My Grandpa has been here for a few years. He really enjoys it. They do a lot of activities and bring in some cool people/animals. Residents are nice. Seem to be a lot of staff turnover but all the ones we have interacted with are very nice and caring.

My cousin recently moved here. The entire process was so stressful for the family. We only want what is best for her. After touring a number of places, we knew we found the place after meeting Brenda the director. She really made us feel at peace with the move. The entire family finally feels like we can relax. Thank you!

Our mother has been at Apple Valley for 16 months. They have great activities for the residents and a caring staff. I do think they are understaffed for the growing community, and the rent has gone up substantially twice already in 16 months. We have voiced concerns to upper management but they fall on deaf ears.

Apple Valley is the best retirement community in Clear Lake. We are looking forward to having our father stay here in the new year and enjoying the caring staff, the great food three times a day, and the large suite rooms. It has all the comforts of home and more. A big recognition for Blake Dodd. It takes an inspirational and energized leader to make a sensational team!
