Nice Accommodation

The apartment is really nice and the staff are very nice and helpful. His apartment is a one bedroom which is perfect for him. As for the food they have a good variety as far as I know. They offer Tai chi and chair yoga. Also they have things like crafts and bingo and have a field trip once a month I think. The only thing I don't like as a visitor is the parking they gave all the parking to the residents.

Villa Serena is a happy place

I have been a resident for a couple of months and I find the other residents to be happy and friendly. The Staff is outstanding. They always go out of their way to make sure the residents are taken care of. And always with a smile. I would recommend Villa Serena to any one that is looking for a quiet and peaceful retirement home.

A nice community

It is a great community, the pond and ducks are lovely and the grounds are beautiful. However, more organized off-campus activities would be wonderful
