Verena is more than I expected - love my apartment w a patio; gourmet meals served in a lovely dining room; too many activities to attend and friendly staff and residents. Downside: its far from shops but has library access and paved woods path.

My husband, [name removed], and I have been living in one of the cottages at Verena of Hilliard for a little over 9 months. We are very happy that we made the move. The staff members have been very welcoming and have made themselves available to discuss any issues, questions, or just to chat. The clubhouse facility is beautiful, and we enjoy participating in a variety of activities, parties, happy hours, and dining. The food is amazing! We have one of the pond view cottages. The view alone is worth it. The cottage itself is spacious, has a modern floor plan and decor. It is perfect for our needs. Best of all, we have made new friends with whom we love spending time.

It's attached to the public library. No need to even go outside. It is a nice place that I would definitely recommend to others.

Truly we are family at Verena. We know one another’s name without their name tag. We pretty much know how many children they have and where they lived. We know what you have done in the past. We know about your health because we are concerned about one another. At the dinner table or at breakfast table we will laugh at one another and with one another and we know where we can joke and we cannot. Meal time is almost like Thanksgiving with all the family around. New folks are welcome to the table and encouraged to participate in the activities of our facility, which are many. Come visit us get to know us and I know you will like for.

My husband, [name removed], and I have been living in one of the Verena cottages for about a month. We are very happy that we made the move. We have a beautiful view of the pond from our back patio. The rooms are spacious with lots of natural light coming in through the many windows. Of course, with any new build there are glitches to work out. The staff have quickly responded to and resolved all our requests. Everyone (staff and residents) is so friendly and helpful. There are a wide variety of activities for those who wish to participate. You always feel welcomed. The meals are out of this world delicious and the atmosphere of the dining room is relaxing and friendly. We have been very pleased to start this new stage of our lives here.

Toured this facility twice and had lunch once. It is very clean and the employees are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend Verena to anyone looking for a retirement facility. Was pleased and impressed at the closed spaces for ‘stuff’ - which is what I need.

Previously booked an appointment but happened to be in vicinity so decided to drop in. Marketing personnel were out on tour with other clients. Was greeted by resident who was most helpful in securing a brochure and answering questions. Resident was very positive about the services and amenities! Certainly a site to add to your search for senior living, etc.!

If you want a place that eases your mind when you talk your parents into downsizing, well this is it. I just did this after looking at many and I mean many communities in the surrounding areas. They have brought my parents out of their shell and have got them coming to bible studies, exercise classes, musical events and they are even going out on trips. Their favorite so far is the covered bridge tour. Thank you staff at Verena for placing a huge smile on my parent's face.

I am a resident here at the Verena at Hilliard. I have been so for the last 2 years. When I first moved in, I was nervous, quiet and to myself. Mostly depressed because my husband had just died. I met a lot of the other residents, but I still stayed to myself. After a month or two I came out and attended a musical activity. I have been going to more and more activities as my confidence has changed. I met a few other residents and have become very close to them. If you want a wonderful place that keeps you busy, has wonderful food and has a wonderful staff I would recommend the Verena at Hilliard.

I came in for a tour to check out this community for my parents. What a beautiful place and setting. While I was there they had a musician that was fantastic. I looked over at my dad and he was tapping his fingers agreeing with what he heard. The staff was so sweet starting at the front door. My dad is very quiet and shy and when he saw his name on the board he started chuckling. He looked at my mom and said look there, we are stars. The lady up front, I believe her name was [name removed] was very sweet and cordial as was the rest of the staff.

(1) The best part was the cottages because of attached garage (2) The dining room closes at 3 pm: very bad idea (3) Not a walkable community (4) Connect to library = very good (5) Needed to be more informed about activities

I have been a resident of Verena at Hilliard since March, 2023 and I love living here. I am happy to share with you the reasons for my contentment : I don't have to cook and the food is delicious! I don't need to mow the lawn, shovel snow, clean the gutters or trim the shrubs. I can easily get to church, shopping and doctors. I love and respect the staff and fellow residents. I can visit the library in a few minutes, rain or shine. I love meeting new friends and sharing their experiences. Soooo, I ask What's Not To Like????

I would like to tell you about a place that I didn't even know existed. This place is the Verena at Hilliard. It is a 55+ place and it is beautiful. So clean and inviting. I stopped by last week. I am looking for a place for my mom. The staff from the start was so nice and kind. The lady at the front desk welcomed me and without any hesitation asked me to have a seat in a conference room setting while she asked for a sales lady to come and talk to me. She came back to me with a bottled water and kept me company until a sales lady came in . She explained to me what came with the unit and took me around to look. Very nice and made me feel comfortable. I told her my mom was having difficulties walking and remembering things and wasn't sure this was the place for her but told her I would be in touch. I then met a very outgoing and also welcoming. She introduced herself as the Activities Person. So nice and also welcoming. I would recommend this place to a more active person

It is a warm visit from the time you enter the building. The front desk staff were amazing and each team member greeted me as I walked through. The food was outstanding and the servers were pleasant. This is a place I can see my mother living.

I was visiting a relative here at the Verena at Hilliard and the welcome I was provided was so sweet and kind. I travelled here to visit my sister and I walked in the door and was greeted by the receptionist who was so nice and professional. I had an overnight stay reserved in one of their additional rooms. I walked to the room and opened the door and wow. What a beautiful room. It was even better than staying at a hotel. The room was so nice and cozy and it was so clean and smelled like someone was baking cookies. If you haven't seen this community, you might want to. It's beautiful.

I go to the Verena at Hilliard every Tuesday afternoon to play cards with some of my friends who used to live where I do now. It's a very nice and clean community and the employees are always so welcoming when I come in. Thank you Verena staff and friends for making me feel like family.

I live at this beautiful community and I want everyone to know that it’s not just a place to live but it’s family. I lost my husband a few months back and these residents and staff have been the most caring people. I never expected just how sincere and caring even strangers have been.

We stopped by this beautiful community without an appointment and was greeted by a receptionist who was so kind. She offered us water and sat us in a room for a minute while she got someone to come and help us. A lady named [name removed] appeared and was so warm and caring. This was a hard day for us and she could understand that. She showed us around and I had no idea that this place existed. I was so surprised that it was attached to the library at that. She asked if we’d like to stay for lunch mind you that we didn’t have an appointment. We stayed and it was delicious. Some of the residents stopped by and said hi and made us feel right at home. We met some of the employees and the girl that runs activities. She introduced herself and told my dad she’d keep him busy. I’m just in awe about this place. Thank you for making a hard day am easier one
