Victory Woods

Beatrice

I just moved into Victory Woods, and it seems to be working OK. So far, so good. It's a place I was trying to get into for a couple of years because my mom lives here. It's a very good place. For people that don't have cars, they have a bus that comes around and takes them shopping. The stores around here are OK, but not the greatest. They go all over the place. The rooms are of various styles. I'm in a one-bedroom, one-bath, one kitchen, one dinette area, and one living room. It's like a little square, but it's just perfect for me. They have meals sometimes, but none that the place provides. They have a couple of people who live there that are cooks and then they sell some of the food. They watch movies on certain nights, and they do bingo on certain nights. Not everybody wants to be included, but they're not excluded. They just don't come down to the common areas to do that. It's just the tenants who want to get together. Some people in here just don't come out of their apartment. Most of them drive and most of them take care of their shopping and everything all on their own. It's just an apartment building for anyone 62 and up. I only know the office manager and the maintenance guy and they're awesome as far as I know. The lady that works in the office worked diligently to get me in here and was able to get me some help with the rent. I'm not paying full rent. I haven't found any problems with any of them. I've just been here for a little while, but mom has been here for 10 years and she likes it. They interact well and they leave you alone if you don't want to be there. You're just independent right here. The grounds are nice, and they got the parking lots and they are monitored. You have to have a sticker on your car, so they know you're authorized to be here. They have people ride around and make sure that if they're not supposed to be here, they take care of it. They give us our independence, but they also get you included in everything. They have a bus, they have card games, they have movies, they have games, and they play the Wii sometimes. About half of them come down and the rest of them pretty much stay on their own. I think the pricing is reasonable. They work very diligently with housing to see if they can help you out.
