Recent reviews of Independent Living in Athena, OR
Quail Run Retirement Community in Walla Walla, WA
5.0

The staff is very friendly, even the owner was laying down on the grass playing with our dog. The managers are great too. They have really good meals, and you have a choice, and they serve meat and vegetarian options too. They have exercise classes and bocce ball, and bingo, so there are some varied activities. This was the best place that fit what we needed of the places we looked at.

Terrible, lazy and stupid activity director. Kitchen manager poor cook and is always running out items we need to eat with our meals. I spend over $160 a month on food.

Holiday Park Plaza in Walla Walla, WA
5.0

Park Plaza is a friendly environment and we are very pleased with the apartment size. It appears that not everyone has the same price for an apartment, I think it depends on where it is located so that might be something to ask about while looking. There could be more clarification as far as menu availability. Overall it has been great and we are happy and would highly recommend them to others looking.
