Review for Ardenwoods

The community is very friendly. My mom enjoys all of the social activities. The food is really good and nicely presented. The only drawback might be that there aren't extensive outdoor walking/ exercise areas. They do, however, take residents a lot of fun places by bus to exercise.

A few tips

Ardenwoods has been okay. The food varies from week to week - it is mediocre. The internet service and TV are bad. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Review for Ardenwoods

We picked this community, because it had more overall of the things that my mom was looking for. I can say that I like it there. Also, I feel that working remotely, it's hard for you to get a real idea of what's available here. There are many places here that I wasn't aware of until I looked for myself.

Cannot get deposit back for 3 years

My parents moved into Arden Woods just prior to Covid and the resulting lock downs. They decided after that, that they needed to move closer to family. However, it has been almost 2 years, and they haven’t gotten their $[removed]deposit back. Arden Woods can hold onto your deposit for up to 3 years after you have moved out.

I toured Ardenwoods and it was good. Cleanliness seemed good. They were informative, all general areas covered. I didn't meet many/any staff really beyond introductions.

Friendly active community.

The meals are good but the vegetables are repetitive and I think that there could be more.They are open and friendly and active in this community. They are also very responsive to any needs that I have. They have a lot of work out activities like yoga, stability and aqua size activities. There is a warm pool that is very inviting. We also have activities like going to restaurants, a group that meets to play bridge and more for the residents to do to stay busy.
