Mission Creek was a little bigger than the other place. They were prepared when I got there. The person who normally gives the tours was there, and they had information for me. We walked around and she showed me the place. It was dinner time so no activities were going on, but they did have an activity space. It was newer, a little bigger, well lit, and they had more studios. They take residents shopping, to the pharmacy, and other places.

Heritage at Deer Creek is really nice and clean. It didn't smell and everything looked sparkling and new. The staff is really good. The rooms were big and they had kitchenettes. They offer extra services if you need them. It's a continuum of care until end of life which was great. They had lots of areas to sit which was really nice if you needed it so you don't have to sit all in one room which was really cool. They had several little libraries, fireplaces everywhere and a sun room.

Village at the Falls was very nice and looks like it had everything that I wanted, but it's a little too expensive for me. The person who toured us was very friendly, outgoing, gave us all the information we wanted, and was very open to answering questions. We had lunch there and the food was very good. They have posters that describe some of the activities that were coming up.

ProHealth Care Regency was way too big. We went there because it was a non-profit. They're building two additional buildings and I don't see how they're going to keep up with it staff wise. I don't feel like there would be a proper ratio of care staff to the residents. The dining area was nice. The rooms were a little smaller, but they have vast amounts of storage space. They have crafts and regular trips. They really want you to use their house practical nurses and their primary care physicians. They have the ProHealth Clinic right there, so if you're not going to use them, you have to be going out to your doctors on your own. The location was convenient.

The rooms at Village at the Falls were good-sized. There was a variety, and some were on the lower level. There was a nice garden in the back and the lunchroom looked nice. I was given a ticket to come back and have lunch with somebody. The staff was very informative, explained things, and answered all my questions. There were some people in the library. There was brand-new carpeting in the several rooms that I saw. It almost looked like a hotel.
