We love Cherry Laurel. [name removed]the manager is great. They do struggle to keep help on for cleaning and serving. Mom has been extremely happy. We have had meals with her and the food options are nice. I love the dining room. Mom goes to bingo. We had dinner with her last night and she said they were going to be going some renovations. I do think the activity room could be nicer. The staff is friendly. They just need more staff.... Read more

My mother in law is doing pretty good at this community. She is starting to get involved in some of the daily activities. The staff have been helpful. They offer a variety of food options and I was satisfied with the food. The community is clean and the grounds are well taken care of. I would recommend this community.

Mom is settling in and is enjoying the activities. They are having some help issues in the kitchen so the food is not always the best. The staff are very nice and willing to help. The new administrator is awesome. The community has beautifully kept grounds and the building is well maintained. They have call buttons for the residents. There is no one on site in the evening. I would recommend this community.

Cherry Laurel was a really nice community. Very clean and well-kept community. The landscaping was just beautiful. The inside was very warm and inviting and nicely decorated. My mom was not able to stay for very long due to the fact that they could not provide the extra care that she needed. Nevertheless, the staff was very friendly and caring and did their best to attend to her care needs. The food was very good and they provided activities and encouraged the residents to participate. I would recommend Cherry Laurel to friends and family.

The community is wonderful they offer a lot of services however mom chooses not to take advantage of most of them. They offer activities but there doesn't seem to be much variety it is the same things every day.They do have a neat feature it is the pet therapy day where cats and dogs come in and the residents can interact with the animals The staff is friendly and helpful and try to encourage residents to be social. Mom has used the onsite beautician and I thought she had done a good job but mom thought otherwise. The food is pretty good good portions.

Overall I think Cherry Laurel is a very nice place, unfortunately independent living just wasn't right for our loved one. But I would highly recommend them to anyone looking into independent living in the area! It's a nice looking, clean community, and the people all seem very friendly.

They've done an absolutely fantastic job so far at Cherry Laurel, I'd give them higher than 5 if I could! The staff here is fantastic, they're friendly, caring, and really seem to care about the people who live here. They really get to know both the residents and their families, and always know where everyone is if you ask! They've got all sorts of activities, and even the food is good! I also like that they have an on-site home care service available that you can use to get the level of care that is right for your loved one. My Mom wasn't really ready for full-time assisted living, but I'm able to use the care service here to schedule half an hour a few days a week just to check up on her. Our experience has been great here, and I high recommend it!

My loved one has only been here a short time, but it has been somewhat of a mixed experience so far. The facility itself is very pretty and well taken care of. However, there have been a lot of changes in the management staff recently and things have seemed a bit unorganized. My loved one has also said that they could do a lot better when it comes to activities, there are not nearly enough activities and outings.
