PositiveWe toured Timber Ridge at Talus. They were very helpful. They had a lovely library. The unit was much smaller than the other two places that I've looked at. The food was very good, and it was restaurant-type dining. You could eat in the main dining room or different places. So, that was nice. They had a beauty shop and they had a pool, and that was very important to me because I like water aerobics. They were very supportive of the residents' interest. They had a general meeting room. This facility was lo…

PositiveWe've chosen Timber Ridge at Talus. The underground parking was large. They seemed to have lots of activities, their clientele seemed to be a little healthier than the other places we looked at. There were several restaurants. There was a reading room with all the newspapers. There was a woodworking shop, a theater, and just a lot of nice sitting areas. We had dinner and it was excellent. It looked like a five-star hotel when we looked at it. It was very clean and very well-run.

PositiveI looked at Timber Ridge (Briarwood at Timber Ridge). It's absolutely elegant, it is beautiful, and it is first class. It's very expensive and it's top of the line. The appearance of it is like a ski resort. It is not like an old folks' home, a rest home, or a nursing home facility at all. It's a beautiful, hotel-looking like ski resort. It's woodsy.

PositiveTimber Ridge was very nice, very new, in very good shape, and very clean. However, it was also very compressed. The staff treated me very nicely though. They have a very good staff. They have a very nice swimming pool, an exercise room, an art room, a meeting room, and an auditorium. They're all very upscale.

PositiveTimber Ridge is fabulous; they only thing is it takes four months to get out of it, which is a big pain. But it’s the nicest place I have ever seen. The food is absolutely 5 star, and the rooms are spacious. Mom has been here for 10 years now. The only problem is my mother is mostly blind, and my sister is leaving the area; that’s the reason why she is leaving.

PositiveTimber Ridge at Talus was a beautiful place. It was a high rise building and very new, but the parking was underground. The rooms were very large and very nice. I was there at Christmastime, and all of their salespeople were off, so I just met one person. The food was very good. It didn't appeal to me because it was a tall building and the parking would be a problem for me. It was a little expensive.
