I had a tour of this lovely place this afternoon. Executive Director, Jaime is so very pleasant and positive. The facility is wonderfully clean, roomy, and tastefully decorated. I saw happy faces among people who live in these apartments as well as the staff I saw and spoke with. This is definitely a place everyone should consider when looking for senior living spaces. The amenities sound amazing! Restaurant style dining where you can order from a menu for every meal! Where else can you get that? Therapy services are on site. The enclosed courtyard is beautiful. Apartments fairly newly remodeled. They are an adequate size and well lit with natural light. I’m not looking to move right now, but I think I would look forward to moving there. Right now, a family member is looking, and this is definitely a good option. I’m hoping it works out.

The Villas of St. James is a wonderful place for my grandma! She has loved all of the nurses and managers there. They are constantly having events and activities to do with their families. My personal favorite is the Monthly Themed Family Dinners! Recently, we painted canvas bags and enjoyed some music. All of these activities help keep them young and having fun! The people at the villas really love my grandma and I couldn’t be more thankful for such amazing people to help take care of her. ❤️ My grandma does have to limit her salt intake, so when reviewing the menu for the week, she makes note of which meals she can and can’t have. When the meals are too salty or too tough to eat for her, she can order something else to eat. I appreciate the flexibility of the kitchen to help her with eating healthy foods too for her and her health.
