The Mansions at Decatur Senior Independent Living

Reviewer#RD0724d

I toured The Mansions at Decatur Senior Independent Living. Everything was pleasantly clean. The room had a balcony, which I liked. The few people that I saw seemed to be nice. I just couldn't afford it. The staff who gave the tour was very informative. She contacted me even after the tour. I saw the dining area. It's nothing extravagant, but it's nice. I didn't observe any activities though.

The Mansions in Decatur was a lot more fancy. It was very pretty, elegant, and was more like a very high class hotel. The furnishings and things were very pretty, and the staff was very, very nice. The rooms were typical, but they were larger and roomier. They made very good use of their space without putting in hallways. For instance in their two-bedroom, they had a connected shared closet; you could get from one bedroom to the other by walking through the closet. Some of the models had the washer and dryer in the closet too, while some of them had it in a pantry area in the kitchen. They had full kitchens, and I think they were pretty spacious for the two bedrooms; the one-bedroom was not quite as much though. I was very comfortable there the whole time. I also enjoyed the food. It was pretty good. We had a philly cheesesteak sandwich, sweet potato fries, and a Boston cream pie. It was definitely a large enough serving for an older person, and I don't like spicy and heavily seasoned foods; it was not. I would assume that's probably aligned for most older people.

Our visit at The Mansion at Decatur was really great; that's why we picked them. It's completely independent. My mother has everything that she wants like a full kitchen. They offer everything and have all kinds of events. They go out on trips, have day trips and night trips, bingo, Bible study, and all the things that she wants they have. They offer three meals a day, and the staff is fantastic. There's a shuttle and include all utilities like the phone and the cable. Cleaning service is also included. Each apartment has a full-sized washer and dryer.

The Mansions at Decatur was great. The rooms were very comfortable, very nice, and spacious. There were one- and two-bedrooms. It's a very well-designed and comfortable place. The staff was really nice and had many activities for the residents.
