Resort Lifestyle Communities

We've just moved in but would rate all categories 5 at this time. Everyone has been friendly, kind, and knowledgeable about the facility. They respond to messages in a timely manner and offer solutions when needed.

Fantastic place! After only a short time here, we feel at home and like we're part of the larger family. Common areas are very well maintained and always clean. Every one from management to kitchen staff to housekeepers to other residents have been very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Independent Living, so no personal care involved, but 5 for staff such as housekeeping. On-site Resident Managers and 24-hour front desk concierge make life much easier! Meals and dining is a 5+. Great meals, plus snacks available 24/7. Huge assortment of activities and twice a week Happy Hours! Compared to the others we visited, there is no comparison. *They're part of a large company, Resort Lifestyle Communities, with over 50 US locations and many more under construction. If you live here, you can reserve and stay at any other property for up to 4 or 5 nights FREE of charge. There's a Guest Suite here that rents for $[fee removed]/night, breakfast included. *Maintenance will take care of anything you need from hanging pictures on the walls to hooking up your cable when you move in. *The staff strongly encourages everyone to think of this as their home: want to use a conference room? Let them know. Want to sit in the dining room all night drinking coffee and eating soft-serve ice cream? Go for it! Just not in your PJ's, please. Want a bunch of friends over for a movie? They'll set up the theater for you. *Valet parking! I'm only going to use it when there's snow to be cleared from our car. Or on the very rare occasions I can't find a close spot. They do have garages available, for an additional $[fee removed]/month. There's a waiting list and they're a fair distance away -- use the valet parking. *The only negative we've encountered is a lack of storage space. Though we downsized before moving, we got rid of a little more after getting here. We're fortunate to have the largest one-bedroom model, which gives us a 10'x10' walk-in closet in our bedroom. It's full of clothes, with nowhere else for off-season items. *In-unit full size washers and dryers are a real plus. *The kitchens here are amazing! They have all the appliances you'd expect built into your home. But you don't have to cook if you don't want to! They're still perfect for hobby or Holiday baking. *The building is less than 5 years old, so in great shape. It's not even at capacity yet, though getting close, I hear. *Lastly: I am, at 63, by far the youngest resident here, but almost everyone is active and involved. I don't feel out of place. I know that was a lot. We have 2 sets of friends ready to move in and I was trying to think of what I told them that wasn't basic, but important to our decision -- or our happiness now that we're here

I have been Leaving here for a year and two days. I have meet so many great people. I have been almost too busy. I have never felt so safe. A resident left me her cat. So of course I am never caught talking to myself. I’ve organized an Artist group which meets once a week. I am advocating of all the visually unpaired. That takes care of my teaching certificates. I have found a meaningful and productive life here at Chartiers Bend. I invite all my friends to come here

I have a lot of friends here. I like all of the activities that I’ve been engaged in. I think that room is very well organized. I think the food could be better with a little more thought on if you have chili and hotdog dogs or hamburgers then you don’t need something else that is not compatible with it.

Everything at Riverstone has been wonderful! I’ve met great friends and love the social atmosphere. There are lots of activities and great entertainment. There’s always something to do here too.

I love living here at Riverstone. There is always someone around to help you no matter the need. The experiences I have had here with other residents and staff or visitors has been quite a delight. My home.

Great people to work with! They helped us place my mom and Father in law many years ago. They have helped many more people I know. Through support groups and other care groups. Thank you so much! All over the us.

I love Riverstone Independent Living!! It's such a wonderful place to live!! We have the best Managers! [name removed] and [name removed] are soooooo special, along with all the staff!! The dining room staff are great!! The food is amazing and the servers are so nice!! My daughter brought me here after a stay in the hospital and I couldn't be happier!! There is always someone here to help you no matter the time day or night. Our daytime concierge is amazing and can help with anything we need!! We have lots of activities inside and on the bus. I highly recommend Riverstone Independent Living to anyone looking for the best home EVER!!

My wife and I have only been here a short time now, but already know we couldn’t have found a better facility. What with the fantastic food, wonderful atmosphere (like a cruise ship), amazing activities, valet service, terrific management and staff, bus service to shopping, medical appointments, and religious services, and professional entertainment. Residents are always smiling and are very friendly. We are looking forward to many years here.

Riverstone is my home. And always will be. As long as I can help it. I think the staff is amazing especially our bus driver. He is always helping us no matter what the situation is. OUR community is lucky to have such caring people that work here.

My constant remark to new people is, "If you get bored here, it's your own fault we have fitness events, fellowship events, frivolous events, formal events, etc, etc,etc. We believe laughter is the best medicine and we try to stay healthy!

I am a resident at Riverstone and I have been here for 2 years. The people and staff are so friendly. Anyone here is willing to help me, anytime. It’s very clean here and we have fun activities. I am happy here

I’m very happy at Riverstone. I’ve lived here with my wife about 9 years. Everyone is so kind and helpful. Every meal I enjoy here. Activities are always happening so I’m never bored. The bus is great and takes me to all my appointments s and shopping. Thank you Riverstone!

We have a family member here and visit often. Both residents and staff are always so friendly and everyone has a smile on their face! Would recommend Sky Pointe to anyone looking for a place to call home.

My grandmother and grandfather have both called Chartiers Bend home. My grandfather has since passed but I am so grateful that they both called this amazing place home. My grandmother has friends, so many activities, had transportation to shopping and outings and appointments. She’s never alone and always have something to eat. The community is beautiful. Feels like a cruise ship when you walk in. I have no doubt my grandmother is taken care of and is living her best life. The staff are all amazing and are always smiling.

I recently visited a retirement community and from the moment I arrived I found the staff was very helpful taking the time to answer every question and make sure I understood what daily life would look like for residents. The atmosphere was inviting you could tell that both the staff and residents really cared about one another. The living spaces were bright and clean, and designed to make everyone feel at home. I was impressed by how the care plans were designed for your personal lifestyle. It’s clear that the team put real effort into understanding each individual’s needs and preferences. The activities calendar was also full of engaging options, from fitness and art classes to social outings. The visit gave me a lot of peace of mind and I felt good to know there are such caring people and beautiful communities available to support loved ones as they do

The community is beautiful, clean and smells wonderful. Everyone we met was very kind. [name removed] and [name removed] were very helpful. There were activities going on, I can’t remember the Activity Directors name, but she was very sweet to my dad So far the best we have visited. My dad will move after Christmas, Chartiers Bend is our first choice.

My in-laws live at Cahaba Ridge Retirement Community, and we couldn’t be happier with their experience. From the moment you walk in, the staff greets you with genuine warmth and care. The food is absolutely incredible—every meal feels thoughtfully prepared and delicious, with plenty of variety. My in-laws rave about it constantly! The activities are another highlight. They’re creative, fun, and designed to bring everyone together—from themed dinners and movie nights to art classes and fitness sessions. You can feel the sense of community and joy throughout the building. It’s such a relief knowing our family members are not only well cared for but truly thriving. Cahaba Ridge has exceeded our expectations in every way.

As my things left the house l hoped I had made the right decision after deciding Cahaba Ridge was the best place in the area to make my new home. This home will be a 3 story building filled with over 50 years old who want to begin a relaxed life style. So l have decided that l am now widowed and living alone so moving to a a place where l will live in a community of women and men who are retired and have found their goals can be made and their lives less stressful! So l have arrived where l will not cook, clean the house, mow the lawn or check the furnace! So my first month has been meeting the Managers, learning how to get to my meals, playing cards, meeting new friends, and letting the maid in to clean! And it is all a reasonable cost.

My husband and I have been here for almost 4 years, and it's been a pleasure. We would certainly recommend Aspen Trail to anyone looking into senior living. We are independent now and have peace of mind for the future, since Aspen Trail has many options for additional help.
