THE LODGE AT ARBOR VILLAGE

We recently moved into Arbor Village. My husband is in assisted living and I am in independent living. We are very happy with the level of care and concern exhibited by all of the staff. We are also quite happy with the rooms-and facility in general. Arbor Village is a beautiful place, inside and out. The dining rooms have an excellent choice of meals. Overall, this has been an excellent move for us.

Moving an extremely independent 90 year old into assisted living is never going to be easy but with the expert help of Arbor Village, we made it happen. After touring three assisted living properties in the Kent/Covington area, Arbor Village stood out for meeting our check listed items. 1) 24/7 nurses available; 2) some transportation provided; 3) front desk manned; 4) nutritious meals; 5) attention given to residents. My mom moved from a senior apartment building with no services, where she was invisible to management to Arbor Village where she is respected, cared for and the staff know her name. She is encouraged to participate in activities, which there are many each week and the daily schedule is posted all around the facility. The nursing staff is top notch and have cared well for my mom and her complicated medical needs. The facility director, Jennifer, has been extremely helpful. Their chef walks through the dining area during service and specifically checks on the residents and know their likes and dislikes. She ordered various kinds of tea and made them available to my mom. The desire of our family was to have our mom-mother-in-law-grandma-great grandma well taken care of and showered with love for the rest of her life. Arbor Village has proven to be a great partner in our quest to make that happen.

Our family visited several senior/assisted living homes searching for a place our mom could call home. Mom joined the Arbor Village family 1 year ago. The entire staff have provided her and her family with kindness and caring friendship on a daily basis.The staff are like family now. They helped her with this huge adjustment and making new friends. They welcomed her and her family as their own. Arbor Village staff have gone above this 5 star rating and our family is very thankful.

Really nice!!I love this community! It is bright and cheerful. I love the continuing care idea.... You can start out in the Independent living building, The Inn. If your loved one needs more care, they can simply move next door to the Assisted Living Building, or Memory Care. The Independent living residents are as busy as they want to be. The monthly calendar is filled with shopping trips, scenic drives, live musicians, lunches out, exercise, and games like Wii bowling, Domino's, Bingo, Bean Bag Baseball, Crossword puzzles, Trivia, music hours, and more! The Assisted Living building has the most caring staff! The nurses are knowledgeable and quick to help if I need anything. There is a lot to keep the residents busy here, too. The Memory Care building has a staff that genuinely cares for its residents. Each 'neighborhood' in the Memory Care is different. They have really used some creative juices when it comes to giving the residents things to do. One neighborhood has an armoire that is filled with frilly clothes that the ladies can dress up in..... cute purses, boas, etc. I love it! In the first photo below, the residents went to the botanical garden in Kent. The second photo is a shot of the residents playing a game in the Theatre Room .... Nice turn out! The third photo shows a lively game of billiards.

Arbor Village is truly an active living community. Each building is kept fresh and clean but they all have a sense of home. They staff is warm and knowledgeable. Friendly and welcoming residents are all around. Everyone is very supportive and smiling. Love the outings and family events. Arbor Village is a place that helps you to get back to being family.
