Arbor Lakes Senior Living was very, very nice. We toured both independent and assisted living and it's very beautiful. The wood was very dark, but very elegant. The salesperson wasn't quite as warm, but he was informative and knowledgeable. They had a pool table and different things on different floors. They had laundry inside the units. The upkeep was very good.

Arbor Lakes' rooms were lovely and the food was very good. The place was very clean. There were lots of different activities. It was like a hotel situation where people were talking and chatting. It looked like new construction. Planting more trees and foliage would be nice.

Arbor Lakes was the one we put our name in. I found the staff very helpful. They took us up and showed us a unit that was empty (it was going to be filled the next day) so it was nice to be able to see one of the units. It’s a relatively new facility, so everything of course is fairly up to date. I would say we were favorably impressed that we signed our name. We didn’t put money down but we are on a waiting list. They have good lighting in the units. There are a lot windows and every unit faces outside and half of it faces a small lake. But things change and people have to go to a different level of care. That’s what we would like: to be able to go to independent living and then transition when we have to. There they have a beauty salon and fitness center, and they provide brunch -- which is a very complete meal -- from eight to ten, and then you can purchase other meals. The one brunch is included in the rent. The place is homey, very warm, and inviting. It’s also very close to quite a large shopping area.

We went to see Arbor Lakes and that place was absolutely gorgeous. It is new and fully booked. There you can live with your spouse who has dementia in an apartment complete with a little kitchen.
