I visited this facility

I'm going to move in. I stayed there for two days as a guest, so I got a good feel for the place and the people there, and the staff. I was very happy. I interacted with the staff. They were wonderful and very helpful. The menu for the dinner is excellent. The food is delicious. The breakfast is wonderful. Everyone was very friendly. They showed several outdoor activities, and there was an activity room and a gym. They have the latest equipment and someone comes in and does exercise with the people. The food w…

It has the most pros and the least cons among all the places we visited. We will be staying in a one-story duplex, and it's very nice. It's a two-bedroom with one car garage and screened-in porch. They don't have a pool, but they have a game room, a workout room, a little movie theater, and crafts activities There's a lot of things to do. The employees were all very nice and very helpful.

Very Satisfied

I'm very happy with Ambient at Austin Village. The facility is very clean. It's brand new. The tenants are very nice and friendly, and they all look out for each other. The setting is lovely - it backs up against a wooded area, so you get to look out on nature. It's located near the supermarket and drugstore, which is convenient. The staff are wonderful and very sweet. My loved one is very happy with the food, and that's coming from someone who is very particular. They offer various activities. There's a gym on-sit…

The gal that met me at the door could not possibly have been any nicer. She was just a really pleasant person, and it really means a lot. The place was very clean. Of course it's brand new, but it was lovely, just lovely. I haven't had a meal there yet, although, one of the people that lives there came over to talk to us, and he did invite me to come for dinner some night. He would love for me to meet his wife and his grandchildren. Just very, very nice people. They have a movie room. They had a fully fur…
