Cypress Woods

Cypress Woods was nice. They're very accommodating and the personnel was great. If I had to choose, I'd probably go to that facility. The apartments were bigger than others and they included a kitchenette. They also supply three meals a day, which was dine-in. I like the way it operates. They had a bottom floor and I have a big dog and they accept big dogs. It had a back door where you could go out and you don't have to take the dogs to the lobby. The lady that showed me around was very nice. They invited me back for their 4th of July dinner and activities. I had dinner there and I liked the food. They had excellent staff. I liked the outside and everything had been manicured. They have activities and rooms where you could read. The setup was better than the other facilites we looked at.

I visited Cypress Wood. It's a smaller community than the other two that we toured. The sales manager knew everybody that lives there. She was very knowledgeable, and she also helps quite a bit with financial issues. She was very informational, and her mother actually lived there. This woman was very good at it. We were only there for an hour though. They had choices for the sizes of the rooms. They also had some optional balconies and places outside if you got a 1st floor unit. You can put up a little fence and keep your animals and give them a little place to get out and whatever, like dogs. It was pet friendly. It was just older, and it was kind of obvious that it was older. They only had a kitchenette, so that was the downfall. As far as amenities, they had a bicycle, no big room or anything, no pool, but they had a very small library and they had a walking trail around the unit itself. They are conveniently located to some shopping. Another plus for them would be they're not on a major thoroughfare. They're back in a neighborhood, so you can get out on your scooter and cross the street with no problem. They had large grounds. It's a smaller unit, but they're close to some other things to do.
