I have lived here for 2 years and I love it. My only regret is that I didn't move in sooner. I can now focus on me and the staff takes care of all of my needs - food and meals, activities, snacks, transportation - everything! I wish I would have moved in years ago.

July 8, 2019Thanks so much for this kind review! We're thrilled that you love living here.
My family lives far away and I am able to maintain my independence by living at Helena Place. I didn't want to be a burden to my daughter so this place allows me to live away from them.

July 8, 2019Ann - we're glad that our community can serve as a home away from home, and we're lucky to have you with us. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, it means a lot to us!
I live here and my mother lives in a separate apartment here. We both love it because we can't keep up with the responsibilities of maintaining a house. So we just focus on ourselves, participating in fun activities and living our lives to the fullest.

July 8, 2019Pat - we are so lucky to have both you and your mom with us. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate it.
I love living here because they take such good care of me. Everything I need is provided to me and I don't have to worry about transformation, meals on buying groceries, or house maintenance of even clean or housekeeping. I can just focus on myself and enjoying visits with my family. I love living here.

The staff at Helena Place treat me like a queen. I look forward to getting up every day and seeing what the day has in store for me. I can tell they really care about us residents in the way they act towards us.

July 8, 2019Thanks so much Vivian - this warms our hearts. We're so glad you're with us.
My favorite part of living at Helena Place is all the activities they have to do for us. I attended the Senior Citizen Prom and we had a Trunk or Treat Halloween festival where I was able to hand out candy to the neighborhood children. The October "porch party" was the most fun. I really look forward to everything they have for us to do.

I have lived at Helena Place since 2010 and t is home to me. I feel as if I am living with my family. But I have a private apartment and my privacy when I want it. The staff treats me very well and the food is good. I am very happy here.

The care I receive here at Helena Place really puts me and my family at ease. I am fortunate to live here with such caring nurses and care staff. My favorite part of my day is exercise class in the morning and meal times.
I lived at another senior community here in town but left because I wasn't pleased with the care I received. Here at Helena Place I receive the care and help I need. I'm so glad I made the move.

I really enjoy the amount and variety of activities we have to choose from here at Helena Place. Its nice to know that if I want to do something I can. And if I want to relax, I can.
This is the nicest group of people. I have ever met. The residents and staff are more like my extended family. I have lived here 2 years and have loved the secure feeling I have knowing they are taking care of me and my needs.
[Name removed] the executive director is so kind and always available to answer any questions I have. I really enjoy the food. There is a variety of things to eat and I like nearly all of it.
I love living here at Helena Place. My only regret is that I did not move in sooner. They take care of all of my needs and I don't have to worry about anything. I wished I had moved here sooner, as living by myself in my big house was making me feel overwhelmed.
I really like the personal attention I receive at Helena Place. The managers are always available and the care staff treat me with respect. It's just like living in my own home, but I don't have the burden of maintaining the house or being alone when I need help.
This is a beautiful assisted living community and the staff did a wonderful job showing me around and they answered all my question. Unfortunately, my mother would need a memory care which they do not have. I would recommend you take a tour if you are looking for an assisted living community.
Very good staff! Friendly and helpful. Most of the lunch and dinner meals are not very good. It seems the meat is always over cooked. Over all I would give the facility it very good visiting.
We love that Helena Place is a small community with just over 30 residents. Our 94 year old aunt is very comfortable there. The staff is caring and friendly.
The most impressive part of our visit was the kindness and time the director took with us as we shared our concerns about our loved one. Hopefully, this same kindness is shown to the residents. The common area seemed a little crowded. This facility is closest to us and would allow frequent visits. We would have to have further discussion as we are not sure this would fit our budget.
Excellent care
We loved this nice clean place. There were lots of windows and natural light. Also friendly staff and a nurse on duty. We liked the outside courtyard and scheduled activities. The one bedroom seemed to have plenty of space. This looks like a really nice place.
