My mom moved in. We chose them because of the food and the hospitality they showed us when we looked. Her apartment is nice and clean. There's a pool table, a library, and bingo. They have ice cream socials and live music. The food is very good, and apparently, they've had the same chef there for 20 years, which is pretty amazing. They're very responsive and very nice.

We could not have been more pleased with everything that the residence facility offered. Jaime the in -house sales manager is an Angel and she was so helpful in placing our relative as well as comforting upon the passing of our beloved relative. Violet was awesome and always gave updates and we thank her for her interaction with our relative during their time time there.

I went here. It was going to be pretty far away and my father had to do his own laundry there. He can't see to set the dials on and that was the downfall. It was a nice facility. They had activities for them and stuff. The general appearance was nice. They showed a one-bedroom and a studio. I know they were doing bingo, but I'm not sure of the other activities. The staff was very friendly. The facilities looked very clean. They allow small pets, so that was kind of nice.

I live here and enjoy it. I'm doing fine. I'm enjoying the sociability of it. They have many things here for us to do. They provide entertainment besides the three meals and housecleaning services. They have bingo, arts and crafts, entertainment, music come a couple of times a week, and we exercise. We have a country store that we all take advantage of. We have a fact or fiction, bean bag baseball, Wheel-of-Fortune, poker walk on Fridays, Women's Book Club, current events for men, and they take us out once in a while to eat. They have a beauty salon and an exercise room. There are about four machines there. They don't have a treadmill, but they have a thing that pushes your feet. They also have a library, a card room, an activity room, and an atrium where we have some donuts and coffee once a week.

It was a great place, but we can't afford it right now. I saw some ladies doing some crafts and some were playing cards. I saw a few different activities. The staff was very friendly, very informative, and very helpful. I didn't eat the food, but it looked OK.

It is fabulous and top of the line. It's wonderful and we're very pleased with it. We love it. My dad's apartment is lovely and we like it a lot. The food is great and they have nice activities, like bringing people in to do music, play Jeopardy, and play football games for them. There's male-oriented activities, and mixed activities like Bingo and other games.

I liked it. We just had one person that we talked to who took us on a visit and she was nice, friendly, and she followed up three or four different times after the visit to see if we still had interest or if there were are any questions. It was laid out better and it was more open than other places, but it was a smaller apartment for the price. The dining area looked nice and there were a lot of people there eating. It was a nice open area and it looked fine.
