Beverly 2021-11-16 My sister-in-law is at The Village Senior Living. It's very nice-looking. They're undergoing a total remodel inside and out. It's very clean and it's all wood paneled floor. They seem to have a staff that has worked there a long time, and they take pride in their facility. They're responsive, kind, and available. They have a lot of variety in their meals. They allow their residents to order off the menu any time (day or night), and even have it delivered to their room. It's truly like a hotel. They run it very well. She is in a studio, which is very nicely laid out and clean. I think it's newly painted, too. They don't have a stove in there, but they have a microwave. They allow them to have toasters if they want. They have a nice refrigerator, a lot of closet space, good natural lighting, and big windows. They also have a craft room. They have jigsaw puzzles laid out in the hallway area near the elevators, so anybody can freely do it. There was a cute little store that 's run by the residents, where they donate things and attach a nominal price to it, and so the residents and staff can shop there with really nice things, like beautiful tea set cups for 50 cents, albums, stationery, or all kinds of things. They do a gym day once a week. They have washer and dryer available and a spa (where they can come and get their nails done and a hairdresser that comes in). They have nice little shuttle buses to take them once a week to shopping, or they can reserve it and tell them where they want to go a specific place and they will take them there. The dining area is clean and orderly. They are taking really good care of the residents by only allowing two of them to sit together at a table during this COVID era, which lets them get to know each other better. My sister-in-law tells me that the wait people are just really sweet. Of all the comparisons I made, this one is probably one of the best values. It's close to where I live too, and it doesn't feel like you're living in an institution. It seems like a nice apartment building, like a hotel with hotel services; that's what it reminds me of. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

jimtaylor 2021-02-28 I am so happy to live at The Village Senior Living. It is 100% better than my last community I lived at. I appreciate the warm, fresh, tasty, home cooked meals that are made daily. They keep up our building and there is always hot water when I shower. They staff is always friendly and helpful. Thank you to everyone that helps keep our place running. I am/was a resident of this facility

NancyV 2021-02-19 My friend’s room was very big and clean. They staff was always friendly and helpful. We were worried about her health at home but she was well taken care of at The Village. Staff was always available, checking in on her and everyone new her name. She had made a new best friend and liked to do the craft contests. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

UC 2019-07-22 The Village Senior Living was fairly outdated, but they're doing renovations. It needed some work, and the layout right now is not the most accessible and inviting. The seniors didn't look as kept and as happy as all the other places, which might be because they're renovating, and the staff might have been down a little bit that day. The person during the tour was nice, friendly, and very informative. The food looked okay, and it was open bar day, so most of the residents were participating with that. They had an exercise room, a craft area, a reading area, and a TV area. The lady was very apologetic about the condition of things at the time. I visited this facility

JanB56 2018-09-22 When my Aunt first moved into facility, they did a nice job. However, facility has gone down hill over the last few years. Medications are not brought to patients consistently-resulting in 2 hospitalizations for high blood pressure in last 2 weeks. Baths are not given on the schedule, often Aunt doesn't get bath at all for more than a week. Kitchen has run out of food. Emergency bell does not get answered. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Marchris 2017-08-21 I liked the Village, including the rooms, and the plan for my father-in-law's care. I liked the pricing, because it's one price for moving in and an additional amount for everything, depending on your additional needs. I liked the location, it's close to us so we could visit him, or he could come home and go back anytime. They have different sizes of rooms available. We could also take him there for a day or two, if we need a break, or if he needs to get adjusted to the place. That was the best part, and I think that's a great plan. I visited this facility

Kathy256135 2016-11-25 I like The Village Senior Living, but it was inappropriate for my friend. I loved it though. If she could have gone there -- if she had been able to walk and just needed assisted living, not full time nursing -- that’s where I would have loved to have her go. When I sell my house, I’m very seriously considering going there. I really like it. I saw 2 different studios and a 1-bedroom. I thought that the planning of it was well thought out. The main dining room was on one floor; it was accessible with the elevator. If you couldn’t walk very far, they have a separate smaller dining room area on another floor. I was extremely impressed with The Village. The staff was extremely professional, very pleasant, and truly seemed to enjoy her work, which I think is always a plus. All the people had smiles on their faces. I visited this facility

Delores373514 2016-11-17 I decided to move into The Village. I liked the layout and the people working here. It was inexpensive compared to some of the others I saw which were prohibitive. They have all kinds of activities going on all the time. I met the person in charge of the activities committee, and I signed up to teach some things. I like to teach crafts and sew, and I've met people who do both here. I'll be able to volunteer and do some good in the community. The food is wonderful. They give you too much -- which is my only complaint -- but the variety and the way it's prepared is just great. The people who work here were so nice to me when I came, and everybody went out of their way to make you feel welcome, so it's great. Here, you have enough room for walkers and still get around wherever you need to go. I am/was a resident of this facility

Gary124259650 2016-05-10 I visited The Village and it's a much smaller facility. It has different levels of care and the fourth floor was the retirement place which right now, if I was interested, that would be it. It seemed nice, but it just didn't seem like a place I would be comfortable with. The food was very good. I just had a sandwich. Everything seemed good, the servers were very helpful and they checked right away if you needed anything else. They had in-room meals, if you needed it. They also have different dining rooms which you could choose from. There weren't designated seating, it was open seating. I visited this facility

SCMJVNIN 2016-05-10 I wasn't impressed with The Village. The location is kind of difficult to get into, and the area is not that good. The building is kind of old. I ate there. Compared to the others, I think I'll give them a 4 for food. The staff is average but nice. I visited this facility

Relative31 2016-03-28 The Village Senior Living is a very favorable, nice facility. My relative really loves it there. The place is very clean and very well kept, and I am very well pleased with it. The staff are very courteous, very professional, very friendly, and outgoing. The other residents are very friendly, too. The meals are very well-prepared. They have a very nice dining area, and sometimes there's music in it. It has individualized table service with waiters who come and take the orders. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Linda87214050 2014-06-25 The staff was very friendly at The Village Senior Living. I went to their Mother's Day brunch. After the brunch, they took us on a tour of the facility. They were informative and friendly. We looked at a one-bedroom and a studio. They were clean and adequate. It is an older building, but it looks like a nice facility. The residents looked happy.

hulahands992 2014-04-30 The Village was recommended to me so I toured this facility plus 4 others in the county. Of all the facilities that were shown to me, The Village’s Community Relations Director Kayla, was the most efficient yet compassionate; knowledgeable and genuine. She explained everything clearly and pleasantly plus gave a step by step process for the family in order to go forward with the multi-faceted process of a move for my mom. I felt comfortable and grateful to speak to someone of her care giving experience. Other professionals that I spoke to seemed more interested in getting our money rather than focusing on the care needs of a dementia patient. The rest of The Village staff were just as welcoming and seemed very happy at their jobs. In other facilities, some of the workers acted like they felt that they were overworked and underpaid. Kayla has excellent communication skills to help you navigate the difficult decisions involved with finding a facility for an aging parent. I will definitely look at The Village again, when it comes time for my husband and I to find an assisted living facility. I visited this facility

Silky1 2013-11-30 The Village Senior Living was a nice facility. The people there were dynamite. The staff working at this place from the maintenance all the way up to the top was great. We have no problem with them. As a whole, it wasn't bad but it just didn't fit my parent. I visited this facility

Sharon3 2012-04-27 I am very pleased with the service. Too good to be true and the place is very clean. The Food is very delicious and the snacks given were fantastic! They have provided wonderful service and the people were so nice. I will definitely recommend to other people what I have experienced. The Village is the one I like the best - Very very good!

Kerri 2021-11-23 We're going to move to The Village Senior Living. Judy, the staff who gave us the tour was very knowledgeable, very nice, very caring, and answered all the questions that we had. She just made us feel confident in our choice. The facility is beautiful. They're in the process of remodeling, and the new finishes are beautiful. There's a small patio that's accessible to the residents, as well as an open area inside where they can get together and meet. I visited this facility

Lorri 2021-08-06 We have chosen The Village Senior Living for my mother. I like the fact that it's a smaller unit. She has a bad hip, and she can walk; but everything is close together, so she doesn't have to walk a long way to go to the courtyard or go to the common areas. I like that they had private rooms. Mostly all the places I toured now, they have shared rooms; I don't like that. I like the staff. They're interactive, and you can tell they care a lot about the residents that live there. There's not a bunch of extra upcharges there. They have activities. They have their dining room, the common area, and a room to watch TV. I like it. I visited this facility
