PositiveI'm moving into Primrose Retirement Community of Decatur. I've got my own villa, a two-bedroom, two-bath, and it was big. I wanted that more than I did an apartment. I was thoroughly impressed. The staff was wonderful, friendly, and nice, and they made me feel welcome. I'm impressed with the food. I've eaten over there quite a few times, and the food is delicious.

PositiveI toured Primrose Retirement Community of Decatur. They have everything. They have billiards and a bar room on certain days. They have a built-in movie theater. They have fine dining, which is all over the whole downstairs. It's just a beautiful complex. They have a beauty shop, a chapel, and a spa. She could live independently, get her own apartment, and still get assisted living. The staff who gave the tour was very fine, good, and knowledgeable. The facility was very clean.

They followed up after our visit to see if we had any more questions or what our thoughts were.

They have 24-hour nursing available, and they all did a good job and were very good about communicating with us. They had lots of activities, chu…

PositivePrimrose Retirement Community of Decatur is a very nice facility. It's well-maintained. It has independent and assisted living, so there's a little bit of a continuum of care. It's a smaller facility and it has a lot of the same features as other facilities, but the main attraction was that my aunt had lots of friends there already. She chose a 2-bedroom independent living apartment. We chose a plan that serves two meals a day. They also have lots of good amenities at the facility, good food, a littl…

PositivePrimrose wasn’t the first place I went to, but I was impressed and liked the independent living part of it. In fact, I was looking at a two-bedroom because it had an attached garage. I liked the size of the kitchen, the living room, and it had a really nice, full room large enough to be used as a second bedroom if you had something that would fold up. It was well decorated and neutral, which was nice because then you could put anything with it, and it had options for furniture placement. The kitchen was very nice w…
