My father has moved in. It's close to where he's been for the last 60-some years and it's close to our house. It's very clean and very friendly. It's a great place. The staff members are awesome. The room is nice. It's a lot smaller than what he moved from, so it's an adjustment, but he's adjusting well and making new friends. I've looked at the activities, but my dad doesn't do a lot of those because he's hard of hearing and he's almost 98 years old. The food has been great. We've eaten there several times because they let the family eat there the first month to get them adjusted and it's delicious. They have something every day. We had friends that lived there before.

It was clean. The eating facilities were very nice. They had live music playing during lunchtime when we visited. The staff that showed us around was very helpful, positive, warm, and friendly. The outdoor experience was nice and it had walking trails as well. There was a nice outdoor space and they had a nice area if you wanted to do gardening, and they had outdoor barbecues in the summertime in a nice patio sort of natural environment. There were trees around and a wooded area as well. It was a very natural feeling inside. If my parents would have considered it, having to do laundry outside of the apartment would have not been a good thing for them.

We saw this facility. We didn't go in to have a meal, but we toured around and talked to a lady for about an hour and it's a very nice place. There's nothing bad I could say about it. We talked to some people there and everybody talked about how they're a great big family down there. Nobody said a bad word about anything. Later on, it's something my wife and I might look into again. I believe the person who assisted us was Susan, and she was great. She was very knowledgeable and very personable. Anything you ask her, she had an answer for it. We looked at one-bedrooms and they were a little bit bigger than I expected and they were nice. We were not able to try the food because we left right before lunchtime but they invited us to come back. I looked at some of their menus and they had a wide variety of food. Some of it I would eat, some of it I wouldn't. There's a fairly good-sized refrigerator in every room, and most of the rooms I looked at had a three-burner cooktop. I could also put a microwave in there, so it'd be fine. I saw them fix the food and it looked really good. The people I talked to also said the food is great. They got everything from puzzles, and an exercise room, to a theater room. They had 2 places to watch movies. You could also take the DVDs back to your room if you'd like. They had two libraries, one was a hardback library and then the other library was for all paperbacks. They also had a beauty salon that does hair and nails. They had a bus that goes out for activities. They take you to doctor's appointments once a week and once a week to shop. There is always something going on there. They had an enclosed back area there with a big patio and grass where you can play a horseshoe. There's also a trail there that goes to a long gate that has a code to open up. You'd maybe walk 150 or 200 feet and you're at the theater, which I thought was kind of cool. It's close to shopping, Fred Meyers is right down the street, so everything's right there.

It was clean and bright. It had lots of light and the people were very caring. They bent over backwards to try to accommodate my mom's celiac diet, which is very, very, very unusual. We've probably looked at 50 places and nobody (except one which was more like a nursing home) would even consider feeding her. So, that's a huge problem. No one will cook for a celiac/gluten-free diet and that's medically necessary, not just a fad, but they are going to do that. The lady who toured us was very understanding of the transition. She showed my mother lots of options. She was very friendly and was excellent. My mom will have an apartment that has a full kitchen (which is also kind of unusual as many of them don't have ovens). They have a giant courtyard area, a walking path that's a quarter-mile long that's off the street, and a nice wide paved path.

We had an in-person tour, and we were very impressed. There wasn't anything to dislike as far as I was concerned. The only thing is that I expected the one-bedrooms to be a little bigger, but they will be adequate. They were very nice and well-appointed. They have a stove and a refrigerator. The lady spent a lot of time with us and answered all our questions. It was excellent. The dining area was very nice, appealing, spacious, and clean. The staff showed us everything. She didn't rush through the tour. They have a laundry room, many social areas, a lot of activities, and a garden patio.

It was nice and their people were friendly, but it was in an area of town that I am not familiar with, and that I do not care for. It had busy roads. The rooms were nice and clean. The person who assisted me during the tour was very, very informative, and gave me a lot of information that I didn't even know I needed to ask. The dining area was light, and airy, and comfortable. I saw that they had poker.

My experience living here has been great so far. Two years ago I also came out and stayed for a couple of nights just to see the place and the people, but I wasn't ready to move in then. Right now we're on lockdown. The people are very friendly. I participate in their activities and they have wonderful meals; they have a chef here who is fabulous. I just felt right at home here. They normally have card games, bingo, arts and crafts night, they have all kinds of things going on in the mornings and afternoons, and you just choose which ones to participate in. There's plenty of food, they bring it to our rooms, and put it on a chair outside our rooms because we can't come in and we can't go out. But they knock on the door to tell you that they're leaving food. When we found this place we came out and I stayed to see what it was like. I'm happy.

My brother-in-law was here. The staff members were good too. However, everything was in the same room; there was no separate bedroom. They had card games, bingo, movies, and transportation to doctors and the bank. They tried to go out once a week to lunch to get the residents out of their rooms. The staff members were all wonderful. They were very friendly and very nice. They always welcomed us when we came over for lunch. I like them.

It is a little bit older and small, but seemed nice and clean. The staff that I talked with was very friendly. I thought it was a good experience. One lady who was a resident there came out of the elevator, and she smiled, she seemed like a person that I would like to know. They had a dining room that we could reserve for our family to have special dinners, and there were table cloths on the whole area. That was nice. The room that I saw was a studio with nice and large bathrooms. It was something that I will look into again when the time comes.

It was a community that seemed to have a little bit more active and younger population. The whole staff seemed to be very involved in meeting the residents' needs. It's on a nice fairly large property close to shopping, but on a quiet backstreet. We were impressed. The staff made it special. We ate there, and the kitchen was above average. They had very nice corner apartments and seemed to have a very involved and caring staff.

The environment was nice. Their dining room was big. I would recommend them, but it's just not for me.

I came across from an online search. I was given a list from one of the websites I visited it was one of those listed. When we visited this place, both my daughter and I were very impressed with their staff. They seemed very friendly. We were able to talk with them for a few minutes and everyone there seemed very happy with what they were doing. We ate an evening meal in their big dining room and it was a very nice experience. The food was tasty enough. Apparently residents would have their large meal at noon. They also showed us three of their individual rooms. They were clean and pleasant enough, although really small. I'm a person who has been lucky enough to have a large room all my life, so I think no matter where I move, I'm going to have a problem. We were also fortunate enough to see one of their activities during a happy hour. An Elvis impersonator was performing and he was exceptionally good.
