Verena at Bedford Falls

Garry

I toured Verena at Bedford Falls. It was extremely clean, had a very modern washer and dryer in every unit, and was pet-friendly. It's fairly new. They offer covered parking like 45 bucks a month. You can also get a garage for $115 a month. Other than this being expensive, I didn't have any dislikes at all. Everybody was extremely friendly. They also told me to stick around and have dinner, and I did. They said they had chef-prepared meals and I got a filet mignon and baked potato. I had a pasta dish but the potato was baked to perfection. The filet mignon, I like medium rare. It came out exactly medium rare and it was on time. The staff was extremely nice and very informative. Several times during the tour she would ask me, "Do you have any questions?" After the tour, she took me back to a room with a table like 7 or 8 chairs, and sat there. She went over everything. She gave me a brochure. She gave me copies of the menu that they use every day. I don't have anything at all bad to say about it. It was extremely good. They had a beautiful pool with a nice area around the pool with chairs if you wanted to get sun or something. The gardens out there were just very, very nice and people were sitting out there enjoying themselves. They had a pool table. They had a theater that was out of this world, the biggest TV I have ever seen in my life, that had to be like an 80 or 100-inch TV. They have all kinds of movies. They have worship services, Catholic and Protestant. I don't know anything about Jewish. They may have been Jewish, but she didn't say anything.

Ann!

small apartments but having the washer and dryer inside is great. I love the large kitchen and do cook at least one meal a day

Verena at Bedford Falls was good. There was a little confusion about me going in there for a tour, but they were able to accommodate me and still give me the tour. It's a very nice place. The pricing was a little higher and a little bit more than what my parents needed, but the facilities were relatively new. It was very nice. They only offer two meals a day. They have a lovely pool. It was very much more like an apartment living. They don't have shared laundry. They have laundry in their apartment. I would live there if I needed to.

Verena at Bedford Falls was a nice place, but I don't like where it's located. The tour was thorough and calm. The residents were pleasant. The interior of the building is very nice, not one thing wrong with that building and what it has to offer. Everybody wants to look out for old folks, and I appreciate that. The bedrooms, the living space, the eating space, everything was very nice. As far as the floorplans are concerned, they would fit anybody's needs. They had everything that you would think of, that you might want to be involved with, except they did not have a large outdoor space. Their outdoor space is a parking lot. I just have two things which I don't like about it, the exterior space and the location. They are pet friendly.

I toured Verena at Bedford Falls, and it was a very nice place. I spoke to Jayme who was wonderful. He was very charming and helpful. He could not have done a better job. He was very on time for the appointment. I didn't feel rushed. He answered all my questions. He answered questions before I even had a chance to ask the questions that I had. I was very, very pleased with him and with the facility. I like the fact that it was a newer community, and it seemed like a vibrant community. It was clean. I arrived there while people were still finishing up their lunch. There seemed to be a very nice congenial atmosphere. The staff that would come by, were smiling and greeting everyone. The people that were enjoying lunch in the lovely dining room seemed very happy and engaged with one another. It was decorated very nicely. The rooms were very nice. I looked at the 1-bedroom apartment. I felt that for me, that was a little bit too small because I have a lot of friends that would be visiting and I don't want them to go to a hotel. I'm more interested in the 2-bedroom apartment. The amenities seemed very nice. The common spaces were very attractive. I thought the cleaning staff was very friendly and lovely. I saw the exercise room and I met the hairdresser. I also met the craft woman on the social committee. The people that I met on the elevator and the corridors were smiling and happy, and they knew that I was looking and they were encouraging me to move in.

A young oldster.

Verena is a friendly place with residents that enjoy each other at meal times, activities and Happy Hour!! The manager, Vinson, is a "get it done and communicate about it" guy. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Maintenance problems are quickly solved by Tony. Chef Eric provides us with healthy, delicious meals. The women who clean our apartments every two weeks are friendly, careful and efficient. There are well planned activities for all interests, from movies to arts & crafts, to educational and all sorts of games. Outings on the bus take advantage of what the community offers: concerts, restaurants, shopping, museums, etc. We have a beautiful, heated pool with exercise classes plus an exercise room with state of the art equipment. We have a variety of one and two bedroom apartments, each with a spacious balcony. Pets are welcome. My cat and I have enjoyed living here for a year now, and plan to stay as long as I can care for us both.
