Salemtowne Retirement Community

I have just moved to Salemtowne and everything is as I expected.
We've had friends at Salemtowne for years so we knew what to expect. After my wife Kate died, I decided to make the move and I've been thankful ever since. Soon as I get fully unpacked, I will relax and take full benefit of everything that's available. 5 stars.

I have lived in an apartment at Salemtowne since late 2016. I love it here. There is plenty going on to choose from. Every week day there are multiple exercise classes for any fitness level. And every day of the week the pool and exercise/fitness room are available.
Every week there are multiple choices of activities including artistic, intellectual, spiritual, and social. And occasionally there are out-of-town and/or overnight trips.
As for food, the dining at Salemtowne is terrific. The main dining room has a rotating menu that changes twice each year. There are always 1 or 2 soups, 2 salads, 2 entrees, 4 sides, and 1 or more deserts to choose from. Additionally, there is an always available menu which includes entrees, sandwiches, entree salads, and sides. Plus, sometime in February of 2020 our new Bistro will open!
There is much talk about "aging in place". With all these things going for it, plus the different levels of living (Independent, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing), Salemtowne is the place I want to age in!

My wife unexpectedly needed inpatient rehab care after recent back surgery at Baptist Hospital. After learning that Salemtowne's rehab center was an option for her, we were carefully and efficiently guided through the process to get her there and it was the best case we could have imagined (or not imagined!) to get her on the road to recovery. She was a patient there for 10 days and everyone in the facility treated us like they would treat a member of their own families. The administrative and nursing staff members were top notch and the therapy team was better than we could have thought possible. The facilities are state-of-the-art, thoughtfully designed and made the time there as comfortable as possible. The quality of the food was excellent and the choices were plentiful. The best part? Our 8-year-old yellow lab, Penny, was able to spend a majority of time in the room with her. The therapeutic benefit of this alone made Salemtowne stand out to us and all who visited us there. Her time at Salemtowne has undoubtedly set her up for the best possible long term outcome post-surgery. We would recommend Salemtowne to anyone and are so lucky to have such a wonderful center right here in our hometown.

This is indeed a very, very nice retirement community!! I have several friends who live here and they have expressed to me that they feel safe living at Salemtowne. They enjoy the activities, the food, the religious services, and the socialization among each other. In addition, they love the landscaping as well as the cleanliness of the facilities. There is a wonderful young lady, Constance, who works at Salemtowne, and the residents truly love and appreciate her. She is so attentive, compassionate, patient, courteous, and she certainly LOVES the residents. I am very glad that I had the opportunity to meet her, and this young lady is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!! Thank you, Constance, for everything you do to bring so many smiles and words of encouragement to my friends and the other residents at Salemtowne.
