They're friendly at Montgomery Place. It's a nice facility with a library and nice rooms with nice views near the university. The guy who showed me around was very friendly and showed me everything. He also called me to follow up a couple of times. They have a good follow-up system.

Montgomery Place was the most convenient place for me. I was impressed with it because it was a lovely looking institution. They had a lot of different activities. When I was there, there was a group in a choir singing absolutely beautifully. It was quite an intellectual community. The staff was excellent, very polite, extremely helpful, and very communicative.

Montgomery Place was very expensive, very complete, and very clean; all of the different aspects were extremely good. They certainly had a very good and complete facility. The apartments were beautiful and had a big variety of different ones. They had classes from the University of Chicago and different activities, plus a 24-hour swimming pool. They have an exercise room and a library, and everything you could want. From what I saw, it was a 5-star place.

Montgomery Place was very beautiful. The views were wonderful. Several of the apartments also overlooked Lake Michigan. Again, not huge apartments, but they were adequate. They had one, two and three-bedroom places. The staff, again, was very accommodating. They also had very pleasant lounge, and they seemed to have quite a few social activities. The staff did a lot of follow-up calls to make sure that we did not have unanswered questions.

I went to visit Montgomery Place. They said it's a premier facility, but for me, it’s not. It’s large and seemed kind of cold and impersonal. The rooms were nicely appointed. We looked in the assisted living part where you can bring your own furniture.

Montgomery Place is a great community. It’s a new and clean place, and the apartments are nice and adequate. I was able to play some of their activities. They have groups for reading books and poetry. I liked their exercise program as well as their weekly music concerts. I was impressed with their dining area and food.

Montgomery Place was a pleasant community, and it's by the lake. There were nice rooms. The people were friendly. We went to a lecture on writing autobiographies, and we saw people volunteering information. It had nice restaurants, and they had a little pool. It was all clean, busy, and very nice.

The only one that I found closer to where I live was Montgomery Place. A lot of the University of Chicago professors retire there. It's a lovely place, and you can do anything with the apartments. The views were lovely, but it's a buy-in, and like the apartments that my husband and I really liked, we would have to put down $275,000. When I put down $275,000, I want to own something. But you still are actually renting it, and then you get 90% or 80% back when you move if your place is rented. There's a whole lot of contingencies there, but they can carry you from independent living right through nursing home.
