But we finally completed the move last week and I have nothing but high praise for this community. The physical property is beautiful and it was great for my parents to be able to have choices in flooring, cabinetry, countertops (granite is standard!) etc. Really anything. Special accolades to Sarah and Colleen who were so very kind and helpful every step of the way. During the move-in they would magically appear just as we thought of something we needed or had a question to ask. As an out-of-town daughter, Sarah, Colleen and the whole crew at Ardenwoods gave me a level of comfort I didn't think was possible. This is a fabulous place with wonderful people

Marti turned an experience that could have been considered drudgery into fun! She greeted our family on her day off with a smile! She helped us with everything we needed.

She helped settle Bob into his room, programmed his cable TV, introduced him to other residents and even went over a shopping list of snack foods for us to purchase for him. Marti Hands is hands down the best!!!

The food is good, the servers remember preferences. Nursing staff is kind. It is possible to live in your own apartment and do any activity you care to. There is a workout room with knowledgeable, helpful trainers, classes for water aerobics, yoga and other stuff I don't do. There is a hair salon in addition to the spa. There are sidewalks and wooded hiking trails. There is a croquet court. There is a bank on site. There are dances, musical performances and bus trips to the Flat Rock Playhouse. Everyone should have a retirement this comfortable.

The residents in wheelchairs were all jammed up around the nurses desk. Some were sitting in their room staring blankly at the wall. One elderly gentleman was in a wheelchair up against a wall facing chairs and equipment. They told us they had a contract with the veterans. God bless any of our veterans that end up in that place after all they have done for their country. Shame on them.
