I've lived in The AbbeWood since last November. They told me that it is independent living, but I would have to qualify it as a nursing home and not an independent living. It's not run like what I'm used to. I am very unhappy and I can't wait to get out of here; I just don't like it. I have the strangest feeling here. I'm not comfortable at all, and I want to get out. The staff is fine, the front-desk people are very good, they're very friendly, and the beautician is wonderful. The food is terrible, though, but the facility is adequate. The apartment is adequate. I have a studio apartment that's very simple and very plain. It's adequate; it does what it's supposed to do. With what I pay for rent, I don't think that I am getting my money's worth. They don't have a garden, although they're making one. They don't have an outside -- there's nothing outside. In other words, if you want to go outside to take a walk, you can do that: there's a sidewalk out front. As for a place to sit and enjoy the beautiful scenery, there is no scenery, and there are no outside areas at all. I wouldn't recommend it if you desire to have an outside place to sit, like I used to do at my former place. I would sit out in front and it was so nice. Here, there is nothing to look at except traffic and another building -- that's it.

My mother was a resident of the ABBEWOOD for over 10 years. She was independent living for most of those years! It was not like anything I had ever thought a IL facility would be. The staff was amazing (yes there was some turn over in that time period) but everyone we came in contact with was caring and compassionate. They all went out of their way to assure that not only my mom was comfortable, but that we as a family were also! My mom's apartment was kept very clean as was the rest of the facility. There were events going on many days and they would even go up and remind my mom of these and walk her down! They had staff doing nails on Mondays, guest speaker and singers and bingo. There outings calendar was always filled and it helped to make the residents feel as if they were independent but also cared for. I can say it was a positive experience and I was very sad when we had to move her due to declining mental and physical health! The Abbewood is amazing and well worth the visit if you are looking for a caring, clean, well run and fabulous place to reside!
