I’m living here currently and it’s going really, really well. I’m very pleased. When I moved in, my apartment was perfect. I had new carpet and new paint and it was really a pleasure to be able to move in. I was on the waiting list for a few months but they were able to give me exactly what I wanted, including my own parking space in the underground garage. The staff is very helpful. The only issue I ever see is that maybe someone forgets to vacuum the elevator because it’s a high traffic area but the community room and the lobby is just beautiful and they decorate for every holiday. It makes you feel like you’re living in a house because of the decorating. They don’t serve food but they provide small full-sized kitchens in the apartments. They provide plenty of activities like bingo, card games, there’s a movie every Friday night, and they have special dinner events about once a month. The other residents so far have been very friendly and very welcoming. They’ve met all of my needs and expectations and I would recommend them.
This is a good place to be and place your loved one. For the value this is an extremely good option in my opinion. The staff communication with the family has been good when we have questions about our loved one. There are three meals a day served to the residents. There is a lot of variety of activities available as well.
I have met several neighbors at Lilac Apartments and everyone has been really nice. The office staff are very friendly also. I haven't lived here too long so I haven't had any concerns yet. But so far so good here.
