Never a Dull Moment

Our Grandma lives at The Villas at St. James. She is always busy doing something with her friends. A few weeks ago, I called her to chat and she told me that she was busy playing dice she would have to call me back. I love that there is something to always do. Before moving she just stayed home and have little interaction- now she is back to being the social butterfly I remember growing up! The staff is outstanding, [name removed]really helped our family with the transition from home to The Villas at St. James. Everyone is always so helpful!... Read more

We called into the community and got some great information from the community. We meet with [name removed] for a tour. She made us feel so comfortable and understanding about our concerns. She was very knowledgeable and even made sure we met the nurse and other staff.

It’s a great place to live!

Our family is very happy to have grandpa at The Villas at St. James. He didn’t want to leave his home but [name removed] made him feel comfortable. He sits with “the guys” and enjoys meal times. They take the bus for rides which he loves since he can no longer drive. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It is a great place.

Overall, I would have to say that anyone who would want to live at the Villa's would have a very positive experience.

The apartment's are quaint and cozy, and the overall facility is always very clean. Additionally, they have a wonderful Courtyard area, and have lovely outside patio areas for residents to enjoy. Also, they conveniently offer hair and nail salon services for the residents, as well as, lots of activities like, playing bingo, card games, working puzzles, listening to music, watching movies, and going on outings for shopping, dinner or lunch!

Mom's new home.

My mom moved into the Villas in August 2023. I was very impressed with the level of compassion [name removed] expressed toward my.mom who was not thrilled with the idea of giving up her home. Since resist g at the Villas mom's health and mental state have approved greatly. She interacts with the other residents which has helped her depression when she lived alone. Her only complaint is the food which I take as a big win if this is all she has to complain about. She loves the staff and other residents. I feel so relieved knowing she is safe and enjoying her time there.

Perfect place for Mom

Since day 1 we have been very pleased with the Villas at St. James. Everyone is so kind, caring and patient. Mom is very happy living there. There are many activities for her to partake in if she wants. She really enjoys the entertainment opportunities and church services. We have not used the transportation service for local appointments, but knowing it is available is a plus. We know she is being well cared for and have absolutely no concerns. The staff is truly amazing!!

They make my dad feel special

From day one, everyone at the Villas at St. James was friendly and helpful. Dad was fighting us a bit to stay in his house, but after a terrible fall it became necessary that he have more help. He has gotten the help he needs, yet retains his dignity and independence. He looks forward to staff from management to housekeeping coming to visit him at his "apartment". They always seem to be friendly and have a bit of time to talk. He occasionally complains about the food and then other times says it is good. He's gained some weight. He loves to go on field trips on their bus and visit with friends (old and new) on his porch. It's been a great experience for both of us.
