Senior Apartments
This is a well maintained senior complex with amenities you might not expect to find. The pool is comfortable, the putting green is sufficient and the shuffle board and bocce ball are located near the pool. The grounds are manicured and management does an excellent job of keeping abreast of all that is occurring within the buildings. Space wise the two bedroom apartment is quite large with ample closet space, a nice patio or balcony space, and nice views. Each building is set up to provide a lovely view of trees and garden areas. I also viewed the one bedroom and it is also much larger than you would expect for the price charged. My only complaint is that some of the cabinets and the washer and dryer stackable units need to be updated. Otherwise my stay was terrific. The bonus factor for me was finding out how many seniors were in my midst not only at the complex but at the local stores and various locations. Great location, bus outside the main road at the front entrance and the complex exits to a big shopping center lot- with a grocery store, home depot, bagel store, and a couple of restaurants. It is worth the move!!
Overall experience is pretty good. Staff is very nice, and always willing to help when my mother needs it. It's a bit pricey, but it is all inclusive, with the exception of podiatrist and hairdresser. Every day they have activities planned to encompass just about the whole day. The food is less than stellar, but when you're cooking for seniors I know there's alot that you can't put in the food (salt, pepper, etc.). Even with that though, it's not too bad. Out of all the places I saw, this was the best one overall. When you drive up to it, the grounds are nicely landscaped, and you don't feel like you're driving up to an office or hospital. All 1 level, so no worries about falling down stairs or getting stuck in an elevator. At the end of the day, my mother is very happy there, and that's what matters most. Highly recommend.
