The staff members at this community are just fantastic and our loved one has all the freedom. They have a transportation bus that will take the residents to and from different shopping stores, and there are exercise classes. There are no requirements for our loved one, they can come and go as they please. We wanted a place like that for our loved one but also has staff on site to assist him if he falls or needs something. We would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have currently had,

December 8, 2022Wow!...thanx much Rogers, we do give it all we have, no doubt we slip on occasion but thank you for the raving review
My mom loves it there except the fact her rent went up. The place is always clean. But they don't clean my mom's room once a week like they said they would do. Other than that we love the place. I've recommended it to some of my friends for their parents. Oh and momma Complains about the food. She has made many friends and truly loves it here.

December 8, 2022Thank you for your review and feedback. It is no doubt the housekeeping has been backed up We have recently hired more help and should be back up and taking care of every room on the weekly schedules
While my loved one was living here she really enjoyed it and absolutely loved the staff. Since she has moved out I know that they are under new ownership. My loved one has friends who have moved out because they said that they new ownership has dropped the ball on some things.
The people were pleasant at this community but there was another community that was the best overall. This community did not have a medicaid option and that was needed. Also the environment just seemed less social than what I was looking for for my loved one.

May 20, 2022Thanks for the review good to hear you found a place for your loved one
This community was not quite as good as the main community that I went with. My main choice just stood out too much for me to go with the other.
The main issue is the food. My loved ones don't care for the things they serve. But it's a good place. The staff are friendly. The apartments are cleaned on a set schedule, and the housekeepers are friendly as well. Overall my loved ones like their apartment. It's a little bit dated, but they love the sliding glass door that walks out onto a back patio.

We chose Kamlu Retirement because it is a very homey, smaller facility. The people are so friendly and everybody is really nice. It is very centrally located, not far from the hospital and it just close to everything you need. They have a bus that you can sign up for rides to stores or doctors appointments. The apartment sizes are reasonable for a studio, they do have other options as well on sizes. It is a lovely place and my mom is very happy here. I would recommend to others.

Our family had an in person tour and we have a great experience. We loved the community but unfortunately it was just not what our grandmother was looking for. It did not have the full kitchen in the apartment to where she could cook for herself. We would consider Kamlu later down the road when our loved one needs more assistance and not independence.
I chose Kamlu Retirement because of the affordability. The apartment sizes here depend what side of the building you are on, on the older side the apartments are smaller, but on the newer side the studios are quite large and nice. The best part about the community so far has been the staff members and residents, they are very friendly. I would recommend.

I love this community,Sweet it is.Management is very caring and helpful, at all times.The food is great, as we have 3 meals, actual full on meals, with 3 choices at lunch and dinner with a heart healthy choice at each. This is a smaller, bright and open community.I am blessed to live here. It is a little pricey for my budget, AND....it is truly worth it!

I have been a resident of Kamlu for 5 years. Some advice for a prospective resident. Ask how they deal with disruptive residents. Example, a nieghbor that is loud, theTV,Music,Talking to yourself loudly. An unsanitary resident. Sneezing,coughing without covering mouth and nose. Unwilling to change adult diapers when soiled. Compromise security by blocking the locked doors open. Management that suggest a resident move out because the resident complained to Corporate,Holiday Retirement. The noisy nieghbor is [name removed]. The unsanitary resident was [name removed]. He also would block open doors instead of remember his keys. Earlier this year we had a Noro Virus out break. We were confined to our rooms for almost a week. I had to use a laundromat at my own expense all because we have residents that are unconcerned with the well being of others. Also dog owners that make noise with barking in a confined area it is excruciating and unacceptable.

Our first impression and continued impression is of a community that indeed cares for its residents and has their needs first and foremost. When we first visited Kamlu we were impressed with the facility itself, but even more so with the smiles on the faces of residents and their friendliness. [Removed] was wonderful to work with. Congratulations to you all for a job well done.

The staff have been helpful and the entire staff knew our names before we moved in. They are concerned about the residents. The servers are friendly. The food is too good and they bake the bread and dessert on site. They offer transportation and other nice amenities. We are impressed with the way the community is run. I would recommend this community.

I had taken a tour of this community and had really liked everything I had seen. The staff where very friendly and had a lot of great information to offer me as well as answer any questions I had for them. It was just not the price for my budget but I would recommend it to anyone.

I liked the amenities they offered and it was like being at a resort. We did not choose this community because we felt it was too large and overwhelming.
