The food was awesome, they have a new chef and the meals are well presented well planned and very nutritious. The staff is amazing. Everyone goes out of their way to help you. My husband had his own wonderful concierge room with plenty of room for him to walk around in his walker, with a beautiful view of deer every early evening from his windows There were always snacks available and always clean linens for you to get as needed. I would highly recommend this facility for Physical Therapy rehabilitation. I can’t say enough about this facility.

I liked the Ashton Senior Living. It's closer to me, and value wise, I'd say it's the best deal. They were approximately $1000 a month less to stay there than the other 2 places that we liked. The rates did not go up like they do at the other places, and they start to add on stuff. There's no add-ons at the Ashton. If you buy in at a certain price and your disease progresses or you decline, they don't nickel and dime you to death. The staff was very kind. The Ashton is what we are going to suggest to our sister-in-law that she go. We liked it very well because while it wasn't as fancy, it's a very nice and clean place. The staff seemed very caring, and it's closer to our home. We were very impressed with them. They have the beauty shop, and the movie room. They have a room that they use for church services. They have a building physician that comes in every couple of weeks and sees the residents, and keeps their prescription up to date, which is important. That means that they don't have to be moved out to a doctor; the doctor actually comes to them. They provide meals, and the meals seemed adequate. They said they get a lot of their food from the farmers' market, so they don't have a lot of additives and preservatives.

Smoky Springs is lovely but I can't afford it. The staff members are wonderful and nice as they can be. The rooms are very nice; they're perfect. They're like apartments. They have all kinds of activities. You can play cards or bingo and they have musical groups come in. I have eaten there several times with friends, and the food is excellent. The place is just great. It is always very clean and tidy. It has a happy feeling.

Smoky Springs was a very nice place, and I would recommend it to anyone. It's very cheerful, and there's very easy camaraderie among the lady who runs it and the people who were there. They were very friendly with each other and with her. It seemed very neat and clean and the amenities were really good. I was impressed that it was a good place. They're a little smaller than the others I visited, but it's very well run. The lady who runs it was very thorough, very committed to her people who live there, she's like a mother, although she's very young, and gave me very good information. Their Sunday buffet was very good. It was very clean, light, very welcoming, upbeat, and positive.

Oaks at Limestone was beautiful. The staff was very nice, helpful, and got back to me with all kinds of information. It was nicely laid out, and everyone was well cared for.
