Discovery Village Clear Lake

I went to look here, but I couldn't afford it. I liked that it was very clean. I like that the tenants were all very cordial and friendly. The meals were wonderful. You had a selection every day. You weren't forced to eat the same things every day. They had wonderful food. They also had a very good activity director who kept you busy doing things that you didn't have a chance to start feeling sad or sorry for yourself or the condition that you were in. The staff was wonderful. Anything that you needed done, all you had to do was tell them. They were a good community. I wish that I had been able to get in there and stay there because it also had assisted living and memory care right there on the same property, just in different buildings. So as my illness progressed, I could have moved from one to the other without a problem.

It was very nice. They gave us a meal and it's marvelous. The people that were in the dining area were very pleasant and introduced themselves to me and talked to me, the person in the dietary area and the kitchen came out and introduced themselves. And it was very, very nice. The apartment is nice, but the one that they had available at the time for me was just too tiny. I didn't need an efficiency apartment, I guess you would call it. But it was nice, and the one-bedroom was very nice that I've seen. They had a lot of activities, they went to different places. They have an evening where you can sit down and socialize with one another. They got a bar, they got it like a buffet style thing. The staff said that if you were hungry, wanted a snack, you could come downstairs and get it. I liked it.

They gave a nice presentation. They had a 2-bedroom apartment with four rooms in it, which were the two bedrooms, the living room, and the kitchen area. They have people that come in and clean your room once a week. I had lunch there, and the food was very good. They had a movie theater, bingo nights, poker nights, and different activities for different nights. The staff were very friendly and answered all the questions. They were good.

I visited, and I thought it was good. The rooms were nice, and there were a variety of different floor plans. It was pretty close to lunchtime when we were there, so I saw people congregating together and eating lunch. Their dining area was nice, plenty big enough, and clean. They had patios and balconies, where people could have plants or whatever. They showed me everything. I saw a gym, the room where they have movie nights, and different rooms people can gather in when playing cards or whatever. They had a library, and people could play puzzles together.

My in-laws moved in here. I like the fact that it didn't have as many units as some of the other places. They're on the first floor, which is very convenient. It is very close to the dining room where they can have all-day dining. I know that their meal service is great. They have a beauty salon, a barber shop, a media room for movies, and a small library. The only thing that kind of detracted it was the carpeting in the halls. Other than that, there's nothing else. The place is very, very clean, and the staff is wonderful.

We have chosen here for my parents. It was very, very clean, very friendly, and very nice. The staff was responsive and attentive. When I was there, they were engaged, and they were very friendly. The apartments were nice and clean. The cafeteria was awesome. They fed me lunch and it was good. The facility is laid out well. The amenities they offer are nice. They've got different areas set up for activities, games, and things to keep the residents entertained and occupied. The dining area was set up like a restaurant. It's a very clean, open, and bright atmosphere. They had quite a bit to select from the appetizers up to the salads and the main courses. It's just like eating in a restaurant. The waitress came out and took our order. They're very attentive. For an adult living facility, the rooms were smaller than I kind of expected. They were ample enough to provide a nice, homey and comfortable living environment for my parents once we got them in there. They were very clean and laid out well. The independent living ones have a washer and dryer and were very, very nice. The staff who toured us was very, very helpful, and very friendly and answered all my questions, and even took me back to places that I forgot. I would look at something and say, 'I don't remember that. Can you take me back?' And she would take me back. She was very humble.
