Horrendous, unfriendly, and incompetent staff. A staff member working here administered an ungodly amount of morphine to my 87 year old grandmother who overdosed. BEWARE if you want to keep your loved one safe.

My parents have moved into University Village Retirement Community. We chose it because of the location and ease of transfer because my dad was in the skilled unit receiving physical therapy and they were able to transfer him to assisted living. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. They communicate very well with family members and the residents. The food is good. My dad is very picky, and he likes the food. He just says it's way too much, which is a good thing. The layout is great. They do housekeeping once a week, and they wash the flat linens and bring those back. Everything seems very well-kept and up-to-date. They have exercise classes, social activities, game rooms, a chapel for services, and a beauty shop. My parents haven't gotten too involved in the activities, but there seems to be quite a variety of activities.

University Village Retirement Community is a really nice facility. We're very pleased with them. They are one of the cheapest, but they were really good. We might be more inclined towards the cottages that they have. There are good sized, one-bedroom and two-bedroom. Everything was clean and updated. It's a real community, there's like 80 cottages or so. They have independent living in cottages and in the building. They also have assisted living and then rehab. It was on 30 acres in a really nice area. The dining area was very nice. We saw a nice indoor activity room where people were doing shuffleboard. My wife recognized one woman from church years ago, and she says she loves it there. She and her husband are residents there. They have a shuttle bus that was taking them around, so that was a plus for them. The staff was very professional. The woman I talked to had done this for many years. She's been managing and escorting people for years, and really likes working there. She has worked at other retirement places in the past, and she said this is the one she enjoyed working at. The independent cottages have a nice kitchen and a nice washer-dryer inside. They have fairly large closets, and one room is smaller than another room. There's ample space, I think they're probably 1,000 to 1,200 square foot cottages. They weren't tiny; they were decent. There's four in a building, like a four plex. Each one has a front and back. Some of them had a little bit of a patio on the back, and they are fenced off for dogs. They were pet friendly. They're decorated, and some even had a covered back porch depending on which one you are in. Among the four places I saw, that would probably be the one I want my sister to go to. They updated quite a bit of it recently, so it looks really nice. They had a really nice media room slash theater room, which can probably seat up to a hundred people. They can use it for speeches and presentations. It also has its own chapel.

University Village Retirement Community was the one I like the most. They have individual cottages with an actual separate living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. Size-wise, you had room for a bed, a dresser, a nightstand, a couch, and a chair. The kitchens were all with standard-sized equipment as compared to some places where the refrigerator was half the size of a normal refrigerator and counter space might be 5 feet long with a sink, and that was it. They offer one meal a day, not three, so you have to do your own cooking, so that's why they were doing pretty much full-sized kitchen equipment and refrigerator. The lady that showed me around was very nice and very knowledgeable. There are quite a few of these little cottages from one-bedrooms to two-bedrooms. They have an assisted living tower area, and those did have three meals a day. It sounded like you could transfer from the independent living in the cottages to the assisted living, which is the big tall building. It wasn't like you have to move out of there and go somewhere else to a different facility, so I like that. We toured all the facilities. The dining room was nice. A few people were waiting, and I thought it was kind of weird because it was like 10:00 in the morning and they were waiting for lunch. The staff showed me the kitchen area, the staff, and the dining area. The place was clean. I loved the little cottages and the activities. It was very, very nice. It was just priced a few hundred dollars more a month than I would be comfortable with. The staff who toured me around was very nice and very knowledgeable. She answered questions and didn't try to take me in areas that were only positive look. There were a few areas that were needing a little repair that they were working on. They take care of the grounds, and they take care of the cottages. She showed me everything. Everything looked like it was well maintained. The other thing I like, too, is that they had covered parking. I still have a car and I hate to leave it out in the weather. Not all places had covered parking, so I thought that was nice. Of course, that was an extra $50 a month or something like that, but at least they had covered parking. If you could afford it, you have a place to keep your car out of the sun, the rain and the storm, and such.

My brother is at the University Village Retirement Community. The experience has been great and we liked everything about it, the location, the physical facility, and mostly the people in the facility. The staff is excellent and very friendly. His room is perfect. The maintenance and upkeep are great. The food variety is lovely and the presentation and everything is just great. They had anything he would be interested in.

My husband and I are both at University Village Retirement Community. I'm at the independent living while my husband is at the nursing home. It's clean, people are friendly, and the food is good. I like my cottage and it's well-kept. I'm in the cottage away from the big building, away from the nursing home section. The staff is very friendly and caring. They play bowling, bridge, and bingo. They have exercise classes and I'm sure there's more. I bring my food back to my cottage, but their dining room is very spacious and nice. It's a very good value for the money. My husband said he's receiving wonderful care.
