Recent reviews for independent living in Oakville

The Lodge at Wake Forest

4.3
From what I do know, he is very happy there. They did want to raise their fees this year, but they worked with him to keep it as minimal of an increase as he could handle based on his Pension and SS income. He does enjoy much of the staff and residents.

Hickory Hill Retirement Community in Burkeville, VA

4.8
Just a very friendly supportive staff in every department. Of the facilities I visited Hickory Hill was the most upfront and all around best value. The country atmosphere is not typical of assisted living facilities. Can't say enough about how friendly and supportive the entire staff is.

Verena at Bedford Falls in Raleigh, NC

4.9
Verena is a beautiful, well maintained, place to live. The staff is wonderful, and efficient, and the food is great. There are multiple, and fun, activities to fill your day. I have made many friends here, and I could not be happier.
