My parents lived at Ruby Commons. They made friends, enjoyed activities and wonderful meals. My siblings and I knew it was home to them!

Thank you Linda, Sales Coordinator, and Jason, Executive Director, at Ruby Commons for making us feel welcomed to the community and we’re not even residents - yet! Linda NEVER gave the impression she was rushing or pressuring us into making a decision! Quite the opposite; she wanted to be sure she had answered all questions, pointed things out as well as giving suggestions. Jason’s up-beat personality is such that one can be put in a better mood!<br>From the moment I opened the door and entered Ruby Commons, I felt…WE ARE HOME!

I lived here for 4 years! Lovely community, great staff including management. I enjoy all the outings Ruby Commons offer. I enjoy being able to volunteer and being a resident ambassador. I love the new windows that were also just installed. Company was FANATSTIC!

I just wanted to say that I will be here at Ruby Commons going on six years as an independent senior and am very satisfied with their services. I love playing sheepshead and Jason, our director, likes to play with us. I also play rumicube and other card games and love the people here. At the resident meetings we are well informed on many projects. One that was just completed was the installation of all the new windows and I haven't heard a single complaint about them. I really am glad I made the decision to move here.

I have lived here for almost one year.<br>I have enjoyed every minute. The place is clean and very welcoming. The residents and staff are friendly and helpful. The meals are very good. There are a variety of activities. Church services, on site hair dresser and trips on the van to the grocery store are especially appealing.
