Ingleside Independent Living is a place that goes above and beyond when providing a place where seniors can call their home. The staff is very supportive and really care about each resident, always willing to help them maintain their independent.

I don't think I would like It here. The reason ,they have know kitchens and I'm a senior. I prefer a full apartment. I want to cook whenever I want to.

I had lunch at Ingleside Retirement Apartments, and I had a cheesesteak and french fries. The food and the service was outstanding. The Ingleside staff are wonderful and always take great care of the residents.
