Ascension Living

I find it very compatible for my needs.

Best place to retire to. Lots of activities and great food.

I have lived here for 6.5 years and I enjoy being here. The workers are very friendly and are always there to help you with any problems. They address you by your name and are very kind. The facility is always very clean and well maintained.

Damn happy to be here- I have made some wonderful friends- although the bldg. is 31 years old - it is very nice and they work very hard to keep making us happy.

They have lots to get involved with. Great library, great gym. Good singing group and lots of bingo to keep things interesting and good food and nice people neighbors and staff.

We (my husband and I) rated this community "Great," because it has everything we need and special people who take care of us. This is our family.

A welcoming community. Nice apartments. Plenty of amenities. Good food. Dining.

My wife and I have lived in Alexian Village for nearly a year. We have a two bedroom independent living apartment which looks out on a park-like garden setting. Daily we eat in the dining room where we select delicious food from a restaurant-like menu and are served in settings with friends. Diverse programs and friendly neighbors maintain our interests and enrich our lives. The reason we chose to live at Alexian Village, having visited six other life-care communities, was the ability of the representatives we worked with here to listen to our needs and to develop a plan with us to meet them. Because of the emphasis by the sales team to address our expectations, our time here has not only been satisfactory, but has exceeded our expectations.

On our tour we felt the place is very organized! Lg dining area, entrance security 24/7, 2 meals incl daily (breakfast & lunch), nice cozy deli, lots of open area with walking path, beautiful large one bedroom, home care nurses on-site if prescribed by physician and PT/OT. And dog-friendly!

The facility was very nice, clean and looked in great shape. The halls were wide and the facility has two elevators one being large for wheelchair or people using walkers. A bistro area was available for those wanting alternative meal choices and the dining room was nice with windows. The biggest plus was a chapel on the second floor where they have services and rosary. The nursing home section was also a step up from the other facilities

My mother was there until the day she passed (for 1 1/2 years). She LOVED it! great staff, very clean and good care.

I was impressed from the first moment I stepped inside the door. The tour that [Name removed] provided further added to my positive view. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, clean and lends no sense of "retirement" home feeling. The apartments are nice and the free laundry rooms on each floor are an added plus. I got the chance to speak with some current residents who gave rave reviews, unsolicited. On site personal care companies/services were also a huge plus, if needed. The dining room was lovely and the green house and outside space provide for a nice get away... on site. Reserved parking spot also a bonus! If money wasn't a consideration, I would have signed on the dotted line immediately. Unfortunately, being a private pay site, my parent's funds would run out in about 7 years' time. Having said that, this is not an overpriced facility for what you get... especially when comparing others. It is simply our reality of minimal assets. I would recommend this lovely "Casa" to anyone.

I wanted to take a moment to highly recommend [name removed] and the folks at Casa San Carlo. As much as it ended up that my grandmother had to go into long-term nursing care to receive 24-hour attention, Casa San Carlo was not only the place where she wanted to be more than anything, but [name removed] help, kindness, and personal interest in meeting with my grandmother to see what we could do was above and beyond the call. Again, if it weren't for my grandmother's situation changing, she would be at Casa San Carlo not just for what the facility has to offer, but for the clear, sincere care that people like [name removed] have for their residents.

Perfect, close to my house, within my price range for a 2br. Large rooms, perfect space for mom. Next step is to get her out here to see it. I think she will love it. Plus they have a Month of March move in special.

We selected Villa Christi on McLean. It was a great choice. Nice comfortable rooms, helpful friendly staff. Food was outstanding. Overall the best choice for our needs

I visited Alexian Bros on Monday Jan 15. It's an older facility but has been updated. It has an extension for nursing home care. It's all inclusive; many different views of wooded areas. Studio apt is $3445. Month to month rent; will not kick out when money runs out. To apply, mom must have 2 years of finances to qualify, approx $123,000. That is only possible IF she can get VA benefits. Extras are phone and laundry.

Via Christi is awesome. It's a faith-based environment for my mother and the staff is very kind. They're so helpful, and they really care about the residents. Right when we walked in, my mother said "This is where I want to live," and when she moved in, they paired her with a buddy. Her transition went very smoothly as a result. The food is wonderful there, and they have so many activities including outings, bingo, church, puzzles, and games. My mother is even helping the staff decorate Christmas trees within the community. I feel that we picked the best place for her. It's perfect.

When we walked in this community we got such a good vibe and knew this was the right place for mom. They are very proactive about stuff and always communicates with me for any changes with her. The caregivers are beautiful and helpful. The food is great and it is always clean and tidy everywhere. The staff tries to engage her with the activities she goes to church and she's played bingo and done some crafts. I would recommend this community.

When I was looking at communities, having a mass service was really important to me. With Casa San Carlo, they have a mass every single day! The staff bends over backward continuously to make sure my stay is better. In the mornings, the person who does the rounds makes sure you're up and moving around. If something happens, they’re there for you right away. Everyone is just so friendly and personable here. When it comes to the food, it’s really good. There are so many choices to cater to everyone needs and it’s restaurant style with a menu. I really like all of the activities they offer as well. The have scrabble, poker, and bingo. I love this community and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

My mother recently moved to Casa after my dad passed. I couldn’t be happier with her over all experience at Casa. The entire staff are kind, helpful and welcoming. I feel she is in great hands and safe there. The overall value is great .
