This is the place I want to go to once I am ready. I liked the independent living that they have and the activities that they have. I liked the apartments because they're very affordable. They have card games, bingo, tours, and shopping. They have a movie theater. They have ministers that come in, and they do church services. They have people that come in to entertain. They also have a ballroom where they keep dancing.

My mother will be moving in. It's a family business, it's private, and it felt very homey. It had everything that I needed. It's like a hotel that's turned into an independent living. The staff was amazing. They were very friendly, very energetic, and they work with me and kept me informed. I have no complaints. I'm very happy. The rooms are very good. They're not furnished, so you would have to bring your furniture, but they actually have donations where people donate, and I was able to get a lot of the furniture already from them. She's got a one-bedroom with a living room, so it's like a hotel. They have studios and one-bedrooms. They have the three meals a day, a gym, and a hall where they do dances and activities. They have an activities person that does little different things. They play dominoes, cards, and things like that. They also have a happy hour every week, and they have a place where they get haircuts and nails and things like that onsite. They're remodeling, so there's a lot of work to be done.

It's very nice and very good priced. The food is good here and I'm very happy with it. It is so clean. The owner is also very nice. He owns one down south, too, in fact during the hurricane, they had to bring other people up here for a couple of weeks. I have a studio apartment with a kitchen, one bedroom and a big window, which is enough for me. I have their cable and their internet, so I don't have to pay for any of that. They have a bus that takes you to Walmart, but they park it across the street and do not take you out front. That's the only problem I have with it. Everything else is perfect. The staff are pretty good. They're all different nationalities and they're all very nice. We had a Christmas party and they were all up dancing and singing and everything. The food is really good. It's country cooking and you can always take what you left to your room. Everything's clean and they're remodeling a lot right now. I would recommend it to anyone. It couldn't get any cheaper here. I'm paying less than $2000 a month, including everything. I'm on the third floor and when the sun comes up in the morning, I see the top of the trees and the sun coming up in the clouds. It's absolutely beautiful with the blinds open.

My overall experience was great. It's a beautiful facility. The rooms are nice and spacious. I enjoyed the whole thing. That's one of the places that I'm thinking about going to stay at. I was very impressed. The room was immaculate. It was really nice, clean, and very spacious. I got to see a studio and a one-bedroom and both were nice. I enjoyed the tour. The dining hall was nice. I saw a recreation room, which was nice where the TV was and everything. They also had a room with a big television, so it was nice. It was laid out very nicely. The girl that I spoke with was nice also.

It is a great community. The upkeep is very good, and the grounds look very clean and nice. The rooms are satisfactory. They are clean. The staff is very good and very helpful. Their food is very good. It depends on the meal, but I like it. The chefs are good. There is a place for activities. They have outings for people who want to participate. They have bingo at two locations. There are happy hours, games, and a pool table. There is an exercise room, which should be completed soon. It is pretty extensive, and they have a ballroom as well. They are decorating for Christmas with trees and decorations. The value for money is very good.

It was a little old, so I didn't like that. It was a little on the dirty side, so I would have to go in there and clean it for my friends before they moved in. But it was relatively close to where I live, so I like that. The owners were on site, so that was nice. They had a coffee bar slash wine bar, a library, a lobby, a meeting room, a party room, and a dining room. The staff said she was there for seven years, but I went there five years ago with my dad when he moved down here, and I didn't see that lady. So I don't know how long people are there, but she was fine.
