I really like Sanford Estates Gracious Retirement Living. They take really good care of my mom. The people are great and she is really enjoying herself. The food is great. They'll cook whatever you want, and they have two or three different chefs. It's usually two or three different dishes that you can choose from per meal (there's three meals a day). They do exercise classes, card games, and bingo. They also go on casino trips or go shopping at different locations.

I am currently at Sanford Estates and I am happy here. It is further away from my family than I like, but I am content here. The staff is wonderful and considerate. The meals are not that great. My apartment is wonderful. I have a studio and it is so large people can't believe that this is a studio apartment; they look around for the bedroom. It is very clean, and the amenities are good. They have activities here, people are interested, but I am just not interested. I happen to be one of the oddballs here; I am not interested in any of that. If I like something, like the entertainment or something, I go down there absolutely. They have plenty of things for people to participate in like movies, bingo, and crafts. They have all of these things, and if people are interested, they are more than welcome to participate.

Sanford Estates was very nice, band new, and beautiful. I went back for their open house. The staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and was willing to help. The location was good. The rooms were all brand new, gorgeous, and decorated well, although they were very small. They had a good social director. I have already recommended them.

My parents love Sanford Estates and have been there for about a month and a half. The people that work there have been really gracious, and the managers and staff are very friendly. The food is outstanding. The place is brand new and really clean. They do housekeeping and laundry service. It’s been a really good transition. They have a movie theater and kitchen studio where they do demonstrations. They have a gym, a little chapel, a library, a computer room, and an office. They have an outdoor living space that looks like a fireplace with little gardens that they can plant in. They have really large balconies on the units. The apartments are a nice size with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. That’s the one thing that we had a hard time finding, so that was a big plus.

The tour at Sanford Estates Gracious Retirement Living went very well. The staff seemed to be very attentive. The aides who were there seemed very good. The staff member who assisted me was very nice and very informative. She explained what services they provide and what type of activities they have. They had exercises, speakers, movies, cultural activities, and weekly excursions to stores and restaurants. They provided doctor's visits within a 20-mile radius. There were three meals prepared on-site, and the food seemed good. The community was very good and brand new. I am very impressed with it.
