I noticed that Brightview Crofton Riverwalk was very open. The lobby was very welcoming, very open, and had a lot of seating. It just looked like a very nice hotel setting. The staff was extremely nice. I did go there at maybe 4:00, so it was a little bit busy, maybe for the people. Mark, whom I met there, showed me the whole place where we could engage if we had a family gathering or something. He showed me the calendar for their activities, where they would meet for lunch or dinner. We need a tour of the building. It was very nice. That one was very nice. The rooms were open. The tables were not very close together, which I think was good for anybody with a walker or a wheelchair. I noticed that the seating arrangement was very open, which made it accommodating for wheelchairs or people with walkers, so they were less maneuvering in between. It was high on my list. I felt that it was a very warm and comforting place for my mom because I saw that the residents were very engaged with each other and they were engaged with the staff, very friendly with each other. And when we walked around, I saw that the gentleman spoke to everyone walking, and they all knew his name, which made me comfortable because that means that they already have good communication with everybody there. Because if all the residents know who he is, that means that he's talked to everybody at least once or twice for them to know who he is.

We have chosen Brightview Crofton Riverwalk for my mom. It just had everything that we were looking for. It's brand new and extremely clean. The facility, amenities, and the ratio of residents to staff, everything worked like we wanted to. They have many places to go to sit in and engage with other people, both indoors and outdoors. They have an actual movie theater and an actual library. We haven't eaten there, but they don't use the service. They actually have a chef and they prepare all the meals on the grounds in the restaurant. The facility was spotless. They have a lot of activities. They go take them out. They leave the facility I think twice a week or once a week. They have an arts and crafts center there, cooking demonstrations, and a pub. There's a lot for them to do.
