I have a close relative at Cambridge Village. There is a lot to like about this place. The staff is terrific and the programming is quite good. However, there are major problems with their food service and that's what I want to address today. The problems seem to fall into the following categories:
1) They are constantly running out of food items that are on the menu. This is a significant source of frustration for residents.
2) They offer almost no flexibility. If you want to substitute carrots for the sweet potato that comes with your chicken, you are likely to be told that they cannot make the substitution.
3) The quality of the food is very uneven. Sometimes good and sometimes poor.
4) There are few healthy choices available.
I'm really surprised and disappointed at how inattentive management is to the problems in the restaurant. Most other aspects of Cambridge Village are quite positive, but the food service has major issues.

I visited Cambridge Village. It's new, bright, attractive, and they have large apartments. Every apartment has a balcony, which is important to me. There are plenty of activities and a large indoor salt-water pool with a hot tub and sauna. There's a large dining room, a cafe, a good-size bar, attractive outside sitting areas, and a theater with regular movie-style seats. They have arts and crafts, speakers, a writing club, and trips to different places, like the beach, doctors' appointments, and concerts. They also have a full-time doctor right there. It's an extremely attractive and welcoming place.

I didn't care for Cambridge; it was way bigger, and I didn't like the person who took me around. We walked half a mile inside the place and the staff was not sympathetic. She showed us a 1-bedroom apartment; it was lovely and arranged very nicely, but it only had a partial kitchen, and it didn't have a balcony. It didn't have storage facilities -- you have to pay extra for it per month -- and it was located elsewhere in a big crate. I didn't like that at all. They take you to doctor's appointments, but it has to be between 10 am and 2 pm.

Cambridge Village had three different dining areas, so you have your choice: one had menus, one was like a pub, and one was really casual.

My dad already moved in to Cambridge Village of Wilmington, and it's just so much better than the other ones. The staff was very friendly. Everything was much better. Everything was great.
They had a theater, and a bar pub. They also have a full wellness center with exercise equipment, and indoor swimming pool. They were also building another wing that's going to be done in less than a year, and it's for assisted living. They have a lot of activities. Dad's really happy, and that makes me happy.
Cambridge Village is less than a year old. The staff was great, and everybody loved working there. The residents that were there loved it. I talked to a lot of them. It had a regular restaurant menu you could choose from at any day, and they would change up the menu every 2 months. It's very nice, but a little bit more expensive.

We haven't moved yet, but I think we will be going to Cambridge Village of Wilmington. We like everything: it's brand new, beautiful, and the price is right, and it has an indoor salt water pool and a lovely hair salon. It just has everything, and they're close to the medical community down there in Wilmington, which is nice. The grounds are lovely.
