True Connection Communities

Villas of Shelby wasn't out first pick but we looked at numerous places and this one is pretty good. They have a wide range of activities. My parents haven't participated in them yet but I really hope they do in the future. The staff is very friendly and caring here. Overall we are pleased.

I was so impressed with all the wonderful rooms to assist the residents enjoy their new home. The staff has been there for a number of years, and that speaks greatly about the degree of happiness exhibited by those who live here. Brightness, cleanliness, and upkeep as well as activities are assets. It was a pleasure to meet the staff. Kathy

I could not have asked for more compassionate and helpful people than at Preston Place. Moving my parents who are in their mid-eighties was going to be tramadic enough since they were coming from another state and from a 3 bedroom house to a 650 sq ft. apartment. However, everyone at Preston Place has made them feel at home and have been so helpful in their transition.

Mom has only been a resident for one week and has participated in more activities than in the last 4 years (involving exercise). So far, everything has exceeded expectations. Thank you Lynette and Lisa for support!

We have been pretty happy with al the experience we have had. People are very helpful and accommodating and loved is happy at facility.

We helped our mother move in to Parc Place last month. Her apartment is wonderful - lots of windows, natural light, open and airy. Her unit has a great deal of room for a one-bedroom, plus good storage space. The staff at Parc Place has been truly caring and helpful. They have treated Mom as part of a "family" of residents. We could not be happier with our choice of this retirement community; we feel it is the perfect fit for our mom.

The food there is really good. I have eaten there with mom and dad a few times and the food has always been really good. They are really good about accommodating any situations that arise. It's been a good experience.

I think they do a great job overall at Pine Ridge Retirement! The facility itself looks very nice. It is clean, and very nicely decorated without feeling "overdone", it has a very comfortable feel. The staff are all very friendly as well. They also do a good job with the food here, we've had a few meals here and enjoyed them.

On two previous independent visits to Verena at the Reserve I was so impressed by the residents and the staff. Then when my father recently asked about senior living options in Williamsburg, I suggested he look at Verena. Barbara Bane gave us a super tour and has been very helpful as we plan his transition to an apartment. Verena at the Reserve is a lovely facility and the residents are very friendly and the food is delicious. Very excited with my dad's choice!

My mom moved into Preston Place almost 18 months ago. She is very happy and stays very active! The staff is always available to answer questions and give her the support she needs. As her daughter, I can't imagine a better place for my mom. I feel confident that the staff looks out for her and has her best interest at heart. The activities are outstanding and very diverse. Mom always is eager to sign up for bingo, entertainment at the Veranda and line dancing with Jill is one of mom's favorite activities! My mom does cook for herself and although she doesn't eat at the Veranda, the cooks provide wonderful snacks and treats for the different events held there! We are concerned about the cost and we hope that mom will be able to live as long as she's able in her beautiful apartment! Mom is a young almost 85 and lives independently! We love Preston Place!

We've had a great experience at Villas of Shelby so far! The staff are all very friendly, and they're very accommodating when it comes to any requests or assistance you need! They've got a good variety of activities, and they've been putting in a lot of effort to improve them further. We're very happy with this place, and would recommend it to others who are looking!

It has only been a month since my Mom has moved from NYC to Preston Place and I am so happy to see how the community (residents and staff) have welcomed her. We are so happy with her apartment and the help we received to get her settled in. She has already volunteered to help in certain areas; has participated in various activities; has been invited to church and other activities in the neighborhood by her new friends. She did not keep her car yet is very happy with the transportation Preston Place provides to make doctor appointments and do some shopping. My brother and I feel very confident our mother will enjoy her time at Preston and we enjoy visiting her and meeting her neighbors.

My Dad has been living at Pine Ridge for the past three years. He has a beautiful apartment with a patio on the courtyard and he really enjoys it. At first, he had a hard time getting used to living in a senior community, but the entire staff made him feel very welcome and introduced him to other people. They really take an interest in him and that made him feel very welcome. He thinks the food is very good and he is very busy being social. We looked at many places and this is the best.

We have been pleasently suprised so far. Meadow Stone was not actually on the radar when we started looking for an apartment for my mother, "A Place for Mom" was very helpful in getting us to the Arena of our level of services that we were looking for. The staff here has been just wonderful, any issues that have arisen have been promptly addressed.

My mother was reluctant to move into assisted living. After only two days, she is VERY CONTENT at Pine Ridge. The staff is wonderful. Everyone is friendly and willing to do anything to make our family happy. My mother is anxious for her friends to visit and see how nice Pine Ridge is.

My wife and I had to downgrade from a 3 bedroom house with a basement & a 2 car garage, to a 2 room apartment. But as good troopers-we have adapted & will survive. The facility has become "home" much easier that I thought it would. Much of that comes from the staff from every part of the facility, office, kitchen, maintenence. About 3 weeks ago I turned in a short list of items that needed some attention and within 2 days all was done neatly. Thank you. Virginia and I are happy so far & we are not expecting a big change in that regard.

This is a very nice affordable community with lots to offer seniors. My Mother has only been moved in for a little over a week, but the experience has been postivie so far. She has made many new friends, and is staying very busy with all of the planned activities. (She is a social one, so it suits her well!) The staff is very friendly and helpful, as well. I believe we made the right decision.

Overall I like living here.

I would give it a 4 right now. It is under new management and is being upgraded all over. The landscape is gorgeous and so many things are being done with improvements. It has full days of things to do. Someone told me this place has the most activities of any they looked at . Now the reason I didn't give it a 5 - the Community Fee costs the same as one month's rent; whereas, every other place we looked at the Community Fee was $[removed]. I've been here a month and a half and we still don't have a rod for one bathroom's toilet paper to hang on. We did get a newrod but it was too short and ow they have ordered a whole units f said we would have it in 2 days and that was almost / weeks ago. I know that seems small but we are very happy here. Everyone we have met is super nice. Our apartment had been completely redone - new paint, new tile floors, new bedrooms carpeting, new refrigerator, new dishwasher, new stove, new granite countertops in kitchen and both bathrooms. Another nice thing- you get a $[removed] referral fee if someone you refer moves in.

4.5 rating of Villas. They are helpful, pleasant and will go out to make sure you get what you want and what you are looking for.
