Grandview Village

Grandview Village seemed to be a very nice facility. They've got very nice people. I don't know anything about the food other than what they told me. They seemed to have activities and exercises. Their transportation was down at the time, but I'm guessing it's probably functional again. The rooms were unfurnished, but they seemed very nice. It looks like they have an emergency button on the wall for them to use like in a hospital. The staff was very friendly and very helpful.

There was less activity at Grandview Village than any of them that I went to and that I didn't care for, but the people were nice. The lady that gave me the tour was wonderful and the person at the front desk was wonderful, but there was nobody around and there were no activities at all. I thought "Are people just kind of stuck in their rooms here?" and they weren't all gone like on a bus trip somewhere or anything like that because I asked. It was very dark inside, too. That neighborhood I happen to know is not the best either. I would never have my mom live there just because of the neighborhood alone. I was not impressed by the place itself. I was turned off right away. Their rooms were kinda old and grungy like they need to remodel and just very small. In the middle of the complex, there's a garden, and that was the nicest thing about the place. The rest of it was just awful. I think they need to offer more activities because they had absolutely nothing going on. The staff was wonderful. I don't know what they're like if you live there, but the staff was nice. It was a very short and quick tour compared to all the other three I went to. It was the quickest tour of all of them. They say they have art classes, religious services, exercises, and bingo, but there was absolutely nothing going on at that time. I saw two people that live there that I just passed in the hall and then two employees, and that was it. It was a nice tour, but it was super short. It was very quick in and out. I felt like the staff wanted me out of there, but she was very polite and she has called me back. The dining room looked nice, but I didn't think the rooms were all that clean. The garden was all they had to offer. I believe they allow pets and that's a plus, but it's not a dealmaker or breaker either. They just need more activities and things to keep these people stimulated. They seem to be lying in their rooms all day.

When I took my mother to look at Grandview Village in Marysville, I had already look at a few other places. I really liked Grandview Village, it was small so she would get lost in a crowd. We looked at a couple of studio apts. and chose the layout we liked best. I decorated it so it didn't look like a bedroom in the living room area in a cottage theme. Since then her apt. has become one of the show apts. The staff is great, I can't say enough about them. My mother has had some challenging issues with her health and they have all been so good in helping us with them. I don't think I would have gotten through some of them without their help and support. Before Covid-19 activities, Teresa the director had activities every day and would take them shopping. I would come in once a month to do a crafting activity for whoever wants to come. They also had music on Saturday and the staff would join in on the dancing. There is always something going on for holidays even now with the Covid. The staff would dress up in a theme and parade through the halls. It is truly a fun place. If you are looking for a good caring assisted living facility Grandview Village in Marysville is the place to start. I give them an A++++.

My mother used to live at Grandview Village. It was OK. She just needed more personal care. They had exercise classes, bazaars, and a performer would come in and sing. They had quite a bit there. Half of the staff members were great, but the other half I could do without. They need to be a little bit more organized in some areas.
