My mother is at Saint Paul's. The staff is very caring. I have had lots of good conversations with the nurses and the aides there. She ended up moving from there into the hospital for a while and then rehab again and we weren't sure if she was going to be able to move in. They all loved Mom. They wanted her to come back and they said, "Whatever it takes, she can come back." They're very sweet and she's got a good friend there, too. We had Thanksgiving dinner there and it was pretty good. She has a studio, so there's a bathroom and a living room, bedroom combination. They've got lots to do there. She also has PT there, and she likes having mass every day. They come right to the floor, so I think that's good because a lot of them can't get off the floor. They try to have something every couple of days for them to do. I've only participated in making Christmas decorations. Compared to other places, value for money is very good.

My dad is a resident of St. Paul's. He likes the mass and the religious aspect of it, but they don't watch him very closely, and he's had ten falls. He has his room, and he's got a hospital bed now. It's a very nice facility, but I don't know if they don't have the workers or what. He had so many falls. They don't get to know him that well. He's way down at the end of the hall. He hasn't made a connection with any of the workers there. I don't think he's getting the care. Now, hospice has come in three times a week, and they're doing the job St. Paul's should be doing. The facility is clean, and they have many activities going on there.

My uncle was at St. Paul's for two years. They were very friendly people. But what I liked least about it was everything was far away for him to go like to eat and sit outside. Things were very far away for him, and with him having problems with his walking and everything, he just didn't do it very often. The staff was very caring. My uncle is not the most cooperative person in the world, but they did their best with what they had available. And because he was independent living, they didn't have a lot of authority over things that were going on with him. My uncle's room in the independent living was nice, but when we wanted to put him in assisted living, it was like a small 13 by 13 room. And as soon as they heard that we were going to the other place, they were like, 'Well, what can we do?' Instead of them immediately helping us to accommodate their assisted living. They were just kind of standoffish about it. With regards to activities, I know they had a lot, but my uncle just wasn't involved with them. They were very accommodating with certain things, but he just wanted to be in his room, and he didn't want to socialize. So it's more about him than it was about them. The atmosphere was friendly, but it was so big and everything was so far away for him.

St. Paul's was a very nice place. It's new, so everything is beautiful. They had a fantastic library; I was impressed. I'm a reader, so that's probably why I'm impressed with the library. The staff were very knowledgeable and very helpful. And I didn't have an issue with any of them. The ones I spoke to were very good. The place was very clean.

St. Paul's was nice, bright, and clean. The library was wonderful. Everybody was very friendly. We saw the dining room and the laundry areas. We saw the studio and that was too small for our situation. The one-bedroom seemed more suited to what we were looking for.

My mom will be moving into St. Paul's. When we visited, every resident we came across, we talked to every one of them. They were very active and happy. The staff members were very good and very attentive. The facility was bright and welcoming. It was very updated and clean. I saw the dining room, and what they were looking to serve, but I didn't sit and eat it. It was very elegant. We were introduced to a lot of the people that played cards, which is what my mom does. They were very gracious and warm, and said that they liked the facility because there was always something to do. With COVID, some of the things have not been reopened. There is a beauty salon, but it's not open right now.

My 95 year old mom has lived at St. Paul's for almost 8 years. We recently moved her to a studio apartment at St. Paul's. The St. Paul's personnel helped move her to her new apartment. Everything went perfectly! It's only been 3 days since her move. She loves the Vineyard restaurant for all her meals. Everyone has been so helpful. I would recommend St. Paul's for anyone wanting excellent care for their senior loved ones.

My one-bedroom apartment is a nice size. I like having a full kitchen. The third floor is quiet and has a nice view of the campus, which is good to walk around. I like meals out at restaurants with other residents in the evenings and at breakfast a few times a month. The food is fair. I would like more varied programs by area musicians. The facility is clean. The waiters and waitresses in the dining room are excellent. The front desk staff are very accommodating.

I visited St. Pauls and it was fine. I was familiar with the facility. I have quite a few friends that live there, so I know its a good place. They have different levels of care and its not easy to go from one wing to another wing. The staff was great. Ive eaten at the Bistro and Im content with that. Theres a certain time that you can eat and youre assigned tables.

The rumors are Kept very clean and the staff are very friendly as well as the residence, after all it is Saint Paul’s retirement community! I have lived here over 13 years and when I say my morning prayers and count my blessings, one of the blessings is living here I call love bingo here twice a week and I am a member of the singing choir and the bell choir. I enjoy daily mass here with our live-in priest. I can’t imagine living anywhere else

I like St. Paul's a lot. The place was excellent, the people were nice, and I had a real good interview. Everything was great and clean. I would love to get in there. The staff was excellent, knew everything about it, all my questions were answered, and was very professional. It was lunchtime when I was there and the food looked excellent. Everybody was pleased with the food and it smelled pretty good to me. They explained the activities to me, which sounded great.

St. Pauls was very nice and very pleasant. Its very well lit, sunny, bright, and very pleasant to be in. I didnt try the food, but what I saw of the residents eating, it was very good.

They did a very nice job at St Paul's. The location was good for my mother. Everything seemed to be just as nice as other communitities. They had a lot of activities. The menu was very good. We have pretty much decided on St. Paul's.

Cleanliness was good, and the rooms were good. The staff was good as well. They have assisted and independent living. My husband’s mother lived there and enjoyed it.

It was a large complex, and it was like a maze. The people that we met were very caring and outgoing. We have some friends that lived there -- and they have enjoyed living there too -- but they were more independent. We talked to the people that we knew; the rooms looked fine as well as the sanitation. The nursing care is available for my father, and that is what I like best about the facility. I recommend this facility.
