Integrated Senior Lifestyles

Very good visit. It was the best of the two. Tarrytowne was a good visit, but we have determined that it is not for us. The location is nice, but I don't like the fact that the walkways to the main dining room are not covered.

Lovely facility-very well laid out, very informative tour but didn’t see many residents. Very quiet Hallways are darker but rooms are great. Felt like a very nice hotel as you walked through

I toured this facility while looking for a place for my Mother. It is a newer facility and it is gorgeous. It overlooks the canals in the area and it feels like a hotel. The rooms are wonderful and my wife has even said she would love to retire here. The marketing director who gave us the tour was knowledgeable and gave us clear answers. However, this facility was not a good fit for my mom. The community feels aseptic and I while I was here I never really saw any of the residents. It’s a nice place but I would only recommend it to people who are more active.

Nice looking place. It is hard to park to go see it. (Parallel parking on the street.) Nice staff. Modern and well decorated the smell of the food was in all floors. Cover parking is expensive. They offer customization.

I was here briefly. For some people it’s very good, for me it wasn’t. I moved in because the facility has activities, there’s an exercise place and things like that, and it’s just like a big community. The room that was there was only 675sq feet and it was on the third floor, whereas previously I was used to a much larger room. When I moved in, the electricity was out and the elevator was out which meant that I was forced to walk up and down 3 flights of stairs every time and I have COPD which made it difficult. I asked how often the electricity goes out and they said not that often…which, to me, meant that it’s happened more than once. To get from one side of the building to the other was very lengthy, which made me anxious. The people that worked there were very nice and the other residents that were there seemed to like it. The cleanliness was great and I didn’t see anything that was unkempt or out of order. The lady that took me on a tour of the place was very nice and very informative. The price that I was going to be paying included 20 meals with a free breakfast, a landline, tv, housekeeping twice a month, trash pickup 3 times a week, and laundry about twice a month. I would recommend that people look at this place for themselves.

My mom and I chose this place because it really fit the type of place that we were looking for. It’s a really new facility, only been open for maybe less than year. We were referred through A Place for Mom and because of that, we were actually able to get to the front of the line to get my mom moved in as soon as possible. It was a bit of a painful set up at first, but overall the staff has been great and easy to communicate with. The food is good and my mother gets 3 meals a day, but it’s at timed intervals so you aren’t able to get a snack if you want to. They have 2 lunchrooms, so I don’t know if the menus are different at each one but there are pretty limited choices. The facility is kept very clean and my mom gets housekeeping once a week where they’ll change her sheets and clean the apartment. She’s responsible for her laundry for most of the week but when housekeeping comes, they’ll do a load of laundry for her. Something that I really like is that the apartments have their own washer and dryer that are provided by the community. Maintenance repairs or replaces any issues that she’s having they’re really good about doing it in a timely manner. They even installed handholds in the shower for her! She gets an alert necklace that she can wear around her neck just in case something happens and it operates 24hrs a day so someone is always there to help. There’s a group onsite that provides healthcare called Golden Acres, so she doesn’t have to leave the facility to see a doctor. There’s a nurse practitioner that comes in about once a month to check on her and do an evaluation of her meds and make sure she’s doing okay. They provide a number of activities for the residents to do. Every Friday evening, they’ll bring in some sort of entertainment and have a happy hour. They go on trips, do arts and crafts, bible studies, and they even have a nice game room where there’s a billiards table and ping pong. The facility is very, very nice and it’s 55+ independent living so my mom loves that she is able to talk with and be around people her own age. They also have an indoor swimming pool and fitness center! I would definitely recommend living here. Any issues I’ve had were external and nothing at all to do with the facility itself. The staff here is so nice and this is the only facility that’s really like itself, there isn’t anywhere else like it. It’s like a dream come true!

My mom wanted to find somewhere that was independent living and when we got here and saw what she was getting for her money, it was a no brainer. The overall condition and cleanliness of this community made us so impressed; I’ve never had problem in her room or the rest of the place when it comes to cleanliness. The leasing coordinator was very friendly and helpful and the staff is knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. The food has a good quality overall, balanced in nutrition, and has the stuff that she needs and wants. This was really important for her because she did not want to have to cook anymore or rely on TV dinners. They offer some activities like shopping, bingo, and they’ll take the residents out in a van for doctors’ appointments. Everyone else in the community seems very friendly and welcoming too, and mom is making tons of friends. The price that you pay here makes you feel like you’re getting more bang for your buck. My mom was very adamant that she wanted to use her money and not ours so it was important to find somewhere within her budget and Town Village offers a lot of great services despite it being inexpensive. My only issue is that she’s been there since September and still hasn’t had a maintenance person show up to help her get things situated, which is something they’re currently working on. I’ve already recommended this place to others as a good place to live.

Final 3 selection. Second floor is "signature" floor offering 3meals daily, concierge type services, more attention.

The community was very nice and we really thought it would be a great place for,y in-law. But there was not enough care here. It is a separate charge and they are , basically set up like senior apartments. They provide meals, cleaning, and management of the apartments. One would have to pay extra for making sure the resident goes to meals or to help with medication. They have a 3rd party provider who gives the extra help but would have to pay additionally at a la carte pricing. We were wanted to stay within a budget.

We liked the community and the rate structure. We needed 3 meals a day and a huge bedroom for a king size bed. We did have a good tour and everybody we met was nice. They were professional and they were able to give me answers I needed. When I was shown around the community the bedroom was not large enough and they offered 1 meal, not including the continental breakfast. They were not fitting for our needs.

My mother is doing well with her move to this community. It is a nice facility with kind people. They do a good job with the cleanliness around the community. They provide good meals, and nice activities. My mother is safe, and in good hands here. This is a community I would recommend overall.

The Isle at Watercrest was the best choice for my mom. It also very close and convenient for us to come and visit mom. The staff is very welcoming to family members when we come to visit. The overall atmosphere is very warm and inviting and nicely decorated. The staff is very friendly and attentive to my mom's care needs. I have not had a chance to dine there with my mom but she thinks the food is really good. They offer activities and the staff encourages the residents to participate. We are very satisfied with the good care they are taking of our mom and we are happy that she is comfortable there. I would recommend this community to friends and family.

My tour of this community went well. Everyone was friendly to my family, and I. The community looked good from what I saw. The experience was a pleasant one, but I did find another facility that met our needs better.

Enjoyed the tour and the facilities. Keeping it in mind.

I wasn't feeling all that well when I moved in a couple of weeks ago so I haven't spent much time here but so far I seem to like it. My apartment is spacious and I have enough room for my things. I am currently not on a meal plan due to me being ill but from what I was told the food is quite good so I am looking forward to eating the food. When I am feeling better and I have my strength back I plan on joining the activities that are offered. So far from what I have experienced the staff is friendly and the overall appearance of the place is well kept and clean.

I took a tour of this community for my mother, and her needs. Everything went well, and my tour was a nice experience. The community looked nice, and clean. The staff I met was kind, and friendly. My questions were. This wasn't the community for us, but my tour of it was a good one.

I was able to speak with the nice staff on the care that is offered at this community. I was informed on the menu that is offered. They have nice activities for the residents. This community was not available at the time. We were impressed that they were able to inform us on all the night qualities that are offered. Families might want to contact this community.

This is a very nice facility and the staff were very friendly. The apartments also are nice; however, the one I was able to see seemed very small (probably because I need to adjust to living in other than a house.

I am very pleased with my decision to move here even though it is a big adjustment going from a house to an apartment. I feel very safe and secure here. The property is lovely and there are lots of things to do here I just have to be open to participating in things. I have joined a book club and I joined a singles group. They offer housekeeping services at an additional cost but I would rather do my own just as I would rather do my own cooking since I am on a salt-free diet. They do have a dining room that you can go downstairs but they don't seem to accommodate to special diets. I still drive but they do offer transportation services twice a week for shopping and doctor appointments. I would recommend this community to anyone the reason why I chose it was located not a very busy area for traffic and the cost it fit within my budget for what I was looking for

The person that took us on tour was nice and the community looked clean. They seem to offer some nice amenities. This community just seemed ok compared to the community we chose.
