Things are good

My sister in law likes that this community is connected to the town library and she is able to go over anytime they are open. She has made friends and has started to participate in the trips out. The staff are fabulous and she likes the food. We are very pleased with the way things are going. We did not need to look any further once we found this community. I would recommend it.

This community seems well run

We love the staff at The Villages. They are helpful, attentive and good at keeping us updated. Mom enjoys the exercise class three times a week as well as bible study and working puzzles in the main room. The community is super clean and housekeeping is available to clean your apartment. I would recommend this newer community.

This was a very clean facility with a community garden area for the residents. During the tour I seen good interaction with the residents. The guide was able to provide me with very knowledgeable details about the community. After seeing the location, we found that it is outside our proximity.

really good

They do a really good job keeping me informed of how he is doing, and I know that he is happy there and is getting really good care at The Villages of Lonsdale. One area where they could improve would be the activities. They have some, but they need more and wider variety. He kind of needs to be kept busy, as do the other residents.

very happy there

My friend that is living at The Villages of Lonsdale is very happy there and really enjoys it. She has only been there for a couple of months, but from everything she has told me they do things very well. The staff is very friendly and they go out of their way to accommodate wherever they can, and the food there is really good also.

Staff and residents extremely positive and friendly, best value

We're very pleased with it. The staff is friendly, and the residents are friendly. They don't only talk initially, they're always friendly. They're definitely the best value out there. It took several trips to get the TV fixed, but other then that, things have been top notch. The location is great; it is almost exactly halfway between Oak Hill and Albert Lee. I think it's a choice place for independent living. The value is great, and the staff and the residents are very friendly.
