My mother moved into Pine Ridge Villas of Shelby. I like the management. I visited a few times, and the place is really nice looking, clean, and kept up. The people seemed to be sitting around and doing whatever as much as they could with COVID. The management team is really nice and has continued to be responsive to any issues that I have. They take care of everything that she has a problem with because she is older. She screws up the remote or whatever, and they are real happy to help her, always with a smile on their faces. That was my number one thing. The second thing is it's close for me. I live on 9 Mile & Ryan and she's on 20 Mile & Ryan, so it's easy access for me to go visit her. I can get there in 20 minutes, and that was important because I visit her every week. With COVID I'm her designated caregiver, so I'm allowed to come in there. They are super concerned with COVID. They're always cleaning and posting signs and careful when they check us in for taking our temperature, sanitizing our hands. They're real careful about that and retesting. She's been tested three times since she's been there. Better safe than sorry.
Her room is really nice. She's on the bottom floor with a patio door. She actually got one of the bigger rooms that became available when we were looking. They put new carpeting and painted everything and cleaned it real nice, put new faucets in, and a new garbage disposal. They cleaned everything up really nice when she moved in. I go there and I see all her meals, plus I've tasted some. I know on their brochure they said it's like restaurant quality. I personally wouldn't say it's that, but it's probably better than some of the others. Sometimes she doesn't like the food, but I personally think that's just because of her preference, because she's 91 and picky and complains about everything.
I've seen a lot of the food there. If she thinks there's a problem with something, she'll save it for me. They're very responsive if something's wrong, they bring something down for her, but generally I think the food is OK. I wouldn't call it restaurant quality, sometimes it's a little cafeteria-ish, but it's probably better than some places. I told my mother it's food service for 130 people and they're having to serve it room-to-room right now, so it can't be always perfect. For dinner, it comes at 4:00 in the afternoon, but she's not gonna eat dinner at 4:00 in the afternoon. She has to warm it up whenever. It's not perfect right now, but generally it's OK food. They have a bunch of activities. My mom just doesn't participate in anything. She has problems walking around and going, and she's afraid of COVID. They have had some activities. They've invited her especially the holidays. I've seen them posting things around. I don't think they're getting a lot of participation because of COVID, but I think they're doing the best that they can do considering the situation. They always try to include her and invite her and encourage her, but she just doesn't want to go. I really like the staff. The facility is really nice. They really keep it up, the grounds and everything. It's real pretty out there. They're doing what they can do. Under normal times they seem to have a lot of things going on.

We visited the Pine Ridge Villas of Shelby. I liked the facility. The apartments were large and spacious. It had nice-sized kitchens, which I liked, and I thought my mom would like it. The staff member that we went out with was extremely friendly and very personable. She seemed to enjoy her job and working with the people at the facility. The drawback my mom had was the location. It was kind of far from where she was in the area and far from where she does her shopping and stuff. The other thing she didn't like about it was that it was backed up to woods. You either looked out the front window to their road or you looked out the back window and were right in the woods, and she didn't like that. The people were friendly and the place was nice. We didn't get a tour of that place, so we only got to see the apartments.
We saw a two-bedroom. We walked into the kitchen and the family room. Off to the left side of the family room was one bedroom and off the to right side was another bedroom. They were spacious. The kitchen was large and roomy compared to a lot of the kitchens we've seen, so that was a plus. I thought it was a nice place. I only met one lady but she was super friendly.

Pine Ridge Villas of Shelby was very nice. The staff was very accommodating, personable, and professional. However, the kitchen facilities were small, and they did not have an in-room washer and dryer. They have a library, card tables, gathering rooms, and exercise rooms.

I was really impressed with the apartments at Pine Ridge Villas of Shelby. They had a few different kinds like a shared apartment where they both have their own bedroom but share the community area. They had a community room if you want to have a birthday party or Christmas get-together. It has a stove in there and a refrigerator so you can do cooking and have your family there. The staff was very friendly and very willing to help you. They were calling me for a few weeks afterwards. The dining area was very clean and very well kept. It's like a restaurant.

The Villas of Shelby was a great facility, but it was too far for me. The staff was very nice and went above and beyond for us.

My parents moved into Pine Ridge Villas a couple of weeks ago. The staff was very helpful, very good, very polite, and considerate. They told us about all the amenities they had, like movie nights, and where the laundry room was. The game room was very nice and clean. All of the people were very warm and friendly. Everything has been good.

This place has caring staff and great food. The facility is well kept up and has a charming lobby. It is set next to a forest and many rooms have lush views. My brother is a resident at this facility.

Lynette, at the Villas of Shelby, was fabulous. She helped us out not just with the tour, but she also reached out to mom to go to some of their activities. They were the most outreaching community. She had a gentleman moving in that same week that had been coming up there for several months, going to the happy hours, meeting and greeting people, and was looking forward to moving in. Their kitchens were open from a certain time in the morning to a certain time in the evening, so you can get anything you want at almost any time of day. They have the three hot meals of the day, but they also have open kitchen. So if you want to go in and get a BLT at 4 o’clock in the afternoon or if you want more soup at 10 a.m, you can do that. They have a lot of activities that they do. In addition to the normal stuff, they also have live entertainment every week. They have a walking path outside, and it is in a semi-secluded area, so that is kind of nice from a traffic perspective. From the downside, all of the halls looked identical, and it was very easy to get confused. Mom felt a little overwhelmed in there. I think mom would have been fine in there, and, as a matter of fact, we have a close family friend who lives there. But the way the layout was just didn’t feel right for her. It was a little overwhelming. Villas of Shelby was probably the nicest from the apartment standpoint as far as size and layout, but it still was not a very traditional type of layout, and having to walk through the closet to get to the bathroom just didn’t feel right. Again, Lynette was very helpful, the staff was really nice, and it was very clean.

Villas of Shelby Senior Living was so good that we had decided that when we were ready to put my mother-in-law in a facility, that would be the one. It was lovely. We liked the amenities and the activities that were offered for the seniors. They offered companion room pricing to make it a little more affordable. That was a draw for us, but beyond that, we just liked it so much. We thought the people were really warm and welcoming. Everybody was so fantastic. They let the family have a lunch there together to sample the food, which was wonderful, and their dining room had a nice setting. It was a great experience overall.

The Villas of Shelby was very nice although it was somewhat dated. I thought they did a pretty good job on it. They seemed to have all the amenities. We did have lunch there, and the food was very good. The dining area looked like an upscale restaurant. It was like dining in a fine restaurant. The only thing we saw was a few ladies doing jigsaw puzzles. The staff person was very nice and informative, answered all our questions, and even wrote a note a couple of days later thanking us for coming by.

Villas of Shelby Senior Living was very nice, but it was too expensive. I wish I could have moved there, but I could not afford it. It was a very beautiful place.

At Villas of Shelby, you get three meals a day, and once a week, they clean your apartment and wash your clothes. It's a beautiful, three-story high place. I like it. It's a very nice and clean place. They're very hospitable and had lots of parking spaces if you have a car. They had two buses that'll take you anywhere you need to go, except to visit family. They take you to shopping, doctors, lawyers, or wherever you have to go. It's very clean and had people from age 55 to 100. They had a doctor and nurse on-call 24/7.

From the minute we walked through the door, we felt at home! Everyone was and is extremely warm and friendly. The Villas was the only facility willing to work within my parents' budget. We loved all they had to offer. Wonderful restaurant dining, salon services, a wide variety of activities and "Right at Home" medical services/assistance. We just moved my parents in last week!

Found the facility wonderful, lots of places to interact with others and variety of areas to play cards or games, or to converse. Varied menu. Location somewhat isolated from stores and restaurants. Would be hard to safely leave the property to get sun and air.

Villas of Shelby was very cut-and-dry hospital-like. You could rent the family room for a party for $25, and if you leave it the way you got it, you get that back. They have a theater room and a game room. For food, they have a nice selection and a lot more options.

We're moving my parents into Pine Ridge Villas of Shelby in a month. It has a very homey atmosphere when you walk in, and it's ver nicely laid out with each floor's handrail painted a different color, so residents could tell if they're on the right floor. They have lots of activities and an activity room, an exercise room, a movie room, and a very nice hair salon. The reason we settled on them was mostly because of their ability to work within our budget. The other facilities were fixed prices and didn't try to fit into the budget. That was really the deciding factor; plus, we really liked the layout of the rooms. They are not large, but there's plenty of room for what my parents need. I was very impressed with the medical side in this particular building because they have nurses on 24/7 in addition to their staff. They have a doctor and a couple of physician assistants there four days out of the week.

I am on a waiting list at Villas of Shelby. They called yesterday that I am OK to transfer in two weeks. It seemed very comfortable and communal. The people were active and interacting with each other. We went to the luncheon table and people were talking and joking. They had a little snack bar outside too. They have a cocktail party on Fridays. It brings people together, talking and they’re amiable and I like that. The treatment was wonderful and the people were very warm and accommodating with great sense of humor. They had great interaction with the people there too. They knew all of their names so you could tell that there was a great communal feeling there.

After touring several places for my mother to live, I chose Villas of Shelby because it is clean and friendly. She has dementia. Villas offers meals and an on-site company provides additional care as needed. She loves living at Villas of Shelby. Everyone is so nice.

I visited Villas of Shelby. They were very kind, helpful, and not pushy because I was not sure when I would make the decision. It was well maintained and offered a great deal to seniors. I liked it very much. I liked the cleanliness and the friendliness of the people. The staff was very alert. I would highly recommend it.

I have been to the Villas of Shelby many times as a volunteer for the residents' activities. The staff has always been accommodating across the board. Equally important, the residents were happy with the games provided and the
prizes won.
I would look no further for a place for my family and friends. There is no reason to research the rest when clearly, I
have found the best.
Please continue in such fine style.

My mother has been there for almost three months and she and I are very satisfied. The building and ground maintenance is extraordinary thanks to Jerry and his co-workers. The help, from the kitchen staff to activities directors called her by name from the first day. The manager, Joanne, and Lynnette and Lisa the community coordinators have done a wonderful job of helping my mother get acclimated to her new surroundings. The staff are the friendliest people (they are always helpful and smiling). The caregivers, Paula and Diane have gone out of their way to make my mother feel like she is part of their family. I couldn't have placed my mother is a better senior community.

Villas of Shelby is a nice place. The staff is friendly, informative, and polite. The rooms are clean and nice as well. They have social activities, games, and religious activities. I would recommend to go visit them more than once.

I just moved my mom out of Pine Ridge Villas a week ago. She was there for about a month. My mother's room had a full kitchen, oven and stove, washer, sink and fridge. You could put a fair amount of furniture in the living room or sitting area. She had a nice balcony and a view. The bedroom was good size. They're very well maintained and very well updated. I thought they were well run in that aspect.
The employees were very cozy and friendly. The people tend to know the management. When my mother moved in, there were some free passes to eat with her to help her acclimate. I did eat with her and my daughter. I thought the food was good. They're not exceptional but good.
Generally, they took good care of her. At night they have somebody sat with her and that girl was very good and very thorough. During day time, they have people come in to do what they call wellness check or incontinence check because I remember they start to add all these services. I can understand in the beginning, but they should have start taking some of them away. And that's why I give them a 3 because they were not trying to reduce the cost to the person at all.

It's such a home-like setting and not like a hotel. The staff was very friendly. They have a lot of activities for the residents. I was pretty impressed with their menus. The residents can order from the menu and they have chef specials for the day. They can go into the dining room and order what they want. I am planning to get an apartment for her just as she wanted. Other than the fact that the apartment has a kitchen and she doesn't need one because the facility does all the cooking. I think it's very nice. I would definitely recommend this facility to others.
