Great People, Great Neighborhood
reviewed on: 05/22/2020 by Evelyn DolvenI 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.

An Informal Classy Place
reviewed on: 09/07/2017 by EvelynWe had the experience of visiting a number of retirement centers and staying at 3, and when we visited Grand Lake Gardens we know this one for for us. We needed to be in a place where we could walk or take public transportation to do our errands. We can walk to 2 grocery stores, post office, hair salon, barber shop, etc. Our medical offices are a10 minute bus ride away. We found fellow residents friendly and happy from the first day we visited. Being new, we've sat at dinner most evenings with new people. Folks are really relaxed and informal. The staff members are capable and accessible. All parts of the place are cared for; even the stairways -- which we use in addition to the busy elevators -- are newly painted and well lighted. The top floor dining room is a gem.
Large Buy In
reviewed on: 01/14/2014 by SonReally, really nice, but you have to effectively do a $65,000-$100,000 buy in in the beginning. Their selling point is that they will never kick you out, ever, no matter how far you decline. You will never have to worry about going any place again. I liked it but it was cost prohibitive, plus too far from my house.
