The rooms at The Village at Buckland Court were a nice size. They had no stoves in the kitchen, but they had microwaves in them, which was a very good thing. I feel that safety is foremost and what I want for anyone who is going in there, especially my family. I liked the fact that they had several seating areas around the building so they wouldn't even have to leave the building to get drinks or get anything. It's a very nice, self-contained place. They have three meals a day and open visitation times. It's more of an apartment building. Overall, it's a very nice place.
The staff was very open and helpful about any information I wanted to know like if there was anything that was missing or any questions I might have. They were great. They have a lot of activities and they take residents out for various things, including shopping trips or field trips to museums. The activities they had were pretty involved. While they may not have been extremely physical or strenuous, which is good, the building was very large so you have plenty of room to walk around and get exercise.
They also have outdoor areas that the residents can utilize. They're very close to the walking area of the shops at Buckland so if anybody wanted to get out and about, then that's available as well. The place was very comfortable and clean. It's top-of-the-line.

The Village at Buckland Court was very homey. It was beautiful and very clean. The room was very nice. They were getting it ready for somebody else to come in, so they were working on it, but it was a very nice room. The person who accommodated me was awesome. She's very good. She was very helpful and very thorough with everything. She was able to answer all our questions. The dining area was very clean and nice, but we didn't try the food. They were doing holiday decorations in the art room, which was very nice. They had a nice big art room.

I enjoyed my visit to The Village at Buckland Court. I thought Jessica, who took me on the tour, had a lot of energy. She was very knowledgeable. I like what she told me about the facility. It's set back from the road, so it's quite pretty. I saw a studio apartment and a one-bedroom, and for my purposes, so the studio works better. I also liked how they encouraged the studio apartment experience because their goal is to get the residents out into the community doing activities and socializing. That's the main reason I'm looking for a residence for my mom, she's looking for more socialization.
I went around noon time, so lunch was going on. I didn't see any specific activities going on, but I did see the activity opportunities for that particular day, which provided a lot of options. The dining room was just a room at the top of the stairs; it was kind of typical. The place was very well maintained. Just from my one hour there, I was very impressed. My only concern was that it felt big to me, and that was the only drawback. But the person I met with mentioned that if your room isn't down certain hallways, there is no reason for you to go down that particular hallway, so I guess that makes it a little smaller. But that was my only concern and it felt very spread out.

The Village at Buckland Court was very, very nice, and newer. The people are very nice. Budget-wise, it was way too expensive. The room was nice. They have pretty much all the standard amenities.

We went to The Village at Buckland Court. My impression of the place was very good and very well-run. I'm very impressed with the director and her dog. Her dog just about won us over. We love the place. They have beautiful, beautiful common areas and huge, open, spacious hallways. The place was designed to be very conducive for people to hang out together in the common areas, in the halls, in the big rooms downstairs, huge grand rooms with couches and pianos. It's absolutely beautiful the way they did it. What I didn't like were the rooms. The apartments were not as nice as the other facility. They didn't even offer kitchen cabinets or counters. It was a well-run, beautiful place. However, the rooms were small and too basic.
The staff who welcomed us was outstanding. She was extremely personable. She did a great job. She had her dog with her that we fell in love with. They encouraged dogs there and that people bring their dogs to come in and visit. We're all huge dog people, so she wanted us over there. She had a great personality, very welcoming, so much so that we were practically sold on the place even though we knew my mother wouldn't want it.

I was able to visit The Village at Buckland Court. It was neat and clean, and the person I interviewed was good. They didn't even have a refrigerator. The staff that I met was very sociable, very helpful, and very pleasant.

The Village at Buckland Court was very nice and clean. However, in of itself, it was very hotel-like, and knowing my parents, it was a little too formal. The staff was great. They were very caring and attentive to what we were looking for. There were no issues or concerns. They were wonderful when they were showing us around. We know the chef there. He actually used to own a restaurant locally, and knowing how wonderful the food was at that restaurant, I didn't doubt anything at all that the food was as good as what it was at the restaurant. The facility was very spotless, bright, and cheerful. The layout itself was wonderful, but it was more formal than what I know my mom and dad would want.

My mother is living in The Village at Buckland Court. The place looks nice, and she likes it there. Everything has been good so far including the staff; we don't have complaints. She enjoys the activities. They had children come in doing sing-alongs, and there's always people hanging out with and talking to her. The dining area looks nice, and she also likes the food.

We found The Village At Buckland Court to have too many apartments and not enough outdoor space, plus it was really pricey. It was like living in a nursing home, and we don’t think we’re ready for that yet. The rooms were so alike that I think if you have a bad day, you wouldn’t know which one you were in, and I didn’t appreciate that. It was too simple. I wouldn’t be comfortable living there.

My mom was in The Village at Buckland Court. She was there for a year and a half. The rooms were good. It was very similar to where she is now. The layouts were almost the same. They had just redone everything, so it was more elegant there. Of course, it was twice as expensive. It was thousands more, so they had better be nice. The food was good. I never heard any of the residents complain about it. The dining room was very nice. They had a huge calendar of activities. Every day, they have something going on like card games and a lot of music. They do excursions, but my mother never went on them. They could improve on their laundry services.

I visited The Village at Buckland Court, and I thought it was excellent. It was clean and spacious. It is actually larger, and it seemed to be well suited. They had paintings, and they take the residents out like when they go to museums. They have music therapy as well. The dining area was good, clean, and spacious. The rooms and apartments were very nice, very spacious, and bright. I thought it was a good experience, very charming, well organized, and well-staffed.

The Village at Buckland Court had some of the nicer amenities. It was very clean, and the staff was very nice. It was a little bit more along the lines of what we were looking for from an activities perspective, and it was closer to my home.

The Village at Buckland Court was very nice. The staff and the room were very nice. The food wasn't too bad. Some things were Ok, and some things my mom had a lot of complaints about. It was very nice. They gave her some freedom, which she needed at the time. But they could improve the food.

On entering this facility, I was impressed with the quality of the facility. It was very nicely decorated, clean, and inviting. The staff both at the front desk and in the Alzeimers unit, where we entertained, was very friendly and helpful to us. Small details that were impressive to me at this facility included relaxing music played in the lobbies and a specialized diner for the resident's meals. Since we came right after the resident's lunch hour, we noticed how busy the staff was taking the resident's to their rooms and then bringing them into the main lobby for entertainment. The staff showed that they knew their residents well by helping them sit in the most appropriate seats for each resident. They were very gentle in the way that they handled transporting the residents. The biggest challenge for us as we did our skits was to keep the resident's attention, since many of the residents had quite a bit of memory loss. Overall, it was a good Rexperience to see this facility and interact with the staff and residents.
