I visited this facility

We toured Wilson Commons. They have a variety of options available for independent living as well as assisted living. They have units that are detached from the large building and more like ranch homes. The meals were optional, and you sign up when you wanted to go or just go when you wanted to go. It was a separate restaurant-type thing. They have a very roomy lobby with a nice layout. I saw the activities room. They also had gardens behind where people could still go and garden if they wanted to. All the apartmen…

I lived at Wilson Commons for several years and I can say from experience that it’s a terrible place for senior citizens. In my case, my furnace/air conditioner stopped working and it took three months to analyze what was wrong (it had to be replaced). When it was replaced, it still didn’t work because the installers didn’t turn the electricity on. In another case, the kitchen faucet handle had to be replaced and after a week, I had to call the corporate office and, finally, someone came to look at it. I went to Ho…

If an elderly individual needs to move to an apartment, Wilson Commons is the last place to go. The staff is very unfriendly, the food, if you choose to buy it, is terrible, and if you need any maintenance in your apartment, you’ll have to wait at least a week to get it, if the office even bothers to accept your maintenance request. I should know…I lived at Wilson Commons for several years and found it to be one of the worst places for a senior citizen to go. If your heat/airconditioning fails, it will take up to t…

I will be moving into Wilson Commons. What I liked about it was that they had elevators. There was a common area with nice couches and chairs where you could sit and talk with people. On the first floor, there's another little conversation area that also has a television and a beautiful fish tank. It has a large dining room type of thing, but it's not just your dining room. On Thursday, they have card games in there most of the day. They do have free rides if you sign up to pick and save. They have exerci…

I visited this facility

I will be moving into Wilson Commons. It was on the south side. It was a lot cheaper. I just interacted with the nurse who did the assessment on me. They will be checking on me, giving me my medication, and making sure I'm alright. They had one and two bedrooms. I chose the one-bedroom. The amenities included a controlled entry, heating or air conditioning, electricity, water, three balanced and nutritious meals daily, emergency call system in each department, and 24 hours staff available for emergencies. They…

I am very happy at the Chopin. Have a lovely 2 bedroom apt. Very spacious and nice and light and bright. It overlooks the Wilson Park, so I can take daily walks if I choose to. Staff has always been helpful and courteous. If I need repairs, they are attended to in a timely manner. So nice not to worry about house maintenance anymore. Weekly activities are available, if you choose to be social. Meets mu needs, perfectly.
