Living at Stone River

I think Stone River is a wonderful place to live. We have excellent amenities, such as a fitness center and movie theater. Good food 24hrs a day. Housekeeping is great, we play BINGO and Mahjong, we have a Balance Class and Ageless Grace. I have met kind people and made good friends. Stone River is my home.

Review for Stone River Retirement Community

The food is not as good as it was when we first came. Our activities director is really top notch. She works really hard to make sure we all find something we like to do. She really encourages socializing and puts on a great happy hour every Friday. The housekeeping depends on who you get. Some are better than others. Maintenance is as prompt as they can be with 160 of us and 1 sometimes 2 of them. Our managers are great and go out of their way to make life good for us.

Response from the community

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback, Sandi. We truly appreciate your honesty. We’re so glad to hear how much you value your activities director and the effort she puts into creating meaningful opportunities to connect—Friday Happy Hour is certainly a favorite for many! It’s also wonderful to know our managers are making a positive difference in your experience. At the same time, we take your comments about dining, housekeeping consistency, and maintenance seriously. Feedback like yours helps us continue to improve and ensure every resident has the best possible experience. We’re grateful you’re part of the Stone River community and appreciate you sharing both the positives and areas where we can do better.

A Perfect Place for Mom

When my mom decided to move we looked at a few places. I told her that we were not going to look around at to too many places. It was like buying a wedding dress when you knew, you knew and that was it. We toured 3 places and we both liked Stone River. There is a just a very homey feeling there.

Response from the community

Thank you for sharing this. We’re so glad Stone River felt right from the start. That sense of comfort and “home” is exactly what we hope families feel, and it means a lot to know it stood out so clearly for both of you.
