PositiveDiscovery Village
Everyone is very accommodating. Living room is very small, master ok for only one person, 2nd bedroom is tiny, closet space is much too small. Both bathrooms are bigger than they need to be. That space could have been used somewhere else. Could even add extra closets in bathrooms.

PositiveThankful for a place that Mom can proudly call home
5 on every single category. My mom is so happy there. This facility goes above and beyond for their residents. The compassion and caring is far more than I would have expected. The facility is consistently always clean and bright and cheerful. She really does enjoy inviting her friends and old neighbors over for lunch in the dining room there.

PositivePerfect review
This is really a nice place. Someone here at the complex said if you get bored here it's your own fault . The staff is excellent and the facility is excellent. I can't rave enough . My apartment is a one bedroom large enough for one person. There are many other apartments that are larger than mine but mine is just right. My friend visited me and soon will be living here. She loved the place so much.
