Review for Walden Place Senior Living

Over all I am pleased with Waldon. Can always find something to eat. On the negative side the rides off property are only from 9 to 1 PM. Not convenient for doctors appointments. Also there is only one housekeeper. I've only caught her once to make my bed and clean the floors.

Great community

The internet is very good in my room. I think the main asset is the staff! They have welcomed me and made my transition into this new chapter a little bit easier. It was tough for me at first. One other thing are the residents themselves here. They have been so nice! That helped too.

The facility is very nice inside; bright, clean, and nicely decorated . There are several nice common areas, the dining room is spacious with lots of natural light. I liked the one bedroom and efficiency floor plans, both had nice balconies or access to a small patio. I think this would be a nice place to live.

My husband and I had toured this community several times over the last couple years for our dad and really loved the staff. We came back in Dec and were really disappointed. Upon arrival we couldn't locate any staff. When the director came out of the office we asked for [name removed] or [name removed] and were told they didnt work there any longer. We felt rushed like we were bothering him. It seems like all the great people that made us feel so at home are gone.

a wonderful first month here

Today is the one month anniversary of joining Walden Place Senior Living. I chose Walden Place because they welcomed my cat, Helen of Toy, and I knew a resident who was happy here, and my tour of the residence impressed me. I needed a place to live that had a community to share meals and meet friends. I joined in on craft and art activities, exercise group, Bingo and Scrabble, and live music performances. I've gone on bus outings to coffee shops, ice cream parlor, and grocery stores. I feel safe, welcomed and loved. I get to have an event to advertise my book, Choosing Dance Over Despair. I hope other seniors find a home to become my neighbors.

Great location

Great location, prices a bit lower relative to other facilities, they've been helpful. Food menu could be a bit more creative, but is fine.

Our family's experience

They did increase his rent by $[removed] this year which was HUGE jump for living off social security i tried to fight it but couldn't so had to adjust things to make it work was rather disappointed. A lil increase like 40-50 is more manageable than $[removed]!!! It's kinda hard on some as I can only do what Dad tells me like the food. He is picky but he doesn't really like the food about 50% of the time for lunch and dinner so he is eating out a lot more as they don't have things like he likes like fried chicken, onion rings more what I call meat and potatoes and he likes it at first when he moves in but they have changed ownership and chefs a couple times since then As far as the rest I like the new remodel looks clean etc but I would say anything is perfect so that's why I didn't put 5

My Dad has been there about three months and he has loved it! He is very picky on food and I was very worried about that but he has really liked the meals! He loves having people to talk to as well and there is always activities so it keeps him more active. They have a workout facility which is equipped well for him to use. They also just remodeled it all and it looks FANTASTIC! Great place to live for him this far and staff has been great.

Review for Holiday Walden Place

I am very active outside of Walden with friends, family & activities. But I am confident that over time I will feel more a part of this community. Yes, I would recommend Walden Place. The location, size, renovations, living & community space, staff, & opportunities to participate are all excellent. I'm glad to be here.

Just what I needed

I came directly from a rehab facility but still needed some extra help. That is very available here! All the staff are great and friendly. They often go the extra mile. I feel very safe, we are well fed and comfortable. There are plenty of interesting and fun activities to do as you wish. I admire staff being able to deal with many different personalities.
