My mom is living in Citrus Place right now. It's been a good experience, she likes the place. She likes the privacy and independence that she has, and the rooms are spacious. There are some maintenance tasks that I had to call out that seemed lacking, but recently they were remodeled, so everything's great now. They have a wide range of activities. Overall, it's been a pretty good experience. One thing she did not enjoy was that the food was not the best, it seemed like they used a lot of packaged foods to feed the residents. I've noticed that because I have actually dined there, so when I see Mom I take her out, because the food there's not that great. They do chair exercises for the seniors several times a week, they do trips, and take everyone to go shopping at different local stores. They also have a lot of special events, and those are the times where they actually have pretty good food, because it's like a special occasion, and they celebrate holidays and bring in entertainment sometimes. The admin staff at the front office are wonderful, they're great, and very helpful. I just have some concerns about the maintenance staff, because they seem a little frazzled and shorthanded.

Citrus Place was nice. It was bright and cheerful. The staff stood up for me more than anything else. They were excellent ad very friendly. The rooms were also very nice and very bright. I liked that there was lots of sunlight. They have a little hair salon (which my friend was very impressed with), laundry facilities, and a pool. They have everything. The only downfall was the parking. It was tight.

We liked Citrus Place because the rooms were a nice size. My mom liked the fact that she could get to the restaurant area where all the activity was, without having to walk a long distance. The people are very friendly and they offer a lot of activities for seniors.
They showed us the independent living part and the person who toured us around was very warm and friendly. She answered all our concerns or questions that we may have had, and she was very pleasant. For the rooms, they only offered a refrigerator. We have to bring the microwave ourselves.
My mom said the food she had was very tasty and she liked it. I know, once she lives there, she'll find a lot of different items on the menu, and then we'll be going there to eat with her as well because family members can go and eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner with their loved ones.
They have a courtyard and a swimming pool. For fitness, they do aerobics, and fitness in the swimming pool, and they have a courtyard with miniature golf shuffleboard. My mom will be having a little balcony and a little patio, once she moves in, too.

We will be moving into Citrus Place. The tour was wonderful. It was great. I like the friendliness of the place. The upkeep of the community is very, very well. The rooms are very spacious.

Citrus Place was nice. It wasn't as comprehensive as the other facility, and it didn't have any freestanding houses, but it has a lot of really nice apartments and amenities for the seniors. The physical appearance was very nice. They took me out to a backyard area or a courtyard, and it was like a grassy area between the buildings. A lot of people like to go out there to stroll, to sit, and to walk their pets. The staff I interacted with was very nice. It's not as independent as the other one. They have apartments there for people who didn't require assistance, but you would expect to eventually.

The staff at Citrus Place was very, very nice and knowledgeable. I checked their menu; it's extensive, it's gourmet, and it's all very nice. It was a very nice facility. The rooms were just normal. They have studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, and they're all very clean.

I had a brief introduction to Citrus Place, but it seemed nice and friendly. Like the independent living seemed comfortable, my friend seems like they're in their own apartment. I also visited my friend in the dining room while she had her lunch. Her daughter and grandaughter used to come and eat with her there, they said they had good food. It was a community dining area. It looked like they provide a daily outing ride, it seemed that they had some type of activity program. I guess the value for money is OK. It's expensive for that kind of care, and I think it's high.

I went to Welbrook Arlington. The person who did the tour was great, but the bathrooms were not accessible by wheelchairs, and to get an ADA restroom, you have to pay $600 more. The dining area looks very pleasant. They had movies, crafts, and lectures, too.

My friend moved into Welbrook Arlington. The staff is very helpful, the place itself is nice and clean, and it seems to be very well-run. We're very pleased with the decision we made. There's a library with lots of books, they have live entertainment that they schedule often, and they have exercise class. There's a lot of activities that they have posted on their monthly calendar, there's a lot for everybody to do. They also have a bus that takes people shopping or on outings. We settled on this community because if my friend's condition changes, they have different levels of care without having to move her to another place. The community is very secure, the food is good and the staff is very helpful. They cover all the basics.

I was a resident of Welbrook Arlington, but it was too expensive for me, although I think they do a relatively good job. There's a lot of complaints about the food, but institutional food was never going to be like home cooking. They had quite a few activities for the residents, like Thai chi, aerobic classes, poker, games, and entertainers that came in periodically. They also had trips to the local casinos and organized lunches for the residents around the area, and that's just part of it. I think the place was secure and well-maintained. They had an arts and crafts room, library, pool, and so on.

Welbrook Arlington was welcoming and pleasant. The cleanliness could be a little bit better, but the utility rooms, dining room, and the areas where they have activities were very clean. They had a salon, a lovely dining room, a lovely patio, a room to walk, and a movie theater. The staff was very warm and friendly. They have quite a few amenities. They offer painting art lessons and have an art room for those who are independent. They also have an area for games and do shopping trips.

Welbrook Arlington was clean, they had lots of activities, and lots of options from independent to assisted to memory care. They had a belly dancer and a carnival type thing going on the day I was there. The calendar showed major activities most days. They invited me to come back for lunch and bring my by mother anytime.

I was very impressed with Welbrook Arlington. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. Overall, the entire place including the food was good. The apartment was very clean with new carpet and paint. The cabinets in the kitchen area looked a little antiquated, but it had a good smell to it. There were lots of activities that were very appealing. Considering what I know about pricing in the area, I think theirs was reasonable. I would absolutely recommend this place.

I have a parent in independent living for over 3 years. At first move in it was great! Very "homey" staff seemed like family. Food & dining very good. Then things started to change. The bank took over and fired most of the long term management. We started noticing cutbacks in everything, staff, quality of food, housekeeping etc. The facility sold and new ownership and management held meetings and made promises of renovations and improvements. All the while rents continued to climb and costs to residence for little things like a delivered food room tray continued to rise. The major renovation was very disruptive with cost overruns and delays. The security gates were removed. This leaves the facility open to intrusions 24 hours a day to two separate buildings. No one monitors the CCTV cameras. Due to this and other expenses, more staff turnover, staff cuts, degradation of food quality @ times was unedible. Complaints to management fell on deaf ears. The response "we are working on it". Several times dining room service would take 1 to 1 1/2 hours to receive food at the table. Complaints to management: "we are working on it." The one renovation that was necessary was to install overhead fire sprinklers, the rest of the renovations did not add any benefit to the residents. In fact, it was a waste of money. The quality of service & dining has suffered tremendously. I complained of some "unethical" billing practices and threatened to report if changes were not made. If things do not show any further improvement within 90 days I will be looking for another facility for my parent.

The staff members of Welbrook Senior Living Arlington are all caring, attentive, and patient. I like it here very much. We do have a number of daily activities such as crossword puzzles and card games. The dining room and the food are excellent.

Rents will be going up significantly over the next year due to new ownership and to pay for the cost of renovations. Family member has lived her for 2 years and staff turnover is high and management really doesn't listen to the tenants.

Welbrook at the time had the most things on my list, but things have changed a lot, as they were undergoing a major renovation when I moved in. It seems very difficult the first six months. The contractor did things wrong and they had to be done over again. It was an absolute mess. I was in a temporary apartment in the assisted living because there wasn’t anything available to fit my needs in the independent living building, but eventually, miraculously, they found a 1-bedroom and made an offer to stay
We have three meals a day provided, and most of the food choices are pretty good. I happen to be lactose intolerant, so there are times I can’t eat what they have on their menu. We have a microwave only in our apartment, so I can’t cook anything here in my apartment, nothing major of any kind. They have a number of activities every day. Communication from the staff to the residents is very poor; decisions are made that we have no input on, and that is my biggest concern.
