    Safe clean grounds but bland

    I live here and appreciate the safety, cleanliness, great food, family involvement and beautifully maintained, tranquil grounds (they did a nice job converting a farm). It's overall positive, but I find it a bit bland and cookie-cutter with empty lawns and little personality.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment from the reviews is positive, with repeated emphasis on safety, cleanliness, maintenance, and a tranquil, attractive setting. Multiple reviewers describe Fieldstone Village as a beautiful place that was developed from a farm, highlighting the pleasant area and overall neat presentation. Cleanliness and good upkeep are consistent themes, and the property is frequently characterized as well maintained and quiet. The dining experience is singled out positively with comments about great food, and reviewers note active family involvement and generally express a very positive overall impression.

    Facilities and grounds receive strong praise for appearance and upkeep. Descriptions such as "beautiful place," "took over a farm," and "well maintained" convey that the physical plant and landscaping present well and that the community benefits from a rural or pastoral setting. The tranquility and nice area are repeated motifs, suggesting the community appeals to those seeking a calm environment. At the same time, reviewers also note that some outdoor areas feel empty ("empty lawns"), which, while not framed as a safety or cleanliness issue, indicates underused open space or a lack of activity in exterior common areas.

    While service and clinical care are not described in detail in these summaries, the mention of "family involvement" and "very positive overall" suggests residents and families are generally satisfied with interactions and engagement. However, there is no specific feedback about staff responsiveness, medical care, or day-to-day caregiving quality in these summaries, so those dimensions remain unknown based on the provided comments.

    The primary criticisms center on atmosphere and aesthetic character. Multiple reviewers use terms like "dull," "bland," "cookie-cutter," and "no personality," indicating a perception that the community lacks distinctive character or vibrancy. This criticism is separate from cleanliness or maintenance; rather than being neglected, the property is seen as sterile or generic despite being attractive and tidy. The references to empty lawns reinforce a theme of underutilization of space and a quieter, perhaps less socially active, feeling in outdoor areas.

    In synthesis, Fieldstone Village appears to be a well-kept, safe, and tranquil community with strong points in facility upkeep and dining, and with positive engagement from families. The main areas of concern expressed by reviewers relate to the community's atmosphere and sense of personality: attractive but somewhat generic and not lively, with exterior spaces that feel empty. Reviews do not provide detailed information about staff performance or clinical care, so those aspects cannot be evaluated from the provided summaries.

If you need help, there are on-site registered nurses, ambulation services, incontinence care, help with getting in and out of bed, spoon-feeding, and regular health checkups, with panic buttons and a 24-hour security system set up for everyone's safety, and fall prevention measures give extra peace of mind.

    Fieldstone Village handles different levels of care, providing both independent and assisted living units, so if you're living on your own and just looking for home upkeep, landscaping, or maintenance, those are included too, and laundry and linen services plus full housekeeping take chores off the list for residents, with all utilities paid. For anyone with more care needs, there's assisted living with medication assistance, health checks, and help managing daily activities like bathing or eating, and if you have Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, Fieldstone Village has memory care services with staff that's specially trained for these cases, along with programs meant to help memory and support well-being. Seniors needing short-term help can use respite care services, which lets primary caregivers take some time off while professionals look after their loved one, and the place welcomes families and visitors, running family support and counseling programs if needed.

    Getting around's easier with transport services that'll bring you to appointments or outings, and there's a concierge service to answer questions or help with errands, plus a private dining room for meals, a pureed menu for special dietary needs, and always some snacks at hand.

Besides caring support, you'll find special touches like massage therapy, group educational activities, community gathering rooms, and free transportation. Moving aid is available if changing rooms or moving in's a worry, and the lawns and gardens stay trimmed thanks to regular landscaping.

    The community offers extra business services for residents and outside vendors, including an online payment portal for EIPP and B2B payments, job info sheet optimization, lien and notice management tools, electronic notary, and waiver management, all set up for compliance and good record-keeping. There's a waiver exchange portal for anyone who needs it, plus family members and vendors can use a supplier function and see real-time reports on jobs or payments. While some notice the design of homes leans toward the standard side, it's always quiet and safe-the staff and other residents have a reputation for being friendly, and the grounds are peaceful, making Fieldstone Village a steady, practical choice for those wanting a well-kept place to live out retirement with reliable services and simple comfort.
