Should be in your finalists for senior independent living.

My husband and I have lived here for 8 months. The staff is ALWAYS friendly, which has a huge effect. Nobody ever says, "That is not my job." or, "I am too busy." The residents are mostly very friendly and it is not hard to feel at home and welcome. The food is abundant and flavorful while keeping in mind that it is not personalized to each resident. The apartment is adequate in size, keeping given that residents have to navigate the space and many/most have some physical challenge and use a walker/wheel chair, etc…

friendly staff, great activities, would recommend

I would give Arbor Court a 5 for all. What our family likes the most about the community is the friendliness of the staff... and lots of activities. Parking is a benefit too. Since my sis has a walker, everything is close enough she can get around.

I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience my mother had living at Arbor Court. Tracy and Susan are the most professional and caring administrators one could meet. My mother lived on her own for over 40 years and we were concerned that she might have difficulty fitting in and adjusting to the lifestyle there. Instead my mother blossomed. She began eating again, making friends and enjoying all the trips and events that were planned. The maintenance staff does a fantastic job listening to the needs of the res…

Mom has found HOME!

My mom has been at Arbor Court for more than six-months. She enjoys so many things about Arbor Court. It is a clean facility with a lot of natural light in the common areas. She enjoys the meals and does not like to miss them, ever! The icing on the cake is the staff. They are all very caring and supportive They are quick to let us know if they notice anything that might be a concern. I have recommended Arbor Court to many of my friends looking for a place for a loved one to live.
