This property is amazing. For the residents, it's like being on a cruise ship! There are many activities, friendly and focused staff, great food. There is a real sense of community, and it's just well managed. When we come to visit we always stay at the king suite: so much better than any hotel, cost effective and convenient. My folks really enjoy living there. I highly recommend the property; both as a great place to stay when visiting relatives or a retirement residence.

My mom was one of the originals to move into Huntley Springs in 2019. Ever since she has lived there, my family have not had to worry about her care or wellbeing. They have an activities director that is always planning fun and eventful activities. Always something to do whether it is a card game, Wii bowling, or singers and entertainment in the theater they have. The food is top notch with a great chef and staff that make fresh soups, desserts and main courses to please anyone. I know I look forward to visiting so I can eat the great food they serve. The atmosphere is great with an amazing dining area, gaming area, theater, work out room, physical therapy room on site and a beautician. The management of Dwayne and Lisa is exceptional. Always there when needed at any time of the day or night and very helpful to the residents and the families to ensure their loved ones are top priority.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this retirement community. From the moment we walk through the doors, we were welcomed with warmth, kindness and genuine compassion. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure every resident feels respected, valued, and cared for like family. Dwayne and Colleen is amazing and treats everyone like a family. Looking forward to working with the team😊

My mother has been a resident at Huntley springs for almost 3 years, and I’d like to say how great the facility is in relation to activities, classes, the movie theater and the bus that takes residents to appointments. The staff are super helpful, understanding of the aging population and will go over and above to help a resident solve issues that come up. Thank you to Dwayne and Lisa especially, and the great chef who made a really excellent meal for the May birthday crowd.<br>Tom Riggs

My aunt moved into Huntley Springs a couple months ago and absolutely loves it! The staff are always helpful, friendly, and know her by name. They really treat the residents like family. After her recent surgery, the kindness and extra support she received was outstanding. I definitely recommend Huntley Springs. They truly care about people and go above and beyond!
