Grand Lake Gardens

I am writing this review as we are being severely limited by Covid19 restrictions. But I began this before the abrupt change. My husband and I have lived here for 3 years. We chose it after visiting 6 other places. Our first impression was of a residence with a lot going on and with residents out and about. The hallways weren't empty; residents were reading or visiting in the lounge or at activities. Since that first impression we have experienced many of the choices. We have out little garden plot. There is a spacious courtyard; we've come to know most residents because dinner dining protocol is to sit where there is space at a table. There is quite a span of different backgrounds from all parts of the country . And we spend time with others because there is a rich assortment of classes and programs. GLG is situated in a neighborhood that allows walking safely to a large variety of services and stores. And bus transportation is excellent from here. Now that we are very restricted, the qualities of staff are particularly evident. Without exception staff members are capable, friendly, kind and very much in evidence when we need something. The activities director has arranged Zoom activities of all sorts; meals are delivered to apartments hot (or cold) on time. The security at the front desk is thorough. We are kept informed about what's going on RE the restrictions. If asked, I couldn't think of a single negative. Only there is no space at all for a swimming pool.
