We chose Westhaven Manor because the staff was professional. The area is close to her doctor and other family members. And its a good location, but I was very impressed with the staff. I like the option of preparing your own food or having your meals prepared for you. I like that option, and I like the layout of the units. It appears that they have ongoing activity of what can be done due to Covid. When I paid a visit, there was a senior exercise class going on. And as I mentioned earlier, I like the meal plans where you can select meals, or you have the option of preparing your own. They also provide transportation to local grocery stores or retail outlets and I thought that was very good.

I went to Westhaven Manor yesterday. The place was nice and clean, the people seemed very nice, they were pleasant, walking through the hallway, and I didn't get a negative vibe at all. The dining area looked nice, closed down with covid, but they brought the meal to you, she discussed all the meal plans, and all the different things that were extra. I liked it and the pricing was very good, the staff was very, very pleasant, and then she called me back and told me they would give me a discount on the room if I decide to take it for my mother-in-law. It could work for her, it's a little closer to where I live, and a little bit cheaper.

I really like Westhaven Manor. So far, everybody is real friendly here, and they have lots of activities and stuff. They take you to the store and to the bank. The staff is real nice, I love my room, it's an apartment, I have a beautiful view, and it's just really nice. The structure is nice, it's nice and clean here, and I like the design and the layout.

I had a pleasant tour of Westhaven Manor. The one thing that I did not like was that it's 3-story and they only had one apartment available on the lower floor. I got this little dog, so I'm not running up and down the elevator when he needs to go potty. There wasn't any adequate area outside for private sitting. The rooms were smaller but they were clean and nice. They had all kinds of amenities. They had a weight room, a card room, and a craft room, which was nice; however, the place was spread out. It was too big. I can't walk very far even with my walker; it was just spread out. Also what I didn't care for was the price. The 1-bedroom apartment was small and there was not even a place in the kitchen where you could set a little table. It was really tight. Everything there is ala carte. You have to pay for gas, you have to pay your electric, the food is not included, and everything costs something. It was a nice tour but it didn't impress me very much.

My in-laws are staying at Westhaven Manor. They staff is active in dispensing medication to the people as well as on some of the meal plans. My parents-in-law's apartment is nice and they have a full kitchen. My interaction with the staff has been fine.

My mother is now at Westhaven Manor. So far, everything is fine. We have no complaints. The room is independent living so she is able to clean and manage her own room. They do serve meals, but we have not been participating in that at this time. The staff members are absolutely phenomenal; they're wonderful people. They have activities everyday. For example, they had an opening day baseball party; every Thursday they have bagels, donuts, and coffee; they have birthday parties for all the people who have a birthday for the month; they have outings to a restaurant every week; they have outings to the bank or to the stores every week; and they have outings to the movies. They have a store inside the building, they have a laundry facility, and they have a hairdresser and a hairshop. It is a nice set-up. The place is well kept, and they're doing some renovations in the front to make it nicer and more modern. It is also right on the money. The value is equitable.

Westhaven Manor was very nice, and the staff was very good and very helpful. We saw a one-bedroom unit. They served dinner in a very nice dining area and had transportation, movies, games, crafts, and outings to banks, shopping malls, grocery stores and restaurants.

My wife has been at Westhaven Manor for three months now. The apartments are nice and the staff is really great and very helpful. They provide a lot of different services, but they only offer dinner and they don't have much variety. Everything else is great. All the services are a la carte and there are multiple different services you can get, so it's helpful for people on a budget.

Location, cost, and being able to add on services made us decide to choose the Westhaven Manor. He gets his place cleaned, and he gets his laundry done. The food is good, and it is near to where his house was so he has the same grocery store and same doctor.
The grounds are better than adequate. The dining area is setup like a restaurant; there are tables and they’re not assigned so you can sit where you want. There is a calendar of events; the ones he likes is singing on Wednesdays like a church service. They have crafts, go to movies, they’ve got a room that’s specifically setup nicely if you will watch a movie, and they’ve got a pool table.
I have met actually the staff in the office, and they were great. I would recommend this facility.

I now live in Westhaven Manor. So far, everybody is wonderful. I don't have any problems here. Everything is fine. We usually have bingo and birthday parties. We also have a bus driver who takes us on trips. I have my own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room and a small balcony. All in all, I feel comfortable living here.
