Arbor Village Senior Living

Arbor Village is a wonderful property. I like it because when you got your home, you would be able to stay there until your death. I've only talked to the sales people, and they were always pleasant and upbeat. The advantage of that property is that it's very close to my daughter and my granddaughter's home. I did look at one of the apartments, and the only thing lacking for me was there were no patios or decks. They do allow small dogs; I have a small dog, and it would certainly be easier for me to go out a sliding glass door and get on a walking path to take the dog for a walk. It was very well maintained, it's very clean, it's a newer property, and there are no nasty smells. In their independent living unit -- which is where I would be -- they have potlucks and bingo. They do a lot of stuff in the bus, and they allow the residents of that group to make a decision about what they'd like to do for outings and where they'd like to go. The apartments that I would start in have full kitchens. It has everything I expect, but what's lacking is the deck. They also have memory care and assisted living units.

Arbor Village is more of an assisted living community that she doesn't need at this time. I liked that if she needed to go into that type of living; she wouldn't need to be relocated again. I just like that it was nicely put together. It was clean, and they had friendly staff. We had lunch there; it was good. It had a very nice living accommodation. They have a library and a gym, but I didn't see a swimming pool.
