We loved the apartment and the apartment layout at The Meadows of Napa Valley. The down side was the long hallways to get to the individual rooms and they just had three meals a day. There wasn't a kitchen or a restaurant that you could go and just get a snack or have something on off hours. It was a very nice facility, but it just didn't really meet our needs.

It's such a relief to get my loved one in The Meadows of Napa Valley. She is currently in independent living, but she can go to assisted living and then memory care if she needs to. The food is pretty good and the facility itself is very nice. The accommodation/rooms were also very nice. Some of them are brand new with modern appliances. Some are very large. They go from one-bedroom to two-bedroom and some of the two-bedroom apartments are larger than my house, like 1500 square feet. So, that's all good. It is just expensive. There is an entry fee to get in and then it's a monthly rent. So, it's pretty high. Independent living is fine. You pay for one meal a day, or two or three. (She's currently paying for three meals a day.) They have a cafe, a restaurant, and they do quite a bit of activities. They have a putting green outside, a swimming pool, they arrange dances and a lot of variety of activities. So that's pretty good. They offer a lot of socialization and activities. Unfortunately with COVID-19, and even now, they're just starting to open up. You still have to wear masks and visitors have to have proof of vaccines and all that stuff, but overall, I'm well impressed with their activities.

I'm going to independent living at The Meadows of Napa Valley. It was very good and beautiful. It had happy people so it’s a very happy place. The food was good. I liked everything about. I'm getting a studio place with a big alcove for a bedroom, and it has a patio which goes out into a garden. They have a lot of activities.
