Really comfortable friendly place with amazing food

I appreciate the fact that they clean my room once a week and they have a really helpful staff I chose a very small unit In hindsight wish I'd chosen a bigger one But I can always change when a bigger one comes available Example: maintenance just knocked on my door to see if I needed anything

I have lived at Sterling Court for over two years. I realized I no longer needed to keep my house. It was the right choice for me. My children have their own lives now so I don't need the worries of home ownership. My one bedroom apartment is perfect for my cat and me. I have a lovely deck/balcony and the kitchen has a full size refrigerator and oven. The food is delicious and can be delivered to your apartment if you don't feel like going to the dining room. There are in-house activities like lectures, Bridge and …

I chose Sterling Court because of the location; it has a lot of mature trees and flowers, it's not huge, it doesn't feel like an institution, and it's more homey. I would like a ground floor with a patio when I move in. I liked the staff; they have a very professional, mature staff, they've been there a long time, and they've been in the field a long time. You can have little pets there.

They go places nearby and they have activities all day to keep you occupied. I was very happy with it. The food was excellent. They have a private dining room and t…

Everything was excellent at Sterling -- the person giving the tour, their homes; it’s just that at this point that’s not my style of living. I have my own house and realized I would be giving up too much. Sterling was really nice. It seemed like they have everything, and I couldn’t find anything wrong with it. I liked the setting, the cleanliness, and the professional staff. They have day trips, exercising, and lots of interest groups like walking and crafts. It’s a very active community.
