The person that was showing me around The Remington Club was very nice, and the people seemed nice. But it looked tired and it needed remodeling, which they said they were going to do. It's also the most affordable of all the ones I saw. The staff that I met was very nice, she's very helpful and very informative, and I like her very much. They had pretty good apartments. They had everything everybody have including a heated outdoor pool, exercise classes, a small gym or workout room, and they had a hairdresser. They had a couple of dining areas, they had very nice grounds that were pretty well-manicured and well-landscaped. They have a good activities list. They had weekly housekeeping, shuttle service to shopping and doctors' appointments, and they have a movie theater. If that's all you can afford, it's a really good option if you don't have any money.

I chose The Remington Club for my mom because it's closest to my house and the price is right. They kind of offer everything. I liked it because they had some rooms that had doors to the outside, not only to the hallway inside, but doors to the outside to a patio. They really listen to my mom's needs. They found something where she could let her dog out the door or on a leash or something. They really bent over backwards to meet her needs. She had put down a refundable deposit, and then decided about a week later that she wasn't going to go, and so we got the deposit back. But when she comes down, I think that will be her first choice. They had full kitchens, refrigerators, stoves, nice cabinetry, and a dishwasher in the apartments. You would have to bring your own microwave and your own coffeemaker, but that's about it. They have nice, big bathrooms, some with step-in showers and some not, but there are handrails everywhere. The person who toured me was great. They have lots of outdoor spaces, and that's what I like. One of the areas that my mom probably would have gone into is the outside door that had a patio and then she could walk over to a gazebo surrounded by a rose garden. It's beautiful. They have many activities. Everything from a library, book club, cribbage club, bridge, and hiking if you're able to. They have so many. They even have a putting green and a swimming pool. You can have pets there, too.

I've been here at The Remington Club a little over a month and it's like everything else. They're doing an admirable job of trying to keep us entertained and safe. The dining room is open with the Covid restrictions. The food is delicious, I really love the food and I'm being careful I don't gain weight. The staff is wonderful, they go out of their way to help us. My room is really comfortable for the 2 of us. We picked a 2-bedroom apartment because I no longer sleep with my husband, he makes too much noise. We picked the ground floor apartment that has a good size patio and the rose garden. I loved that because I always used to grow roses and it's very nice to sit there among the bushes. I feel like they kinda went out of their way to find us the right parking spot, and the right department. My husband is somewhat handicapped and so I didn't wanna have to walk from one extreme to the other of the building. Our apartment is really convenient to just about everything we would wanna do. The people are nice, the activity director he's always gonna do something that you just have to laugh at and he's very entertaining. The concierge folk just go out of their way to do as much as they can. I had friends that lived here for many years, so I have seen that open, beautiful activity and the dining room looking wonderful and so I know what it can be. I'm gonna just patiently sit around and it'll go back. They play Jeopardy thru zoom, they take turns in answering, and it's still fun and you still get to see other faces. Food is very personal, when you like something it's really good. I'm not a picky eater and it's not really a problem for me and my husband.

The Remington Club was nice. I was looking at independent care. The rooms were nice, and the layout was nice. It was just a little bit too spread out, and too large for my dad. The person I met was very nice. I saw the pool and the dining area. The facility was clean and well-maintained. The parking was rough. It was a little bit of a walk, there was limited parking, and the parking area for the residents and visitors was behind the building.

The Remington Club is a big place. They have a full range of facilities as far as health goes. They're also right next to a shopping center so people who like to shop can go out of their doors and go there. They have just about anything you need. The staff member seemed good. We were impressed with them. The rooms were great. They're larger than most of the places. We liked that. That was a really selling point for us. However, we felt that the place itself was too big. That was a negative. It didn't feel very homey because it was so sprawled out. We went to the dining room one time and there was hardly anybody there. They serve around-the-clock so you don't have to be there at a certain time, but it is pretty sparse. It doesn't seem like people are too family-oriented; it doesn't seem comfortable.

I didn't like The Remington Club even when we were there for two years. First of all, the fact that they put five stars in their own logo fools the public because they're not 5-stars. They're not even 4-stars. They have both independent and assisted living. They use a point-system so they count your food and drinks for you, and from my point of view it's run like a prison. The food is truly mediocre, and there's not a lot of social intercourse since it's a large community. There are two buildings and people move around; it didn't feel very friendly because the people dont communicate with each other. They also have other activities and focus activities. The price is too high for what they provide, and it's a chain so the management is so far-removed from the interest of the residents that it's not even funny. Nobody pays any attention to anything. It has four floors with about 40 apartments to a floor, but there's only onr elevator. You could die of hunger waiting for the elevator during dinner time.

I visited the Remington Club. The rooms were very lovely, attractive, and adequate for my needs. They have exercise programs, a jacuzzi, and a pool. The food appeared to be good. There's a big shopping center nearby, which was important to me. They have a lot of community rooms, several little restaurants, and you don't have to go to the main dining room to eat breakfast. You can get coffee, all kinds of cereal, and fruits. They have music every week, and someone comes in and play the piano, so for me that was fun. Everybody was just upbeat and helpful.

We went to The Remington Club. We really didn’t like that one because we were looking for a place with one building where everybody was together and have your meals there. The Remington Club was divided, which we didn’t like that. It was a great facility and maybe someone else would love it, but for our needs, it would be two stars.

I have lived in an apartment at Remington in the Independent Living area and have had two stays in the health center recovering from surgical procedures. The service and care delivered in both areas exceeds expectation. The staff is very friendly, resourceful, well trained, and supportive of all of the residents. The management of the community is excellent. I feel fortunate to call Remington home!

I liked the people at The Remington Club. Their food was excellent. Everything was great. They offered all kinds of daily activities. It was close to a shopping center, and some senior citizen homes. It was in a very nice neighborhood.

We moved to The Remington Club mid-April. The staff is competent. We have a two-bedroom and two-bath with a patio on the ground floor. The food is good, but the problem is we're used to three served meals, and they only have one served meal and a serve yourself breakfast. The dining room is very nice with white tablecloths. It's like a nice restaurant. We enjoy swimming and the outdoor activities. Today, we went on a harbor cruise. They have movies and a lot of music, and performers come in and sing. They have other activities, but those are the main ones that interest us. We love the apartment we live in.

We visited Remington Club and like the grounds. The one-bedroom apartment was great. It was nice that it has washer/dryer in the apartment for independent living. I did not like the assisted living units. They reminded me of a hospital room. Their dining room is fine. The whole facility is very clean. The staff that accommodated us was great. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. This facility is also nice because of the proximity to a major shopping area. It's got nice, large grounds for walking.

The Remington Club was nice. I was amazed on how large their apartments were. We didn't eat there, but the dining facility looked very nice. I liked that it was close to a little shopping area. The staff was also very nice.

We have already chosen The Remington Club although we were not moving in there yet. We were able to visit the place two or three times and the facility is spotless clean. The staff who accommodated us was able to show as many rooms as we wanted. We were amazed that they were so generous with regards to the sizes of the rooms. We had lunch there and the food was wonderful, very delicious. The only thing for them not getting a 5 is because they don't have a covered parking for our car.
