I only saw this place briefly for a tour, but I thought it looked like a nice place overall. My loved one did end up moving in here, and although she misses her house she seems to be doing well here. One feature I saw that I really liked was that the community has a small library room, which I thought was very nice.

We visited this "facility" as a starting point in our search for a place for Mom. I used the quotation marks around FACILITY because it is not institutional at all, but more like living in a wonderful hotel. We dropped in unannounced, and the staff showed us around, took their time, and answered all questions. The apartments we viewed were very nice, amenities were great, and pricing very good compared to others we have seen online. This would be the perfect place for Mom--the only real question is whether or not she can continue her independent living, or if we really need assisted care. Even at that, options were provided for acquiring additional services for additional fees. Overall, a wonderful place. I'm not sure any others we see in our search are going to measure up.

It's a brand new facility so it is very clean.

It's a brand new facility so it is very clean. Housekeeping could do a better job. The food could be better prepared. There is not a lot of choice in the menu. I don't think the local chef is taking the initiative to make certain changes and do some of the small things that would make it better. It's often cold when they get it, the last four times I've eaten there it's been terrible. The large meal is in the middle of the day. The residents have complained and the response is we can't do anything about it. They end up eating microwave food. Mealtime is scheduled. Very disappointed in the food. I liked the fact that it was new, and that it felt like home. They decorate it beautifully and it feels good when I go in there. Cottonwood was very good to my parents when they first got there. They helped us paint and we were able to match paint colors to the furniture, and really got the place ready for us.

It's pretty nice.

We ate one meal and it was very good and they had a drink cart and a salad cart, and an entree and then a desert cart, he likes the breakfast and lunch, but the dinner is lighter usually a soup or something. If you use their sheets and towels they will change them twice a week, which is nice and included in the price. The studio apartment is small, but suits his neeeds. It seems to be a little more affordable than the others around, the marketing/sales person was personable and did a very good job. The other rooms were wonderful too, and there is a little theater with graduated seating and everything even a popcorn machine in the back, and a room you can rent if you have a guest. They weren't real thorough with their contact information in the beginning. More people seemed to be mobile here as well.

My Mother-in-Law is Happy Here!

Paloma Landing is a strictly all independent living place her in Albuquerque. It's basically retirement apartment complex but they get all their meals and they have activities and transportation and things like that. They don't have any emergency care available there. My mother-in-law really likes it. She was in another independent living place but she wanted some place a little less expensive and initially it was. Paloma Landing has a different feel to it which she likes. She's been very happy with Paloma Landing!

Better for Independent Seniors

My mom started out at Stone Lodge. They do have some assisted living but it's more independent living. My mom was only there for a short time because she needed more care than they provide. They don't go and get you and bring you out for meals or activities or anything. It's more for people who are pretty well on their own.

Good Services for a Great Price

My mother is there. It's a good value. Meals and housekeeping are included in the cost and they seem to be good from what I've seen. The activities are good. She participates in some but not as many as I would have expected. I think of the facilities that we saw in the area Oak Park was clearly the best. They had equivalent or better services and a lower price.

I just moved in this week and I really like it. All the staff and residents are very nice and helpful. My room is very clean. Their are so many food choices to choose. Some of the residents are an inspiration for me in their dedication to exercise daily. I sit at a table with a very sweet 100 year old lady that exercises daily. I am one of the younger residents here, but physically I am on some of their level. I hope to become stronger following the residents commitment to maintaining their health. I really do enjoy mealtime and conversing with the people at my table.

Chesterfield Heights is beautiful. The food was better than the Virginian. The price was affordable. We really like this location & was seriously considering the move.
