a wonderful first month here

Today is the one month anniversary of joining Walden Place Senior Living. I chose Walden Place because they welcomed my cat, Helen of Toy, and I knew a resident who was happy here, and my tour of the residence impressed me. I needed a place to live that had a community to share meals and meet friends. I joined in on craft and art activities, exercise group, Bingo and Scrabble, and live music performances. I've gone on bus outings to coffee shops, ice cream parlor, and grocery stores. I feel safe, welcomed and loved. I get to have an event to advertise my book, Choosing Dance Over Despair. I hope other seniors find a home to become my neighbors.

Great location

Great location, prices a bit lower relative to other facilities, they've been helpful. Food menu could be a bit more creative, but is fine.

Our family's experience

They did increase his rent by $[removed] this year which was HUGE jump for living off social security i tried to fight it but couldn't so had to adjust things to make it work was rather disappointed. A lil increase like 40-50 is more manageable than $[removed]!!! It's kinda hard on some as I can only do what Dad tells me like the food. He is picky but he doesn't really like the food about 50% of the time for lunch and dinner so he is eating out a lot more as they don't have things like he likes like fried chicken, onion rings more what I call meat and potatoes and he likes it at first when he moves in but they have changed ownership and chefs a couple times since then As far as the rest I like the new remodel looks clean etc but I would say anything is perfect so that's why I didn't put 5

Great fit for my Dad!

My Dad has been there about three months and he has loved it! He is very picky on food and I was very worried about that but he has really liked the meals! He loves having people to talk to as well and there is always activities so it keeps him more active. They have a workout facility which is equipped well for him to use. They also just remodeled it all and it looks FANTASTIC! Great place to live for him this far and staff has been great.

Review for Holiday Walden Place

I am very active outside of Walden with friends, family & activities. But I am confident that over time I will feel more a part of this community. Yes, I would recommend Walden Place. The location, size, renovations, living & community space, staff, & opportunities to participate are all excellent. I'm glad to be here.

Just what I needed

I came directly from a rehab facility but still needed some extra help. That is very available here! All the staff are great and friendly. They often go the extra mile. I feel very safe, we are well fed and comfortable. There are plenty of interesting and fun activities to do as you wish. I admire staff being able to deal with many different personalities.

Love this place

I’m so grateful for the community of staff and residents at Walden Place. My puppy and I visit every day. My mom is so happy and loves going to meals, visiting the hair salon, participating in Bible study, Communion, and a multitude of special events and activities! The staff go above and beyond to listen and attend to any questions or concerns or just chat! We’re so happy she’s happy!

Wasn't told the truth about what the apartment had. The sidewalk patio was really cracked. The cement on the driveway is very poor. Food is very mediocre. Housekeeping not up to par. All windows were extremely dirty when we moved in. Need more variety in activites. Expect more for the price.
