Resort Lifestyle Communities

A jacuzzi/hot tub. It would be nice to visit a garden space and go grow vegetables and flowers. Need automatic sprinklers. A call box and gardener too.

My grandson and his 8-year-old friends visited us on an early Sunday evening. We all had a great time. The next day the eight-year-old little boy told his mom "I want to live at South Hills Sq."

Our family had an in person tour with Stone Oak Retirement Community and from everything we saw of the community as well as the tour experience, we thought everything was good.

The kitchen facilities are what anyone could want. Personally I don't cook, but the option is there.

Has a great variety of activities for residents. Always helpful and keeps things running smoothly. Makes the activities and outings fun.

The staff at Sable Lodge Retirement Community are very friendly and welcoming. The facility is modern and clean. And the residents also very friendly and welcoming.

Wonderful camaraderie between residents and staff here. I like to enjoy Happy Hour and Karaoke and visit with my neighbors. Our activities director is very good and always available for resident input.

I am into card games, jigsaw puzzles, and Bingo games. Since I love to crochet, I have been featured in the Artist of the Month and have had my works on display here at Copper Springs. [name removed] is a great activity director.

The facility and staff are clean and helpful. This is NOT a facility that can transition into assisted living. If no need for those services loom in your future, a great place to be.

We picked this community, because of the friendliness and cleanliness....and the fact that it felt like a cruise ship! They loved it. Making friends was easy, she was comfortable and always looked forward to the activities.

We toured with Evergreen Crossings and it was nice, but in a busy location and the library was not as nice (my dad reads a lot). But Evergreen Crossings would have been our second choice out of the places that we looked into initially.

I love Copper Springs Retirement , it has been a great experience for me. The food is good and the staff here are very accommodating. The apartment sizes and accommodations are very nice!

On all categories this a very good, safe place to be. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The housekeeping is good. The food is better than average. My only thought is that it is a little pricey. I really love my one bedroom and cherish my privacy. I would recommend it to anyone who wants their family to be well cared for.

My loved one is a resident at Chartiers Bend Retirement Resort and it's been a good experience. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The residents are mostly very friendly, too. I really haven't had much communication about anything, since we haven't needed it. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

It's an absolutely beautiful facility. It's kept up very well. The staff is great. I think the biggest distraction for me was it was built as a retirement resort, yet fully at least 50% of the residents are either in walkers, motorized carts, or wheelchairs. They're parked all over the place. Having to navigate all those mobility devices negatively affects wait time standing in line for food (often up to 30 minutes). Also, when they're all parked on the second and third floors, that's a recipe for a catastrophe in the event of a fire or emergency situation. I would call it more of a nursing home atmosphere, whereas I expected a more vibrant community of retired people. It's still a really nice place. Housekeeping is fantastic. The concierge - all 3 of them - are fantastic. On weekends, they do work a little short staffed in the dining room, which makes for longer lines. Most of the people are really friendly, although It takes a while to get to know everybody.

Emerald Oaks didn't have any availability for our loved one.

Our family had an in-person tour and we thought it was a really nice tour experience but the apartment our loved one was looking at just did not have a patio, and we wanted her to have a patio with a nice view.

We really love Emerald Oaks. My father-in-law has really enjoyed it and has embraced the social aspect of it, despite going there saying he wasn't going to make friends and wanted to keep to himself. It has really helped his mental sharpness to stay engaged with people - playing games, going on outings, etc. It has been a really good experience for him. We love the apartment. It's roomy, so he can fit a great deal of furniture in it. He's very comfortable there. As far as the food, some of the dishes are good. But the vegetables tend to be bland and mushy, and the food in general is lacking in flavor. While it's not great, It's not terrible either.

Huntly Springs was very nice, the price was better than another community we toured, but the facility was too big and my loved ones would have had difficulty finding their apartment.
