I am/was a resident of this facility

I moved to Ponderosa Assisted Living Community. I'm in their assisted living, and what I like best is the people. The caregivers are pretty nice. The size of the room is pretty fair. You don't have all that much room in there. That's just for a one-room apartment, though. If you have a bedroom, then you can keep more stuff, I guess. The cleanliness is pretty good. They're just having problems right now with their air conditioning, so the room's getting a little warm. They have quite a bit w…

My parents moved to the Ponderosa Assisted Living Community. They had great staff. I value the staff there and the way they treat my folks. The best feature I noticed there I guess would be accessibility. It's an older place, but it's in good upkeep. They have a variety of activities. They bring in a musician to sing and they have different things like Wii systems. They go shopping and they have a church service.

I would recommend Ponderosa to anyone. The residents and staff here are great. It is the second best next to being in my own home. The move in process was easy; everyone was nice, pleasant, and helpful throughout. Being at the Ponderosa makes me feel like I am at home and I am very happy to be here. Ponderosa has a great menu! It changes each month but there is always familiar food. The kitchen staff does a great job and are always willing to adjust any meal to a personal preference.

When looking for a new place to live, I was really drawn to Ponderosa. I heard great things about it. My move in process was really fast and was made easy for me. I would recommend Ponderosa to anyone; everyone is happy here and the staff is really great. I love our menu here. It has the best food and that is saying something because I am a picky eater! Being active was one of the main reasons to moving and Ponderosa does not disappoint. My favorite is jewelry making and manicures!

Before I was looking for assisted living, I visited the Ponderosa with a friend. When I came for a visit, I saw how well the staff took care of her friend and how friendly everyone was. Since making the move to Ponderosa, I can confidently say the care is great and everyone is very friendly. Ponderosa also has a great menu with a nice variety. I really love that the menu changes monthly. The kitchen is able to fix meals so that there is something for everyone.

My husband and I were first looking at assisted living because he needed more care with his increasing health problems. We found the Ponderosa and quickly made the move. The Ponderosa has a good menu, with a variety of options. I enjoy the activities but my favorite would be knitting because we get to sit and visit with each other. I love that I can have my dog here, since it has been hard since my husband passed away.
