Sayre Christian Village - Friendship Towers Assisted Living

The staff that work with my resident are very caring, professional, and overall wonderful. The food selection is varied and receives positive reviews from my resident. The food staff works hard to honor special requests. My resident just wishes there was bread with the meals. There are activities almost every day. My resident's physical situation makes it hard to participate. It would be nice if there were some activities on their floor. I am pleased with the quality provided for the cost of living there.

I visit the facility often to see a friend and it is a wonderful place. There is always something to do and no one feels alone. The staff are so friendly and accommodating to everyone.

I have had family here for 16 years. The apartments have a larger square footage than most in the Lexington area, including a kitchen. There are a variety of activities for all residents to choose from if they wish. The dining area is beautiful with an option to dine outdoors. Food is good. Staff are friendly and very caring. Staff will go out of their way to make sure that residents are cared for. Good value for cost.

I visited Sayre Christian Village - Friendship Towers Assisted Living, and it's quite nice and clean. It had been through a complete overhaul, so it looked very beautiful. We just looked at the studio room, and it was nice. The staff was fine for the tour. I don't have anything bad to say about it. For us, it was a little bigger. I think it would have been difficult for my mom because she uses a walker and it's a little more difficult for her to get around. They had a hair salon, a laundry room, a dining room, and a cafe where you can get something to eat pretty much all day and late into the evening if you want.

I toured Sayre Christian Village. It's a huge compound. It was wonderful. It was a beautiful place. There was a waiting list, and I can see why. It's extremely nice, and they're a nonprofit center. The cost was about right up there with everything else. The facility was bright. They were decorating for Christmas. They have volunteers over there all the time. They come from all over to make the place nice. The rooms have full kitchens. They're very nice rooms. The staff were extremely nice. They were wonderful. It's gorgeous.

My cousin and her husband live at Sayre Christian Village - Friendship Towers Assisted Living. My cousin went with me on the tour as well. It was great; it was wonderful. We even had residents that came up to us not knowing what we were doing and talked about how they liked it there, so that was great. They actually provided lunch for me there, and that was part of their service they provide. The food was delicious. It is just like going to a restaurant; it is great. The residents are pretty busy. When I got there, my cousin's husband had been to an exercise class, and then they were going to have bingo. They have church services, movie nights, book readings, and all kinds of things. They have quite a few activities. They had been on an outing the day before we went, and they're going to the Legends games. They have all kinds of activities. I'd like to live there actually. The staff I interacted with and the ones I saw interacting are very friendly.

The staff of Sayre Christian Village was very welcoming. The rooms that they showed us were very spacious and nice. The only thing that stopped us from going there was the COVID outbreak that they had. They said they weren't accepting anyone for about three weeks. They wouldn't allow visitors in the room, so we were going to have to pay for her laundry, medications, and the other things that we were going to have to do for her. That would have been more expensive anyway, but it was a very nice place. They were opening up a brand-new dining room with a musical stage, and there were lots of entertainment possibilities that I thought my mother would have liked.

The care is excellent at Sayre Christian Village, and the facility is very nice. My father was in a private room. It was quite large and clean, and I would say very nice.

I was looking for a facility for my mother-in-law and I came to visit Sayre Christian Village. It was a lovely facility and I would love her to be there. It was very nice. The room has a lot of safety features. The staff were great. I saw a lot of people and they all looked like they were all cared for. They also looked happy and satisfied. They were having activities at that time. I was very favorably impressed with the place.

I have had 3 family members at Sayre Christian Village. One at Baunta, one at Friendship Towers and one in the Nursing Home Care. All three received excellent care. The staff is amazing and truly enjoy working there. They always have smiles and show true affection for the residents. Renay knows every resident's dietary preferences and greets each one with a hug in the dining room. My mother has lived there for 3 1/2 years and loves it. When she comes to visit, it isn't long before she is ready to "go home" and greets her apartment with, "Hello, home" and a big sigh of contentment when we open the door. When we visit, she is happy to see us, but we can tell she is concerned about missing out on activities with her friends. The camaraderie among the residents is amazing. Love Sayre Christian Village. It is such a comfort and blessing to know my mother is happy. The facilities, except the new rehab facility are not the newest and fanciest, but that is not the most important factor, it is the staff. When my mom was in the hospital, the nurses commented on what good things they had heard about Sayre Christian Village. Mom quickly asked, "Then why aren't you working there instead?". I particularly like the graduated levels of care available from independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing care, including short term rehab and memory care. In addition, it is a non-profit facility that tries to hold down costs for the families.

My parents passed away but they had stayed in Sayre Christian Village. You have to be at least 63 years old when you want to move into this community. It was for low-income and especially for HUD housing, but it was really nice. My parents loved it there and were very, very happy. What was so good about them was that they have independent living, assisted living and a nursing home within the community. The complex is huge. They had super staff who were very accommodating and very helpful. They also had nurses coming a couple of times a month and they would help do things with seniors such as clipping their nails, etc. For activities they had all kinds of special programs. They had birthday celebrations every month. Local celebrities come in sometimes and give concerts. It was a very good facility and I would highly recommend them.
