Village on the Park - Onion Creek

I went to look at Village on the Park - Onion Creek. The main thing is that everything is on the ground level, so every unit has access to the outside. It has an exterior door with a little patio or a little covered porch, which was a positive thing. They have an ambassador, who is a resident with responsibility to make sure information gets communicated if there's a problem. They work on getting that fixed with the maintenance. There's a lot of caring that goes on there. The staff was very knowledgeable, took her time, and answered any questions we had. She was very good. They had a nice sunroom where you could watch TV, spend time looking out at traffic or the birds, and have popcorn at certain times. They were having a birthday party in the community room for a resident who had family coming in, and they reserved the whole room. It was nice to see that the family was being well treated. I liked the rooms very, very much. It was an apartment with two bedrooms and two baths.

Village on the Park Onion Creek was chosen because my mother has an outside entrance with a patio -- we can go to the patio and visit her, so we don't have to go into the building -- and also the price. The main thing was the accessibility to visit. The staff members seem pretty nice. The room is quite large with a separate bedroom, nice windows, and a kitchenette. With COVID, the activities are extremely limited. They have exercise class, bingo, and she has joined a riders club. They were the nicest facility for the value.

I visited Village on the Park Onion Creek. They have individual cottages, and my mother-in-law has a dog. They're much more accommodating rather than having to go up and down the elevator five times a day to take the dog outside. The grounds were pretty. The particular cottage we saw was very nice, spacious, and had granite counter tops and a cute little patio. It's just like having a little house rather than living in an apartment. We thought the price was too expensive for what we're looking for. The services were the same as other places, like the transportation and activities are similar, but get more space and a patio. It's a beautiful community.

We were looking forward to moving into Village on the Park in Onion Creek, but the apartment that we wanted is unavailable, and we would have to pick a smaller one. The cottages are across the driveway from the main building and have a one-car garage and one-car carport each. They're very nice. The people seemed very happy, and the staff was friendly. I liked everything about the place. There wasn't much to the grounds, but the location was absolutely perfect for us.
