Our experience here has been great. The meals are wonderful and the housekeeping cleaner is great.

Our experience here has been great. The management is excellent and always willing to help in any situation. WE are very satisfied with our little place. When we've been out and we're coming back it just feels like we're coming home.

Excellent

Staff is outstanding, especially [names removed] . All are helpful and courteous. I especially like Thirsty Thursday with live entertainment and karaoke. Wonderful activities with card games (bridge, hand and foot, etc ) yoga, pool, aerobics, art classes, and various field trips. General atmosphere of friendly residents. Facility is beautifully decorated and runs efficiently under maintenance supervisor, [name removed] There is nothing [name removed] can’t fix. Housekeeping is outstanding. All in all a well run facility!!! Only negatives: could use more variety in food, more seafood, less heavy sauces, but meals have improved in recent months. Chef is working to make improvements. Also accepting residents with mental and physical disabilities is not a good image for Verena/Gilbert!

It's like being home!

The staff is more than staff, they are family. The care that they gave my folks was kind, loving, and caring always! The folks were always warmly welcomed everyday, and checked on if they hadn't been seen in awhile. The apartment was big and bright and meet the needs of my folks. There are so many activities that they could be part of to keep them busy. I would give Verena of Gilbert the true seal of approval. Blessings

Community ROARING with Fun!

This community is absolutely amazing. My mom moved in a few months back and we can't believe how busy she is now with everything on the Social Calendar. Our families favorite time to visit is for Thursday Happy Hour's. They typically have an entertainer, serve drinks, and dance. I cannot believe how lively this community gets during that time. You do not want to miss out on all the fun.

What a breath of fresh air.

Verena at Gilbert is not like any other retirement community I have toured. It is resort managed and it shows through and through from the delicious food to the abundance of activities offered. The beach entry to the pool is the perfect touch. It’s just like being at a resort. The people were friendly and kind. I am looking forward to making Verena at Gilbert my home.

Friendly, helpful staff

The staff is outstanding. Friendly, professional, caring - all are interested in the residents' welfare. Cleanliness needs attention: Dirty windows and carpeting are a concern. Rules are not always implemented, such as dogs wandering without leashes, walkers being stored in public hallways the the dining room causing safety hazards.

Best We Found

My wife and I lived in two other communities before we found Verena at Gilbert. The first two had great expectations but we never saw them. We have lived in Verena for two years now and are still very happy here. Management is open to change to make it better and are both friendly and honest. Maintenance is prompt to fix any problem that may occur with the facility. The Common Areas are kept clean and the Food is great. Activities abound and if you are bored, it's your decision to be. Maybe it took two mistakes to appreciate what we found in Verena.

People

All the employees and residents have been very friendly and helpful. Coming from my own home I'm first getting accustomed to apartment living. I really don't like most of the food. The apartment are very generous in size. My dog is not happy here. As soon as I walk out of the apartment she keeps barking. Just hope she does not disturb other residents.

good place to be

Nice rooms, safe facility. bus take you many places. Food service is good. Activities are many so plenty to do. You can also rest and do nothing. Cost is comparable to living in a house with maintenance, food and utilities.

Activities Fill Our Days

While the facility and the residents and staff makes living here congenial and comfortable, it is the variety and number of activities that makes life here enjoyable and satisfying. There is always something interesting to do. And the community is large enough that you can slip away for some quiet time when you need it.

Verena at Gilbert

The staff is very friendly. When short on servers in dining room staff pitches in serving and cleaning up which I never did see at [facility name removed]. The dining room carpet is not cleaned very well often. The quality and quantity of meals has gone down since moving in. Not a lot of places for activities except for the dining room. Not many craft projects to make and take like at [facility name removed]

Beautiful well cared for community, happy staff, smiling residents..

The location is really great for my Mother as it sits directly across the street from Mercy Gilbert Hospital. When I took my mom to visit this community, I could tell the residents were happy as they were all sitting and eating together in the dining room. I noticed residents playing board games together in another room and putting puzzles together in a different room. The residents seemed very happy and talking together. The food looked delicious, and the Chef stopped by to say hello to us as we ate. The inside of the community is well cared for and clean. The curb appeal is well maintained. This is a great location for my Mom and we're happy to have her call Verena home.
