I moved to Azalea Estates Gracious Retirement Living. My apartment has two rooms and a bath. For a single person, it is most adequate, convenient, very comfortable, and has a nice porch and kitchenette. The meals are included. The staff is accommodating. The cleanliness is most acceptable.

I'm on a waiting list at Azalea Estates Gracious Retirement Living. The tour went very well. It's a beautiful place. They have a lot of activities. They have a movie theater, billiards, shuffleboard, firepit, and trips to the town. They had just about everything you could want. I saw their menu, and it looked like they had great choices. Three meals a day plus snacks. The staff was wonderful.

Azalea Estates Gracious Retirement Living was a very pleasant and light place. It's only for independent living, and the apartments were small, but they have a lot of public places where you can spend time at. There's a TV room, a movie theater, and some places to sit, read or write. They have a very nice kitchen that you can sign up to use for baking. The staff seemed very friendly and nice. The price per month includes three meals daily, so it's rather expensive, but their meals were very good.

Azalea Estates Gracious Retirement Living was beautiful. I liked the setting and the dining area. The people working there were friendly and welcoming. The outdoors was beautiful. I saw the place where they do the meetings. The staff was really professional and very friendly. It's very clean and very neat. They were doing construction outside, so it was a little bit difficult to get there, but the building itself was nice. They offer transportation.

I looked at Azalea Estates Gracious Retirement Living. It is fairly new, it is very big, and it looks very homey. The person who accompanied me was very good and helpful. I wasn't too crazy about the apartment because it had a very small kitchenette, and there was no division between the kitchenette and the living room. They went to quite a bit of trouble about the food, but I didn't really like it that much, as it was kind of high in fat. It just wasn't to my taste. They have the usual amenities, but I just didn't think I would be comfortable there. They have an outdoor tennis court, an exercise room, a library, and a room where they show movies.

Azalea Estates Gracious Retirement Living is a beautiful, new, and very appealing facility with interesting floor plans and appealing amenities. They do a three-meal-per-day, table-service meal provision, and they have an absolutely beautiful library. This is located in a university community, and many of the residents there are former professors or come from an academic or learning profession, so the library is particularly nice. They have a movie theater with real movie seats, which is kind of cool. Almost all of the living units have access to a private outdoor space, like a balcony or a walk-out patio. In some cases, the larger units have extremely large patios or balconies. I came without an appointment, and they accommodated me because I was on a short schedule. The staff couldn't have been nicer. She was very personable, very patient, and very enthusiastic about the facility. We did a meet and greet with a few of the other staff members who were out in the corridors doing their jobs, and they seemed pleasant. The facility is beautiful. It's brand new, so there's no wear and tear, and there's no smell issues or anything of that nature. It's a smoke-free facility, so that's a big plus.
