I've been staying at The Remington at Valley Ranch for seven years. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't be here. We have country music, movies, games, and puzzles, and go out to eat early dinner or lunch. We have bingo, bridge, and farkle, and people come in and talk to us about various things either health-wise or on books or plays. If you want to, you could be busy all the time. My apartment has a small kitchen with a refrigerator, a stove, a sink, and a small closet to keep food and snacks. I have a large bedroom, combination of living room-dining area and an extra room where I have my books and my computer. There are two closets in the bedroom and one in the living room. I have a large bathroom with the shower with handles. In the bathroom, there is a washer and a dryer. The staff is absolutely fantastic and bend over backwards to try and make life pleasant for you. If you want anything to do or think everybody would like to do, you talk to the staff about it and they will try to arrange it. We're on the outskirts of Dallas, so there's a lot of stuff going on. They will take us any place we want to go. Also, the food is excellent.

Remington Valley's staff and rooms were OK. There's nothing outstanding. They had things going on all the time. Everything's OK. They play cards, go places, and play dominoes. You're only allowed two meals, but you can have three if you want to pay for extra.

I was impressed with the staff and the way the apartments were setup at the Remington. The food was really good. My in laws had a two bedroom apartment with a bathroom in each bedroom, it had a full service kitchen, a living room, and they had the option of going down to the dining room. They had two different kinds of church services, a card table, a pool table, and a swimming pool. They also did outings.

My daughter-in-law's mother had a number of friends living here at The Remington at Valley Ranch. When I was ready to make the move from the house, I came over here and was impressed. When I first moved in, there was a woman who was in charge, and she did an excellent job. The place is spic and span and everything is really top-notch. The food is excellent, and the staff is very caring. Unfortunately, we were sold to another company, and it's strictly business for them. No one has stopped caring here, but overall, it is a business for these people, which is reflected in some of the things they do or don't do. The food hasn't changed; it's still really good. Some of the staff had to take shortened hours, and they left because they couldn't make it. We have bingo, people come in -- not as often as they did before -- to entertain us, we have parties, and we just had a barbecue. We have exercises three times a week. We have an exercise room and an outdoor pool, but we were just informed that if we have an accident here, whether it is our fault or not our fault, it will be our fault. They're not going to take any responsibility even if something is not working correctly. It's very expensive to live here, and every year, the rate keeps going up and up. There's nothing wrong with my apartment; it has not changed, and I really like it. The gal that comes in and cleans it is really nice and does a really good job.

At The Remington at Valley Ranch, the staff was OK. I would say they were solid, and they knew about their facility. They have all sorts of stuff. They have trips and fields trips to the museum in the city.

We got my dad in a nice place at Remington. It is clean and it is close to me. Their service is really good. They make him feel welcome. They check on him if he needs anything. He has a nice and clean little apartment. The appliances look good. The carpets are clean too. Regarding food, my dad seems to enjoy it even though he does like to go out a lot.

Remington was very nice but the apartment I looked at was way too small. The staff was very nice and it was a pretty community. I saw the exercise room and I liked it. I saw the swimming pool and they told me about some of the activities. I was shown a large dining room where you could have your family.

The Remigton is a lovely independent living, it's a great community and they have wonderful grounds. It's very clean and very well kept. I was really impressed with it. The people have been very helpful on the initial move in. I think the food is very good; they serve two meals a day, breakfast and lunch or dinner. They had great activities, they take you out to cultural activities, not only WalMart or the grocery stores on Fridays. They have church service on Sundays. It�s in a great location in terms of doctors, shops and everything right in your fingertips.

We chose Remington at Valley Ranch for my mother because of its location and it was nicer than the other ones we've visited. The staff is very helpful, and friendly. The rooms were all freshly painted and carpeted when she moved in.

I was driving and I spotted The Remington at Valley Ranch. I went inside for a visit. The staff who assisted me was really friendly. The place was pretty nice. I had no idea if they had activities but I saw there was what looked like a tennis court. I was not able to check the rooms. I saw the residents and they were a little older than me. They seemed friendly and talked to each other. My visit was really short. If someone asked me about this place, I would recommend it.
