Key Review Excerpts
“My parents just moved here from their hometown of over 50 years, and the transition has been even better than we had hoped. Some of the things that have made the move a success are the kind and professional employees... the beautiful atmosphere, and the delicious food.”
“My mother was a The Inn at University Village for over a year until her passing. She was very happy living here and really enjoyed the beautiful setting and the caring staff. As a family, we found the staff, from the top administrator on down, to be incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions or issues we might have.”
“My mom has been at the Inn for almost 2 years and absolutely loves it. My sister and I love it because she’s happy and the staff is incredible. From walking in the door and speaking with the receptionists to the healthcare team, everyone is very nice, accommodating, always smiling, so patient with the residents and genuinely seem to care and enjoy their jobs.”
