I went to The Veraden. The kitchen was really nice, but the bedrooms were small. They were smaller than the other place I visited. The downstairs was beautiful. The style wasn't contemporary. It was new, but there was an old world kind of feel about the decorations. It had a beautiful spiral staircase. The dining room was nice.

The facility is great! Staff is good. On the weekends, they do seem to be a bit short staffed, but they do bring additional staff in to help and it seems to work well. The food is good.

The facility is great! Staff is good. On the weekends, they do seem to be a bit short staffed, but they do bring additional staff in to help and it seems to work well. The food is good. Mom hasn't participated in many activities yet. I do wish they would have introduced her to the activities director when she moved in. I think doing that would help residents feel more comfortable and encourage them to engage and participate. But I also know ultimately, it's up to each resident to decide and be willing to participate. I just think a personal introduction/welcoming might help. The facility is very clean and I would recommend them.

I went to look at The Veraden. It was a good visit. It was really large, and the hallways were confusing. The people were very nice. The rooms were clean and seemed a little small. They had a walk-in pool.

I will be moving into The Veraden. There are multiple things that they can offer either independent living or assisted living, and that's a plus. They have the facilities.

I will be moving into The Veraden. There are multiple things that they can offer either independent living or assisted living, and that's a plus. They have the facilities. It's a very nice-looking facility and looks like a five-star hotel. They have shown me the rooms, that's why I have already selected an independent living area. They have a refrigerator, microwave oven, and stove. They also have a washer and dryer, both in a big percentage of the facilities. The staff was very nice and very helpful, her name's Mary. She was an outgoing type of individual and had shown everything in detail; she wasn't just skipping over it either. I even got my haircut there. I set up an appointment about two or three days before I was going back over there, and I got my hair cut and my beard trimmed. They offered me some food, I didn't take it, but it looked fine. The people in assisted living, have a different area where they eat versus the ones that are in independent living. They have an underground storm shelter . So, you just walked down the slope, and then it is a Mall Theater, you can watch movies or whatever in that area.

Our family had an in person tour and it was a good experience, it is a nice facility but it is so large that we were concerned she would struggle walking from the apartments to the dining hall.

The community is very clean and the staff members who do work there are very friendly and nice. There are so many activities, there is something every half hour during the week from yoga class, sewing class, board games and card games, and they can even go out on outings.

The community is very clean and the staff members who do work there are very friendly and nice. There are so many activities, there is something every half hour during the week from yoga class, sewing class, board games and card games, and they can even go out on outings. The dining service is only struggling because of the staffing issues. Despite the staffing issues we are happy our loved one is here, it is about as good as it gets.
