Cambridge Village Senior Living

This place is beautiful. The residents all seemed happy and the 2 apartments I saw were very nice. I would feel very confident in having my dad live here. I would live here too!

Very impressed with Katie, the Marketing Director, today on my first visit to Cambridge. Everything was very organized and she was extremely knowledgeable. She wasn't pushy. It was nice that she called the residents by name, as we passed them in the hallways and elevators. It's a beautiful facility.

My first contact with A Place for Mom a year and 1/2 ago resulted in a recondition to visit Cambridge Village at Apex with two others in Raleigh. As I progressed thru almost 20 facilities visits, Apex became a stronger first choice. During that time My family "geogrphy" changed and I decided to wait to see what was "coming out of the ground" in Wilmington. I'm glad I did, because I believe Cambridge Village of Wilmington is going to quickly surface Apex.

My Mom likes her room. She is 91 so she has not been able to get involved in the various activities they offer.

Tour was wonderful with Katie. She was very knowledgeable, and answered all our questions. I love the place. The atmosphere was very inviting. It's a little pricey.

What we like the most about The Cambrdige at Brier Creek community is how friendly everyone is. Also the gym is excellent and the meals that are served are good. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

There are a variety of activities/ hair cut service/ massage are all good things The dining experience/food variety and options are not the best. Making reservations for dinner is something mom doesn't like. Also, more help for new residents as they try to navigate the new living situation. More help to get them involved- although this is my moms perspective not sure how much or little was done aside from an ambassador meeting up with her a few times.

Overall Cambridge Village of Apex is the best independent living community I have seen. The food is better than any place we have seen. But it needs more variety. The menu does not change often enough, and the servings are small. The food allowance does not cover a normal month's worth of food. Because of Covid, a lot of activities are curtailed. And social events are really at a minimum. We thought there would be more entertainment (things like concerts) offered, but there is almost none. Visually, the place is extremely pleasant. It smells good. It sounds good. It is a joy to walk through. The staff, by and large, are all pleasant. It is a costly community, so be prepared for additional charges that are unexpected. A yearly amount of thousands of dollars is being charged in 2023, besides the annual rent increase, which came as a shock and a surprise. I'm not happy about that. Overall, I would give them a thumbs up for living in this lovely community.

It's a lovely facility, a little pricey.

I'm happy where I am right now, but I do think the cost is too much for what we're getting. They're adding on a [price removed] one-time fee at your 1 year mark, in addition to you having to give two months rent up front before moving in, and you do not get it back. There are people who have taken the fee to court, but have lost because the manager gets whatever he wants. A lot of people have moved because of it and I think that the extra fee is ridiculous. It makes a terrible position for those of us who are already living tight. The community has their cliques like every place else, but they're friendly and the food is good. Activities and entertainment are good as well and there are a lot of things to do like musical guest, [name removed], who was just here. They also have a harpist who comes in sometimes on Sundays to play, she's very good. As far as my apartment, I do think it's a bit too small for the money we pay. I have a very small kitchen with limited space to prepare meals - which is another complaint I have. I do, however, love the first floor apartment and the fact that I can open my door and step right outside.

This was a really nice community and it was a very desirable place to live. It was just too far away for where we wanted our loved one to be. The tour was good and we got to see everything and got all the info we needed about the community.

It is a good opportunity, provided the right circumstances. However, the pandemic has thrown a wrench into the activities and other parts of the community.

Very nice facility, tons of amenities. Costs appear in line until you start breaking everything down and then you find hidden costs that quickly skyrocket if you need any assistance at all. If your 100% healthy then this is the place to be.

We looked at a few different communities and even though this one might be a little more expensive after reviewing what they offered there was no question of placing my mother here. She loves living here she finds the residents to be very friendly she has already made friends and she didn't initially think she would. They offer all day dining which was important to her she loves the food. The staff is wonderful very nice and kind extremely easy to work with. We would recommend them.

My mother is well here in this community.

This is a new fantastic looking community. They offer a theater and a workout wing. The staff were very nice to us. This community just did not seem to be as supportive of dad's needs. I would recommend this community for more independent residents.

During our tour I had noticed that the staff at this location did a great job at keeping there facility very clean and well maintained for all of the residents. They had an open floor plan that I liked with lots of natural light throughout the building. I was impressed to see the activity list they had available to all of the residents and the menu they put together meal times.

It seemed like a place with that was commercial like and was larger and not as personable to me. Our tour guide, he was very friendly. There was no problems with the place itself. With all the programs they were showing us it was a good place. However the distance and size of community was not the right community for us.

The facility is beautiful but the charges for transportation to see your own doctors is overpriced. There are other fees not associated with regular day to day life that can add up to an extremely high cash balance owed to the facility

Really liked the appearance (both outside and inside) of Cambridge. The location is quite nice, Residents were pleasant and seemed happy. The atmosphere inside the facility was most enjoyable. Light and airy hallways and liked the pool and exercise equipment. We think it is a place where we would be comfortable and happy,
