Key Review Excerpts
“GVT is like being on a cruise ship without the sea sickness. Everything you need is right here, dining, entertainment, exercise, games, swimming pool, environmental services and lots of really nice people to associate with.”
“The accommodations are first class, the amenities are many, and the staff is professional and attentive. There are so many opportunities for residents to get involved, socialize, and be entertained.”
“It is very expensive to buy into Grandview’s CLC. My loved one’s entire wealth went into buying into Grand0v’s CLC... what her more than $300,000 (in the first year alone) bought was the experience of being nickel and dimed”
