PositiveThe Best In Senior Living
I went to visit my friend at Novel Place. This was so nice and welcoming I was taken aback. Was not expecting the gracious staff and very beautiful interior. The other residents were just as gracious as the staff. I was happy to know my friend lives in a beautiful, safe and welcoming environment. Not many like this place! Thank you Novel Place!!!
★★★★★
PositiveHappiness, Joy and Satisfaction
As a family member of a resident, I can honestly say it truly is a blessing to know that he is safe, healthy and enjoying every minute! They have great activities, food and a loving and caring staff! The family is happy knowing that we can feel secure knowing our loved one is enjoying himself and is able to live his best life.

PositiveLovely facility!
I recently came to visit my aunt who moved in not too long ago. I was very impressed with this facility. She was originally scared to move into a senior living facility but since moving in has expressed how comfortable she is and how great the community is. She always has something to do and someone to be with if she pleases. Not to mention the 10/10 lunch I had during my visit! Definitely would recommend this place to my loved ones
★★★★★
PositiveWonderful atmosphere!
Our Father moved to Novel Place this past summer and it has proved to be a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is very friendly, the community made him feel welcome and he has settled in. He participates in and enjoys the exercise classes through the week. The office, cleaning and meal staff are always friendly and helpful. They have an onsite physical therapy company that he has been able to use through his insurance and that has been very helpful as well. Recommend!
