I am/was a resident of this facility

I was a resident of Golden Pond Retirement Community. The food was okay. I didn't eat in the cafeteria much because you had to pay for your meals.

Not a corporate environment - A more personal and homey feel

Overall, I've been very satisfied with the care and the facilities. The staff is wonderful. There's one caregiver in particular who is always cheerful when she comes in, she gives compliments, and she knows the little things. She really paid attention to some of the décor in my loved one's apartment and related, "Oh, I have this pattern." She does extra little steps, like one time she took the laundry basket from me and finished up folding the last little bit of laundry. The staff just love my dad in general. He's …

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Golden Pond always puts the welfare of their residents first. The GP response to the COVID-19 outbreak has been exemplary, with excellent communication to families. The caregivers have made my mother’s experience much brighter, even in these times.
