From the moment I entered the grounds I was impressed with Orchard Valley. The location and layout of the facility was inviting. Arrived early to evaluate spontaneous reactions and resident observations. The facility and staff interface with residents and my tour were most impressive. The cleanliness and brightness of the entire interior layout gave a warm friendly home-like feeling. Definitely comfortable with my first impression for a prospective resident.

I really liked this community when we toured it. The location is great. It is set back, so it appeared to be in a quiet, country setting, but it was still close to shopping and other conveniences. They had a lot of activities at this community, and the resident rooms were very spacious. The only issue was that they did not have a space available when we were looking.

I had recently taken a tour of this community for my loved one and I was very pleased with my experience. My first impression of this place was it felt like I was in walking into a four star hotel. It was a beautiful place and had a lot of luxury amenities for the residents. The assisted living side was very small and had about forty residents. My parents where more interested in the independent living side but my dad just did not meet the health requirements to live on that side.

We are using this community for their respite stay services. So far everything is working out pretty well, this is a great organization. We did have some administration, paper work issues in the beginning, but everything is working out well now. She is safe, and in good hands.
