I toured The Canopy at Walden Woods. It was nice. They had everything. They had elevators, and they had a weight room. It was really nice. The rooms that we looked at were OK. I would recommend that people go there from what I've seen of it. The rooms were like a studio apartment with a big bathroom. The staff were really nice. They explained everything. We didn't see anybody doing activities, but there was a TV room and a library.

The Canopy at Walden Woods was a fairly new facility. It was a smaller place and I liked it. The location was a bit more private. The rooms seemed clean and well taken care of. I liked its price as well. I liked the lady that gave me the tour.

My mom was at The Canopy at Walden Woods. The staff wasn't very friendly. They actually told us that they were advised not to get friendly with the residents. They would look down or not even acknowledge the residents. It was very odd. It's the opposite of what I would think you would want to be in a facility like that, so that's something that my mom had a hard time with. She always felt like they were avoiding her or just guilty because they looked down all the time. It was odd. The food was bland. There was only one offering of a hot meal, and then if you wanted maybe a sandwich or something instead you could choose, and that was the only thing they had. They didn't have a menu per se that you could choose from. It was very strict. I think the one time that I ate there they had a hot dog, and this was their night meal. It was a hot dog with ground beef on top of it, and then like a swipe of mustard on top of that. It was awful, and so I never ate there again. My mom had a one-bedroom with a living room. It was a little bit bigger than where she is now. The bedroom was fine. She had a walk-in closet, which was huge, so there was a big difference. The activities were good. They had stuff going on all the time. They would post pictures of the residents. Their activities director was great. She would come and get my mom and take her walking. She loved to walk. They're really good with that kind of stuff. Some of the staff remained friendly, too.

My mom moved into The Canopy at Walden Woods. It is a very nice and clean place. The people are very nice and helpful. They're taking pretty good care of my mom. Everybody has been very polite. They have activities like coloring Easter eggs. My mom played bingo a few times. They have exercises. They try to keep people busy. My mom got a studio and has a refrigerator and air conditioner. We brought her a microwave there. The bathroom was very clean. It is a brand-new facility, and they keep it very clean. There is a courtyard, a little putting range, an activity room, and a playroom.
