I would recommend them definitely. I don't get out a lot, but the people that I do meet wave and speak to me. So I would definitely recommend The Enclave to other people. Sometimes it takes the office a minute to get back to me with non-emergency issues, or I don't get a response. But there are a couple of employees who do a wonderful job taking care of us so far. They're not offering any activities that I'm aware of. The price is high on a strict budget, but I really love my apartment. It's really nice. It's very spacious, the bedrooms are a nice size, and the bathrooms especially are a nice size, which is unusual in an apartment. I have plenty of closet space. The kitchen is nice and roomy for me living alone. The living room doesn't have a dining room, but the kitchen has an island with room for barstools.
I go to see my brother everyday at different times of day and nobody knows if or when I'm coming and everything is always great and my brother is happy there and tells me he's happy to be there and that they are nice and helpful and the food is really good. It is always clean an neat. I don't know what else I could say about it.
The place to live. I would like to take this opportunity to share information about Myrtle Terraces. I cannot tell you just how wonderful it is living here. The staff is so pleasant and will go out of their way to he!p with whatever we might need. We have quite a few functions, like pot luck dinners, we have a game room for bingo, sewing classes, art classes. We have coffee twice a week and once in awhile on a weekend we have a small get together for lunch or brunch. The bottom line is I thank God everyday for finding Myrtle Terraces to live. The residents and staff give a sense of belonging and safety. If you are thinking of living in a senior community such as Myrtle Terraces don't hesitate, it will be the best decision you will ever make.
