A friendly and home-like environment immediately

[names removed]seem very in tune with making my mom feel welcome. The welcome committee and most all of the other residents made were all so friendly and no one ever let her eat alone. She was always asked to join a table at breakfast and lunch! She also loves all of the activities available for fun.

After checking other communities, Verena with its well landscaped exterior invites you to an open bright interior with more than enough activities to choose from . The people are what make Verena a No 1 choice , some one is always there to share and help!

Verena satisfies my lodging, food and friendship needs!

Verena - well landscaped ,recently renovated public areas ,many meal choices and activities galore! What makes Verena is the people , all are in similar stages in their lives and willing to assist to meet individual needs.

Caring and organized from the beginning

From start to finish of the move in proceess and then the months that have passed by have been such a relief for my parents and I. My mother can go to activities in the building knowing that dad is just upstairs. She has taken to water color painting and my dad enjoys the music events that are held. I know they are eating well and my father gained some much needed weight but there are great food choices available and my mom has lost a few pounds since she can choose a balanced meal. They have both thrived and become a part of the community in their own ways. As for the apartment, it is light, bright and easy to keep up. The cleaning service is perfect for them. I cannot say enough on how happy we all are that we found Venena!!!

Highly Recommended

The staff is friendly and helpful. They seem to really care about the residents and foster a warm community feeling. It is a welcoming environment and the move in went smoothly. The housekeeping staff does a great job and the food is excellent. I would highly recommend this facility.

Madelyn : but I am the only resident with name.

My experience overall is positive, but needs changes. can make it even better

My experience has been positive. The physical ""plant" at Verena is really nice, especially with the recent changes of new carpets, furniture etc. My concern is with services that are promised. We residents are charged A LOT of money month for services beyond rent for the apartments. We have been patient with the under-staffing because this happens everywhere. In short, I have been a patient patient! I still drive, but parking is a problem, especially when many of us can't do a lot of walking. Residents who don't drive often should not park close to back entrances. Food offered really needs to be improved. I applaud the efforts to offer us health food choices.. But I don't think the people cooking are skilled cooks. Very often, what one orders isn't what one gets! Don't name a salad or entre unless one can produce what is genuine. What you call an item on the menu, you are establishing expectations! It is not a good idea to promise more than can be delivered!
