Woodlands at Reid Temple

Woodlands at Reid Temple was beautiful. It was still new, so it was well kept and all that. The property and the apartments were nice. I just felt that the square footage was smaller or average, compared to what I've seen in other properties. We saw people coming and moving, and they were wiping down throughout the common area as part of their COVID precautions. The staff was great and the dining area was very nice.

My mother moved into Woodlands at Reid Temple. It's very clean. A lot of the amenities are not opened yet because of Covid, but they have a hair salon, a movie theater, and a little open area where people can congregate; a couple of people play cards down there on Friday nights. The staff is extremely nice. It's super clean. I had noticed somebody picked the wall by the elevator when they were moving, and they fixed it like within a week. My mother loves it. The whole place is independent living. You just got to be 62 and older to live there. The staff is very attentive and very nice to the people. They don't provide food. They haven't started things where they can congregate yet because of Covid. They have mostly an older population, but they said that they are looking into trying to hire an activities director right now. They base the price on your income.

I went for a tour of the Woodlands at Reid Temple last Monday. It was beautiful, I put in my application right there and then. I'm placing a deposit this Monday. It is next door to my church. I love the location, it's perfect for me. It's brand new. It is absolutely beautiful. The kitchen in the apartment is absolutely beautiful, with stainless steel appliances, cabinetry, and countertops. The staff was wonderful. They were so kind to me, I asked many questions, and they were very patient. I just want to move now. The grounds are beautiful.

Woodlands at Reid Temple was new, and it was not too far from where I live now. The staff was very professional and answered all my questions, and the apartments were nice, convenient, and large enough for my furniture. They have a lawn, a gym, and a big open space where you can have company instead of just having someone in your apartment. They also have an exercise room and on-site medical staff. As far as transportation goes, they haven't started that yet because the building is not completely full; it's not even ninety-percent filled yet. So, once they get more people in there, they can work on that program.

My mother is living in Woodlands at Reid Temple. It's brand new and nice. Everything is updated and new. They had a few problems because there were still only like ten to 15 people living in the whole development. So there are problems, like the electricity would go out maybe once a month. The appliances and stuff are sort of high-tech for seniors like my mom's age, 80 plus years old. She had to call us to figure it out, and they didn't show them how to do anything when they first moved in, but the place is nice. The staff members were very nice. They just started to finish the activity rooms, they don't have televisions or anything in there yet, but my mom did say this morning that she saw the new apartment manager, and she said she's going to start ordering the televisions and things to put in. They have a beauty salon, barber shop, a gym or exercise room. At the end of the hallways, they have a television and seating areas.

I went to Woodlands at Reid Temple. I didn't like it. It was too small. There was not enough square footage in the apartment, and I had a lot of furniture. They have these long hallways and it's too confining, but it was nice.

Woodlands at Reid Temple was a brand-new community. The person who showed us around was very in-tune with our needs, she was very nice, and very helpful. The place itself was brand new and it was beautiful. It was a 55+ community or 62+, so a lot of seniors will be happy at that facility. We looked at a two-bedroom apartment, and you could get washer and dryer in it. Everything was new because it's brand new. There's a closet for maintenance. Everything is in one closet, so that when a maintenance person comes you don't have to worry about them going all through the apartment. They could take care of everything, air-condition changing filters, all of that from one closet. The building had cameras and it was locked with security. Everything was just beautiful. The two-bedrooms had two bathrooms. Because the facility wasn't finished, they didn't have a lot of activities planned yet. Eventually, they're gonna have a bus that can take you down the street to the shopping center. They also were gonna have a community room where people could come and visit you, and that looked really nice from the plans, but they didn't really have that together yet because they were just starting. When we went for the visit, they actually were just starting to move some people in. There was only one building where they were moving people in when we went. A lot of it was still fenced off because they were still working on it. They had a big parking lot for cars. A bad thing is if you don't drive, the grocery store is a little ways down, and you can't walk to it because there are no sidewalks on the main highway. You come out onto like a main highway and you can't walk on that. It is also based on your income, because it's more for people that have a lower income. I thought it would be a good value for the money for people who are on a lower income.
