Oakmont of Varenna is very nice. I visited it when I was up north, and it was quite impressive. It looks like a cozy community. You get one meal a day. They have gardens if you're interested in little garden boxes, and they have a movie theater and library. I saw two rooms, two units, and they looked very nice. I only met one staff, and she took me around. She seems to be very knowledgeable. I spoke to another one on the phone when I first made contact, and they seemed very friendly. The place looks wonderful. It looked beautiful, and everything was lovely.

Very good. Hope to live out my life out here. I don't think there is a better place in the USA like this.

Varenna in Sta. Rosa was great, and it’s where we would like to go. It’s the best place we’ve seen in California and probably Arizona. We liked the architecture and the quality of the people that lived there. We liked the setting, the variety, and dining facilities. We liked the fact that they had a gym and an indoor and outdoor swimming pool. We liked the fact that they were friendly toward the children, the way it’s maintained, and the continuum of care available. They have active senior community association. They have activities going on the community, and they have various clubs.

Everything at Varenna was beautiful except it was too expensive. The staff was fine, and they have a pool, golf, clubs, and movies for their activities.

Varenna at Fountaingrove was lovely. It was absolutely impressive. I liked it very much. I liked the individual casitas and all that. The reason I did not go there was that it wasn't in my community. I wanted to be close to my friends and where I lived now. My visit was wonderful. The staff could not have been nicer. It was a beautiful place and the staff was wonderful. The lunch was wonderful. I could not say anything negative.

Varenna at Fountain Grove was very fancy and not for us. Our visit was not a good experience because he was trying very hard to sell us the idea of the place, it really wasn’t for us, and he was not listening to what we were interested in. So, we did not want anything to do with that one. We had a complete tour, and we were not impressed at all. We saw the whole place, and the person who was selling to us was very pushy and insisted on showing us every little detail, and we weren’t interested in it. It was not a good experience for us. It was a very lovely place, but it was not welcoming to me. Other people might have different opinions because there might be interested in other things that they saw there.

Varenna at Fountaingrove is very nice and excellent. It's like living in a country club. Each room has a small but full kitchen. Meals are included. There is a movie theater, swimming pool, exercise room, beauty salon, crafts room, and game room. The view is beautiful. The facility is adjacent to a golf course that residents can use. There is also a lake with little boats that residents can use.

I visited a place called Varenna. It was frankly a nice facility. You can get a bigger place or a smaller place, a little care or a lot of care. It has a lot of amenities, and I think it is probably one of the nicer ones that you would run into. It was a very nice place. If you can afford it, I would highly recommend it.

We were satisfied with Varenna. I liked the lifestyle and amenities that they had. The whole community was fine. It was clean, well maintained, and well kept. Everything was excellent. It was one of the better ones I had looked at.

We've been to Varenna at Fountaingrove, and their food is lovely. It seemed like they have recruited people to come from many other places because we didn’t see any familiar faces, and it is just near to where we live. They built it to be absolutely gorgeous. Their rooms are lovely, and it is very nice, but we just didn’t feel very at home there.

Varenna is updated; the room is about 22 square feet, and they have beautiful grounds. It is located in a nice neighborhood with a golf course. The staff is excellent and very accommodating, however the food is mediocre. They had a swimming pool, gym, and exercise classes.

Varenna at Fountaingrove is like living in a five star hotel. The thing is you have to be independent when you go into this facility. The food is pretty good in this facility. You pay a certain amount for your food, and then if you don’t use it at all, you can invite your family and friends to come and eat to use up the money.
