Cambridge Village Senior Living

Definitely recommend. The building is new, very clean, and really beautiful. The staff are all very friendly.

I did not know when I moved in to cambrige Village that they did not serve breakfast. That happens to be my favorite meal of the day. I guess they do a continental breakfast but it’s just like pastries and cereal. I am also disappointed in the food. When I moved in here, a lady told me the food was great, but to me, it is not. My mom was a fantastic cook and I guess I base everything on that. Their menu seems limited and they have the same thing for three months and then they change it. And lots of times they are out of vanilla ice cream. I have burning mouth syndrome so I eat a lot of cold things to cool off my tongue. That would be my only complaint and everyone is very nice here, but if food is a big part of a place you choose, I would not recommend this place for that.

The main thing that would make my mother happier is more variety and healthier meals. She also feels like Cambridge is bringing in new residents that are not quite able to be fully independent. Some people get lost in the halls or just sit around staring into space.

What we like the most about The Cambrdige at Brier Creek community is how friendly everyone is. Also the gym is excellent and the meals that are served are good. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

There are a variety of activities/ hair cut service/ massage are all good things The dining experience/food variety and options are not the best. Making reservations for dinner is something mom doesn't like. Also, more help for new residents as they try to navigate the new living situation. More help to get them involved- although this is my moms perspective not sure how much or little was done aside from an ambassador meeting up with her a few times.

Overall Cambridge Village of Apex is the best independent living community I have seen. The food is better than any place we have seen. But it needs more variety. The menu does not change often enough, and the servings are small. The food allowance does not cover a normal month's worth of food. Because of Covid, a lot of activities are curtailed. And social events are really at a minimum. We thought there would be more entertainment (things like concerts) offered, but there is almost none. Visually, the place is extremely pleasant. It smells good. It sounds good. It is a joy to walk through. The staff, by and large, are all pleasant. It is a costly community, so be prepared for additional charges that are unexpected. A yearly amount of thousands of dollars is being charged in 2023, besides the annual rent increase, which came as a shock and a surprise. I'm not happy about that. Overall, I would give them a thumbs up for living in this lovely community.

It's a lovely facility, a little pricey.

I'm happy where I am right now, but I do think the cost is too much for what we're getting. They're adding on a [price removed] one-time fee at your 1 year mark, in addition to you having to give two months rent up front before moving in, and you do not get it back. There are people who have taken the fee to court, but have lost because the manager gets whatever he wants. A lot of people have moved because of it and I think that the extra fee is ridiculous. It makes a terrible position for those of us who are already living tight. The community has their cliques like every place else, but they're friendly and the food is good. Activities and entertainment are good as well and there are a lot of things to do like musical guest, [name removed], who was just here. They also have a harpist who comes in sometimes on Sundays to play, she's very good. As far as my apartment, I do think it's a bit too small for the money we pay. I have a very small kitchen with limited space to prepare meals - which is another complaint I have. I do, however, love the first floor apartment and the fact that I can open my door and step right outside.

This was a really nice community and it was a very desirable place to live. It was just too far away for where we wanted our loved one to be. The tour was good and we got to see everything and got all the info we needed about the community.

It is a good opportunity, provided the right circumstances. However, the pandemic has thrown a wrench into the activities and other parts of the community.

Very nice facility, tons of amenities. Costs appear in line until you start breaking everything down and then you find hidden costs that quickly skyrocket if you need any assistance at all. If your 100% healthy then this is the place to be.

We looked at a few different communities and even though this one might be a little more expensive after reviewing what they offered there was no question of placing my mother here. She loves living here she finds the residents to be very friendly she has already made friends and she didn't initially think she would. They offer all day dining which was important to her she loves the food. The staff is wonderful very nice and kind extremely easy to work with. We would recommend them.

My mother is well here in this community.

This is a new fantastic looking community. They offer a theater and a workout wing. The staff were very nice to us. This community just did not seem to be as supportive of dad's needs. I would recommend this community for more independent residents.

During our tour I had noticed that the staff at this location did a great job at keeping there facility very clean and well maintained for all of the residents. They had an open floor plan that I liked with lots of natural light throughout the building. I was impressed to see the activity list they had available to all of the residents and the menu they put together meal times.

It seemed like a place with that was commercial like and was larger and not as personable to me. Our tour guide, he was very friendly. There was no problems with the place itself. With all the programs they were showing us it was a good place. However the distance and size of community was not the right community for us.

The facility is beautiful but the charges for transportation to see your own doctors is overpriced. There are other fees not associated with regular day to day life that can add up to an extremely high cash balance owed to the facility

Really liked the appearance (both outside and inside) of Cambridge. The location is quite nice, Residents were pleasant and seemed happy. The atmosphere inside the facility was most enjoyable. Light and airy hallways and liked the pool and exercise equipment. We think it is a place where we would be comfortable and happy,

We are just getting settled in over at Cambridge Village but our experience so far has been very positive. The residents are friendly, the staff helpful and food, much to my surprise, was pretty darn good. My mother felt comfortable there right from the start. Katie, the young woman in charge of marketing there has been very helpful and everyone has tolerated my endless questions with patience and kindness. They have taken a very low key and tolerant approach to getting things officially signed and underway since my mother has been busy with doctors appointments since we arrived. At the very beginning we did seem to fall through the cracks a bit. The employee who to do my mother's orientation was out sick and my mother also had some health issues that kept us on the move to doctors and appointments. She did go through orientation just a couple of days late but her "ambassador" a fellow resident who was to show her the ropes has not been heard from since the very first day. All that being said my mother feels very positive about her experience there so far. She absolutely loves her apartment with a view of the pond and finds everything quite convenient. I especially like the focus on security and safety. The check-in button and emergency pulls are very reassuring and the entryways are secured with electronic keys. I especially like that we were given an electronic pass key right from the start so that we can come and go from her apartment without having to check in at every moment. I think this makes it feel much more like a home for her. Unfortunately, because of my mothers frailness and current leg injury she hasn't been able to take part in any of the available outings or activities. Even if her leg was healed I think we would find her reluctant to take part in the pool and gym that is available there. How I wish we could have convinced her to stay there 2 years ago when they first opened and she was in better health.

The restaurant and pub change times and service on a regular basis which is upsetting to my dad. They have staffing issues and so change what they deliver and hours of delivery based on workers. They could use more activities, keep the pub open longer and pay enough to keep a solid staff.
