I like the community feeling at Gable Pines. I like the room layouts, I like the availability of rooms with balconies or patios, and I like the staff. There were just many different attractive venues available within the building itself. We looked at an independent living room. They have a full kitchen in the unit. The person who showed me around was knowledgeable, pleasant, courteous, and paid attention to our needs. They have many activities.

I went to Gable Pines. The woman who gave the tour was very knowledgeable and very helpful. We got to see a lot of it. I was very impressed with the fact that they had someone there to help if you wanted to do some artistic things. There was also a woman who leads exercises and things like that. I was very impressed with the fact that they had services like that readily available for people. We saw just one of the units because that was all that they could show us. It was the normal kind of thing that you find in a lot of senior housing. It had a walking path, which was very nice. She gave us some soup that they had fixed, which we took home. We could have eaten there, but we didn't want to. They have a chef on-staff that actually fixes the food, which I was very impressed with.

Gable Pines was a very nice place. It was beautiful and the people were really kind and very friendly. Not only the staff but the residents as well. They've got all the amenities and it's clean. It's just more expensive and they do not have the availability of a two-bedroom apartment that my parents need.

The Gable Pines facilities were terrific. The apartments were beautiful, the common areas there were great. They had an active activities coordinator and functions, and it seemed like they had a lot of active residents. The person that took me on the tour was very helpful and was terrific. There's a library and a sort of a chapel space, like a worship/library space, it's wonderful. It felt very homey and they have nicer amenities than the other place I toured.

We looked at a couple of rooms at Gable Pines. They were really neat and clean, and some of them had balconies, which was nice. They also had a nice walking path, they had a lot of activities, a big, huge arts and crafts room, Bible studies, and a nice movie theater room. They had lounge areas where he could play games and do puzzles. The person who gave the tour was good. They answered all the questions, showed us all the different amenities, and were very informative and helpful. They sent us home with a couple of cookies.

Gable Pines was very nice. They just didn't have all the activities that the other places have. I'm into exercising and stuff like that, and they're starting to do more with their exercise groups now that COVID is lifting a little bit. As you enter the building, there's a large gathering room, like a living room place where you could talk with your family when they come. It is also for residents to gather to chat and stuff like that. It just didn't have the same vibe for me that the others had. The location was quiet and nice. It's in a residential neighborhood, which is nice. They don't have the public transportation nearby. They have a bus transportation that seemed to be quite adequate. They take people shopping and on Sundays they take them to church. The two-bedroom apartment had washers and dryers, and it was quite nice. They didn't have the big solarium on the rooftop with the outdoor patio, but they had more things at ground level. The dining area seemed nice. They had the chef come and talk to me, and then they provided me with a meal. It was like a hotdog and some coleslaw; it was OK. It just didn't give me an adequate example of what they might serve. They had a nice library, and they're going to start having a book club. They had a schedule for people for exercise with their in-house physical therapist assistant. They had a bible study and things like that. It was a little further away from my daughter's home and from my church, so that was definitely a drawback. I like the nice peaceful setting that it was in, but you don't have the amenities like the other place. It's in a residential area. For people that want that sort of environment, it was good. It wasn't quite the environment that I was looking for. The staff was very nice and she followed up with me. She was quite enthusiastic about the place and certainly gave a good presentation.

My mom is in Gable Pines, and it is absolutely wonderful. The staff is just so fabulous, caring, and genuine. Her experience has been wonderful, and our experience before she even moved in was really wonderful. They're an amazing staff. Because of COVID, she has to isolate in her apartment for 10-14 days. They've been bringing her food into her apartment, and the food is fine. They have games, bingo, and movies. They also have an activities director who does things with them.

Gable Pines has all various levels of care included in the community and my father-in-law is now in the independent living part of it. It's a gorgeous and beautiful place, and it's only a couple of years old. Their apartments are really nice and a decent size for one person. Because of the Corona virus they were quarantined so we're not able to see them but that's something everybody is facing. The concern I have with the staff is that if your loved one needs skilled nursing, they don't have that there. They have staff members that are trained but not certified. They also have a nurse there all the time. My father-in-law seems to like the food, but they're not eating in the dining room but only in their rooms at this time. They have a beautiful dining room, big beautiful library, a lot of the amenities are nice once they'll be able to use them again. I think that the value for the money is right up there with everyone else.

Gable Pines was our favorite. They had a lot of activities and craft rooms. The chef came out and met us and told us about their food there. I liked everything about it. The rooms were big and open enough for aging people, beautiful, bright, and well cared for. They had a lot of different types of rooms, and they're well done. The staff was very caring, kind, and personable.

Gable Pines was bigger and a little bit further from me, but it seemed pretty comparable to where my mother is at. I went there first and it was a little overwhelming as far as the size, which was the main thing I didn't like about it. For somebody that's my mom's age, she probably would have had a hard time finding her way around. As far as their menu and their activities, it was really comparable to where she's at. The staff was very helpful and informative, and the facility seemed really nice other than the size.
