Friendly place

Friendly place feels like being in a pleasant community. A caring facility, many activities you can be as busy as you want to be. I never feel lonely. Everyone gets to be a friend. The apartments are quiet, clean, spacious windows in all the rooms with wooded surroundings. Food is plenty with choices of menus.

Very nice place

I have enjoyed living at West Shores. The residents and staff have been very pleasant. I enjoy the many activities throughout the month. There is always something to get involved in. The garden here makes me feel at home and the area out front makes for opportunities to talk with residents in a nice space. My only concerns are the lack of provisions for people with special dietary needs (Ex. low sodium) and I have had some confusions with getting my medications.

Great place to live!

I always tell visitors if you can't live at home you need to move to West Shores. I have lived here almost 10 years and have become a resident ambassador. I love our Veterans group and all the residents we have in our community.

A great retirement home

The facilities are great, the staff efficient and friendly and the food usually good. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. We visited several facilities before choosing West Shores and we have never regretted our choice. From the beginning it has truly been our home.

Wounderful Place!

I have toured this community, and it is beautiful. I really liked the garden and the activities that were going on. The dining room was very nice with tons to offer. When I came, I watched the residents decorate sugar cookies and loved how involved everyone was. I would recommend West Shores to anyone not just for the amenities but for the fun activities I witnessed.

Resident 9 years

If you cant live at home this is where you should be. My wife and I moved here on [date removed] she needed assisted care. The DON at the time helped a lot to get on long term insurance and assisted living accomplished. All of the employees are really good and have not seen anyone even act like they dont want to help when you ask them to do something.

My husband was cared for...

My husband was so very well cared for and I checked other places and was and am most impressed with the care provided here as well as the friendliness of the staff and residents. I love that it is a pet friendly community.

West Shores review

Everything was excellent, the only problem is an occasional miscommunication. Based on the experience we have had so far, we have already recommend West Shores to other families.

A person who loves to dance

West Shores is great! Would I recommend anyone else to live here? Absolutely! It doesn't take much to make a person like me happy. All I need is good friends, good wine, and good music. West Shores offers all of that and more.
