Life Manor Independent Living was affordable. The facility was very clean. The one thing I didn't like was that the laundry room was on the first floor. They have a stove and a refrigerator, but there was no dishwasher. Everything was good. They have a library and a courtyard with tables and chairs.

We toured Life Manor Independent Living and my mom liked it a lot.
The office personnel was very warm, very welcoming, and very patient with all of our questions. They are very accommodating. My mom had a couple of issues. She is allergic to carpet fibers so they agreed that when a unit comes up, they will put vinyl flooring down.
We got to view one of the units. It was average, I think there's about 550 square foot 1-bedroom, and that's pretty standard. It had a kitchenette with a stove and a refrigerator. It didn't have a washer and dryer in the unit, which is kind of bad. It also didn't have a dishwasher.
They had a nice area where people could do their own gardening and grow flowers or vegetables. We noticed that some residents were kind of visiting each other in the hallways. They were sitting and just talking. People there seemed pretty friendly.
A couple of times a week, they offer rides to the grocery stores for some general shopping and groceries.

We visited Life Manor. The two-bedrooms were smaller than in other places, but they were very clean. It was quaint. The eating area was not as large, but it was very nice. The person who helped us was very good. The community was fine; it just didn't have the amenities that the others have. They had the food downstairs, and they had a little meeting area.

I visited Life Manor Independent Living and had a good tour. They answered every question, and they told me what I needed to know. They were very nice, and the apartments were nice and clean. The place had a vibrant atmosphere.

I've already chosen Life Manor Independent Living, but I just haven't moved in yet. They're great, it looks great to move into, and it is exactly kind of what I'm looking for.
It's in between three hospitals and walking distance to Wal-Mart and Target. The staff was very, very good, her name is Holly, and she was wonderful. The room was small, but they also have three meals a day there. I don't need a big kitchen; I just need enough for me and my dogs. It's big enough for us. I'm in a secure area and a secure building. I feel safe there and I feel very comfortable.
I didn't pay much attention to any of the activities right now because I just want to get settled in first and then I'll start looking for activities and stuff. From what I understand, there's a lot of fun and there's a church right there. So, I'm looking for that too. It is part of a church and a Christian school, so it's great. The perfect location.
They have a laundromat out of a community room, a TV room, and there's other stuff that they do that they have. It's right next to a park as well, perfect for my little dog. It's perfect for my budget, too, because I am on disability.

Life Manor Independent Living was alright but I didn't get a warm and fuzzy feeling about it. The apartment's layout was pretty good, they had a nice walk-in closet and there was a microwave and a little fridge. I think they offer meals too. We saw a 2-bedroom, a 1-bedroom, and a studio apartment. I think they also do light housekeeping.
There was no outdoor space, that's one of the things we didn't like about the place. There wasn't even parking for people who visited, you had to go park out in the street.
It looked over a football field or a soccer field because the Christian Academy is right next door, so they'd be looking over kids playing soccer. Other places have the medallion thing for safety where they could press it if something happens, they don't have that. The apartment was nice looking but when you look outside, it just did not appeal to us.

I visited Life Manor Independent Living, and for the amount of money that you pay, I don't think it's worth it. The size of the apartments was small, and it was just a studio, so it didn't fit me. As far as the person I dealt with, she was fine. They have a dining room, different card rooms, and other rooms. I believe the facility was well maintained, too. They didn't have any activities at the time because of COVID.

The cost of moving in Life Manor Assisted Living was cheap and reasonable; I couldn't believe it. Everything had been remodeled. It was nice and clean. The rooms were being remodeled too. The dining room was clean and nice. The staff member who showed me around was very good. She really wants me to move there. The food was very good. The place's physical appearance was nice, clean, and homey.

I moved in to Life Manor, and I liked the price because it was more suitable for my limited budget. The staff seemed very efficient, and so far they've been very friendly. They don't serve meals, but they do have a shuttle for shopping. I'm very comfortable here, and I have a small studio apartment which is the only space I need.

I opted for Life Manor Independent Living for my mom because it was inexpensive and a nice facility. They also served one meal a day which was unusual for an independent living facility. She had a studio apartment which I liked very much. They had social events and organized activities everyday so there was a lot of stimulation for the seniors. They also took the residents to the grocery store twice a week. One area that they need to improve is their dining room because their meals were prepared at the assisted living area and brought to the independent living area.
