Croasdaile Village

Moving to Croasdaile Village over seven years ago was the right move for my husband and myself. The hardest part of the journey was waiting for our cottage to be ready for us to move in. It is a safe environment for me to walk in in the early morning hours before the sun is up. The wide variety of opportunities to engage in activities does mean in the end you have to choose. There are only so many hours in a day! While we do not need to depend on it often, we have been grateful for the transportation to medical appointments the times it was necessary. Our children are now comfortable with our declaration that they di not need to disrupt their lives if one of us has a medical issue that requires one or more nights the hospital. This was a goal of ours when we chose to move to Croasdaile Village. Not being medical professionals, we knew we needed a solution that would work with the family spread across the country.

Croasdaile Village is truly a village where the residents and staff care for one another. There are so many choices of activities that you have to choose - for body, mind and spirit. The grounds are beautiful. Walking around the lake is like being in an animated Disney movie because of the diversity of flora and fauna. The library is well stocked.

Everything promised at the time of entry has been provided. It’s a good place to live as we age. I’m 85.

The residents and staff are very friendly and helpful. The campus was lovely until they clearcut several large areas to build new park homes and cottages to add 100 residents. We have a refurbished cottage which we enjoy except for the low end washing machine (makes a terrible racket) and B+ finish trim work. Be prepared to upgrade items such as wire closet shelving, fireplace, bookcases, etc. The food is generally very good but it would be nice if we had more table service. The dining room carpet and chairs need refurbishment. Physical therapy is excellent. Despite these concerns we are happy to be at Croasdaile Village.

I have been living here for more than five years and have never experienced a moment of regret. The administrators and staff are all highly capable, efficient, and incredibly kind. The residents are varied and involved. It's just a comfortable place to live.
