Sentinel Pointe Retirement Community

I would say Sentinel Pointe Retirement Community was tired, but they're trying to update it. The rooms were off putting a little bit because it's a bit older. The staff was absolutely top-notch. The desire to serve was there, and you could feel it. There was such a very strong sense of community among the staff and the residents. They were trying to update the atmosphere of the dining place. The staff was so fabulous that they compensated for the tiredness of the place.

Sentinel Pointe is beautiful, nice, and close to me. The people are wonderful, a great place. The staff is very nice, helpful, and so friendly. They have a van that would take them to appointments, shopping, or grocery stores. They have laundry services and religious services, and they change my mom's sheets every week. They have bus trips like to the casinos, nature park reserves, and the food is really good. So far so good, and my kids are really happy too.

Sentinel Pointe has got just about anything that I needed. I can still remain independent basically. Most of the stuff that I needed -- doctor’s appointments or whenever I want to go to the grocery stores or to some kind of night out, they are probably willing to get me there. They had a nice health program for keeping your mind and body active. They don’t charge for things that many of the senior communities charge for such as the meals because those are included in your rent -- all 3 meals a day, so we don’t have to even worry about groceries unless you decide you want extra. They have their own little store right there in the building where you can get personal items. The staff really makes an effort to know everybody by name and to tell you almost anything. They don’t have a high turnover; they have had the same staff working there for years, and really it is a mission and not just a job, which really impressed me too. It is a nice location, There is a nominal fee if you want to have food delivered to your room, and they have ample areas for family to come and visit. It is also a good price.

Sentinel Pointe offers all meals and transportation everywhere. A person can age in place with most medical care, and you pay by level. It's a very lovely, open, and well-kept facility with very friendly, positive people. My friend has a very large one-bedroom apartment. They have studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms. The grounds are lovely, well kept, and surrounded by forests. My friend is very happy with the food. They offer three meals with open dining so they can choose their time to eat. I would highly recommend it, and their pricing was exceptionally competitive with everyone else we looked at.
