Mill Creek Manor didn't offer a lot of the stuff that I saw at the other place, but it was nice and clean and they've got friendly staff. They're a little bit cheaper, too. The apartment was great. It was definitely something that I could live in without any problem. They keep the grounds clean. It's a comfortable place. I didn't see an exercise room though. I went there for independent, but I also saw the assisted living. The residents had just finished up bingo and they all seemed happy. I saw their dining area. I didn't see their menu, but they told me they had three meals a day. Everything else was nice and clean and taken care of. The grounds were well taken care of and manicured. They provide transportation to take you shopping and to your doctors' appointment.

I liked the fact that Mill Creek Manor was more set up for independent living because your apartment was not attached to the main building. You drive over to your apartment, but they also had care on-site. One of the residents showed me her apartment and she was just saying how they made some accommodations for her. In the main building, they have a dining facility and a nurse on call. Then they transport you to doctor's appointments. The nurse was the one that assisted me and she was very nice taking me around and answering all of my questions except about cost. She couldn't answer that part, but everything else she was very informative about.

My father is at Mill Creek Manor and everything has been great so far. Everyone has been super nice. He has a two-bedroom, one-bath apartment with a living room, a full kitchen that has a lot of cabinet space, a front little porch, and a back little porch where he can sit outside and watch the sun and/or the woods, a pantry, a washer-dryer area, and a full walk-in shower, which is easier for him to use. So everything is really, really nice. His dog is free to be on his leash in his apartment, so he's very happy with everything that he does. They also have other room sizes, like a two-bedroom with two baths/one bath, as well as studios. He can have the option to go to the facility to eat his meals. They have a full dining staff and housekeeping services. They did the Veterans Day activity, which was in the main building, where they had someone come out from the floor to speak with all the veterans, thanking them for their service. They also have arts and crafts, options to play card games, chess, and a lot of different things.

I like the way that Mill Creek Manor was laid out. The apartments are all on the first floor, so no matter which you take, you have a first-floor entrance. Everybody was very nice, the manager was extremely nice and I even met a couple of the people that are going to be living there already. It seemed to be a very pleasant place. It's a nice facility, you can have a washer and dryer in your apartment, they take care of all the utilities and they offer food. So if you want to have your food made for you, you can, and if you don't want to, you don't have to choose that part of it. It.s nice because they have independent dining, they have assisted living dining and they have memory care dining.

I visited Mill Creek Manor in person and I was very happy with the tour. I liked that community, and if they have an opening I would be happy to put my sister there. I went there during the morning, so everything was quiet. The manager did a really good job, I was pleased with everything. I didn't see their studio, but she showed me a two-bedroom two-bath, and I was pleased with the setup and everything. It was really well-kept, including the outdoors. I also saw someone from housekeeping going around collecting the trash. The overall living atmosphere and layout seemed good. I got there a little early, but the staff was very attentive and wanted to make sure that someone had spoken to me.

I visited Mill Creek Manor (Formerly Amara Place). I'm on their list, and I'm just waiting for an opening. What was nice was they didn't have anyone living upstairs, and the room didn't have a bathtub. The facility was nice and nice sized. The staff was great, nice, and knowledgeable. I saw a library, an activity room, and a beauty salon. The apartment was nice and adequate for my needs.

Amara Place was nice. However, they had more people in the assisted living area than they do in the independent. I met some lovely people there, but there were only about eight people and they were in a very small dining room. They separated the assisted living people from those who can do for themselves because some of the people had to be fed, and some of the people were in wheelchair. It was a little more segregated than I would like for it to be. The group I was with was a much smaller group, but everything was fine. The apartments were modern and very neat. They were not too many all in one place; they were spread out nicely. Food was excellent. They also had diabetic dessert which was so good for me. It was excellent. It was not a large place but it was very well maintained, very fresh, and clean.

Amara Place was very well laid out. I liked that the independent living was separate, but not completely so. They would check on you in the mornings and make sure you're doing OK even though it's independent living. They have nice one- and two-bedrooms. The floor plan was really nice and pleasant. They have arts and crafts, and cards, and if I don't want to cook, I can go out and eat in the hall. It was pleasant and clean. The staff was very efficient and very pleasant, very welcoming when you walk in the door, and very friendly. They're great people, very courteous, and they answered all my questions. It was very well kept. The maintenance was awesome, including the yard. Everything was perfect and topnotch. The price was just way too much out of my bounds for independent living.

We have already moved into Amara Place. All the other clients seem to be very friendly and helpful. The staff got a big growth spurt at the same time we moved in. We eat three meals a day, and it has been good food. They take trips to stores, they have crafts and games, and they have a monthly friends and family night. We visited several different places, but Amara Place was the one that we felt met our needs.
