Don’t move here

I have lived at the Village of Southlake for over 5 years. It used to be a wonderful place but it has changed in the last 2 yrs since new ownership. Many of the food servers quit & that leaves only 1 server per meal for over 70 residents & that means meals can take over 2 hours. They shortened their workweek to below 40 hours & that means no one gets benefits. The morale at this place is very low among all of the residents & staff. It has caused a lot of stress & anger due to them changing the rules of what we ca

Very much what we’re looking for. Good selection of Garden apartments and Patio homes, all well kept and attractive. We were impressed with the staff, amenities and the location; convenient to everything. Our favorite in our search so far.

This facility is currently at the top of my list for consideration. I loved the two bedroom apartment and the two bedroom duplex I toured. Full kitchen, washer/dryer, weekly housekeeping, utilities, meals, and lots of activities. The buildings were in like new condition. Personnel were very friendly and knowledgeable.

My mother really enjoyed the tour and found everything appealing, with one exception. That was the distance to Aiken, SC. She decided that as nice as The Village at Southlake is, she wants to be closer to where I live.

Friendly and very helpful staff and residents

Activities are terrific. Food is improving and they say they are working on it. It isn't bad but should be better. I love living here and have made lots of friends. Staff has made several good changes.
