My parents will be moving to The Village of River Oaks. I once was invited to a barbecue there, so I went. The people there and the director, Laura, she was very nice and offered to show me if I wanted to see the apartment. I said I just want to meet the residents, and so she took me around and introduced me to more than a dozen people who were just so nice. The residents there, the staff, everybody was just really nice people. It had a good home feeling to it. It wasn't super duper fancy or crazy, but it was really nice and kept up clean. All the residents were clean, they were all well taken care of, so it's more the feel of it that I really liked. My dad was not in the best of health and I explained that to the directing nurse, and I asked whether they can go in as independent or assisted. She asked me to write up some information about his medications and prognosis, and they accepted him and his mom. I don't know how long they're going to be independent, but that's a good place to start. They have the option to make their own meals or go to the dining room that serves three meals a day. We stayed for lunch and it was so good. They also have a full kitchen, a full refrigerator, and everything in their own apartment. Every Friday night they have happy hour down in the main guestroom or ballroom or living room, and so they get together and they have drinks, and they have a band or something every Friday. Once a month, they do a big event out on the patio, which is really nice. It just brings everybody together; that was the barbecue thing that I went to. They also have daily exercise classes every day, a pool, and they have an activities room. The facility is eight stories, it's very nice. The monthly fee is a bit high compared to some of the other places we looked at. The company is currently painting their apartment and they'll be moving in.

The Village of River Oaks was beautiful with lots of beautiful common areas. The menu in the dining facility looked fantastic, the people and the staff that I met were very nice and professional. It's a new facility, and I like the location. They also have meals, but I did not sample them.

My overall experience of touring The Village of River Oaks was excellent. Their amenities are unbelievable, I think I could live there. Their food, the service, the people, the facilities, they're very, very nice. It's only like four years old. They have an indoor swimming pool, they have a pool table, movie nights, a craft room where they can do puzzles. They also have trips to museums and things, if you like. They have very, very good food, I can attest to that. My brother will be moving in there.

I didn't want to go to The Village of River Oaks because I thought it was too far out from where I needed to be, but after seeing it, I decided it's lovely, and I'm moving in there. I walked in and there was a very, very warm feeling about it. I looked at some others that were very cold, and this was very comfortable and decorated beautifully. It really is very, very lovely. It has an elegance about it, and I'm very pleased with it. The staff was pleasant and took me around, and they're following up with things that I needed. They've been very good. It's a very good facility, very nice, laid out well, and there were a sufficient number of elevators at different locations.

We visited The Village of River Oaks. They had some very nice apartments, although some of the better ones on the higher floors were taken up. They didn't have a very flexible plan for meals. Essentially, you have to eat all your meals there. They had very nice kitchens and you can cook on your own if you want to, but you have to pay for meals, and that's not a very workable situation. The other thing we don't like about the place was it's awfully crowded. The buildings were very crowded together. There's absolutely zero green space, so you're essentially living in a hotel and also the lower floors look out on a whole bunch of electrical stuff. There's no room to break it up with some green space. It's not a place that we would consider moving to. There are many places that allow flexible meal plans, and this place does not. The people who work for them are wonderful. The price is on the high end, but it's not because of the rent on the apartment, but because you're required to eat all the meals there.
