The Villas was very nice. It's a recent build, so it's beautiful. The amenities were lovely. It was a very nice experience. It was very small. We were told that they had availability, but when we went there, they had this one teeny 500 square foot unit available. The other units were very nice, but very tight as well. They had a couple of outside units with outside access and it felt like zero security. Their only security was, "You're supposed to go to the front desk," and that's not security. It had an external door, so if they left it unlocked, anybody could walk in on your loved ones. Especially my grandmother, who is in the beginning stages of dementia, it felt very unsafe with that type of access. Otherwise, it was very nice. The woman we spoke to was very nice. You had to take a COVID test when you got in, so it felt like they had very good protocols, but it wasn't a good fit. The dining area was very nice and wide open, so it very much felt like a huge restaurant. It didn't really have that cozy feel, but it was a nice area.

We toured The Villas, and it was a pleasant enough place. However, the people that we encountered were quite a lot sicker and more disabled than we are, and it just didn't have much of a very cheery atmosphere. I'm not saying that it was an inferior facility in any way. It just wasn't what we were looking for. The person who took us on the tour was very informative, pleasant, and friendly. I don't think we met anybody else except maybe the person behind the desk. We didn't talk to any of the professional staff at all. We just kind of walked around for an hour or so and got a generalized look at the place. They had movies and some card games and probably some lectures, but I wasn't engaged enough to pay very close attention to them. It looked perfectly acceptable. Certainly clean, well-maintained, and attractive.

My aunt will be moving into The Villas, and I like the setup of it and the new construction. It was very fresh and new. Everything wasn't old and outdated, and I love the decor of it. Mike and Cindy were both wonderful and very helpful. They answered all my questions. They were great. Mike and Cindy were the two people whom I went with to see it, and then I took my aunt. She loved it. They have a movie theater, a beauty salon, and they have a library. They have a lot of different open, quiet sitting spaces, or community space for everyone to enjoy. They have a happy hour every day. They will do trips when everything opens back up. They have beautiful grounds and amenities; the grounds are beautiful. The set up was nice. We saw where they serve the meals, and they have a chef there. They don't do a lot of farm-to-table food.

The Villas was very, very nice. They're only beginning to get residents because they opened right before Covid. They had to shut down again. Right now, there are 25 residents there. They hold a maximum of 95 residential apartments. It was very nice, but right now it's very quiet. It's very clean and very quiet. They have not had Covid issues at all. It's one building that has two wings, and I think it was 3 floors. There was a floor below ground level that had the activity room and things like that. They have different floors. One floor was assisted living and another floor was independent living. We didn't try the food, but they gave us a box of cookies which were very good. The staff was very nice and very pleasant too. They were very accommodating. They had a game room where they played cards, Scrabble, and Monopoly. They had a little stage where they do entertainment. They haven't had that a lot though because of the virus. They had a bar downstairs where they do a happy hour every night or every afternoon.

The facilities are without question "Five Star". Our Mom was one of the early residents in this brand new facility with which no expense was spared. The food and amenities with Movie center, work out room, library, salon, etc. are all outstanding. But above all else, the staff at The Villas is exceptional! Caring, responsive, and loving to residents and their families alike. To say my family an I have great piece of mind knowing our Mom is at The Villas, with the most wonderful people caring for her, is an understatement. Top Shelf!
