Cambridge Village Senior Living

One year after losing her husband of over 60 years, my 84-year old mother was reluctantly resigned to moving into an independent living facility. She was tired of cooking for herself, tired of keeping-up her house, and tired of handling all the bills (insurance, utilities, mortgage, etc.) without a partner beside her. She was dreading letting go of a home full of treasured possessions, but she recognized that she just couldn't keep up with everything on her own. We visited other facilities, but she was most taken with the newness, brightness, and cheerfulness of Cambridge Village. She has now lived in her one-bedroom apartment for a year and a half, and the change in her demeanor is amazing! She has formed new friendships, started a card club, performed stand-up comedy, coordinated Bridge groups, played Bocci ball, and participated in wonderful parties! She loves the musicians, entertainers, and movies they provide, and she has found the food very good. Most of all, though, she appreciates the people--both the employees and the fellow residents. The transition was much easier than anticipated, and she has hardly missed all that "stuff" she hated to get rid of when she moved. I am so glad she has renewed her commitment to life, and I love seeing her eyes sparkle with joy. Cambridge Village has given her a fresh opportunity to discover her strengths, accept support from others, and feel connected to a community of friends.

Very desireable

Great place for an independent senior. They really made it possible for my Mom to move in quickly.

I was very impressed with my overall experience at Cambridge. What is included in the monthly rent is amazing. I can get more at Cambridge without a buyin than I can get here in Mechanicsville, VA with a hefty buyin. The number of activities is amazing. One can really keep busy. The facility is beautiful and inviting and very well kept. I look forward to another visit and hopefully in due time make my home there.

The staff has been great here and really good with the residents. All the staff knows the residents by there name and that really helps them feel like they are at home. The community has a beautiful pond that has ducks that the residents can enjoy. My loved one also loves the water aerobics that they offer.

We had a short time frame in finding a short term facility for my brother. They had what he needed, a fully furnished, and I mean a fully furnished (right down to spatulas in the drawer) apartment. The pub was also great to make it like a fun neighborhood.

I was very impressed. I really appreciated the friendly nature of the tour without pressure to make any decisions. It looks like a wonderful option for my mom who is independent but would prefer not to live alone. Katie gave us the tour and is like to thank her for making us feel welcome and at ease. She was great!

Our visit to your facility was everything we were looking for. The apartments we looked at were very well designed and very spacious. It felt more like a resort than a retirement home. We still have this in our retirement plans. We are just waiting to decide if this is the right time to sell our home and take that next step.

Couldn't ask for more activities and nicer environment. Would like to test the food quality.

We are researching Retirement Communities for our mother and was very impressed with Cambridge Village. The minute we walked in we enjoyed how warm and friendly the personnel and residents were. It is the right size not so large that you could get lost. The dinning room is bright and cheerful. The apartments were very spacious. Our mother will feel safe and comfortable at Cambridge Village.

Cambridge Village Senior Living is a fantastic place for seniors. They have a lot of activities planned daily, very good nutritious meals and a very helpful staff! I would highly recommend it for seniors whether they have disabilities or not. The residents that are there seem very happy to be there. My mom has lived there for 1 1/2 years and loves it!

My parents have been living at Cambridge Village for 14 months now and are really happy - and we are happy when they are happy!!! Cambridge Village is really beautiful - the buildings, the grounds and the lake and the apartments.... The staff is always friendly and one of the things I appreciate the most is when you make a suggestion or a comment for consideration or improvement, they listen and implement. I really do believe they want the best for their residents and that means a lot. Its been a great experience and it puts my heart at ease to know my Mom and Dad are happy, well taken care of and in a great living environment!

This place is beautiful. The residents all seemed happy and the 2 apartments I saw were very nice. I would feel very confident in having my dad live here. I would live here too!

Very impressed with Katie, the Marketing Director, today on my first visit to Cambridge. Everything was very organized and she was extremely knowledgeable. She wasn't pushy. It was nice that she called the residents by name, as we passed them in the hallways and elevators. It's a beautiful facility.

My first contact with A Place for Mom a year and 1/2 ago resulted in a recondition to visit Cambridge Village at Apex with two others in Raleigh. As I progressed thru almost 20 facilities visits, Apex became a stronger first choice. During that time My family "geogrphy" changed and I decided to wait to see what was "coming out of the ground" in Wilmington. I'm glad I did, because I believe Cambridge Village of Wilmington is going to quickly surface Apex.

My Mom likes her room. She is 91 so she has not been able to get involved in the various activities they offer.

Tour was wonderful with Katie. She was very knowledgeable, and answered all our questions. I love the place. The atmosphere was very inviting. It's a little pricey.

Definitely recommend. The building is new, very clean, and really beautiful. The staff are all very friendly.

I did not know when I moved in to cambrige Village that they did not serve breakfast. That happens to be my favorite meal of the day. I guess they do a continental breakfast but it’s just like pastries and cereal. I am also disappointed in the food. When I moved in here, a lady told me the food was great, but to me, it is not. My mom was a fantastic cook and I guess I base everything on that. Their menu seems limited and they have the same thing for three months and then they change it. And lots of times they are out of vanilla ice cream. I have burning mouth syndrome so I eat a lot of cold things to cool off my tongue. That would be my only complaint and everyone is very nice here, but if food is a big part of a place you choose, I would not recommend this place for that.

The main thing that would make my mother happier is more variety and healthier meals. She also feels like Cambridge is bringing in new residents that are not quite able to be fully independent. Some people get lost in the halls or just sit around staring into space.
