New and clean. Attractive facilities. Does not work for us due to being an excellent independent living option , but then no transitions beyond that.

Staff is wonderful

From coming in the door and being welcomed so nicely to talking to the residents that live there. This place is gorgeous. They have a wonderful team as well. When I stopped by the residents were listening to music while others were in their set room making ornaments. They definitely keep you busy here.

Visiting mom

I stopped by to visit my mom and ended up staying for lunch. Talk about a restaurant atmosphere and the food was delicious. This place has all the whistles and is so nice. We have definitely picked the right place for our mom. She’s always happy as well which is a great thing. I was telling my mom that we could go out and do some shopping but she said she had craft class and music after that. I so appreciate the Verena and how they’ve put a smile on mom’s face. Thank you

Change is hard but Verena is worth it!

Verena is more than I expected - love my apartment w a patio; gourmet meals served in a lovely dining room; too many activities to attend and friendly staff and residents. Downside: its far from shops but has library access and paved woods path.
