Wittenberg Village, a CCRC

Although Wittenberg Village has experienced some recent changes, the community is a perfect fit for my mom and the other residents. The activities keep her busy, and she really enjoys all of the extra outings. Having her housekeeping and meals provided, she is now able to relax and enjoy her days. Moving to Wittenberg has saved my mom in so many ways!

I moved in and liked it so much I bought a second apartment for my mother! The staff is the most caring I have ever encountered and the facility is top-notch. Hope to meet you soon.

I've lived here for 3 years and I really like the activities and the bus trips. The socialization overall is great!

Our move to Wittenberg has been a very positive experience. Everyone has been very helpful, friendly, and welcoming. Plus the services have been very helpful. We have found friendly people everywhere.

I have been at Wittenberg Village for eleven years and have loved every moment. A wonderful, caring, friendly community and LOTS OF FUN!

We have an amazing staff, every single person greets you every time they see you. The common areas are very clean. Overall opinion is very good.

I have lived at Wittenberg for 11 years and am very happy to call this my home. The staff is caring, kind, and helpful. I am very happy to be here.

I have had family members who resided at Wittenberg Village. My husband and I made this decision very early and it was an excellent choice. We were Founders at Wittenberg Village.

I would recommend anyone to come here. Sometimes I feel lonely, but there are lots of activities I can go to.

We came to Wittenberg less than a year ago. It took awhile to adjust, but we never looked back. The staff is outstanding and the accommodations are beautiful. We feel at home.

Wonderful place to live. Caring and skilled staff. From waitresses, housekeepers, maintenance, to office. Many social opportunities. Dining room is first class with multiple options for entrees, etc.

I moved into Wittenberg during Covid and [name removed] and the staff have done everything possible to make my move as easy as possible. They made sure I was able to keep in touch with my family on the Internet. This place is very friendly and safe, and has a family-like atmosphere. Everybody seems to know everybody by name, both residents and staff. They really care about each other and are friendly and inclusive. [name removed] made me feel like family. She goes above and beyond, always keeping in touch with me and always willing to help with anything that I need. All of the staff that I have met so far, like [name removed] , have been very friendly and helpful to me. I've noticed when they're walking around, if they notice somebody needs help with something, they immediately go to help or get someone to help with whatever they need. The food is very good here. There's a nice dining hall and outdoor patio area and the food service staff is very nice and accommodating to my food requests. I like that Wittenberg has continuing care options to move into if I need it in the future. It's nice to know I would be in the same community with friends around that I could still visit with. I'm glad I made this move to Wittenberg and look forward to many years of fun activities and socializing with the staff and the other residents and their families.

I like it very much.

I've been at Wittenberg Village for nine years and everything has been great!

My grandparents moved into the Wittenberg Village roughly eight years ago. My grandfather passed away nearly three years ago, and my grandmother, who has experienced significant cognitive decline, moved to another assisted living facility two years ago. It was not until my grandmother moved out that we reviewed the contract they had signed when they moved in. What we came to find out was seriously concerning. Wittenberg is a “buy-in” community, meaning that my grandparents paid a $300,000 “entrance fee” (in addition to $2000/month “service fee”) to reside in the community. They did not own the residence they lived in, nor, per the contract, were they “tenants.” The contract provides that 90% of the $300,000 entrance fee (notably without interest) is to be returned upon moving out once Wittenberg has found a new resident for the same home. Effectively, the contract gives Wittenberg massive leverage over the significant financial “entrance fee,” and even perversely incentivizes Wittenberg to delay finding new residents and reimbursing the “entrance fee.” It has now been two years and Wittenberg has not refunded the $270,000, despite having their employees reside in my grandparent’s old residence. When we inquired about employees residing in the residence, Wittenberg was extremely evasive, but ultimately confessed to having their director living in the residence. They still asserted they had no obligation to return the $270,000 entrance fee until they found a new resident, nor could they point to any reasonable efforts they’ve taken to find a new resident. While I can’t speak to how the medical/care staff are at Wittenberg, I can confidently say that Wittenberg’s management cares only about their bottom line, and their business model is highly deceptive. I would strongly recommend against this “buy-in” facility. To anyone considering Wittenberg, I would be happy to provide our experience if you reach out.

This is a nice community, and I had a good tour of it. I toured it for my mother, and her needs. Everyone was friendly, and nice. The community looked good, everything was nice, and clean. The staff was polite, and helpful. The experience went well. It was not the right fit for my mother, but my tour went well.

I felt uncomfortable here. It was very quiet. They were showing a movie and only two residents were attending (movie was from 70s, would have liked to see a more current movie). The rooms are nice, but I was told that the current residents prefer to stay in their rooms most of the day. There is nothing "wrong" with this place, but I'm looking for somewhere my parents can have social interactions, not just housing.
