We were able to tour Daniel Pointe Retirement Community's independent living and everything was very nice, everything was excellent. They provide meal service 24/7. You could get a meal any time, night and day, and we were very tempted to be there but the rent would have been just about double what we're paying in our current home. That would have taken all our pension and I didn't want to spend all our pension on one thing.
We also figure we would like to be in West Ashley more, where we currently live, versus getting stuck in Daniel Island. We could walk to places in West Ashley while in Daniel Island, you would need a car because you're sort of stuck out beyond the shops and restaurants. You'd need a car if you want to get anywhere. It's a very beautiful place though but it's not for us.
The person who assisted us during the tour was very pleasant and informative. We had an excellent meal during the tour. The place looks brand-new so everything was nice and clean. If you have ever been on a cruise ship, a fancy cruise ship, that's what this facility reminded me of. You walk in, it's a huge atrium, and all the facilities branch off to the great room. You can look up to the top floor because you could see the different levels. I think it was a 4 or 5 story building and you could see all the levels and all the quarters look like you were on a cruise ship. The lady said, "Oh, well good, you noticed that. That's what they had in mind when they designed it." It's like when you walk in, you're on vacation. You're not even at home, you're on a permanent vacation. It was just double the price and we couldn't afford that. That's great if I was a millionaire.

I visited this facility
Daniel Pointe Retirement Community was pretty nice. There's nothing noticeable in their Covid protocols. They had a nice fountain in the center of the lobby, which was kind of viewable from the upper floors. They had a koi pond there. It's a nice touch. The apartments weren't quite as nice as the other place, but they were still nice. The place was clean. The staff was professional, but their business model was a little confusing because they do a lot of privatized home care instead of assisted living. You kind of have to seek out and figure out what your care needs are. She did an OK job of explaining it, but I wasn't entirely sold on it. The dining area looked pretty nice. There was an area behind the building where you could look out over the water and you can see that from the dining area, and that was nice. They had libraries and some nice rooms where the residents were kind of mixed in. They had a salon.

My husband and I are very happy here. Our apartment seems spacious, the balcony and view are great and Martin takes care of our maintenance needs. The food is outstanding. Only problem is the weight you can gain if you are not careful. The meal socialization is very important to us and it is almost always possible to find someone to eat with and talk to. I take daily exercise classes and my husband enjoys his walks on the nearby trails. We take advantage of the lunch and event outings as often as we can. We seem to be very busy. This is a great place to be at this stage of our life.

Daniel Pointe is very nice. They take really good care of my sister and we're very pleased with the place. She has participated in yoga in their fitness center, and there are walking trails around the property. The food is very good and she's enjoying having everything so easily available. They also have amenities like a library.
