Review

For the past seven years, my mother-in-law has found her perfect sanctuary in these apartments. With two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen, they provided all the space she needed. What truly made these apartments ideal for her was the inclusion of a stacked washer and dryer in her bathroom, making laundry a breeze. Moreover, the shower was designed to be step-in handicapped accessible, ensuring safety and convenience for Mom.

Beyond the physical attributes of her apartment, it was the kindness and warmth of her neighbors that truly made this place feel like home for Mom. She was quite shy and hesitant to initiate conversations with others but luckily, her neighbors were friendly and welcoming. They took the first step in reaching out to her and even taught her how to play a simple card game, which she eventually came to enjoy. These friendships that blossomed in this close-knit community meant the world to Mom.

Not only did Mom find companionship within her neighbors' company, but also through the shared spaces offered by these apartments. The building had both an upstairs and downstairs "family room" where residents could gather and socialize. It became a hub for activities, conversations, and moments of laughter amongst all the residents. These spaces provided ample opportunities for my mother-in-law to bond with others on a deeper level while enjoying their delightful company.

One aspect that truly highlighted how caring and attentive Mom's neighbors were is when they noticed she began experiencing difficulties due to frequent falls. Despite Mom forgetting to push her life line in emergencies, they quickly alerted us with concerns for her well-being. Their vigilance played an important role in keeping Mom safe during those challenging times.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning that both the apartment itself and its surrounding yard were impeccably maintained. The caretakers ensured that every nook and cranny received meticulous care so that residents could enjoy a clean and comfortable living environment. This attention to detail further contributed to the overall positive experience of residing in these apartments.

However, as time has passed, Mom's needs have evolved, leading to the decision that it is now time for her to transition into assisted living. While this marks a new chapter in her life, we are forever grateful for the wonderful home these apartments provided her. It was a haven where she found support, friendship, and a sense of belonging. The memories made within those walls will be cherished as she embarks on the next stage of her journey with heartfelt gratitude for all that this community has offered her.
