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 had an answer for every question we presented her. Marti was totally professional but also personable! 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!!!

They have dominos, bingo, bridge, exercise, movies with popcorn, etc. They have visiting therapy dogs. They have Bible studies. They have musicians come at least one different one every week. Also they have piano music at lunch time. Apparently, their big meal is lunch.

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.

After finding out we were…read morepregnant with our first child, this expedited our timeline and we needed a reliable realtor we could trust. We soon realized we made the right decision partnering with Darrell; from our first consultation, it was clear he was attention-oriented and detailed in his process. Darrell's advice was comprehensive with no stone left unturned, and we were able to get our house staged and sold within 1.5 months. We then decided to continue our partnership into the buying process, and Darrell continued to go above and beyond through his dedication to closing the deal on our dream home, and by proactively providing us with all the information we needed to make an informed buying decision and finalize the transaction as smoothly as possible. We are so happy to have moved into our new home within 4 months which leaves us with plenty of time to prepare for our new family. With that, I highly recommend Darrell for your real estate endeavors.

As an out-of-state buyer, I relied heavily on his expertise, and he exceeded all expectations. Over the course of a more than a year-long search, he showed me at least 30 properties and went above and beyond by creating detailed video tours of homes when I couldn't be there in person. His deep knowledge of both the local market and construction was invaluable. His extensive experience allowed him to offer expert insights on remodeling options and property improvements that went far beyond what typical realtors could provide. When I finally found the right house, he managed every detail of the purchase process with remarkable attention and professionalism. He often rearranged his schedule to accommodate my last minute viewing requests, and never showed frustration when I was indecisive or picky. He was always calm, kind and focused in stressful situations. His stellar negotiation skills repeatedly led to exactly the outcome I was hoping for. I wholeheartedly recommend Darrell and feel so incredibly lucky that I found him to be my realtor.
