Grasslands Estates seemed like a very nice place to live. I'm just not ready for it yet. The people were friendly and it was very neat, clean, and well taken care of. The biggest drawback for me was there was no kitchen, and I love to cook. They told me that I could go downstairs and make cookies and peppernuts and stuff like that, but I can't do that in front of a bunch of people and expect them not to be bugging me and wanting samples. The staff was very kind. Everyone was very kind and very nice, and the residents seemed nice. They were exercising when I was there. Everyone was friendly. I have no complaints at all except they didn't have a kitchen. They had their exercise program, and they had a fitness room. The rooms were nice and big. They would even be big enough for two people, but there's no kitchen.

I'm living in Grasslands Estates. Right now, because of the virus, when we go to the cafeteria, it has to be one person to a table; where before there were four to a table. They bring the food to the apartment right now. I like that. I don't like that we've had to curtail some of the activities that we had before, but it's understandable why. I also have a backdoor that I can go out and walk the sidewalk around the whole facility, and I like that. I'm putting out flowers and things like that for next year. It is nice.

The Regent is new, well-designed and a fabulous community. The person who assisted me during the tour is very knowledgeable and friendly. I saw the facilities, and the dining area was fantastic, it's very nice. It seemed like they had quite a few activities. I really have no negatives on this place except the cost. I asked if they have room for me.

My mother really likes Grasslands Estates. It's a good facility for her. She is enjoying her life there. She said they could always use a little more staff. The food is OK, but it could be improved some. She has things going on all week, and she's very happy with that. They're taking them all over, and they have a lot of activities internally. Her apartment is very nice and the right size for her.

I talked to a couple of residents at Grasslands Estates and I was very pleased with that. They gave me a lot of information. The rooms were nice, and the place was nice and clean. The restaurant area was great. They have a nice chef and they put on some very good meals. The staff members were very friendly and very knowledgeable about what they had to offer. They have scheduled field trips, entertainment, physical fitness, and games. They have a nice library and a nice pool table, too. Grasslands Estates is very friendly. They offer laundry and they clean your rooms. They have a chapel and a common area, which is nice. The staff who showed me the place was very professional. She knew what was going on and she also had excellent information for us. They're very personable people. Everything was clean and neat.
