Resort Lifestyle Communities

It's an absolutely beautiful facility. It's kept up very well. The staff is great. I think the biggest distraction for me was it was built as a retirement resort, yet fully at least 50% of the residents are either in walkers, motorized carts, or wheelchairs. They're parked all over the place. Having to navigate all those mobility devices negatively affects wait time standing in line for food (often up to 30 minutes). Also, when they're all parked on the second and third floors, that's a recipe for a catastrophe in the event of a fire or emergency situation. I would call it more of a nursing home atmosphere, whereas I expected a more vibrant community of retired people. It's still a really nice place. Housekeeping is fantastic. The concierge - all 3 of them - are fantastic. On weekends, they do work a little short staffed in the dining room, which makes for longer lines. Most of the people are really friendly, although It takes a while to get to know everybody.

Emerald Oaks didn't have any availability for our loved one.

Our family had an in-person tour and we thought it was a really nice tour experience but the apartment our loved one was looking at just did not have a patio, and we wanted her to have a patio with a nice view.

We really love Emerald Oaks. My father-in-law has really enjoyed it and has embraced the social aspect of it, despite going there saying he wasn't going to make friends and wanted to keep to himself. It has really helped his mental sharpness to stay engaged with people - playing games, going on outings, etc. It has been a really good experience for him. We love the apartment. It's roomy, so he can fit a great deal of furniture in it. He's very comfortable there. As far as the food, some of the dishes are good. But the vegetables tend to be bland and mushy, and the food in general is lacking in flavor. While it's not great, It's not terrible either.

Huntly Springs was very nice, the price was better than another community we toured, but the facility was too big and my loved ones would have had difficulty finding their apartment.

Maple Ridge is a good place for me, providing everything that I need. It would be nice to have comfortable chairs in our entrance area, the ones we had were removed.

Wonderful place to live.

I found that Stone Oak has all the ingredients to keep healthy and live a happy long life. Good variety of food, social interaction, fun, mental stimulation and exercise.

I am happy here - for the time in my life (my age 95) - this is a good place to live - the only real issue is the shower design - the activities are great and varied - the best part - you choose if you care to participate.

Our mangers activities director and our head conceirge is awesome. They work so hard to make life so much fun. I appreciate their efforts. They deserve raises.

They are looking for a new chef. The new managers, husband and wife team, used to own several restaurants. He is an excellent chef and has told me that he expects excellent food there at Stone River he feels the folks need to get what they're paying for, and he & his wife eat there as well since they live there. I would say it's A Beautiful Residence. Very inviting looking, even the hallways & seating areas on the different floors (with comfy chairs & fireplaces. Also has a lovely room with a pool table. Mom and I call it the cruise ship. There's a soft serve machine or you can get ice cream 24 hours a day! And it has a movie theater with the marquee! Personally I love the place and would live there if there were a pool. And if we were older. The residents appear to be 70+ years old with maybe a handful of younger folks.

I toured this facility and it was nice. Very pretty, but outdoor space for resident use is limited in size.

Love it here!

At Riverstone we know that we will always have a tasty nutritious meal - 3 times a day! Our apartments are cleaned well every week, and we have lots of fun and stimulating activities to choose from. Someone is available 24 hrs./day to answer almost any question.

Overall I am pleased with Provident Crossings. I did move to a smaller apartment but they are still charging me about the same price. I was charged another administrative fee to move from the 2nd floor to the first as well so that was pretty expensive. It is a clean facility and the people have all been very friendly, we will get to meet more residents once we get all settled in. The maintenance guy is absolutely amazing and very on top of things.

We chose Savannah Pines because it was the nicest faiclity out of the ones we looked at. There was a lot of life and activity and the residents were super friendly. The staff were very nice and welcoming as well. Mom is able to have her dog which was a necessity. She has a 2 bedroom apartment with a patio and it is a very nice space. I would highly recommend Savannah Pines to others.

I would recommend you consider the community for yourself or your loved ones. The food is excellent. The place is beautiful. [Name removed] does a great job, in running activities. There is somebody who is too tight with the budget. You have the activities director who is driving the van and this takes away from their main job with activities. [Name removed] is excellent and is also being pulled in different direction.
