We liked the University Place. The tour was great. The rooms were homey and comfortable, but dated. The menu looked basic. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. Everything looked decent. If we move, we will probably go with University Place.

I was able to visit the University Place in Abilene. I liked it for my mom because of the price. The staff was very nice and very helpful. I saw the rooms, and they were very nice. The facility is very nice, very well-kept and clean. It feels like home. It's next to a lot of stores and pharmacies.

My parents like University Place very much. It's going very well, and the staff is very kind. They have a one-bedroom apartment, but they have a variety. They have very good food in the dining room, lots of areas for daily planned activities, cleaning staff comes in, an exercise room, a library, game rooms, and TV rooms.

I went to University Place, and I liked it. The layout and the size were better than the other place I visited. However, it was expensive. Also, there was no washer and dryer, and that's why I didn't move there. I saw people out and about, I saw the library, the movie area, and where they have the religion stuff. I saw the dining room, I saw several apartments, and the outside area.

I went to University Place. I thought it is very affordable. These are efficiency apartments, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments. It has a sitdown ready-to-order dining room hall for three meals -- i.e., for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You walk in, you sit at your table, they serve you a menu where you can order, and they bring the food to you just like a regular restaurant. Also you have housekeeping that comes to you twice a month, and you have daily transportation to the local shopping meccas, such as Wal-Mart and Target. I felt like it is very affordable. Also you have outside parking for your vehicles, but you have a shopping route to the shopping center if you’re not driving or if you don’t want to drive. Nothing is furnished, so you bring your own furniture, which is good. The only thing I didn’t like was that they don’t have the washer and dryer units in the unit; the washer and dryer were down the hallway. It’s a shared washer and dryer. That’s the only thing I don’t really care for.

My mom lived at University Place for six months. It was a bigger facility than the other she had been to. We chose it because it was accessible and they had transportation and different things going on. The room was beautiful, it was a two bedroom and two bathroom apartment. They probably needed more staff though. Nonetheless, I would recommend this to facility to others.
