The Arbor at Port Warwick

Melanie

We toured The Arbors Independent Living. It was a very nice facility. There were a lot of things that we liked about it. The rooms were a good size and a nice location. They do have the meal situation, but it was something like I think it was 30 meals a month were included. Then you just decided how you wanted to do those. I think whatever the meal plan was, it was certainly something that we knew would work. They didn't require a reservation, so that was good. They have 24/7 security, which is nice. The unit that we looked at was in her price range and was too far away from the elevator, and we knew that she would end up just never leaving her room. There was one that was closer, but it was going to be outside of her budget.

My mother is staying at The Arbors Independent Living. The facility is nice, bright, and cheery. She's got a nice little apartment with lots of sun. They will bring her food to her room if she wants it, but it's for a small charge. She walks with a walker, but she can't walk too far, so they've done that for her, and probably for other people there, too. The staff is nice. I like the staff. They'll take the residents out to different places for activities. They have people come in for different things. They have bingo, puzzle rooms, and a library. Sometimes the food is good, and sometimes it's okay. It sort of depends on what you get. I wouldn't say it's the best in the world. The staff members are good to my mom.

We visited The Arbors at Port Warwick. It was a great location and it's where my dad would have wanted to be. He felt like there was everything there that he needed, the people were wonderful, and the grounds were beautiful. It's just that there were a couple of things they didn't include that some other places did like cable. My dad also felt that they were a little more expensive than when he had previously checked them. He's interested in their independent living so that's what we looked at. He is not at a point yet where he needs assistance. The person who showed us around did a wonderful job. She's just very professional, knew the facility well, and she told us about things that he was interested in. It was a great, great experience.

I liked The Arbors at Port Warwick. They were very nice. I wouldn't mind living there. It was very pleasant and I liked the idea that you don't have to pay a great big upfront fee. Their rooms looked very nice. The whole place was pleasant. If I had to go somewhere, I could go there easily. The lady who did the tour was nice, very pleasant, very thorough, answered all my questions, and showed me everything I wanted to see. It's got several floors, so you get on an elevator to go up then come down. I wouldn't care much about that, but I liked the fact that it was across the street from a little park where they have music and stuff. You can either go over there or you can just raise your window and listen to the music. They had a nice library, too.

An organization I belong to has meetings here. We've had breakfast and lunch meetings. The food is terrific. We have taken tours of the apartments. Love the apartments, full kitchens. The amenities are terrific. all utilities are included except phone and cable. They have transportation to take them to shows, shopping, medical appts. Lots of activities. The staff including the manager are very nice and caring. I would love to live here and have told my family at some point I'd love to be here.

Our visits at The Arbors at Port Warwick were very positive. They had good coffee and good meals. They had good rooms and activities for the residents. We see people together in the common rooms and activity rooms. They had a nice library and billiards table, people were using that, and we saw people putting jigsaw puzzles together. They took people to the Fergusson Center for concerts and things like that. The main thing that attracted us was the location, right across the street from a large park we’ve been going to the for concert square, art centers and restaurants in there. It was all just a block away. I met the front desk woman, another woman who gave us the tour, and the dining staff, who were all very good. The place itself was very clean.
