The major factors were the size of the community. It is small enough to not be intimidating. The other huge factor for my brother is that it actually has a decent size group of older guys who eat together, watch sports events together and keep each other company.
Experience has been, for the most part, good. I still have some things that I need to figure out or speak to someone about, and honestly, I would love it if there were a community much closer. I would definitely recommend it.
The staff members are all very friendly, and the rooms they provide for the resident are nice sizable rooms. They are sufficient and we would recommend the Linden House Assisted Living to others.
