St. Anthony's Senior Living

We felt this facility did not offer as much independence as my parents were looking for. It was also higher priced.

My only regret is that I didn't do it last year! It was scary to make the move, but it was the best thing I ever could have done. Not only did I change everything in my life, but I landed in a good place. I like my apartment. It's open and airy, with panoramic windows and a view of the city. What I envisioned for most retirement centers was little box rooms with one window somewhere. This is totally not like that. I have floor-to-ceiling windows, which makes it feel even more open. The people are so nice here. When I get packages, they bring them up to me. Anything I want or need, I can get it taken care of here. I'm really getting spoiled! They have a restaurant that's fabulous. It's a regular restaurant with a full menu and daily specials. I can bring guests in if I want. They serve fried green tomatoes, and the first meal I had here was lamb chops, which were fabulous. They offer a lot of activities. It's a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. It would be nice if it was more in line with what my mortgage payment was, but they offer a lot more services and do a lot more for you. They check on you daily, and I feel safe and very well cared for here.

They're very friendly here, and keep things very clean. They have lots of activities. My favorites are dominos and cards. I've been having my food delivered to my apartment, and sometimes it's messed up. It just doesn't look as good as if you had the plate handed to you in the dining room. It looks small in the containers. But if you're able to go down to the dining room, it's excellent.
