Apple Valley Villa was a little older than some of the other ones that we visited, but it has connected facilities for more medical care than the others. It was almost like a nursing home, or it could be like a nursing home at times if you needed that. It had a good healthcare staff, and the other big plus was it was less expensive than the others that we looked at. The rooms or apartments were adequate although the building itself was an older building. I think the Apple Valley Villa is a little more focused on the medical part of the assisted living than any of the others. They’ve got transportation to some of the local shopping, and they probably all have this, but the Apple Valley Villa has this “I’m OK” check which is a daily thing. It has a deli and a convenience store, and there is a chapel. We have some concerns for my wife’s Parkinson’s disease and what help she might need in the future and also that it is the most affordable.

I've been staying at Apple Valley Villa for five years now. My stay there has been fine. All of the people working there are very good. I have a one-bedroom apartment with a living room, a bathroom, and a bedroom. It has its dining room and lots of activities. They show movies and have various activities people can participate in. We normally go to the theater. It is hard to find a better location. I mean, you are right next to a clinic. They have a rehab place, s, I can almost make it to the clinic from my apartment without going outside. There are a lot of grocery stores and restaurants nearby. Everything is right next to us or either very close to us. It is very handy for couples. If one of them ends up in the rehab, they can go visit anytime they want to without going outside.

I am very happy with my parents' apartment at Apple Valley Villa and the people that work there. I think the food is really very good. They have a swimming pool, and they have like water aerobics classes, then they have movie nights, Bingo, reading circles, and a beautiful library. They have five open computers that are huge, an outdoor living space for dining that sits at least 70 to 80 people, a 25-foot long x 4-foot wide deck for themselves, and a deli and a grocery store that is open. They've got classes that they can take, a chapel that is very lovely, and a hair salon. They have a two-bedroom, two-bath apartment with a kitchen, and they probably have 1100 sq. ft., so it is really way more room than they had and about $800 to $900 less than the last place. I would suggest more guests' parking because they don't have enough guests' parking.

The couple that I took to Apple Valley Villa liked it. It is an older facility, but spacious, and everything looked good. The staff were friendly and informative. I observed bingo, some music playing, some watching movies, and cards.
