St. Paul's was nice, bright, and clean. The library was wonderful. Everybody was very friendly. We saw the dining room and the laundry areas. We saw the studio and that was too small for our situation. The one-bedroom seemed more suited to what we were looking for.

My mom will be moving into St. Paul's. When we visited, every resident we came across, we talked to every one of them. They were very active and happy. The staff members were very good and very attentive. The facility was bright and welcoming. It was very updated and clean. I saw the dining room, and what they were looking to serve, but I didn't sit and eat it. It was very elegant.
We were introduced to a lot of the people that played cards, which is what my mom does. They were very gracious and warm, and said that they liked the facility because there was always something to do. With COVID, some of the things have not been reopened. There is a beauty salon, but it's not open right now.

St. Pauls's is leading the pack now in our search for facilities. We liked the atmosphere, the rooms, the staff, the way it's laid out, the proximity to our home, and the price. It was very clean and very well organized. It's like walking into an upscale motel when you walk in the front door. The rooms are super nice and everything is basically new or newer. They have tons of activities, tons of rides available to do things offsite, lots of places to walk, and plenty of stuff to do around the building inside and outside. The staff is friendly, they knew the residents, and they knew about the facility.

My 95 year old mom has lived at St. Paul's for almost 8 years. We recently moved her to a studio apartment at St. Paul's. The St. Paul's personnel helped move her to her new apartment. Everything went perfectly! It's only been 3 days since her move. She loves the Vineyard restaurant for all her meals. Everyone has been so helpful. I would recommend St. Paul's for anyone wanting excellent care for their senior loved ones.

My one-bedroom apartment is a nice size. I like having a full kitchen. The third floor is quiet and has a nice view of the campus, which is good to walk around.
I like meals out at restaurants with other residents in the evenings and at breakfast a few times a month. The food is fair. I would like more varied programs by area musicians. The facility is clean.
The waiters and waitresses in the dining room are excellent. The front desk staff are very accommodating.

The rumors are Kept very clean and the staff are very friendly as well as the residence, after all it is Saint Paul’s retirement community! I have lived here over 13 years and when I say my morning prayers and count my blessings, one of the blessings is living here I call love bingo here twice a week and I am a member of the singing choir and the bell choir.
I enjoy daily mass here with our live-in priest. I can’t imagine living anywhere else

I like St. Paul's a lot. The place was excellent, the people were nice, and I had a real good interview. Everything was great and clean. I would love to get in there. The staff was excellent, knew everything about it, all my questions were answered, and was very professional. It was lunchtime when I was there and the food looked excellent. Everybody was pleased with the food and it smelled pretty good to me. They explained the activities to me, which sounded great.

They did a very nice job at St Paul's. The location was good for my mother. Everything seemed to be just as nice as other communitities. They had a lot of activities. The menu was very good. We have pretty much decided on St. Paul's.

I’ve been a resident of St. Paul's for a week. They have two dining rooms, but are short-handed and not running them properly; they only have one manager and are waiting for a second one. I had to go set my own table this evening. They serve supper at 6 p.m., which I can’t understand -- the food is cold, and half the time you don’t get the correct orders. I’ve been communicating with them for a month, and they never told me that the lease was effective the day you sign it.

I really liked St. Paul's. The lady came out, we walked most of the facility, and she took me to a room to show me how the rooms would be. I looked at a two-bedroom room, and each person had its own shower. There was either a walk-in shower or a stand-in shower, and I thought that was kind of nice because then my mom or dad could be in the shower if they wanted to. They had their own bathroom, and I thought that was kind of neat. Each had a bed and a shower, and then there was a middle room where they could come together and watch TV if they wanted to.
When I was there, I thought they were getting ready to put on some kind of play, but I really don't know because I knew my parents were old enough that they would probably wouldn't get involved in it, but they would give you a list of activities that they do put on every other day. Each month, they had something going on. I didn't pay much attention to it because I knew my parents were old enough that they wouldn't care about it.
They told us how nice the place was. What was nice was they could either do their laundry whenever they wanted to or had some kind of assistance if they needed to do their laundry, and it wasn't once a week or twice a week; it was whenever they wanted it done. One thing that would probably nice for my mother was they had church every day. She would love something like that, and the church was right there; you don't have to go outside. I thought they had their own beauty parlor there to do their hair. I thought there was a place where my dad could on the computer, and that's what he liked to do. They had a room with 3 or 4 computers, and you could be in that room if you wanted to be. They had a pretty good size dining room. I thought they could fit 4 or 5 people at a table, there was quite a few of them, and it wasn't like it was going to be cramped or anything. I felt safe that they would be all right there.
I was pretty much satisfied with everything. The only thing I didn't like because I know in my heart that my mother wouldn't like it because she was hard at hearing and she was blind; they told me that at dinner time, every day they would make you sit at a different table. I knew they were doing that so you could get involved with other people and maybe have some different friendships, but if you were blind and you couldn't see, you don't want to be moved from table to table. You would want to pick a table and stay there.
