Going downhill

I have a parent living there and the quality of life and food and management has gone downhill from when they opened. They will not pay to keep good people, there has been a lot of turnover of management and kitchen help and the food has suffered. Much of the reason to move here is so you do not have to cook for yourself. They remind you you do have to because the quality of food has so fallen to such a pathetic level. Ask a lot of questions as the fees go up every year.

Azalea Estates is 1st Rate in Every Way

As Charter Members, my husband and I found this a perfect place for the transition from home ownership to senior group living. The reduction in personal space was not a problem because of the lovely, spacious, multi-functional community space in this newly constructed facility. A well-equipped kitchen, chapel, library, fitness center, game room and theater are shared. Outdoor activities are encouraged with raised garden beds, a multi-hole putting green, and fenced exercise area for dogs. Also noteworthy is the skilled management, the activity coordinator; housekeepers; bus driver; a gifted maintenance man; and on-site physical, speech and occupational therapists. We are delighted daily by the interesting and accomplished residents who share our new home and excellent meals! To newcomers I offer a cautionary note--you might gain weight. We can't imagine a more pleasing place to live in our senior years. Y'all come!

Azalea Estates in Chapel Hill, NC, is 1st Rate Every Way

--My husband and I find the Azalea Estates Retirement Community a perfect place for the transition from home ownership to senior group living. The lovely, multi-functional community space in this newly constructed facility makes up for the loss of personal space in our home. Common space includes a kitchen, chapel, library, fitness center, game room and theater. Outdoor activities are encouraged with raised garden beds, a multi-hole putting green, and fenced exercise area for dogs. --Of special note are the skilled managers, excellent chefs, kitchen staff and servers. An activity coordinator; housekeepers; bus driver; a gifted maintenance man; and on-site physical therapists contribute to a pleasant independent living experience. To newcomers, I offer a cautionary note--you might gain weight! --We are delighted by the interesting and accomplished folks who share our new home and daily meals. In sum, we can't imagine a more pleasing place than Azalea Estates to live! Y'all come!
