Resort Lifestyle Communities

I toured with Towne Center and it is a much newer facility with a younger crowd. It is a large building and everyone I spoke to was very friendly. It is cruise ship style, almost feels like you are on vacation. I was looking for something more homey so it did not suit what I was looking for.

It a beautiful community, and there are a lot of activities to do. The staff is very friendly and caring, and the community is very neat and clean. I would recommend this community to others if you need independent living.

My room is the best part of the community. The rooms are very large and the kitchen is furnished. The food is mediocre. The staff are very friendly, and accommodating.

It is a pretty expensive community, but you are getting what you are paying for.

The food is pretty good and they offer a variety. The apts. have a full kitchen. I would like to see more outdoor activities, the apts are well done with granite countertops and good appliances. I would recommend this community to others. The community has garages here also.

I am from Omaha, so I had visited friends in other retirement communities in Omaha long before I looked into one for me. I had been invited to M. R. Off and on to a few social activities so I knew what was offered. When time came for me to get serious, I compared M.R. with others. Location, pleasant in looks, bright, cheerful here at M.R. Thought more into XYZ, what will I be missing at M.R.? So here I am, happy, content, so glad I did find friends oh, lots to do. Thanks, Maple Ridge!

Staff helpful and friendly. Lots of activities! Apartments have beautiful, open floor plan.

My Mom moved in just as the Covid-19 lock down began, which prohibited family visits for a while. In a facility new to her and with social distancing, it was hard to make friends at first. The staff stepped up, made her comfortable, supplied meals to each residents room and assisted with the technical details of her move. Now she has several friends and is pleased that she made her move. She had lived in two other residences previously. Both she and I will tell you Oak Park is head and shoulders better. Specifically, the food and staff are wonderful. [name removed] , the manager, is a conscientious, thoughtful and caring man. With his leadership, Oak Park is number one in my book.

From the first visit to the when the last box was unloaded, Mom knew this was the right place for her. Her first statement was "it doesn't feel like a nursing home." The residents were warm and friendly and maybe most importantly inviting. They asked Mom to join them for lunch and cards and were engaging. Mom loves the fountains at the open atmosphere. For us, in addition to the socialization and meals, we liked the idea that if in the future she needs more services [ex. bathing, dressing etc.] she could have those services provided [at a charge] without having to go to a full assisted living program. Mom had one day were she was not feeling well and they brought her dinner to the apartment with no complaints. She has not partaken of the activities as of yet but there are things she is interested in. She also enjoys the valet parking.

I am searching for Senior Communities in which to move. My daughter and I visited Emerald Oaks. [name removed] gave us a tour and treated us to lunch there. A number of residents introduced themselves and said how much they like it there. [name removed] and the staff were very nice and knowledgeable. The facility was spotless and very well kept. The offer all of the amenities one could hope for. [name removed] has stayed in touch since our visit and offered her help in various ways. I am not quite ready to move just yet but will before long. Emerald Oaks is high on my list.

My husband and I left our home in the East to come to Omaha to be near our daughter, and we chose Maple Ridge because it seemed the best choice. We have not been disappointed. The surroundings, although right off of the highways, is down a bit of a hill and has lots of grass and feels away from everything.The apartment is spacious and has walk-in closets and lots of storage space. It is airy and light, and we were able to keep our small dog and cat. The common rooms are beautifully appointed and the staff bend over backward to be helpful. [Name removed] and [name removed], the managers, are highly visible, always helping out in the dining room or wherever needed. There is beautiful artwork throughout the residence The food is very good, lots of choices, and can be brought to one's room if ordered during meal time. The only thing that was problematic was that somehow we were under the impression that, although we knew health aides had to be contracted for, they would be more readily available.

Good place to be

My mom moved from her single home of 50 years to her apt 3 months ago. It took time for her to settle in. She is keeping much more engaged with all the activities. She is eating much better than she was when living alone. Housekeeping being provided is huge for her. Her being able to keep her dogs was a major consideration. All the onsite amenities have made her life easier. A great place that has improved my mom's life. I highly recommend Walnut Grove Retirement Community.

I really liked the place and met and liked lots of friends. But I felt after 6 months it was too expensive and I moved into a standard apartment to cut cost. I still visit every sat to play bridge with the group.

We found all our needs at this community for my parents. They have a very large bedroom that fits their king size bed, the price is reasonable, and they provided 3 meals a day with the rent. It has been pretty good for my parents and they are getting involved with the community. They like the community and we have no complaints. Activities are available, my dad went to exercise once. Every staff is great, very nice and caring about the residents. They keep an eye out for them and if they are not at a meal, the staff will call and check on them. Overall they do a good job.

My loved one and I have recently taken a tour of this community and we are looking forward to moving in after construction is completed. The apartment we will be moving into is spacious with lots of great amenities included like our very own garage. The staff have been very helpful during this process and we are looking forward to settling in our new living environment.

My wife, and I am very pleased with our move to this community. It is a nice community, and so far everything is working very well. We do feel comfortable, and at home at this community. The staff have been very kind, and helpful. Everything is well-kept, they do a good job with the cleanliness of the community. All is well for us at this community, and I would recommend.

the staff and management are exceedingly friendly and helpful and patient.

My mother in law loves living at oak Park. The staff are wonderful and very nice. The food is very good and they are very accommodating. They offer various activities including bingo, cards and they have a speaker coming in once a week for the next few weeks to talk about ancestry. They have a hairdresser and a drug store on site. The community is very clean and I would recommend it.

Just recently placed my mother-in-law here - it was the only place I looked at - and I looked at many - where I truly felt I could live...full kitchen big enough for her table from home - very spacious; lots and lots of storage; open and airy...and the people couldn't be friendlier. Only place that had housekeeping every week at no additional charge; all meals included in price - able to have meals delivered to room when not able to make it to dining room...supplied their own life line that rang into the unit; managers that actually lived on site...and did I mention it's only one year old so everything is new and modern. She's happy to be as independent as she can be for as long as possible.
