The Villager Inn Retirement Center has been such a wonderful experience from the very start. Mindy, the owner, went above and beyond to make the entire sign-up process smooth, stress-free, and welcoming. She answered every question with patience, was incredibly knowledgeable, and truly made my client feel like we were joining a caring community rather than just moving into a facility. You can tell she genuinely cares about the residents and their families. The atmosphere here is warm, friendly, and feels like home. I’m so grateful for Mindy’s kindness and support — it made all the difference. Highly recommend!

First, I’ll say our mother is one of the most difficult people ever to deal with. The staff continues to amaze me with their patience and kindness. The facility is very clean and meals look great. Hats off to owner, Mindy. I don’t know what we’d do without you!!! Thank you

The Villager is a very loving and safe place for anyone who needs help with their basic needs. I know first hand how this locally owned facility gives every resident the love and attention they deserve. It is a "home like" warm environment. And when the State shows up for a surprise inspection, they agree with what I just stated. They receive VERY high marks. Safe and loving!!!!!

I know our caregivers give the best care and love what they do. They all are here for the love of caring for people. Food is home cooked and made with TLC.

(c) Fees: you pay us nothing. If you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee computed as a percentage of your first month's rent and care charges, invoiced to the community after you move in. If you ask, we will tell you the amount of the fee for any community we refer you to.

(d) Services: MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps families find senior living. We gather a short intake about the care needed, suggest communities that appear able to meet those needs, and introduce you to the ones you choose. For you specifically, we will introduce you to Villager Inn Retirement Center and share with it your name, contact details and the care needs you described, nothing more.

(e) We will never ask you to waive any claim for loss of personal property or injury, or any right you have under state or federal law.

(f) We work with both you and the community in the same transaction: the community pays us, and we are introducing you to it.
