My husband and I moved to Waltonwood Cary Parkway, the place is excellent. It's clean and bright, there's a lot of natural light, and they are in the process of redoing the carpeting and updating the facility. The people themselves are awesome. They have lots of options for using various areas for activities and things like that. They have chair dancing, they have crafting, they have art, they have manicures, and pedicures on site, they have a hair salon on-site, a library, and a courtyard. And in the courtyard they have like a miniature putt-putt course, they have a pool table, and they have a poker club. There are just a lot of activities available for different people. The food has been very good so far and the servers are awesome. The food has been very high quality and low in salt, they don't add salt to any of their entrees, it's just a natural occurring. So it's been very good for us. The staff has been fine, everyone that I have met has been very kind and very willing to help in any way that they can. They have a move-in coordinator that helps you coordinate changes, if you need to put something on the wall, they make sure that it gets done. He also makes sure that the people that are moving you in know how to get into the facility as easily as possible. He was very helpful in many ways.

I looked at Waltonwood Cary Parkway and that one, I was not impressed with at all. They were supposedly showing me a certain type of apartment, but what they showed me didn't match the description. Plus the amenities for the bathroom I didn't think were good. It had a short toilet for like kids instead of one for seniors. The shower seemed inadequate. It had a chair in there, but the sliding door that they had was so narrow that if you were overweight, it would be hard to get in and out of. And it only had an overhead shower, so you had to be able to reach up higher than I could reach to use the shower room. I was not impressed at all with the apartment, so therefore the rest of the place didn't interest me too much. They provided two meals a day, one of which was breakfast, but breakfast was only from 8:30 to 9:30 in the morning, and that wouldn't be at all attractive to me because my legs don't move well that early. I just wrote that one off; I'm not intending to consider that one. The staff was friendly, but they didn't seem to respond well to questions or criticisms I had about what they were showing me. I was not that impressed with their amenities. I don't even remember exactly what was there because after they showed me the apartment, I wasn't too interested in the rest. They had a dining room, and it was OK, but it just didn't seem accommodating to people.

Waltonwood Cary Parkway is a multifaceted community. It takes in people that are in bungalows in independent living, assisted living, and then memory care, so it has a full line of services for each level. The people are very supportive. My sister is in independent living right now. They provide all of her meals, except for lunch; she has her lunch in her apartment. She has a two-bedroom-two-bath apartment. It's lovely and it has a balcony. There's a nice amount of space for her. They have many activities. They have a pool, they do brunch every other weekend, and they provide a bus to take you shopping as well as to doctors. So, they provide a lot of services. They have physical therapy on site, and they have a movie theater on-site. It's private pay for her. She has been there for two months now.

We visited Waltonwood Cary Parkway; it's a big place, I liked it. They have assisted living, and it was nice. I know someone there from our synagogue, and my wife and I went and visited him and his wife for about an hour. He didn't like the food too much, but we saw the place, it's nice. We were more interested in the villa there, they were very big, and they had one car garage. The one they had available for us, we weren't interested in. They had a waiting list for the other ones. We just didn't like it, it wasn't nice. They had everything, and they had all kinds of activities. It had a pool, game room, library, art, and exercise room, the usuals. The staff was very nice, and the woman that helped us was very nice. She brought us some food, that was very good. It was sweets and things like that. The facility is very good; it's a big place, my wife didn't like it as much.

My mother just moved in, and all I have to say is we still have stars in our eyes! EVERYTHING and I do mean everything was the highest caliber from the facility to the staff. The room is airy, with a lot of light, a great little lawn area (my mom has a little dog so this is perfect). Lots of storage and little nice touches like having the wall switches enabled so that they can control standing or desk lamps. The grounds are very pleasant, accesible and well lit. But the staff are beyond phenomenal. Each employee we encountered was genuinely friendly, helpful , interesting and kind. They were energetic and engaged and it made such an impression on us. Their activities are varied and they go out of there way to make them fun, like having a “bingo “ auction at the end of the month where they can spend all their “bingo and trivia” winnings betting on prizes. So very clever. The maintenance staff helped us repeatedly and were very attentive and went completely out of their way to accommodate us. Martha, not sure of her title but she coordinated everything and was so informed and helpful, fun and such a problem solver. She approached everything with a can do attitude and we appreciated that. So just have to say we are delighted and so very happy to land here.

Waltonwood Cary Parkway is excellent. I'm quite satisfied with their system. The facilities are neat, clean, and modern. The food is quite good. It seems to be a well-balanced menu. It's conveniently located. My room is freshly painted. The carpet is not new, but it's very close to it. It's neat and clean and my furniture fits into the room well. Everybody is friendly and helpful. It's not perfect, but it's very near it. They have an exercise program every morning on weekdays that starts at 9:00 and runs for 20 minutes to half an hour. It could be affordable to a lot of people, more than some of the others I found.
