Review for The Stafford

I have had a good experience at the Stafford. I would recommend it others. The extensive remodeling is complete and it looks nice. The staff is great, the food is good with lots of options and variety. The musical activities are what I enjoy most. They have a pianist come in at least once a week to play for us, and often have other musical entertainment as well. In the summer they have a monthly Party on the Patio with a theme dinner and a band. The residents are fun and interesting. They have lots of activities he

a nice community

Staffing issues have caused dining room to be closed on many weekends so residents have to have meals delivered to their apartments. This needs to be resolved. Friendly staff and residents, beautiful facilities, and great restaurant. Many food choices at every meal. Like eating at a nice restaurant. Salads are especially good and fresh.

At home at the Stafford

My mother has really grown to appreciate living at the Stafford. The staff has been wonderful and made the transition ad good as possible. The residents tend to be on the bit stuffy/reserved side but there seems to be more regular people moving in lately. There does seem to be a bit of turnover with residents as people that don't "fit in" don't stay too long but there's no contracts which makes relocating easy enough. The location is fantastic with plenty of walking areas and fields nearby. The food/restaurants are
