Amazing activities

Residents and the activities are fantastic! I just loved how welcome they made me feel. Only downside was the food didn’t feel super fresh. Made me wish it was more home made tasting. Other than that and hearing that the maintenance is less to be desired.

Smells terrible

I was having lunch with a family member, if you could call it that, and had one of the worst experiences. First, the food tasted like it was all processed, and fried in dirty oil. While our waiter([name removed]) was amazing, a waitress for a neighboring table was beyond disrespectful. I was so shocked listening to [name removed] welcome the table with “what do you want”, “you can read the menu can’t you”(when asked for the special), just no tact. And the kicker was when I went to use the restroom next to the dini

Wonderful place to live!

The people who live and work at Verena are what make it special for me. Having been recently widowed, I was worried about fitting in prior to moving here. But everyone is very friendly and inclusive. There are a variety of activities to accommodate people and you can be as busy as you choose. They have various apartment sizes to choose from, I have a one bedroom and it is perfect for my needs. I'm very happy I chose Verena at Leander for this stage of my life.

Wonderful transition from house to apartment living

When looking for a place for mom or dad, give us a look. Leaving a house is a difficult choice. I have personally lived in 4 different properties over the last 8 years and Verena at Leander is by far the best. I feel safe, well fed and have transportation to where I need to go (within a certain distance). Grocery store (HEB) and Wal Mart runs are made about once a week. Everyone is friendly and accepting. We have outings (either eating out or visiting an interesting place). We have games to play (just about any th

Overall care and facility

The current Verena team is amazing. The office team, especially [name removed] are wonderful! Their prompt response, kindness, understanding and care is beyond words. Their chef and dinning team are exceptional! There were some bumps in the road in the past. The entire team is just that; a team. I would even say more like a family. I am so impressed with all the positive changes and care that exudes from everyone. I hope this continues and I look forward to the continued collaboration from all. My Mom & I are so gr
