I visited this facility

I found The Estates to be very nice. The staff was very friendly. They answered all my questions and gave me the proper tour. They have one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. The one-bedroom, for myself and what I'm used to, was a little small, but the two-bedroom was what I was considering. They have many things, but no food. Each place has a kitchen, so that you can do your own. They have a beautiful courtyard, a library, a movie room, a computer room, and a crafts room.

It is a safe and supportive place for my family member. The staff is genuinely concerned about the residents. My sister in law seems to be very happy to be living there.

Review for The Estates

I love it here! And I've been too busy to do many activities which I look forward to. Very clean and well maintained. Many people told me they have been here many years and like it here very much. Great staff and friendly residents. My apartment was extremely clean and freshly renovated when I moved in.

I visited this facility

I visited The Estates, an independent living community, and it is the number one choice for me. It's a very established community. It's very quiet, the people are nice, and it's close to everything. There's even a shopping center nearby. They showed me two apartments, and I picked the best one for me. They said they were going to put on a new carpet and made me pick the color and style. For the bathroom, you can choose to have a curtain or a door, and I picked the door. I like that I have the fr…

I would tell others looking that the staff and residents at The Estates are very friendly and helpful if you have a problem or are sick. There are always things to do or you can volunteer . We think that it is well worth the money.
