We went with South Hill Village. My dad is already there. They have an onsite barber shop, which is important for my dad because he likes to keep his hair neat. They have a dining room. They have separate little apartments. They have studios, and they have one-bedrooms. He got a studio because it is just him. They're large and they're like 300 square feet little studios. It has its own separate bathroom and full kitchen. No oven, of course. It offers four days of transportation, which is also very important to us. They gave my dad a pendant, which I really like too. In case he needs assistance, he can call them immediately at any time. The room is empty because it's your own apartment, so he was able to have his own furniture and stuff in there, and that was important to him too. The microwave and the refrigerator were there, and there was a small stove top too. There's a garden with raised beds. You could have pets there if you want. There is a pet walk. There is a lot of shared space. Besides the dining room, there's a large living room area where you can have guests, and then there's a private dining room as well. The director and the staff have been absolutely phenomenal, helping arrange everything to get my dad in there. They help to make it as easy as possible for us to get him out of the rehab and into there. Everybody has just been absolutely wonderful. They went above and beyond. They were very, extremely helpful. It was great. They were very comforting. My dad likes the food and that's a huge plus. They serve breakfast. It's not just a continental breakfast, it's a hot breakfast, which is nice. They have an activities program. They have mini concerts there. I haven't gotten the activity calendar yet, but I know that they have activities for whatever it is that they want to do. They do arts and crafts and stuff on different days. There are things for them to do if they want to get involved. My dad just wants to watch football.

South Hill Village has been very good so far. My mom is really liking it. It's very clean, everyone is very friendly, and they check on her regularly; at least three times a day. And that was something we were looking for. The food that I've had there has been really, really good, and she's very happy with it too. There's not a lot of activities because of the virus.

My mother-in-law is in an assisted living place called South Hill Village. She loves it there. She has actually gained weight, which is really great. We really like it; she is very happy. The rooms are very spacious. My mother-in-law is in a studio apartment on the ground floor. The staff is very caring. If she needs help getting in bed, getting out of bed, or getting dressed, they will come and help her. Because she uses a walker, they escort her to the dining room for meals. She can order anything she wants. They have bingo, they go on outings, and they do housekeeping once a week (as well as laundry). It is a very good place. They're very good to her. It is just awesome. The food is awesome; it is a five-star place. It is nice food. My mother-in-law has a lot to choose from, which is nice. The staff is very friendly every time we're there. They're very helpful and very friendly. My mother-in-law loves the staff members. The building is in good shape, and it is kept up very nicely. She thinks she is on a cruise ship.

My mother has been at Brookdale South Regal since March. It is very nice, very light and open. It is small enough so that they don't get lost and can make friends very easily. There are lots of activities, like bingo, outings, exercise, Mass or church, social hour, and "flex your brain." They have Bible studies on Wednesdays, too, and something going on all the time. The dining area is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. My mother gets three meals a day. We have eaten there with her a couple of times, and their food is very good. They also provide many choices. Once a month, they sit down for a menu chat with the chef, and they can tell them the things that they like and the things that they don't like.

Brookdale South Regal was very clean, friendly, bright, and warm. We really liked it, and my mom chose it becuase she liked the activities and the fact that they have a lot of choices; she could live in the cottage for awhile, or she could move to a bigger room or a smaller one.

Harbor Crest had a unit of only ten people in their memory care facility, which was nice. Their grounds was very nice, it was well landscaped. I only spoke to the lady who gave the tour and she was fine, very professional, but it was a different type of atmosphere, an upscale sort of professional. They need to improve probably on the friendliness of the staff, and then the social setting in the living area didn't seem very happy. They had the TV on, but nobody was talking or anything.

Harbor Crest was very nice. It was very nice and clean. It wasn't near any park, but it had nice grounds, nice facilities, and nice apartments. We only met a couple of people, but they seemed to be pleasant. We saw the dining area, which was very nice, but we didn't try any of the food.

Brookdale Place at Harbor Crest was a little expensive and my mom was not yet ready to move in a facility. It was very nice and pretty. The staff were professional, thorough and they did a great job.

The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. At no time did I ever feel that my grandma's safety was in danger. I would consider the staff to be just like family! I would also highly recommend this facility to anyone in my area who needs an alternate living situation for their loved ones.
