Schooner Estates is very nice and is something we would consider. The pricing is comparable, and even a little bit less than the other communities we looked at. It's just that it's a little bit dated, but it's still nice and clean. The fellow that runs the place was very cordial and is probably the most knowledgeable person that I've talked to. The menu looks very good also, and they do a good job with the cleanliness. There are several plans, and there's one where they offer lunch and you pay for dinner and breakfast.

I toured Schooner Estates, and it's OK. It looked nice, including the building, and the grounds, but it's not something I'm looking forward to. They have gatherings, game rooms, and exercises. It keeps the people that want to participate busy, and it's good that they don't keep them in their room. The staff was very courteous.

Schooner Estates was very nice, and the people were wonderful. The tour was done in a very knowledgeable and compassionate way. The rooms were nice, clean, roomy, and came with most of the things needed, but you could also bring in your own stuff.

I had an excellent tour at Schooner Estates. They showed me a calendar of events, and I was pretty impressed with it. The residents seemed to be very comfortable. They actually strip the room of everything, so it is like brand new when you move in. My parents are moving in there, so it is a top-notch, very high-end facility but has good value for the money.

Schooner Estates had everything from assisted living to independent living. We had a fantastic experience there and really liked the facility. It's nice to be able to put someone in a location where you don't have to move them and needs will be met depending on the progression of their condition. They met all the needs.

Schooner Estates was fine and very pleasant, except they didn't have any space available, and it was more money. Our decision was based on the space availability, really.

Schooner Estates was pretty well high rated. They had several different types of apartments depending on what you want to do. They have different programs and several dining areas; again, it depends on what you choose. A room has a bedroom, a front room, and a little kitchenette. They have any activities you want. I would recommend them because it's very nicely decorated and they have very nice rooms, but they can improve their central air because they have window air. They got the walls painted halfway down, and every room has plush rugs in it.

We found Schooner Estates in Auburn. We have friends who live in the community, and we came to visit them and saw for ourselves how great it is living in this facility. The atmosphere is wonderful. Everybody is very friendly, helpful, and cheerful. It's just a happy place to live. We are in the independent living section, and we have a two-bedroom apartment with a patio. We get the main meal in the dining room at 1 o'clock, and the food here is excellent. I am diabetic, and they fix special food for me. The staff is wonderful. No matter whom you ask for help on the staff, you always get it. They have a shuttle service to take you to do the market or to take you to doctor's appointments.

I lived there for a while. I was taking care of my brother in law and that is a very nice place! It's very nice and expensive, but affordable compared to other high end facilities. I can go to Schooner estates for less money and 3 meals a day. You can get a one bedroom at Schooner Estates for less money than other expensive facilities.
The staff is great. You can't ask for better people! The housekeepers, the maintenance people.. They go out of their way to help you. I'm very satisfied with them.
If you've never been there, you should make a trip there! It is beautiful and their food is very good. I would recommend that place to anybody in fact I have many times. I still go over there and help the woman with her knitting and crocheting. I like that place very very much. It's a warm, comfortable place and people are very friendly.

My mother lived at Schooner Estates for about a year until she needed more care than the residential care unit could provide. I also have two friends with parents there. This is a terrific place and I would highly recommend it. The physical facility is lovely, the grounds are well kept, the apt. living is extremely comfortable with a good variety of options. The staff stays on for a long time. They know everyone and are very involved with people each day. I always felt comfortable knowing my mother was receiving very good care. Good food, beautiful dining room. It has a real community feeling. Lots of activities to choose from with many levels of independence taken into consideration. Everyone deserves to grow older in a place as nice as this.
