Colonial House Senior Independent Living

This is the best place to go where you want to make new friends eat the best food and have the most fun. I've been volunteering here for years and the director is the most nicest person ever. The kitchen manager cooks the most best food you could ever eat. There has been so many new ladies here that I've met that's been so nice to all the other residents and there's a house cat that is so sweet and loving to all the ladies. This is the place to go if you want really good food. There's a activity room where they play games and it's very clean here. All the employees are nice to everyone and have fun doing their job.

My mother was at Colonial House for 9 1/2 years! When asked if she liked it there her answer was “yes, I love it!” The staff cooked all her meals, cleaned her room and changed her linens weekly. What’s not to love when you get to that time in your life when you just don’t want to do those things anymore? The kitchen makes it a point to know each individuals likes and dislikes. The food is very good, plentiful and shared together around a dining room table. Mom really enjoyed sitting on the enclosed patio with all her “girlfriends” in warm weather.

Being there leaves you feeling as if you are a guest in someone's home as opposed to visiting a facility. The residents interact with one another and the staff as if they are all family. Anyone seeking warmth, love and safety should give the Colonial House a closer look.

Colonial House has a beautiful atmosphere, very homely and comfortable. The staff are so accommodating, polite and helpful. This is a unique independent living facility. I can honestly say, the meals are catered for everyone’s taste. The rooms are clean and spacious!

My mom lived at Colonial House for almost 10 years. It didn't take long before she settled in and loved it. CH only houses 18 residents, so everyone gets to know each other and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. Years ago mom became the activities director getting the "girls" out to play dominos and other fun things, and in recent years held an exercise class twice a week. The manager is conscientious in scheduling musical entertainment and other activities, including community projects. The kitchen staff are terrific and very hard-working. They genuinely care about each resident and make it a point to know their likes and dislikes, interests, etc. The kitchen manager makes sure that the residents receive nutritious, balanced meals and they are delicious. CH is more like a family
