Thrive at Augusta was very nice, and that's the one we're gonna hopefully go to. They all seemed really nice and very helpful. They are limited with what they can do with Covid, but everything was very inviting. I only looked at a 1-bedroom, because that's all I was interested in seeing, and it was clean and spacious. They showed me the dining area, a bistro area, and an exercise area where they have physical therapists come, but due to Covid, I could not tour the entire facility. I didn't meet the staff. I only met one lady, and she was awesome.

Claiborne at West Lake is very nice. The staff is very nice. There's not a whole lot of activities. They may have a lot of them that I don't participate in, but I'm not sure. The food is usually OK, nothing wonderful. My room is fine for me because I'm just the only one here. I just live here and do as much as I can. They have a place upstairs where you can go play cards if you want to. The place is always pretty clean.

My friend has settled in at Washington Commons. The food was lousy, and it's overpriced for what you get. She doesn't like it there, but she is staying anyway. There isn't any place better around in this local area that does what they do. It's not worth what she is paying for, but that's what it is. She moved in on the 1st of August. My friend's apartment was too small, so she moved now to a larger area. She had a 2-room then, which was just too crowded and she was stumbling over furniture. Now, she got a 2-bedroom apartment and it's a lot bigger. It has a living room, a kitchen, 2-bedrooms and 2-baths. They had activities when there's no Covid around, but right now, there's nothing. When my friend was in the main building, they delivered the food to their rooms, but by the time they got it, it's cold. It's not nutritionally sound, and the quantity was very small. I looked at it and I wouldn't eat it. Now, she has moved into this other apartment that is outside the main building, but they do not supply any food over there. She has to take care of her own food. The staff members are friendly, but they couldn't satisfy her needs.

We needed medical assistance, but Washington Commons doesn't have it. They showed us a couple of rooms and the cafeteria. They were very friendly, very courteous, and very forthcoming. The facility was good and clean. They had entertainment, people playing music, and massages. The dining room was very spacious, very clean, handicap accessible, and well lit. Overall, I was impressed with the place.

I liked Elmcroft of Martinez. It's nice and well run. The rooms had good layouts. For someone who's going by themselves and doesn't need to walk much, they're a good setup. The staff seemed very professional. They had a nice ice cream parlor room or get-together room.

We found Washington Commons to be very nice. It's probably where we are going to go with. It seemed to be a very comfortable place. The residents seemed very comfortable and happy there. The staff members were very nice and very accommodating. The dining area looked very clean. The residents were eating while we were there, and they served them restaurant style. They came to the table and took their order. Everybody was happy, which was a good sign. We saw one of the apartments, the theater area, the activities room, and the area where they play cards and read books. The area where they watch movies has recently been re-done, and it looked very nice.

My visit with Washington Commons was very good. The food was great and you had a selection of what to eat. The staff was very friendly, outgoing, seemed like they wanted to please you and answered all of my questions. The rooms were roomy and the amenities were great. They had various functions. They invited me to come and take part in their activities for this month. If anyone is thinking about their parent or a loved one going into assisted living, they should really consider them because they have amenities plus if you wanted to visit other sites in another city, you can stay at their facility free for up to a week.

Washington Commons' rooms were nice, but I wanted a two-bedroom and a kitchen. They don't have kitchens there. They looked like they had a lot for people to interact with, movies, games, knitting, and stuff like that. They told me they had entertainment come in on occasions and that was a good part. The guy took me around and showed me the apartments and stuff. He was very informative and good.

Washington Commons was extremely nice. They seem to be able to address the needs of their residents. When moving in, there is a community one-time fee in addition to your deposit, which is a thousand dollars, and I just wasn't satisfied with that. Everything was nice. The staff who toured me around was wonderful. They were doing some repairs.
