What Our Residents Say

group of seniors enjoying coffee
"This is the perfect place for my 95-year-old mom. She enjoys daily exercise class, chair volleyball, making crafts, and happy hour with entertainers. Just recently had fun at a groundhog horse racing day and going to check out their Super Bowl Squares with mom."
Debbie McG.
Daughter of Resident
"I think this is a very nice place. It offers all kinds of activities, and the food is freshly made. The staff helps with self-care, and there are laundry facilities with same-day return. You can have food delivered to you, eat in the dining room, or cook your own meal. There are many outings throughout the year, and every holiday is celebrated."
Judith M.
Resident
"The people I’m working with to get my aunt settled at Discovery Village have been wonderful to work with. I have been in and out of the location several times on short notice and without an appointment, and there was always someone to help, answer my questions, and show me around. A big thank you to Ellen, Karen, and Kim."
