Diakon Senior Living - Ravenwood Campus

I visited a friend at Diakon Senior Living - Ravenwood Campus. The residents seemed to enjoy it and they don't have any problems being there. When I went to visit the assisted living side I'd go on and sit down and have lunch and dinner with them. The food looked good. It was pleasant looking and appetizing. Everyone was friendly. It was a very clean place. I've visited the apartment and it was a very nice place. I think I liked it because it was cheerful looking, and it did not have a sick smell about it, and that impressed me. I don't want my son's mother-in-law going to a place that smells like urine or has a sick smell. It felt homey. The staff was pleasant.

Hagerstown refurbished their units when they turned it over. The flooring, walls, and cabinets -- everything is new. That was really nice. It turns out to be a cheaper alternative -- number 1 on our list at this point. They had the nice calendar of events, and they were getting things together that they would do and places to go outside the community with their bus. It was a pretty well rounded schedule of activities for the community. My mom was pleased with what she saw.
