Genesis Village

Sweet lady

I’m very happy with my room. Spacious and handicapped accessible, the price is $2900 + per month. The food is very bland and not home cooked. I wish they would update the salad bar. The hot bar food is always cold! Not many residents eat lunch and dinner anymore. The residents, front door staff and LE staff are wonderful. I’m looking for another residence in Toledo. Genesis Village needs a good cleaning and update.

What I like best about Genesis Village is that they care about the residents. My mother is there and they make sure that they check on them daily. They've got a routine where they make sure that they visit or see every one of the residents daily. The food is tasty. There are not very many complaints there. It's a great facility. It's got a swimming pool and a sauna. It's a very good community for my mother because she loves playing cards and games, and they have large rooms for multiple groups. They have a lot of interactive activities like Wii bowling, and she loves that. So, they always try to keep things active and busy. They often do outings to the grocery stores and such. They have a salon on staff there, so my mother can get a haircut and she doesn't have to leave the property. Everything's within the community. They even have a foot doctor that comes there monthly and they have a lot of services that are offered that can be utilized, too. I really can't think of any negatives. It is exactly what they are, an independent living. It's very suitable. They do a good selection process for employees, making sure that they're going to be caring and considerate. They just have a wind tunnel issue with the building and it's pulled down a lot of the ceiling tiles from the front, and they're a little slow to make the repairs. Other than that, they're awesome and very helpful. They've been very accommodating to my mother and making adjustments when needed. They also have outside events like car shows and a band that comes in and plays. They keep them not only busy but entertained. They worked out a very good deal for my mother based on her income at the time. So at this point, the cost has worked out in her favor. It's an awesome facility with great access, great entertainment, and great food. It's in our budget and it's close to our home.

I like that the Genesis Village is very spacious. The hallways are wide. You don't feel like you're in a home. It's just really open, and that's the best part I liked about it. The price is right as well. You're in the middle of the community, you have access to everything, and you're allowed overnight guests. They have private rooms for guests. They have a banquet area that you can use anytime for a party, and you can bring your family together or whatever. The people are nice. As I traveled, I visited six different places and all the other ones seemed to be in a country, and this, as they say, is in the city, and I'm familiar with the area, so I just felt more at home there. It was very, very clean. It was the only facility that had a pool and a hot tub. I was very interested in the pool for exercising. The dining area was very big and open. It's very formal-looking. I liked it. I didn't feel closed in. It was not like a dining hall; it was like a banquet room.

We went to Genesis Village. We were very, very happy with that, but that's too expensive for what we were looking for. But they were exceptionally nice. They seemed to have a Christian background, which was good, and the place is beautiful, really, really nice. I believe our interviewer was the owner of the establishment and his wife was working there too. I believe he was involved in the ministry. They were nice people. They had everything. They had a little library, they had a little movie theater. They had food, three meals, and beyond. They had housekeeping. I think it might have been only twice a month, but the place was really clean and the people were very nice.

Genesis Village was very impressive. It is an old Holiday Inn, and it's beautiful. I would give them a five out of five in everything. It was just an independent living facility. They don't have skilled care, that's why we didn't go there. I did eat there, and the food was very good. The staff was accommodating.

Genesis Village was nice. However, it was more of a retirement place, and my brother is going to need some care. It's a big place. Everybody we met was nice. The rooms were all nice, and they're all about the same price. It's a hotel that has been renovated. There is a tower that I believe is mostly independent living, and then there is the ground level. My brother likes the fact that you could get a view because it's a hotel and it went up to like seven stories. We only met with the coordinator -- the person who gets people in there -- and she was very nice.
