I liked it and would have been my first choice for my mom. I thought the staff was very excellent. I live in Portland, Oregon, and before I went to Evansville to find a place for my mother, the staff had contacted me, set up a Zoom meeting, and a tour. Immediately she accommodated me before I even got there to have an onsite tour. She was very thorough. She introduced me to all her staff that was there. The facility was absolutely clean and beautiful. The studio, which I would have chosen for my mother, was clean. To me, it would have been my choice, except it was private pay and my mother could not accommodate it totally financially without outside assistance. They have movies and games. At the time I was touring, they were playing bingo in the dining room, and it was very relaxed. They have a great courtyard. I'm sure they have music and an entertainment room for movies. They have some seating areas. I remember some garden area just for sitting out and enjoying the weather. I did not get to eat the food or try the food, but I saw the preparations. The staff protected themselves with gloves while handling the food. The menu, from what I remember, was appetizing. It would be something that I would prepare in my own home for dinner.

I toured and it was very nice, neat, and clean. They had a good facility. I think the layouts were fairly nice and would meet our needs. We looked at a one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and they showed us a studio, which was not what we would want. For the one-bedroom layout there were two layouts, and one would be more to our liking. One of them was only big enough for like a double bed, or you could fit a queen-size bed in there. We have a king-size bed, so we were looking for something that would fit that. And the other one would. They had quite a few different layouts that were there. The staff member was awesome. She was very informative and very cordial. She's ex military, so we got to talk about that a little bit. She was just very, very well informed about what we needed and looked at some of the things that were interesting for us. She took quite a bit of time with us so that we would understand what our options were and pointed out a lot of the different things that would be interesting for us, and that was very nice. The dining area was not serving while we were there, but it looked really nice. She introduced the chef, and when we left, they gave us a nice box of cookies that were very good. It was kind of a restful time when we were there. She introduced us to some people that were there and showed us the different areas, like the availability of health care and the laundry room. I think it was a nice facility. The only drawback that we didn't like was it didn't have a private patio that we liked. They had a common area where you could go ahead and share gardening with some other people, but no private area. That area they had outside was quite large, and you could go out there and and pretty much be by yourself if you wanted to, but it was more of an area that had chairs and things where you go and visit with people, which would be fine for me because I'm a visitor. My wife is more of a private person, and she would like an area where she can be by herself.

We visited and they were very informative, answered any questions, and showed me several apartments. We got a great Dutch apple pie hot out of the oven, and they invited us to come out and have lunch. I was impressed. They showed me a studio and two-bedrooms with a bath and a half or two baths that were adequately sized and very nice. They served three meals a day and had a beauty salon and a barber shop. The staff had really good rapport with the tenants. Everyone seemed very friendly.
