Chancellor's Village

Chancellor’s Village was wonderful overall, especially the person who showed me around, Vicky, the sales person. Their amenities were beautiful, and it's a beautiful place. At the time, we were looking for my mother and brother, but they didn't offer any two-bedroom apartments, so that was the reason we didn't go with them, but we probably would have gone with them initially. They recommended the community where my mom is now. They have happy hours, bingo, they have people come in to entertain, and they have trips that they take to different activities in the community like the theater and things like that. The dining area was really nice. Everyone that I met there was extremely nice, and I was greeted by everyone I walked by. The place smelled good, not old or icky.

I loved this place. Although we did not choose it because they did not have any 2 bedroom apts. Roxanne was truly wonderful, upfront and honest. This would definitely have been my first choice if they had a 2 bedroom apt.

Chancellor's Village is very modern and well kept, has all the convenience, and is in a very nice neighborhood. It has a chef on duty and three meals a day. They clean your house once a week and have assisted living with 24/7 care. They have it all. The staff is excellent. Everything is very clean. However, the price costs more than I'm willing to pay right now. They have all kinds of things, but nothing I was crazy about. I've seen a studio and a two-bedroom with different layouts. They were small but enough for me.

Chancellor’s Village is my dad’s favorite place and mine too. The rooms were wonderful. It was the oldest building, but it had very nice-sized rooms with a nice layout. It had the largest kitchenettes of the places we visited and had a full-sized refrigerator, which we liked, unlike all the rest that had the end-of-the-counter type. They had balconies or patios for all of their rooms and an extra storage locker room for each resident. Their meals were the best; their soups and everything were made from scratch and fresh, and you can tell from the quality of the food that it was not frozen or processed. I liked that they mix their activities up. So, let’s say, if you like Canasta, one morning it might be at 10 o’clock, and then another time it might be varied to at 2 o’clock since not all of the residents want to get up early and go to Canasta, but they can catch it at a different time of day that suits them better. They have lots of activities off-campus and on-campus. They had the happiest staff and pride in their facility. They wore little name badges that had numbers on them for the number of years they have worked there, and we saw so many people with more than 10 years -- some 20. The only thing negative was that some of these newer places had the bistros so they have these little areas set aside for residents where they could come and get a cup of coffee, some water, and snacks like they bake cookies or put snacks out there and the residents can help themselves. Chancellor Village had a long table with the coffee and the water with the fresh slices of fruit in it and stuff, but it was not really its own little area; it was just like near the dining hall. If they can get the funds in the future to be able to build -- even if it is not on the assisted living side but on the independent living side -- a little café area where people can sit and grab a cup of coffee between meals.
