I have lived here for 5+ years. The food is by far better than other places I've been. Staff are friendly and very helpful. This is Alden's main campus and the grounds are beautiful. Festive holiday decorations make this a very homey atmosphere. I call this "home".
Everything about Emerald Village has been all good. Depending on the age of the residents we would recommend and refer it to someone 70 and over. The Food offerings very small currently. Maybe Poker instead of bingo with restrictions.
I am currently a resident at Fox River Horizon and things have been great here. The staff are friendly and courteous. They do not provide meals here. They recently redecorated all of the common areas. Based on my experience, I would recommend Fox River Horizon to others.
