My mother loves it here! Nice and quiet retirement neighborhood!
A word to the wise - If you have a family member in poor health going through cancer treatments, go straight for assisted living instead of independent. My Mom was still ambulatory and independent after 2 years of treatment so we opted for independent living. Once her condition started deteriorating a year later (several falls at home which independent living can do nothing about except call EMS) we tried to get her moved to assisted living and they refused us. We ended up paying their private duty contractor 3 times as much to have 24/7 care in independent living until she passed away. It’s a lovely community you just need to be realistic about the future needs of your loved one.
Two months ago, we moved my dad into Cape Albeon. He had been home alone for nearly 2 years because of Covid so he was pretty lonely and not eating much. Since he's been there, he has many new friends, participates in activities and has gained some much needed weight due to their great food. It's the best thing that's happened to him in years! We are pleased with the staff and his apartment is lovely. He's 93 and has started a new chapter in his life!!!
I have now lived at Cape Albeon for 6 weeks. Many of my friends have come to visit and almost without exception, they comment how relaxed and happy I look. That is because I AM. I am surrounded by trees and lakes and employees and residents (all of which and of whom are helpful, interesting and entertaining on many levels). The smaller "population" of Cape Albeon feels more like a family than just a group of people living in similar spaces. We have enough activities and outings to entertain us without being overwhelmed. Our primary dining room is lovely and our food is good, offering a good variety of choices. We are neither overfed or underfed. The cost of living in this lovely community is reasonable . I chose to get involved quickly so I could meet people and enjoy life. IT IS WORKING!!
Whoever has the family member in room 338 might want to call and check on her since the staff could care less.
