We toured The Fremont Senior Living. Other than the marketing person, we haven't had any interaction with the staff necessarily too much. One day my mother-in-law went for another look. She had been there a few times and the marketing person had shown her the available room. And then another day, my mother-in-law and her daughter went to just take one more look, and the marketing person was not available, but there was a housekeeper that was there, and she was very kind and showed them the room because it was unlocked because she had been cleaning it, so that worked very well. They were very accommodating.
They have a beauty salon, a library, an exercise room, and a restaurant or café that you just order off the menu at any time of the day between 7 in the morning and 7 in the evening, so you can come and order at will. They don't have a pool or an aqua aerobics pool at all, which was a bit disappointing. They have a cute little outdoor seating area adjacent to the restaurant so that people can take their food outside and eat if they wish. They have covered parking for some of the apartments.
They have what they call a demonstration kitchen. If somebody wants to have a gathering of their family, like if they want to bake some cakes, cookies, cupcakes or whatever, and they want to have a larger space in which to do it, they can use the demonstration kitchen. They have a private dining room where they can serve private dinners to the residents' families if it's reserved and such as that. They have a little coffee shop area so that people can come here and get drinks 24 hours a day. They keep the demonstration kitchen stocked with different snacks and desserts that the people might want to come and grab during off hours when the restaurant is not open. They keep sandwiches in the coffee shop area as well as in a cooler there for residents to come at off hours if the restaurant is not open.
I was impressed that all of their apartments have full-sized kitchens. They're stocked with full-sized refrigerators and dishwashers. I thought that was kind of a waste actually, but it was nice if somebody is still inclined to do much cooking. They certainly have a dishwasher to assist them in cleaning up. There were a few downsides to this particular location versus some other ones that we looked at, but it's the one that my mother-in-law liked best, and she's the one that's going to live there, so it's her choice. Their marketing person was very nice and pretty accommodating. I haven't eaten there, but their menu looks good as far as what's available.

The Fremont Senior Living is quite a bit more expensive than other places I've visited. They used to be actual condos, so their square footage is way bigger but the common area is really small. The dining room is really small, so I didn't care for it much. The outdoor area was not great, there didn't seem to be any green space and it was mostly just a parking lot. I saw some people that were in a dining room but it wasn't mealtime, they were just visiting together. I didn't see any other activities going on. The facility was very clean, very nice, and very well updated, but it was also very expensive.

I went to The Fremont Senior Living. It was very nice. The staff kept in touch. I liked the apartments very much. They were in the process of redoing the rooms, putting in new appliances in the kitchen. It was spacious. The dining area was nice. Everything looked neat. I'm impressed with the 55+ communities here in Springfield.

The Fremont Senior Living was the one that didn't measure up at all. They have their campuses -- several buildings, with each building having a small dining area, and independent from the other buildings. The food was not that impressive. It was small, the tour guide didn't have any personality compared to all the others. I think they were filled up, so they might be doing something right. The tour guide was OK, but nothing to write home about.

We went to The Fremont Senior Living. My experience overall was pretty exceptional. The staff that I met was very kind and warm. Betsy was the tour guide, and she went out of her way to both accommodate a schedule change for us. She was very attentive and very pleasant. She was a wonderful person for being so young. The rooms are amazing, especially for the competitive price. It had very tall ceilings because it was a former condominium that was turned into senior living. The apartments are older condos. So while the facility itself is an older building (it's like 15 to 17 years old), it did not look like that at all. The renovations that they were doing in some of their rooms were really stellar.
The size of their rooms were large. They were the largest room size of all the places, and they had some nice design elements in the way that the kitchen was set up. Overall, it was exceptional for the price. Although it is in the middle of town, you can't really tell because they put the memory care and assisted living villas around the campus. It's kind of like its own small community. It's set far enough away from the busyness of some of the roads; you really couldn't tell that you're in the middle of the city. Overall they were on par with everyone else.

We moved into The Fremont Senior Living. First of all, the food is very good. We have one meal a day, and it's very good. I was very surprised. We have lots of space in our three bedroom, two baths, and a two car garage. They also do the housekeeping, and all the maintenance. We got a beautiful little backyard for our little ones, and our little grand babies to play in. It's really a God thing that we got this for us right now. It's a little downsized because we had a big house, and we need to really downsize since we're older. They're very careful with COVID, which is good because you don't know if this thing is over yet. They want you to wear a mask if you haven't been vaccinated. Most people in here are vaccinated, but we're not. I just don't think it's good for a person to get vaccinated, but that's our opinion. We're staying low so we don't have to worry about giving anybody anything or getting it, but they didn't make us get vaccinated, which is really funny. They ask us if we were interested two times, but they didn't force that. They did with other people, but I think it was before we came in, which was funny, so it's another God thing for us, because we just feel very strongly that it's not a good thing, but we understand other people's opinions. The staff is pretty young, some of the people that we were talking to were 20 or 30, and the other ones are 40 or 50. They don't have an older group of staff here, and they were all very nice. They got all sorts of activities. They have an exercise room, and a pool that is handicap friendly. They have bingo, aerobics, and they have Bible studies, which we may be interested in doing. The staff seems really nice, and the cook comes out to talk to you. You can order food and take it out, or you can stay and eat. They have a wide selection for food.

We went to The Fremont Senior Living. They really weren't able to show us a whole lot, as far as the rooms themselves, they did not show us the rooms. They just showed us the amenities for the senior living community like the dining area and the living area. It was very clean, neat, cheerful and inviting. The staff is very friendly. I thought it was a great place.

I did an in-person tour of The Fremont Senior Living. It was a very nice community, quiet, spacious, and with great staff. I'm very happy with it. We did the independent only because of the COVID.
Bill
The Fremont was very good and clean. The staff was excellent. The activities appeared to be appropriate, like morning workouts. The food was good. The only thing we had a problem with was it was hard to get out onto the street because of heavy traffic.

I was very impressed with The Fremont. They have their own personal home because laundry is in their own apartment. They don't have to go out down the hallway to do their laundry. The apartments were very nice and roomy, and the facilities were also nice. They have an exercise room and all kinds of things. We got a calendar of activities and they are very busy people.

The Fremont was very nice and clean but a little expensive. The staff was very friendly, seemed to be very caring, and knew most of the residents by name. It seemed to be a home rather than a hotel.

We liked the Fremont. We liked their space, they had more space in their rooms, and the rooms were well laid out. They also have quite a bit of closet space. The grounds were OK.

The Fremont was a very nice facility with roomy and nice apartments. Everyone we dealt with was very nice and interacted with my grandmother, not just me. The whole tour was nice. They showed us a beauty shop, an activity center, and a dining area. It was more upscale, clean, didn't have an odor, and was a much nicer facility.

The Fremont was very nice and up-to-date. They had lots of different floor plans, but I was impressed with just the place overall; it was up-to-date, nice, and pleasant smelling. They had lots of different young people working there who were pretty upbeat. I was there several times, so I don’t think they were necessarily putting on a show for me. They had different sizes of rooms from single studios to much larger rooms. I really just looked at one of the smaller ones because it is just my mother by herself. It would not be two people or two wheelchairs in there. Their dining area was pretty open, and you could get most anything you wanted anytime of the day. They have Sunday brunch every Sunday with different stations around like an omelet station or a waffle station, and all the people who live there can have their families come and eat with them. They seem to have newer facilities, more activities, and more things -- just activities going on in the place.

The Freemont is a very nice facility, and they offer from the very basic all the way up to Alzheimer's care. They had an exercise room which was something my father-in-law would be interested in, a little library, and a calendar with different things planned and different activities that they could get involved in. I was very impressed with them.

Fremont was nice. It had independent little house duplexes which were awfully nice, but to get there you had to go outside. I had a friend who was going to go to the Fremont, and she’s going to have one of the duplexes. When I was there, they were setting up an outdoor barbeque, but it was raining that day, so I did know how well it went. We also went to the lodge part of the Fremont, and they were waiting for someone to come back. They kind had a red carpet out for somebody to come back from the hospital or something like that. I just remember all the people right there waiting for a person to arrive. I thought that was pretty neat. The menu looked good. They seemed to have good food to serve. They had probably the nicest rooms. I remember they were more modern, newer, and more open. I looked at both the duplexes and the two or three stories building. They were exceptional.

The Fremont was very nice. It's a little confined, but they cater to their patients. Everything was very good. The dining room was small, but they pride themselves on serving good, healthy food. They have a cook who caters to the residents in how they want things and what they want. They have some Alzheimer's patients that just come for daycare. It is limited to I believe 16 patients. It's a large community but most of them are able to live in the homes on their own. I was very impressed with the memory care section.

I like that the Fremont has individual small houses. With regards to the rooms, they let you do anything you want. You can change the carpet, and they give you a $1000 move-in allowance. They also help with painting or whatever. The staff is very personable and caring. They are willing to answer any questions or do anything that you want. They invited us to eat lunch there, and the food was very good. We also met the chef. The facility is very clean, and it's new. It's only 4 years old, and so everything is very, very nice. They have a lot of different activities that my parents were interested in. They are not there yet because they are still waiting to sell their house.

We were able to visit The Fremont when we were looking at the retirement apartments. The facility was large and more modernized than any other retirement communities we went to, and we were very impressed with that. They were more open and updated. We really like that. The prices were some of the most reasonable prices, which surprised us. My mom is going to be moving in there next month. The staff were very friendly and also make time for us when we come in with questions. They were very attentive and helpful. They didn’t have as many social outings that some of the other communities did, but they went to different grocery stores every Tuesday. They went to Wal-Mart every Thursday, and then they did have occasional outings where they went to movies or to other types of entertainment activities. They have a lot of social activity there on the premises.
