The Ackerly at Timberland

The rooms at The Ackerly at Timberland were nice. The staff were very good people, and their activities seemed OK. They had all the activities there. It's newer and fancier, and if you can afford it that would be great. It's a little upscale for most people's budget, but it was super nice. They had a garden area as well. I would rate them a 5 because they're a newer and really fancy place. The staff was also competent, and I think it's a good location.

The Ackerly at Timberland was extremely nice, very modern, very clean, and very up-to-date. It is very close to a grocery store, as well as a mini-mall that has different things, which makes it very convenient. The grounds are beautiful with lots of green space. They have a beautiful physical therapy room that has all the equipment you could possibly imagine using; it is very nice. It has 24/7 front desk service, which I thought was really cool. The apartments themselves were small, and they didn't have a lot of windows, so there wasn't a lot of light coming in; however, the kitchens were nice. The kitchens were actually bigger than most of the apartments. They have full kitchens that have full stoves, full refrigerators, and microwaves. It was nice. There weren't any activities necessarily going on, but they gave us a calendar of what activities were available. They have their own movie theater, their own beauty shop, and their own game room. The staff was extremely friendly and caring. Every staff member we met was super friendly and seemed to know the names of the residents. The food was excellent too.

I was very impressed with Ackerly. The place is very clean and new. They also had a lot of activities going on, like exercises for the residents. My sister decided on this community because the size of the apartment is bigger, and they accommodate pets. The other thing that impressed me was that the food was really good, fresh, tasty, and healthy, which is really important.

The Ackerly at Timberland was just too much money. The rooms were very nice, and everything was brand-new. They had an actual bar in the facility, weight rooms, therapy rooms, and a game room. It was a progressive facility where you could start out independent or assisted living and then move on up to additional care if you need it, and they had memory care as well. The food was very good, and one of the things I was not impressed with was they actually had a menu with prices on it; you would pay whatever the price was on the menu, and I just thought that was not what I was expecting. The feeling that I got from it was they were a big corporation and that they were in it for the money and not necessarily for the care of the residents.
