Oceanview Manor was very clean, the staff there was great and the place is beautiful. For the meals they have a chef, not just a kitchen staff. The administration was very helpful, the place was gorgeous, everything was so nice and I didn't see anything out of place. The staff was great and the building was well-taken care of. I just didn't choose them because you'd have to share a room.

Oceanview Manor was nice, but I didn't really like it. The people looked depressed when we went in there. They're just sitting around and not doing anything. The lady who toured us around was nice, and the director of the facility was nice. It was kind of sterile and it had no homey feeling to it. It was a clean place, but they put all the residents' clothes all in the same washing machine, and that turned me off. There's no parking, too.

I was very impressed with The Waterford on the Bay. The people were engaged. They were doing some memory activity on one floor, and they had a game room on another floor. The food menu was awesome that day. The place was extremely clean, and the dining room was beautiful. The view was really pretty because some of the rooms overlook the water and the boats.

I toured the assisted living section of The Waterford on the Bay. The appearance is not really welcoming when you walk in. On the day that I was there the receptionist was doing a hundred different things and was too preoccupied to help. She left me standing there in the hallway and there was nowhere to sit, so I stood there for awhile and nobody really paid attention. Finally, somebody came and asked me if they could help me and I finally got to tour the place. I wasn't impressed at all about that. But the rooms and facilities were clean and adequately sized. I saw a nice dining area, it was very well lit, and it looked clean. I observed a lot of people sitting around in wheelchairs. When I finally got to speak to somebody, he was pleasant, informative, and I didn't have any problems with him.

The staff at Oceanview Manor was very cordial. However, to me, the place wasn't clean nor kept up. I was a little disappointed with that. I didn't really get a chance to see too much, like I didn't see the cafeteria area where the people eat. The staff was very good. He was very informative and he explained things to me. However, I wasn't too impressed with the room. It seemed to be kept up, but there were two people in it. Everything seemed to be a little dingy because mainly it is right on the water.
