Caring and organized from the beginning

From start to finish of the move in proceess and then the months that have passed by have been such a relief for my parents and I. My mother can go to activities in the building knowing that dad is just upstairs. She has taken to water color painting and my dad enjoys the music events that are held. I know they are eating well and my father gained some much needed weight but there are great food choices available and my mom has lost a few pounds since she can choose a balanced meal. They have both thrived and become a part of the community in their own ways. As for the apartment, it is light, bright and easy to keep up. The cleaning service is perfect for them. I cannot say enough on how happy we all are that we found Venena!!!

Thank you for sharing your heartfelt experience with us! We are thrilled to hear that the move-in process went smoothly and has brought such relief to you and your parents. It’s wonderful to know that your mother is enjoying the activities and that your father finds joy in the music events. We're also delighted to hear that they are both eating well. It's rewarding to know that they have both thrived and become integral parts of our community in their own unique ways. We’re glad the apartment is a perfect fit and that the cleaning service meets their needs. Your happiness and theirs mean the world to us. If there’s anything more we can do to support you and your parents, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

My experience overall is positive, but needs changes. can make it even better

My experience has been positive. The physical ""plant" at Verena is really nice, especially with the recent changes of new carpets, furniture etc. My concern is with services that are promised. We residents are charged A LOT of money month for services beyond rent for the apartments. We have been patient with the under-staffing because this happens everywhere. In short, I have been a patient patient! I still drive, but parking is a problem, especially when many of us can't do a lot of walking. Residents who don't drive often should not park close to back entrances. Food offered really needs to be improved. I applaud the efforts to offer us health food choices.. But I don't think the people cooking are skilled cooks. Very often, what one orders isn't what one gets! Don't name a salad or entre unless one can produce what is genuine. What you call an item on the menu, you are establishing expectations! It is not a good idea to promise more than can be delivered!

Living independently with all the comforts of home.

I have lived at Verena at the Reserve for about three years. The decision to move, and the move itself, were difficult, to say the least, and it was further complicated by the presence of Covid-19. Adjusting to life in an apartment has its challenges, but the staff at Verena helps in every way. They make me feel comfortable physically and socially. I am able to make friends at Verena and locally; I am able to learn about my new community through trips provided by Verena; I am entertained and informed by programs at Verena. At the same time I am able to come and go when I please. I love being independent while the staff at Verena provides all the comforts of home!

A Place for Mom has scored Verena at The Reserve 9.8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
