I think I would prefer to go to The Continental Retirement Community. I like the price and the physical look of the facility, and its location is convenient. It's very close to where I currently live, so I wouldn't have to adjust to a new neighborhood. The living spaces were not very large; they were medium-sized. I was looking at a one-bedroom-one-bath. They had a library, an activity room, and of course a dining facility. I had a meal there and it was acceptable. It was more casual dining like you would find at Applebee's or Denny's. The staff who assisted me with the tour was mostly knowledgeable. By her own admission, she had only been at that facility for about three months and was not familiar with the territory around it.

My friend lives at The Continental and I'm making arrangements to move there myself. I saw one room that was furnished and it was very attractive. And then I went to see the 2-bedroom apartment that my girlfriend had just recently vacated to move to a different apartment. The rooms were pretty spacious. I did meet with the staff who interviewed people who want to move to the residence and did the application. She was very pleasant and efficient. They served 3 meals a day, plus they had snacks available. They had a lot of card games, bingo, and exercise programs. It was not a new facility, but they were doing upgrades. But not every apartment has had an upgrade yet.

The Continental looked like an older apartment that was made into independent living. It was more hidden like there were a lot of trees and things around it. The staff who assisted us were very nice and very accommodating. They spoke highly of the place. It was a good tour. The dining area was right as you walked into the place, which I thought was unusual. And nothing was going on at the time. In comparison to the other community, it wasn't as open, light, and welcoming.

I visited The Continental and loved it. The person who accommodated me was really good and knew her stuff. We were there at dinner, and the food looked good. They had a library, game room, dining room, and a bus that takes them anywhere they want to go. They have all kinds of activities, I'm really impressed. If I get older, I want to go there. Its way above what is available in our area, so it's really great. They had a soup and salad bar, ice cream bar, and snacks.

I have nothing but good things to say about The Continental. I am very pleased. Making a change was a little bit traumatic, but there's nowhere else I'd rather be. The staff is wonderful and excellent. The food is also excellent. The facilities are great and I don't have any complaints or issues about the place at all. I've been doing their exercise class. I think the price is reasonable compared with the other places.

I am an 85 year old resident of The Continental Retirement Community. After my husband died in 2010, I lived alone for four years in my home in De Soto, Texas. Even with many friends, I found living alone was not the best situation for me. I have a son, his wife and one grandson living in South Austin, so this was the ideal place to resettle. Together we looked at several other facilities. The decision was easy, we found The Continental ideal for my needs. The thing that attracted me most was the friendliness of all the staff, the servers in the dinning room and all the residents we met. Another big attraction was having my own washer and dryer in my apartment. This has meant so much not having to go down the hall to do my laundry. I have lived here for almost three years and still love where I live. I feel as if God led me here to this great place. I am looking forward to many years at The Continental.
