Highly Recommended

They are understaffed at Azalea Estates Gracious Retirement Living and it takes too long to sit for a meal. But the food is good. Like anything, there are some good meals and some not so great, but I like the variety. Most of the staff are really good, but there are a couple not so good. They really make an effort to help. We had no issues moving in. On the whole, I would highly recommend this facility to others.

Going downhill

I have a parent living there and the quality of life and food and management has gone downhill from when they opened. They will not pay to keep good people, there has been a lot of turnover of management and kitchen help and the food has suffered. Much of the reason to move here is so you do not have to cook for yourself. They remind you you do have to because the quality of food has so fallen to such a pathetic level. Ask a lot of questions as the fees go up every year.

Happy with our choice

What sticks out most about Azalea Estates is the great atmosphere, the residents seem very affluent and friendly. The value for the money is exceptional. My mom has been socializing and occupied and very happy there.

Azalea Estates is 1st Rate in Every Way

As Charter Members, my husband and I found this a perfect place for the transition from home ownership to senior group living. The reduction in personal space was not a problem because of the lovely, spacious, multi-functional community space in this newly constructed facility. A well-equipped kitchen, chapel, library, fitness center, game room and theater are shared. Outdoor activities are encouraged with raised garden beds, a multi-hole putting green, and fenced exercise area for dogs. Also noteworthy is the skilled management, the activity coordinator; housekeepers; bus driver; a gifted maintenance man; and on-site physical, speech and occupational therapists. We are delighted daily by the interesting and accomplished residents who share our new home and excellent meals! To newcomers I offer a cautionary note--you might gain weight. We can't imagine a more pleasing place to live in our senior years. Y'all come!
