Key Review Excerpts

Our mother has been at Apple Valley for 16 months. They have great activities for the residents and a caring staff. I do think they are understaffed for the growing community, and the rent has gone up substantially twice already in 16 months.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★

The staff are some of the most wonderful, caring, compassionate, and fun people I've met! Apartments are all kept in good working order, with any issues being addressed on a timely basis.
