Arrowhead Gardens

Arrowhead Gardens is pretty good because it's for 55 and older. They are well-kept. They have rooms from about $950 to about $1500 and I paid $1300 for mine. It's a small two-bedroom with a nice bathroom and kitchen. They're laid out pretty well, especially if you're single. They have a bigger two-bedroom for a person with a family who wants to come to visit. Once a month, they take them to casinos. They take them out to breakfast once a week, like different cafes. They take them on different trips. Twice a week, they would take them grocery shopping. They have a food bank every two weeks and from what I see, it's pretty good, but I don't use it. For those who don't have transportation, they provide that. They also have people on each floor that are responsible, like if we have a fire drill. If they haven't heard from anybody in a day or two, they will go ahead and knock and give them a welfare check. The staff is pretty good. They would have community things like for Thanksgiving and Christmas, where you would go and they would provide food. Other than that, we all provide our own meals. Every now and then, we would go to a little restaurant or something. The place is pretty clean. The building I live in is five stories. The people are very courteous. Nobody played loud music, and there were no fights, no fuss, and everything. Everybody else is pretty chill. For the residents here, I think the oldest one that I've talked to is 90 years old. We have a weight room. The other ladies have dance, and they have card games. You have people here always providing activities for the ones who want to participate. We have a TV room. We pay like $45 a month for cable and $15 for internet. Most people here are satisfied with the activities.

We went to Arrowhead Gardens. The person we met was great. She took a lot of time and showed us around. There seemed to be a lot of people on staff, so it was very efficient. They were really in charge of that place. They knew what was going on. The apartments were great. We loved them. The courtyards were beautiful. The apartments were really small for independent living. If you're just looking for a nice, compact little place, it was good. They also had meals available and a shuttle available for shopping. The grounds were well kept. What we didn't like is that there were a lot of people there and they were getting COVID shots, so it was a little bit more crowded. There was a big mix of people. It's very industrial, you wouldn't feel safe walking outside of that complex. It was tight and parking could be an issue. There was nothing around there to walk to. The staff said that they've had some homeless issues across the street that are being cleared out. We liked the complex itself. The facility was great. It's just a little too cramped. My mother wanted something that she could just walk to, so that dropped the score.

Arrowhead Gardens was a very clean and nice place. I liked the surroundings. There was a van that takes people places (which was a plus) and other activities for the residents. The staff was also friendly. Overall, they were good.

My mother will move to Arrowhead Gardens. I like that they have tons of activities, there are lots of residents around who were happy, and the location. I saw a one-bedroom and a few two-bedrooms. I liked the apartment. She got a balcony, so she's very happy. They have an activity room, rooftop gardens, a courtyard, a theater room, and at least one activity every day. We met a bunch of people waiting to go to the symphony organized by them. It seemed well kept up. Everything was clean, tidy, and in good repair. They provide some transportation.

I will be moving into Arrowhead Gardens next month. It seemed to be a pretty good value for the space, and I liked the open feel of the area that there's a lot of traffic around, but it's not right around the facility and the people seem to be friendly. I also liked the amenities that they offered and it seemed clean. They had forgotten that we were coming, so they weren't quite prepared, but they did a great job in spite of that. We had to wait for a little bit, then somebody was able to show us around. She was fabulous, very lively, and knew what she was talking about, and I liked her a lot. She also lives in the complex and I asked her which building was the most fun and she said the one where she lived. I said, "Well, then that's the place I want to live." My unit has a kitchen and I love to cook, so food or meals wasn't something thatas looking for. There are a lot of activities and I know that there are groceries. You can have somebody bring them to you or you can go grocery shopping. A bus goes to some of the neighborhood stores, and it is kind of nice. When my son and I were there, somebody was dropping off bags of groceries, maybe if you were short on funds that somebody was supplying some extra food, which I thought was nice. It was very clean and well organized, and the decorating was very tasteful. A washer and dryer are available, some units have them and some don't, but you can request one for an additional monthly charge, which isn't too bad. Some units have parking, but not all of them. There is an exercise facility on-site, and a really big gathering area, if you wanted to have a get-together or maybe a family dinner with 20 people or so. It's very well equipped with a couple of ovens and a refrigerator. That is something that I'm sure that I'm going to take advantage of.

Arrowhead Gardens was nice, well taken care of, and really big. I was in a wheelchair, and they had a really nice big shower, which would have been great for me. The staff was very friendly.
