About Villa Serena Retirement Community

from Oasis Senior Advisors

Villa Serena Retirement Community offers Independent Living with an emphasis on practical medical support. Residents who use oxygen, follow special diets, manage diabetes with oral medication, or are under 60 years old can all be accommodated. The community can also serve individuals with mild dementia conditions. On-site medical services include routine medication management and scheduled visits from a podiatrist, reducing the need for outside appointments and helping residents maintain consistent care.

Around-the-clock staffing and security are in place. Background-checked team members are on site 24 hours a day, with an awake night shift and Personal Emergency Response System alerts that signal staff immediately. The community is fenced at the rear, and security personnel monitor the grounds. An activity director organizes daily programming. Assistance with activities of daily living is available: staff can provide some physical help with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while eating support is offered on a standby basis. Transfer assistance ranges from simple standby supervision to one-person transfers using a walker or wheelchair.

Residences may feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnishings, individual temperature controls, cable service, and the option to repaint or redecorate, though not every unit includes every feature. Housekeeping services are provided for Independent Living residents, keeping spaces clean without the need for outside help.

Dining operates on an on-order basis, allowing residents to choose their meals at each sitting. Snacks are available throughout the day, and kitchen staff can modify menus to meet physician-ordered diet plans, including diabetic and other special diets. Independent Living occupants can opt into a monthly meal plan that bundles their dining costs into predictable payments.

Shared amenities include resident parking, designated outdoor smoking areas, and full wheelchair accessibility. A barber/beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, and wellness center are located on site, as are internet access points and communal gardens for informal gatherings. Religious services are available within the community. Scheduled transportation is provided, and the campus is close to public transit options. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.

Residents and their families say:

This community offers a mix of positive experiences for its residents, highlighting its affordability, beautiful outdoor areas including a pond and fountain, and the quality of meals provided. The presence of experienced staff, some of whom have been with the community for decades, adds to the appeal by ensuring continuity and familiarity for residents. The variety of chefs and the option for a la carte dining also stand out as particularly positive aspects, with many residents expressing satisfaction with the food, even if one reviewer found it good but not fabulous. The community's activities, including daily engagements and the provision of transportation for errands and appointments, contribute to a full and engaging resident experience. The facilities receive praise for their maintenance and cleanliness, and the inclusion of emergency response amenities like an emergency necklace adds a layer of safety and comfort for both residents and their families.

However, there are a few consistent criticisms that surface, including the layout and aging infrastructure of the buildings, which some found to be less modern and visually appealing. The size of some apartments, particularly one-bedroom units, and the dining room's distance from certain living quarters were points of concern for a few reviewers. Additionally, the navigational challenges within the community, such as long walks and narrow hallways, were highlighted by several as areas that could deter potential residents, especially those with mobility issues. Despite these drawbacks, the community's strengths in providing a caring and well-maintained environment with ample activities, dining options, and a pet-friendly policy seem to outweigh the negatives for many residents and their families.
