My mother-in-law moved in at Village Manor Retirement last month. It is the perfect place for her. We chose it because of the location, the price, and the amenities. They have an excellent staff there. They have a pool table, shuffleboard, and a salon. They provide 3 meals a day. They also have a snack room, where you can go anytime and get coffee, tea, chocolates, or little snacks. Your family can visit in that room. They have a couple of lounges. They have musicians come in. They have piano players come in. They have entertainment and activities. It is less expensive compared to a lot of other places.

Village Manor Retirement was a very nice facility. We were favorably impressed with it. The first thing that we saw was the outside of the building and everything was very well kept on the outside and in the courtyard. It was very well maintained. The interior was very well done. It was attractive, warm, and welcoming. The people were very friendly. The residents seemed to be happy. They were eating and talking with each other and we saw them after dinner. They gathered around in the lounge area and waited for people to pick them up outdoors. The apartments that they had were very nice and very well planned. I can't find fault in it at all. The thing that we have to think about for our own situation is the care and the cost of it. Whether or not they were in wheelchairs, there was no evidence of any difference in the way people were treated or talked to. It was very nice.

We toured Village Manor Retirement. The physical appearance is beautiful. It's 14 years old, you wouldn't know if it's four months old. It's beautifully kept. It's very well lit. It has wide-open spaces for people to walk, especially people who need walkers or other assistance. My domestic partner liked the fact that it was bright and open. You walk in, the lobby is very big, it's got comfortable sofas. People are sitting and chatting. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the facility and the family that has cared for it for 14 years. We had residents coming up, introducing themselves to us. Several wanted to show him their rooms, and he gladly took a look at the rooms. We saw empty rooms that he was very surprised at, because of the size, all the windows, and an enclosed patio, and he liked the idea very much. There's a wonderful, comfortable library with a fireplace where people sit and read books or listen to their cell phones and with their earbuds, and they can just sit and be comfortable, and read or listen. We didn't have a meal, but we were told that the food was very good. There's variety. The portions are good- sized. We toured the first and second floors. The second floor is nice and bright and has a lot of little spaces where you could sit and be comfortable and just be quiet. There's also a little bowling table up there, you could play games with family members and things. We were very impressed. The grounds were beautiful, lots of woods around, and it was very easy to get to major cross streets, and major freeways. It was very accessible. You don't hear a lot of road noise because the facility is kind of set up way back from the road. So it's very nice to drive up there and see it, and when you're sitting out on the patio, which we did, you don't hear a lot of the road noise. So that was nice. The tour director Jana was wonderful. She knows so much about the place and pointed out a lot. We left with a terrific package of information, room sizes, pricing, and what's included. We met with the two medical people who were very forthcoming. My domestic partner has a drug regimen because he is immunosuppressed from a lung transplant. So he had some very critical medications that can't be disrupted, and they were very good at giving me the name of the pharmacy that they worked through. So they were wonderful with him. They spent about 20 minutes talking to him, finding out about his blindness, and what they could do for him. The tour was a very positive experience, but the medical part was especially important for him.

I'm going with Village Manor Retirement for my mom for respite. My tour was great. They were nice, answered all our questions, and it was a beautiful place. I like that the location is close to my home, and the people that I spoke with were very helpful, it was clean and open, and airy. It was a nice place and my mom likes it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were planning an event that day, and it was really fun, it was like a Hawaiian thing that was cute. It's on East Highland Road which is the main road, so it's a three-lane road that's easily accessible. The grounds are beautiful, very well maintained, they have balconies overlooking, the green space.

Village Manor was really nice. It was a newer facility. Their pricing was a little high, I thought. The rooms were nice. They were good size. The dining room was nicer. The staff was helpful and informative.

I toured Village Manor Retirement for my mom, and it was very beautiful. It was very clean, and it was laid out really nicely. The only negative thing from my mom's perspective would be that the laundry is not in the rooms, so it would be hard for her to do her laundry without having to pay for it. They're very clean, everybody seems happy there, but it's just a little on the expensive side for a lot of seniors, especially the ones who don't have a lot of money. The staff is very knowledgeable. The place is very clean, very organized, and they take a lot of pride in their facility.

I'm gonna be going to Village Manor. It's nice and clean, and everybody is very happy. My apartment is a typical 1-bedroom. The building is well-maintained and clean, and they have a courtyard.

I visited Village Manor Retirement. They were very nice and very welcoming. They had primarily one- and two-bedroom apartments. The dining room itself was nice, bright, and quite comfortable, and the tables were round. Activities were about the same as what everybody else has like bingo, movies, etc.

I have gotten my folks situated in Village Manor Retirement, and it is a lovely place. My dad says the food is alright. The staff is excellent, and I love them. The apartment is immaculately clean. They have bingo, and they have a senior center.

I don’t have any worries at Village Manor. They treat me fine. I like the meals, and there are services offered. They have an activities program and exercise. They have a library, gathering room, a lobby for people, and a pool table. The staff is very helpful, warm, and friendly. It is not homey but certainly an adequate place to stay. I'm happy, and I’m satisfied with it.
