The Abbey at Westminster is lovely. My husband is in the assisted living. He has his own caregivers that were not part of the facility. They have lots of activities, but he doesn't participate. The food is good.

The assisted living of The Abbey was depressing, and the room was smaller than a cruise ship cabin. I didn't like their refrigerator, and I didn't like their kitchenette; it looked like it was a second thought. They do offer a rehab wing. Their meals were outstanding, and the staff was outstanding. However, it's an awful long walk to the dining room. It was multi-story, and the only way down was an elevator. I would have to get a room on the first floor.

The Abbey at Westminster Plaza is relatively new. It had a unit that I liked very much, and the people who I met were very informative and professional.

We liked The Abbey at Westminster Plaza. It's beautiful, well-kept, and well-done. The staff was kind and friendly, and they took the time to show us around. The rooms are OK and not bad; it was acceptable. They offered shuttlem and they would take you shopping and doctor's appointments. The dining room was nice.

The Abbey was pricey and smelled good. They were taking care of the patients and the property. Everybody seemed well maintained, bathed, and had clean clothes on. They would try to engage them in activities on a daily basis with bingo, dominos, and simple coloring. Jessica showed us around and was very knowledgeable and tried to answer questions about insurance. My father is adjusting to the new surroundings and new people. The dining area is fine. These people pretty much need to be fed, and the portions to me are small, but it’s fine. My dad is not a big eater, and we just supplemented his meals with Ensure and that really helped him. They make sure they get little snacks, too.

The Abbey at Westminster Plaza was nice and high end. When you walked down the hall, it was like you were at the Four Seasons. It was fancy. They were across from a hospital and had lots of different kinds of ways to keep their residents busy. When we were there, I was told that they were watching a movie somewhere.

The Abbey at Westminister Plaza was very nice. It was very nice. It was like the Taj Mahal of assisted living place. It was very fancy. The staff was very nice. She gave me a big tour. I really like it probably the best. It was more expensive. The only thing I didn’t like about it was that it was really large. For some people, that’s probably really good, but for my parents, it was probably not because it was so large.

We found The Abbey at Westminster Plaza senior living for my father. Right now, my father’s needs are all being fulfilled by this facility. We are very satisfied with them. The food and the companionship my father has with other seniors stand out to me.

We choose The Abbey at Westminster Plaza for my parents. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The rooms are first class, brand new, and have the latest technology. They have the best food I sampled from all the places I checked. They have a phenomenal theater room, an in-door pool, a beautiful workout facility, a trainer, a nice patio, and an ice cream parlor.

The Abbey is fine but they didn't really have a two-bedroom unit available. They just had a bedroom, a living room, and then an open space for a day bed. It wasn't exactly what I needed, but it was real nice. I saw an exercise class and I saw a bridge game going on.

My Dad lived at The Abby for almost two years. For those who have loved ones in a facility, we know how difficult it can be at times for the staff and caretakers at these facilities, and yet we still would like to think that our loved ones get the love and care that they need and deserve. We feel so blessed to have had our Dad at The Abby. From the Administration, to the front desk personnel, to the dining personnel, to the health and nursing personnel, to the maintenance personnel, to the cleaning personnel.............everyone seemed to always have a happy, caring, loving attitude. What a wonderful feeling to know that our Dad lived out his life there in the care of these amazing people.

I am currently living in The Abbey. I like the facility a lot more compared to others. I like the people around. The staff are helpful and friendly. The people in the community are educated and fun. I like how the apartments were setup. I got an apartment with one bedroom and a kitchenette with a microwave. I have a refrigerator inside, too. The food is 99 times fantastic out of 100.

My mom has been at The Abbey at Westminster Plaza for a number of years. It's a very nice facility in terms of its appointments, but whoever designed it had no concept of older people and the needs that they would have. The layout is very poor and the use of space is horrible. They have a very large bathroom but stupidly laid out because you have to crawl over the bathtub to get into the shower. The cabinets are all open with no doors. They have a kitchen area for a house, and it's got a huge island in it. It's a 1,000 square foot apartment but as far as usable space, it's wasted for the most part. The cabinets in the kitchen are way too tall for old people to reach without getting on something so it's just a waste of space. It's a very nice facility, much more like a Las Vegas upscale hotel than it is a facility for older people. They have two elevator stations in the building which were not conveniently located and the hallways were miles long. You look at them and they're maybe like 200 yards long. The staff is nice and seem to be attentive. They have a chef and he tries, but the quality of food is diminished since my mom has been there. They have lots of activities, and my mom does yoga. They have crafts classes, movies, and outings. The activities going on are wide and varied.

We liked The Abbey at Westminster Plaza because it was an independent living place, not a nursing home. The room that we saw was nice, spacious, and convenient. I liked that they had a gym and a pool. The dining room was a little dingy, but the exercise area was brand-new compared to the dining room, which seemed to be the oldest part of the building.

The Abbey at Westminster Plaza fit our needs. We wanted a three-bedroom, two and a half bath, but the actual living/dining room was small. We ate there a couple of times, and the food and the presentation seemed to be acceptable. I would like to have a better coffee machine, but overall, we think the place is fine.

The independent living of The Abbey is absolutely beautiful. The dining room is beautiful, and they have lots of amenities, but I had trouble with the washer and dryer, and I can't reach it. They had a menu like a 5-star restaurant. It was expensive, but it was justified.

The Abbey at Westminster Plaza was beautiful. The staff was really helpful. We met the residents, and they were lovely. The athletic facility was lovely, and the food was top-notch. I cannot say anything bad about it. It was lovely and brand new.

The one that I will ultimately go to is called The Abbey at Westminster Plaza. The thing that I like best about it is it's close to my son. He is about two miles away, so it makes it much more convenient for me. The people were very nice. The lady did show me all the amenities of the place. They did have activities. There was a large game room for various activities and a place for a little store for general needs. They have a beautiful indoor pool and a heating pool, which I need. They would provide three meals a day, seven days a week. It looked like a nice place to live.
