puzzles, and all kinds of things to do there. The staff was great, and the building was beautiful. There wasn't a lot of kitchen space, but you're going to eat most of your meals in the dining room anyway. They also did day trips, they'd take you to your medical appointments if you need it, which is nice. You can also take the bus and they'll take you to the grocery stores or shopping, or outings and things like that. We still drive, but if it came to a point that we didn't, then that would be a good amenity to have.
