Key Review Excerpts
“The food, the fellowship, the environment, the staff, and the overall upkeep of the Chateau is excellent. It is hard to suggest anything to improve the environment at the Chateau.”
“I'm convinced that the Chateau will extend my lifespan by many years. There is so much community support; daily exercise classes to rebuild my strength; clean food available to cater to my restricted diet; and a feeling of safety that erases all anxiety.”
“The most important thing to know is that The Chateau is a RESIDENT OWNED RETIREMENT COMMUNITY. Everyone owns their own condo, should you sell your condo and it has appreciated, which is the usual situation, you get that appreciation.”
