The Residence at Village Greens

Katherine

The Residence at Village Greens is very comfortable, very nice, and very organized. The staff is always smiling and very happy. The colors of the rooms, the hallways, and decorations, and stuff are very light, bright, and inviting. We get three meals a day, and they're excellent. Since I've been here, there has not been one meal that has not been good. It's been wonderful. It's kind of staying on vacation. I have a one-bedroom apartment, which is very spacious. I was surprised. I have a full kitchen. It has a washer and a dryer combo. It has a full refrigerator, a full stove, an oven and microwave, and a wonderful sink with a shower kind of a faucet. It has three closets besides the regular cabinets that you would get in a kitchen. You would pay an extra $20 or $25 for a storage unit that's in a separate area. The bathroom is wonderful. You can put a full-sized wheelchair through the door, and you could turn around. The shower is excellent. It's huge, and it has a seat that's very comfortable, not just one of those little tiny seats that fold down. It has a sort of handicap chair. It has a closet for your towels and other supplies that you would need, and a cabinet under the sink for beauty stuff or whatever. It's a very nice-sized bedroom. I just can't get over how nice it is. I've talked to other girls who have just a studio, and they have said it was adequate. There's been one or two that might have switched to a one-bedroom as they opened up and became available. They have a beauty salon and a nail salon here. They have a library upstairs. They have a community room where they do bingo, crafts, and things like that. They have what they call the 19th hole, like, if you missed a meal or you wanted to come in and have a snack or something after being outside, you'd come in and have a soda or bag of chips or something, and they're charged to your room. They have a beautiful lobby area. Even the upstairs common areas are very spacious, have a lot of windows, a lot of light, and are very nicely decorated and spacious. It's very clean. They clean your room once a week. If you want them to, they will make your bed, whatever needs to be done. They have many activities during the day of what you want to do. If you're the type of person who likes to participate in things, they have a good selection, if you're into doing puzzles, knitting, crocheting, playing cards, and bingo. They really have an assortment of things. They also offer maybe a trip to the local grocery stores, a trip to Bosco's, and other kinds of shopping kind of thing. Almost every week on a Friday or Saturday, they have some kind of entertainment come, singers or singing groups, choral groups, or something like that. There should be something here for everybody. It is expensive, but I think in my estimation, it's worth the money that you're paying when you think that they have to pay the wait staff or people that are serving you dinner. It isn't a buffet-style dinner. It's served to you. Your cable and TV, internet, and the little extra things that you need to have add up, so therefore your bill is a little bit higher, but I think there's nothing that I see as far as wasted money.

I will move into The Residence at Village Greens. I liked it a lot. It's very nice. The people are nice. The rooms are beautiful. They're very modern and cozy. I tried their food and it's very good. They have a good chef. The facility itself is beautiful. They really take care of it. It's all decorated for Christmas now and it looks beautiful. I think the people are their best feature. They're very friendly and upbeat, and so is the staff. They're very nice, too.
