I loved into The Fountain of Hilltop [date removed]. It is a very friendly place, which I can home now. Everyone is so helpful. If you have a problem, they are very willing to help get it solved. It is so nice to live in this wonderful place, and I love living here.
They seem to take care of mom pretty well at The Commons. If she ever has a problem all she has to do is push a button and someone is right there. It's been a very good experience and I would highly recommend The Commons.
Staff is very caring, professional, and responsive. Activities are varied and clearly scheduled. My mother never wants for assistance when she need it. She tells me frequently that she is so happy we helped her find Grand Villa. Meals, however, are not very interesting, and heavy on carbohydrates and starches. I would expect more appealing and nutritious meals for the price.
