Highlands at Wildwood Lake

Reviews of senior living communities highlight a range of experiences and amenities. One review praises the Highlands at Wildwood Lake for its large, bright apartments, easy elevator access, and underground parking, noting the property manager's helpfulness, especially regarding accessibility concerns. However, some areas were under renovation, including the fitness room and common areas.

Another review expresses disappointment with the availability of one-bedroom units and critiques the value for money, suggesting a disconnect between the staff's stated care for residents and their actions. Conversely, the environment at another community is described as very comfortable.

Clement Manor's independent living facility received mixed feedback, with some residents satisfied with their care but others turned off by the small, dark lounge and lack of in-apartment amenities like dishwashers and washers/dryers. Despite this, the staff's responsiveness and the community's religious services were positively noted.

Other reviews discuss the layout and size of communities, with one person choosing a different community for their father due to concerns about long hallways. The cleanliness, staff knowledge, and amenities such as libraries and movie theaters are praised in several communities, though the horseshoe layout of apartments in one was seen as a downside.

Highlands receives further commendation for its cooperative staff and cleanliness, though it lacks a meal plan for its independent living community. The sense of safety, good care, and cleanliness are recurring themes in positive reviews. Activities like farmers markets and clubs for socializing are highlighted, along with the personal touch of staff knowing residents by name.

Preferences for self-contained communities and newer, smoke-free, and pet-free environments are expressed, alongside appreciation for inclusive utilities and the option to move within a network of communities. The importance of independent living features, such as doing one's own meals and participating in community activities, is underscored by a resident's positive experience.

Lastly, a sister community, Highland, is loved for allowing pets, though it restricts them to one per resident.
