I toured Pinegate. It was a very nice and professional tour, and the place is clean and well-kept. The manager is very nice, very knowledgeable of the facility and even the residents. They had small apartments, but they had variety, and I saw a 1-bedroom and a 2-bedroom. They had a nice cafeteria, and on the menu a variety of food, and they had a spot where they can cook, because they didn't have kitchens in the rooms. They had a place to play cards and different activities, a place to hang out with visitors if they wanted, and it seemed very nice.

Pinegate looks gorgeous, it was beautiful. The person who gave the tour was very nice and helpful. The dining area was looking good, everything there just looked really well-prepared and nice. She took me to the activity but I didn't see anyone in there. The facilities were nice. I would definitely recommend Pinegate.

Pinegate was great. The environment looked really good, the facilities seemed up-to-date, and the entrance looked good. They had a lot of good assistance from the salesperson and the desk person. The people were in a pretty good mood. They gave us an opportunity to have my mom stay there for a little while to see if she would like it. They have music, they plant things outside, play games, and do puzzles. The people seemed pretty active. However, the alert system that goes around their neck wasn't working. They need to ensure those things work prior to giving it to the occupant. My wife and I enjoyed the food there.

When my parents moved in, it was great. But then the turn over began. The food is awful. Sandwiches all the time at dinner. Stories from residence of being left at sites for hours after they have called for a pick up. This happens daily. New managers come in and like all corporate managers, talk a good game. Nothing happens or no budget to back them. The elevator has not had repairs or certifications since 2017. Failed, foggy windows in multiple windows. Multiple people move in and within a month, move out. If you decide to try and eat, the food is tasteless. It takes forever to get. The servers are young, so most likely under paid. They constantly late, overworked, also cleaning the facility. They are nice and caring to people who live there. That is one great thing. The people do care. They will check on you. It is HOT in the building all the time. The residence have two sets of washers and dryers to do their own clothes.

We visited the Gables at wolf Creek, and they have very nice floor plans. They have book clubs, exercise classes, lunch dates, and they host a calendar of activities for every lifestyle. They do not serve lunch, but you can have it brought in, and they only have duplexes. It was larger, and had a really large neighborhood to walk in.
