Just came back for a tour. Because of a mixup in the dates, our guide was unavailable, so the Regional Director of Marketing, Martijn, stepped in, despite his busy schedule. He was wonderful! And the place is amazing. I've visited tons of independent living facilities and this place is head and shoulders above the rest. It is absolutely gorgeous. Very well-maintained and spotless, with ample eating places and lots of cozy nooks and crannies to promote conversation. The rooms were also bigger and nicer than I expected. There is a lot of programming, too. On site is an exercise room and exercise classes, salon and massage, indoor heated pool with aqua-aerobics, theater, meeting rooms, golf room, and more. The residents are diverse and very engaged, and most telling, the residents greeted the staff warmly, which speaks volumes about the service they get there. Can I move in tomorrow?
