The Castlewood Senior Living

The Castlewood Senior Living was very nice. The staff was very, very nice, and they kept in touch as well. It was a nice apartment. They had their own laundry facility within the apartment which is very nice. Everything looked very neat and clean. They have about the same amenities as the others.

We toured The Castlewood Senior Living and it looked very comfortable, homey, and something that we might think about in the future. The staff was very informative. We saw the model room and it was very nice. The place was extremely clean and neat. They have plenty of room in their outdoor spaces, and their dining area was real nice.

I went to The Castlewood Senior Living. They were extremely attentive, wanting to know about my mother. They took detailed notes and information. They sent my mother a gift: individual portions of wine and a wine glass. They were great to us. Their facility was top notch. They're out in a suburb area that's affluent, and part of their building looks upon a field. When we were there, they were baling hay which was a nice thing to look out your window and balcony. There were trees around the campus itself, so it was nestled in quite nicely. They made a huge impression. Their facility was fantastic. It was clean, and it was one of our choices to offer mom.

The Castlewood Senior Living is a beautiful place. The rooms were nice and the staff was pleasant. They have a movie theater, a library, a workout room, and an indoor pool.

The Castlewood is a beautiful place. The staff there are cordial and kind, and they act like they want you to come visit. That makes a big difference, instead of saying they're busy and don't have the time. So, I like the people there. They went out of their way to try to accommodate us by showing us what we asked to see. We also had a very good meal there; it was delicious. We liked everything about it except the price.

The Castlewood Senior Living is a sister to another community I visited. They're run by the same company and are basically the same. The only disadvantage for me personally would be the distance. The staff who gave me the tour was excellent. They have shared studio rooms. It's an older community, they've been in business for a while. The place itself was like luxury 5-star hotels. They had a calendar of activities. They were full at the time of my visit and there were people going around. This place is very nice.

I have selected The Castlewood Senior Living and will be moving in there. I have friends there and it's close to the people I know. The place is extra special and has everything I'm looking for. I have the largest 1-bedroom. It's 790 square feet of living space, it has a kitchenette, and everything is in there. It has all the appliances you could want. I have a washer and dryer in my apartment, a large living room, large bedroom, and bath. They also have all kinds of games like bingo and mahjong, there's movie nights, they're always doing something, and they have a workout room and a pool. It's just very good and I feel very comfortable there. I've had some meals there and they're very good. Every day the food is different. The dining room closes at 7:00 and they have a room with some snacks and things so you can go in there too. I have a dog and they accept dogs, so that's going to be good. The community is really great. They're full right now, but they're building another one which is supposed to be open in August. The staff is very helpful, very up on things, and ready to help you with whatever you need help with. The building itself is very nice and clean, and set up really well. There's a wall before you get into the dining room, so you don't see it when you come in the front door, and I like that.

It looks like we'll be putting our dad in the independent living at The Castlewood Senior Living. We really like that place and we like the staff there. We like the fact that there are food options. It's served restaurant style where you can order off of a menu, and the restaurant is open from 7:00 a.m to 7:00 p.m. There seems to be lots of activities both in the assisted and independent living. It's a relatively new community, it opened around 2016 or 2017, and we liked all that about it. It's pretty good. I think it's a little pricey for assisted living. They have other things there like a fitness center, a library, several different types of common areas, and so on. Of all the places we looked at I would rate them the highest. All the residents I talked to told me that the food there is wonderful.

The Castlewood looked great to me. The staff was very friendly. The rooms were fine. They have a room to watch the movies and they seemed to have quite a bit of space for the people to play board games. The activities looked very nice. It's the gold standard there.

Jan

The Castlewood is very big and has kind people. The dining area was clean and I saw a menu that looked great. The rooms were very nice and big. They have exercise, transportation, a heated pool, a TV room, and church services.

The Castlewood Senior Living is excellent as far as the facility itself. It rates very high, but it's a little bit lower in price because it's further out of the city. It had an indoor movie theater and different things that we wouldn't have been able to take advantage of. They had professional sales staff that escorts you on a tour of the dining room, the gym, the movie theater, and the facilities, but we didn't interact with the staff at all. The food was very good. They give you lunch, and it was excellent. They had individual menus, like in a restaurant, and it was quite good. The dining area was excellent. The rooms looked very nice. The one we saw was vacant without furnishings, and you bring your own furniture. It's clean and ready for occupancy, and it's been repainted and set up for a new resident.

A Visitor

I visited the independent living of The Castlewood and it was good. The place looks very adequate, the room I saw has a kitchenette, and the building has three floors. Their food is good, but we were looking for a place that serves organic food, and they don't have that option. They have a meeting room where they can have shows and watch videos, which was nice. We had a little trouble finding the community, but once you know where it is it's easy to get in. The staff there was also good. The place is only getting started. There were lots of empty rooms.

James

When we toured The Castlewood Senior Living, it was not finished yet. There were workmen in the building applying some of the finishing touches, although they were starting to move people in. It's going to be nice, but the apartments felt too small for me and my wife. It's brand new, all fresh, and clean. The staff was pleasant and competent, and they've followed up with us, so they're doing their job. It wasn't fully staffed yet at the time we saw it. The dining area looked very nice.

My friend moved into the Castlewood. It's very nice, new, and they're still building it. They have a big dining room where they order off a menu, like in a restaurant, and a waitress comes and serves them. They have an exercise class and trips to shows and dinner. A couple of weeks ago they took some of them that wanted to go fishing. The staff seems great. They have church on Sundays, a cleaning lady who does laundry, nurses who comes to give medicine, and a doctor who comes once a month whenever they need it. I haven't seen anything wrong yet.

Debra

The independent living at The Castlewood Senior Living was pretty sold out, and it's not ready yet. The place was beautiful, but they had not yet developed their potential. The apartment was beautiful because it had a lot of light, and it seemed very classical and easy for someone like my mother to use. I tried the food, but I didn’t care for their method of serving because they serve meals any time during the day. I felt that if they didn’t have any specific time for the meals, then the residents won't have social time.

The Castlewood is brand new, and it has excellent dining. The food is not made the same, and everyone eats the same food. It is a la carte on a menu, and you can have breakfast all day long. They have a kitchen with a refrigerator for those who have late snacks, and they have sandwiches and fruit. They have brunch every third Sunday, church at 3:30, they take them on Sunday afternoon drive, and if they have some brands and shows that they wanna go to, they sign up for it, exercises every day at 10:30, walks on Saturday morning, and their security is good. They have the top and latest technology as far as cameras in their rooms. These cameras don't show the person to keep privacy, but it gives an outline, like a shadow, and it shows how many people are in the room and where they are. They wear a thing around their wrists so they can find the residents if they need to. It's outstanding. We visit my mother-in-law often and whenever we want. She always tells us that the she couldn’t be in a better place and that they're so nice and kind. Anything she wants and needs, they're right there. We’re really happy.

The Castlewood was not suitable for my mother. It's brand new, so it's very attractive. The staff was very nice and helpful. They had a nice exercise area.
