I toured The Craig Senior Living. I visited the independent living. It's a gated community and it's beautifully kept. It's a beautiful place. They have cottages as well as apartments, and it's all very well kept. The staff was excellent. They were very, very nice. I did not try their food. I've seen the residents play cards. They have a beautiful library if you like to read, and I do love to read. They go on a tour sometimes and the staff said once a week they go out to eat at a restaurant. If you want to go, you can sign up to go. They have all kinds of puzzles. The apartment I'm taking, somebody had lived there, and they had to move for some reason. So they are going to repaint it for me, and they're going to redo the floor and put in a new shower. Everything will be really clean, and I like that. The facility is beautiful and very, very well kept.

We looked at The Craig Senior Living. One thing they do is if you don't want to go to their cafeteria to eat, you can have the food brought to you. They have a cafeteria and several different areas of their different buildings because there's more than one, and you can go in any of them if you want to, so you can have a variety of menus depending on which one you go to. They have a grocery store, a pharmacy, and a doctor's office. On their premises, they have a doctor's office. They have eight buildings, and they are all connected by covered walkways. The facility was very nice. It felt homey.

My mom is living in The Craig Senior Living. Their staff has been very helpful. My mom was in independent living at The Craig and she needed to move. My dad passed away unexpectedly. We had to move her to assisted living, and then with her dementia, we thought she might need to go to a memory care. But they're being very accommodating for her and to her, so we decided it would be best for her mental stability to leave her there. It's a real, pretty campus with lots of room for outdoor walking and enjoyment. Everybody I talked to, including my dad before he passed, they just brag and brag on the food. There are quite a few recreational games, movies. They have their own hair salon. Their price is the same as the other places, if not better.

I was not impressed with Craig Retirement. I did not get a very good, warm fuzzy from this community. Not that it was bad, it just seemed like they put everybody in a big room, and I didn't see a lot of interactivities with the residents between the staff. I only saw one other staff member in the room, and I didn't get the homey feeling that I got with the other places. It was clean, but it was a little dated. They have a very small outside area, so they need to have a little bit larger area for the residents to go out. They didn't have a big outside facility. This is the memory care side, and I didn't see anything else, but I would like a little bit better outdoor facility for them to be able to go outside and interact out there. Some of the windows need to be replaced, and some of them had kind of like a fog look to them, so they need to update and clean up the windows in the great room. We saw a big room, and then we saw one shared room. The bedroom part looked OK, but it almost looked like an institution in the big room. It just didn't seem to have a whole lot to spark any interest from the residents. It's just like a big giant cafeteria/gymnasium look to it, and it wasn't inviting it all.

We had some friends who lived at Craig Retirement. You can have your own home, and they have independent living, assisted living, and all the way to the nursing home, which is great. We looked at two-bedroom apartments, and they were very nice. They have a cafeteria there, and everyone would go down to the cafeteria to eat. Their facility was very nice. The staff was excellent. The day we went it was lunch time, they took us to lunch, and the food was very good. They're very nice people. It was more expensive, and it offered some things.

We like the Craig Retirement. They had cottages and little homes, and that's what we liked about it. It had plenty of space, 2-bedrooms, 2-baths, and it was over 1400 sq.ft. It was situated in a pond right across from it. The view was lovely, and it's very close to the main building with the dining room and all the other extra facilities. The grounds were absolutely beautiful there. It had enclosed veranda, they've just redone it, it's all repainted, new carpet, and they're putting new appliances, so I guess those were the things we liked best. They had independent living cottages, independent apartments in their main building, assisted living, nursing home,and a memory care home all on the same property. Everybody we saw including some of the residents were friendly and happy, and everything was very good. They had a beauty salon, a barber shop, and a beautiful library with a fireplace in it. It was snowing yesterday when I was there, and the fireplace was going, and it was absolutely gorgeous. It's perfect. They had a fitness center, but they did not have a swimming pool. They had lakes, two different ponds on the property, and there's a bank in the main building. Their dining room is closed right now, so they're having to deliver the food to all their buildings and their units.
