It feels like home!

Paul Spring Community is not like any other senior community. As soon as you step in, it has a sense of home. Every staff member is so kind, respectful and professional. The residents seemed so happy and well cared for. I wouldn't look any further for a senior community. I highly suggest in getting a personalized tour, have lunch with a resident and perhaps stay for an activity. They have ample of activities that are available to the community.

Beautiful and easy to navigate!

I toured yesterday and found this community to be so beautiful bright and unique (it’s a renovated school!). It offers independent living and assisted living, and there’s a memory care unit as well. It was nice to see so many residents enjoying their lunches and conversation. I really thought the “vintage” items displayed in the memory care area (inspiritas) were very thoughtful and memory-provoking of simpler times… it was a bright and engaging “neighborhood!” The staff from reception to the caregivers and administration throughout the community were all very helpful when I had questions. The pricing seemed to offer great value for our area, too. Very impressive!

Taste of RUI

I have been extremely impressed with the events I have attended at the community. The food is always delightful and the service is excellent! Taste of RUI is showcased during live cooking demonstrations from countries across the word by the Executive Chef in their RUI University programs. A delightful experience and atmosphere!

Community Tour

Paul Spring Community would probably be a good place for people in memory care who don’t go out much. There was really no place for our loved one to walk. It's an older facility, and the design is kind of odd. I also didn’t particularly like that they had community cats that they let roam around.
