Crystal View Lodge

We chose Crystal View Lodge because when we toured my mom was immediately taken with the apartment itself. She is in a 1 bedroom apartment and It is a good size, she is very happy with it. I would absolutely recommend to others looking.

Limited attractive regular activities We seem to be reluctant to make changes - co-ordinator does a good job but suggestions usually go unheeded. Food varies. Sometimes good, sometimes awful. Unfortunately it seems that when potential clients come to a meal, that is a a "bad" day. Library, TV room, etc. are comfortable and attractive, as is the atrium. The "competition" has a weekly cocktail hour - it was a toss-up where I came!

This place is very different than most senior residences. Building 20 years old and is a lodge. Contains separate buildings for 2 bedrooms and others. Nursing care is out-sourced on-site. Residences are to purchase their own health care packages . Have a very independent fun, active group, strongly promotes independance. Very open to new activities. Red Seal chef and food looks awesome! NEGATIVE: property does not have much walking area. Park is 2 blocks away. Can only handle independent and assisted living residences. Since this Lodge is older many of the rooms have older furnishings. (cabinets, refrigerators, facets) slowly they are modifying their rooms but are not opposed to the resident to upgrade themselves.
