I like Citrus Place. It was not too big and not too small. It's just right as far as the general size. It wasn't that far to the dining room from any of the rooms, and there were fewer people that you'll be running into through the day. The number of residents was not too large and not extremely small either. They had some neat-looking activities. When we got there, they had a special exercise class. They were sitting in their wheelchairs, and they were using these plastic bands that stretched. I also saw the balloons left over from when they had been exercising, like hitting the balloons around. It looked interesting. I was very highly impressed with the staff who helped me. We're not going to use it because it doesn't have two-bedroom, two-baths. But there's nothing wrong with that. We didn't taste the food, but I saw the menu. They have a separate breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu, and then they have all-day all the time stuff from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and it looked really good. They gave us some cookies and those were good.

The people at Citrus Place were very nice. It's a big place, and almost like you're in a hotel. It's two stories. You have a little apartment when you're in assisted living. Some rooms are upstairs and they have a balcony, while the ones that are downstairs have a little patio. There's a really good view out the windows. The grounds are nice. They have very long halls, but they said they would accommodate you in a wheelchair. They are really attentive to the residents. A lot of residents kept their doors open, and I saw some of them walking around. They have a dining area, which is really big and nice. The one who gave us the tour was Aurora, and she was very nice. There's a couple that lives there that is 100 years old that just celebrated their wedding anniversary, and I think that it's so neat. They have a lot of activities, entertainment coming in, and things like that. They have a pool, a salon, a podiatrist that comes in, and someone to do manicures and pedicures.

I've toured Citrus Place. It was not as modern nor new as the other one I visited. The apartment themselves were dated and not as nice on the inside, and the courtyard was also not as nice. It was just an older facility and the other facility was newer. The staff was very helpful and very courteous. There's nothing wrong with the place, it was almost the same amount of money per month as the newer place I toured, but it was just 20-plus years older. They had studios, 1-bedrooms, and 2-bedroom units. They had a lot of activities for the people, but they did not have an inside theater. The courtyard was nice and they had a pool, but the pool was not as nice. The staff were very nice people and very professional.

Citrus Place had a good price point and a very good staff. We liked the apartments. They had a pool, a game room, and an exercise area. It was clean and well taken care of.

I went to Citrus Place. I put a deposit down. I love the place. Mom and Dad will move in at the end of the month. I walked in and the people that I saw that lived there all looked nice and neat. There was a group hanging out watching TV. I like the security there. Whoever designed the place, knew what they were doing. It was aesthetically pleasing and very relaxing. The place is spic and span. Right off the bat, I looked, and I thought, 'Yeah, this looks nice.' The staff so far is excellent, and I just like the whole setup. I thought I was lucky to get my parents in. My dad needs the care, and my mom can stay with him, and he'll have the necklace. When he needs something, there's an aide on his aisle, and they'll come and help him. My understanding is that they're very quick and so that's what I'm looking for. My mom needs a break, but they need to be together because my dad would be lost without her. This allows, I think, the best of both worlds. The staff was extremely helpful. I like the setup that they'll be able to get up, get dressed, and go down and have their breakfast, and in that setting, I thought, this would be good for my parents to get up and go down the hall. Another thing I like, my dad is a veteran, and they have a veteran wall of all the veterans that currently live there. And as they passed on, they don't take the pictures down, they raise them above, so they're higher. These guys and women have passed on, but they're still being honored, and I like that.

Citrus Place is an older facility, but it's been updated. I toured the assisted living and the rooms are much more spacious than most of the newer facilities. It's clean too. The staff appears to be knowledgeable and caring and all of those things that you want them to be. Their exterior areas are nice. I was trying to get my son and daughter-in-law down here well before they needed to be, but they weren't coming, so I gave up. They have lots and lots of amenities. I don't remember particularly what but I know they did. It was deep in COVID at the time so many things that they had listed as amenities, they weren't doing and that's not their fault. They had a large living room area and a large dining room. It's a large facility with multiple buildings. They had all the usual activities like bingo and card games. They had some music events and they had trips scheduled. They had religious services too and the same thing everybody has.

The Citrus Place has been very good. My dad is in their assisted living. I've only been there twice but it was very clean and had very nice people. They are very cordial, very helpful, and sweet. I felt good energy from them and the location. To the best of my knowledge, he has tried their activities and he likes them. So far, he has tried things he can get into like bingo.

We went to Citrus Place. It was good. It had the emergency button all the time. It had a step-over bathtub, which was a problem, but it did have a balcony, and a patio, which was nice. This one has a pool, definitely has a really nice setup pool area. When you walk in, you kind of walk right into their bistro, which is kind of different, but it's a cute little bistro, and visitors can meet there with their loved ones. That's kind of nice, and they had a nice sitting area.

We've decided to go with Citrus Place for my mom. We have not moved in, but went to see their assisted living. They were very, very gracious, and very pleasant. They gave us a nice tour, explained how things work, and gave us a brochure. It was a nice visit. They gave us menus, they showed us what the meals looked like, and they offered us a chance to eat. My mother didn't really want to eat that day at that time, it was earlier than we normally eat. They were all just very pleasant, very helpful, and they seemed genuine, really wanting to help.

Citrus Place was really nice. It was so cute. I loved their apartment. There was someone that I went around and toured with and she was the nicest person. I really liked her a lot. The rooms were nice, good-sized, and I liked that they had a balcony in it. I just liked everything they had to offer there. My grandfather is a veteran and I remember that they had a veteran's wall, and I thought that it was really nice for them to have good memories. They provide good care and it made me think that when one of my family will move there, it would be like the right people to be around with. The staff is so good and pleasant. It would be a nice place for my grandparents to live.

I visited Citrus Place. I would rate the rooms and the dining area a generous 3 out of 5. I was not impressed. The room was not spacious, and there was trash in the hallways. I wasn't impressed with the staff as well.

I went to look at Citrus Place before when I was looking for a place for my sister. I liked it. It was very clean. Of course, it was pre-COVID. It was a couple of years ago. We were looking for respite, and they provided respite on a weekly basis. The staff was very nice. We looked at a studio at that time for my sister and it was pretty small. The rooms were nice and clean. We entered where the dining area was and it was set up very homey. There were tablecloths on the dining room tables. It was very nice. At that time, the food was very good. It was really nice. It was a restaurant-type atmosphere where you could order off the menu and they would give you choices. That was nice, too. The staff were very nice and friendly. The facility was very clean, but older.

I liked Welbrook Arlington. It was pretty nice, and what I liked is that even if one of your parents is in assisted living and one in memory care, they could still have meals together. The model room seemed pretty nice. My aunt was sharing a room with another person, I think to help with the cost. I liked the dining area, I liked how the 2 facilities are connected, and everybody was friendly and helpful. It was close to my work. The staff was pretty hands-on. They had a nice outdoor area where you could stroll around, and they even have a pool you could use in the summertime too, so that was pretty cool.

I would recommend Welbrook Arlington over the other places. It's an awesome place, and very nice. The staff was amazing, very caring, and sympathetic. It would have been a really nice place for my mother, and we would have chosen that for her.

I have friends who live in Welbrook Arlington and we visit them often. It's an excellent community, but they had no vacancy except in the nursing portion. I'm very pleased with them, and they're not that much more expensive. Both of my friends have 1-bedroom apartments, and I like them better than the studios. They were excellent. The food is very good, and they have a very classy dining room. You walk in and it's elegant, and that really makes an impression. It's the same feeling when you're dining out, like when you're going to dine at a restaurant. The staff is wonderful and they're very good with my friends. They also have a really good schedule of activities, and they really know how to cater to people. They hire people to come in and perform, so the residents have a lot to do and they can choose a different activity every hour.

Welbrook Arlington is a little old and not very home-like. They have popcorn ceilings and things like that, and it wasn't very inviting. They have a swimming pool, daily trips, Bingo and games, exercise, and so on. I looked at the food and it didn't look as nice as the food in my parents' current community.

Welbrook Arlington was pretty nice. It looked almost like a hotel. It had no smell, and it was very clean. It had very friendly staff who greeted me right away. It offered bingo, arts and crafts, puzzle nights, karaoke nights, and outings that they have to sign up for. The staff was very informative, open, and willing to answer any question. They would provide transportation going to the doctor's appointment. They had a workout room, a PT room, and a cafeteria area.

Welbrook Senior Living Arlington is outstanding. It is a superior facility. I like the way the bathrooms are set up with the showers and the wheelchair accessibility. This facility is top-notch all the way. The people are just sensational. But I cannot afford it. The cost is prohibitive for us at the moment.

The best thing with Welbrook is the staff about; they are very friendly and attentive to my mother’s needs. It’s fairly modern, clean, everything is serviceable and operable. It’s almost like an extended-stay-type hotel room. There accommodations are well-maintained. The building in general and the rooms are very well-maintained as well. The dining setup is very nice. Multiple selections per meals on a daily basis and weekly menu change. They also have the ability to do room service, which is quite nice. They have numerous activities. I am extremely happy with everything, and so is my mother.

What I like about Wellbrook Senior Living is that it has assisted living and memory care in the same building. The food is good, but their dining area needs to be bigger. The place is clean.

I really like Welbrook. The facilities are all new because it is newly remodeled, and they do not have very many residents. It seems very peaceful, and I think it will be good for my mother. She kind of grew with it as they are adding patients in. She has a very lovely large room that we are able to decorate ourselves. We bring her things and decorate it so it is homey. The main rooms are nice also. I think the staff is doing a good job. They are very helpful. The food is good, and she seems to like it. I don't have any issues with the food. I think it looks like pretty nice. The dining area is very nice. She eats with all the other ladies, and it is like eating in the restaurant. They have activities. They play domino and bingo. They can watch TV if they want in the living room area. They usually play games. They can go out in the garden and water it if they want or go on walks out there. What impresses me most is the peacefulness. It seems very quiet and peaceful. They have a code to go in the door so that no one can wander. It is very secure.

My experience at Wellbrook was satisfactory. It was exceptional in one way where the residents were very cohesive and very group-oriented. They have pets, and I like how pets were involved in their therapy. They have yards for their pets and care for their pets, so it was unusual in that sense, but effective. The rooms were spacious. I ate there, and the food was good. It was different everyday. It had varied nutrients. They have field trips, games, and water aerobics. Security was very good too.

Wellbrook Senior Living was our top choice. The facility is open and almost like a hotel environment. Their rooms are the most spacious ones I have seen, and I like their setup the best compared to other facilities. The place seemed clean and nice. The staff answered all my questions, and they also followed up with me.

We have my mother moved into Wellbrook. This was actually a place that my sister knew from a friend of hers, so it was like the first one we happened to drive by and look at. The reason we chose it was my mother because they let her have both her dogs. From the information I got from other places that sent me emails, they only took one small pet, and she had two. The other nice thing really when we went and then saw the apartment was that they had a little sink, a refrigerator, and a microwave. I don't know if the other ones did or not, but she liked the fact that she can have a frozen dinner or something if she doesn't want to go to the dining room. She hasn't been to anything yet; she's only been there a couple of weeks, but they have an art studio, and they take them to the different restaurants and movies. They also have the usual bingo. They do have an option where you can have them manage her medication, her doctor's visits, and everything, but she is managing her medication, so we are not using that service right now. One other thing that is totally different is their point system. The services go by so many points, and that's where the cost is. Whereas I noticed in some of the brochures that other places sent me, there was just a flat fee for these things that they did whether you needed all of those things or not. The staff is nice overall. I think it is a fairly new place, so there are still some training issues that are going on. There have been a couple times when they forgot to take her to dinner, and we were there, but she does have a pendant that is like a medical alert thing, so that she can call them. I don't know if it’s the transition or training thing or what happened that they forgot her, but they are working on that. So they were responsive to our concern.

We first toured Welbrooke without our relative, and we were very impressed by everything that they offered, so we brought her back for a visit. At first, she was reluctant because it is quite an adjustment, but then the staff was so excellent in following through and understanding her hesitancy for the move and eventually, with their help, she made the move, and it has been great. They have so many activities during the day. They have a choice of 3 different dining rooms that have chefs. They have tablecloths and a menu on the table. They can also eat in their room, which is a lovely little apartment with a balcony. She can have her own furniture and decorate it the way she wants it. Pets are included though she didn't have a pet. There is a pool, a spa, a little putting green, a beautiful art room, and a separate craft room. Near the dining room, they had bingo or different exercise classes. The calendar is so full, and there is something for everyone. They were all extremely friendly and welcoming to her. We feel that Welbrook fits what our relative needs, and it is the perfect place for her.

I visited Welbrook, but I was not happy with them. I do not have anything bad to say about them. I just was not as impressed with them as I was with the other places I went to. I do not like the area that it is in. It was nice. They had a little pool that looked like a hotel pool, but they did not have anything that can help those who are handicapped to go in and out of it. It also smelled really bad. The rooms were really nice, and the staff was really nice as well, but it seemed like it was full of people, and it did not seem as personal as the other places.

I liked Wellbrook because it was light, cheerful, and seemed to be well-managed. I have already recommended the facility to some of my friends. I looked at the menu, and they had a varied menu. They have card games, crossword puzzles, and church; they had a variety.

My experience was excellent at Welbrook Senior Living Arlington. They were very receptive, very knowledgeable, and very helpful. My friend lives in a studio apartment and has been there for about three months now. I recommend it highly. It is in a good area and is within walking distance to grocery shopping. They offered all the things that we needed. The staff were very helpful. They listened to what we had to say, and they recommended different options.

Welbrook Senior Living had made a lot of changes. But it was a very affordable middle class facility. The rooms were nice and large. A one bedroom was usually around $2,000.00 with three meals a day, seven days a week; laundry and cleaning service. The facility itself, the building and the set up was pretty good. It was open and bright. It was a nice place. The staff and the residents were very friendly. They had activities. It was a pretty good place to go to.
