Front Porch Communities

The staff is extremely friendly and they have lots of activities. This community seems like it is targeted toward more activities residents. The community is very larger it is sitting on about 44 acres. Assisted living is in a building which is also very larger and has really long hallways. If you wanted to place a loved one here ensure they are very mobile and active.

They have more activities then our loved one can participate in. They were able to offer us immediate availability. They really show their dedication to their clients and their interest in keeping the residents as happy and satisfied as they can. The location was also convenient for our family.

This was a very nice place, it was an older construction community, but everything else is excellent. It was just not what my parents wanted. That was a good second choice. It was nicely laid out and i think the caregiving team seemed good, but they never lived there. I toured. This was one of the only places that I took my parents. To me, I felt it was leaning more towards independent living than assisted living and as weeks progressed my parents needed more assistance than I realized, but they had excellent staff, the nurse that evaluated my parents, was also excellent. They were very truthful to the point to that I almost felt that she was mistaken of my parents condition. She was so right, and I was in denial. I really thanked her for being so honest and forthright about the amount of care that my parents needed. I really commend them for that. Their dining is phenomenal, it's like a 4 star dining restaurant, That was great. It is just that they didn't have the 2 bedroom available in the time frame that I needed it. That was a really wonderful community.

So grateful that [name removed] suggested Walnut Village. Her description and detailed information truly helped me to make the decision to make the huge move out of my home, where I lived for 53 years, and enter Walnut Village.

Fredericka Manor is an excellent residence for seniors. My mother has lived here since 2006. However, they just announced that they are closing their Care Center (June 2023). This means that residence who need extra assistance will have to move to another place.

Nice place, new, we really liked that our parents could stay at the same apt even if their care needs increased. We also liked that it was compact, they had a lot of stuff in a small space. Expensive, though, probably over our budget. [Removed] was really nice and helpful.

[Removed] was very nice and gave me a second tour on a short notice. This place is very pretty and I like that it's so close to Claremont Village center, I could envision my parents walking there or just going there to people watch and enjoy different restaurants or the farmer's market. Their facilities were pretty good as well.

Everybody involved was cheerful and helpful.

We had recently moved my dad from another local, senior community. The previous community had a very high staff turn-over rate and the senior most administrators were frequently ill informed as to my dad's medical needs and requirements. My brother and I agreed that the quality of senior staff members and a clear line of communication were tantamount to my dad's wellbeing. We have found that, at Kingsley Manor. Jeannie (Director of Sales) and Shaun (Executive Director) are both conscientious, attentive, and adaptive. They treat our dad as an individual (not as a tenant or client). They understand that each resident enters with a lifetime of patterns, habits, and quirks. They've been pliant on structures and formalities that have allowed our dad to acclimatize to his new surroundings. Listen... our dad is still not comfortable with the idea of living in a senior facility (most wont be). He feels he's too young and too independent. He worries that senior living is a place that "old people go to die." It's a scary time for him. But the executive staff at Kingsley are cognizant of these fears and they seem eager to quell them within their abilities. For us, that's huge. My brother and I are grateful to both Shaun and Jeannie for there continued help and kindness.

It's a very exclusive place, but the staff is wonderful and the amenities are excellent. Parking is a bit of a hassle.

Visited on August 19. The Sales Manager was very good. The facility was clean and nice. The restaurant was not very good and limited use, that is, monthly fee does not cover all meals.

It is very nice, but they are at the higher end of the budget, more than we could afford. My mom has friends at Claremont Manor how love it. It’s beautiful with excellent grounds and an excellent staff. If you have the budget for it, it could be a great place.

The staff and residents with whom I spoke were friendly. The dining area was lively and cheerful, and the food was tasty. (I ate dinner there to check it out.) It seems like a good community of people. I want to make one more visit to check assisted living and memory care because I only had a chance to inquire about independent living during my short visit.

Vista Del Monte is also really nice. At the time that we were looking, they didn't have openings for independent living. We thought about it again when my dad needed more care, but it is very expensive.

They had a separate assisted living and independent living. The assisted living was okay. The independent living was really quiet. It's a cute building and they had a really nice dining area. It was really small. There weren't a lot of seniors in that building. They said they had activities available. Overall I thought that place was okay. It was one of the original ones I took my mom to see.

Very clean and modern. Didn't see many people. wondered if I could be missing something, but the place has good ratings

this seems really nice -- created by teachers and mom was a teacher

I was personally very pleased with Villa Gardens. It was very clean, upbeat and had some processes in place for the elderly I.E the computer and their mailbox check method, just to mention a couple. Instinctually I found it very pleasing and could immagine my auntie being happy there. It is also centrally located for family and ease of visitation. I will have to discuss with Mom as to her desire and observations.

I MAY MOVE IN ABOUT 3 WEEKS

This was a really great. But actually it was too big for my mom. The location wasn't great either. But you had to qualify to live there and had to prove you could live there for 3 years and after the math ended up being 120,000 dollars and I'm sorry that was out of our budget range. We chose another community.
