I really liked the apartment floorplans. Did not like the fact that it requires a one year lease and did not particularly like the meal structure.

Staff is friendly and helpful. I get the impression that they are cooking out of a recipe book. Nothing is simple. They spent a long time overcooking the entrees. All meats were cooked dry and flavorless. They have recently stopped doing that. I had a quarter piece of chicken last night that was moist and tasty. It remains to be seen if they can continue cooking that way.

The staff was very attentive. The apartments are very nice. The grounds are nice. Lunch was very good, but this is not a good fit for us as we are a lot younger and just feel like that. We would not thrive and this environment. Would’ve been a good place for my parents.

I am interest in the facility. The moving time would have to be when I can get out of my current contract, getting a mover , the availability of an apartment there. And of course movers. I do have a family emergency right now and that is also a factor . Please let me know what and when there is an available apartment [name removed]

I have lived here at Verena for 4 years and I enjoy my apartment and wonderful neighbors. So many opportunities for activities including; a beautiful pool, bingo, arts and crafts, an excellent gym, exercise programs, bridge and other card games and many more. Also, there is transportation for trips to museums, concerts, symphonies, shopping, and doctor appointments (certain days for shopping and doctors). You will not be bored. The food is good (no one will go hungry); in fact, I have gained weight since living her

I moved to NC and Verena 11/18/2024 and have enjoyed everything about Verena. We have a hands on Director who listens and takes action. Had some issues with chefs but all is good now with Chef Matt. Lots of activities to do and very friendly folks living here.
