I have lived here for about a year and a half. I have enjoyed it immensely. Very friendly people live and work here. I recommend it for people 65 years old and older. We get three meals a day plus snacks. We get activities that are great. We have exercise programs for 45 minutes at least 2 times a week. There is also bingo and occasionally we will get entertainment from the community. That is great and very enjoyable. We have sing a longs and bell choir. During the holidays, the staff is wonderful in surprising us with different kinds of activities that we don't do on a regular basis. We also have someone come in to do chair yoga with us. To me, it is a great place to live. The staff is very helpful.

I honestly don't remember much about the experience. Everyone was so helpful though! I would highly recommend the facility to others.

Really it has just been fantastic. All I can say about the place is that they were just really good all across the board. I have no complaints with Gowin Parc. The staff there is very easy to get along with.

Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I can't say that he's happy but he is adjusting in a healthy way. Based on the experience we have had, we would recommend this community to other families.
