Beverly Bligdon

I always thought that living in a retirement home is the last thing I wanted to do – so I stayed in my house as long as I could. Today I know better – my only regret is that I did not come sooner to Golden Pond.

The folks at Golden Pond are really doing a terrific job of providing for all residents.

My wife and I lived here for 6 years, before Edna passed on. This is a most wonderful place to live if you are older and need someone to look after all your shortcomings. Golden Pond enables them to live life again, while feeling safe and secure.

I've been a resident at Golden Pond for 16 years now. The owners and employees are loving and family-oriented. I find the care given is good, to understanding that even if all you need is a hug, it's there for you. Being out of town a ways, we see some wildlife here.

My mom likes GP because of the quiet and homey feel. She feels very comfortable living there. The people there take excellent care of her. If she is having a crisis they are there for her and supporting her in her needs. I would recommend GP because of the care and the country charm that GP has. My mother-in-law was also there and unfortunately she needed more medical help but the people there wen ... Read more

ROYAL HEIGHTS INC.

I have lived at Royal Heights for the past three years. This is the best decision I have ever made. There are so many things to do; they have a wonderful group of volunteer ladies who organize social events throughout the year. Bingo, Luncheon Outings, Pot Luck Dinners, and monthly Birthday Celebrations, to name a few. You can swim in the beautiful saltwater pool, play darts, play pool, and work out. There is a beautiful theatre running movies every Saturday. I have even found a wonderful hairdresser (not far to go). The staff are wonderful and always there for you. If you are thinking of downsizing, please consider Royal Heights. Believe me, you will not be disappointed.

This is a very friendly building. I moved here after I lost my husband and gained so many new friends. There are many activities. I personally enjoy the pool. There is darts, bingo, potluck suppers, and dances. The lounge is beautiful. There are puzzles to do and a library. This is a great place to be. The staff is amazing. you will not be disappointed.

Katie Anderson

Have lived here for 3 years. Great place to live by yourself but have company if you want it, and activities to participate in if you like. The staff are very helpful. It's well situated centrally, close to stores and park areas and the hospital.

Jean Wilson

My parents moved [here] from their longtime home recently ... [They] are enjoying their new accommodations and are meeting new friends already. They have joined in on some of the many social activities offered and the amenities this beautiful building offers.

Henrietta B.

I am enjoying my apartment very much and the amenities are great. Looking forward to the restaurant/cafe coming and... The salt water pool is lovely. Being centrally located is a big plus and I feel very fortunate to live in such a lovely place.
