Copper Springs Retirement Community 

Gilbert, Arizona

We really like Copper Springs Retirement Community. We were set to go soon and then the pandemic came and thank goodness we didn't because we would have been locked up for a year. We have some friends that were living there, and they had a little problem toward the end regarding the food because they keep changing cooks all the time. But it was open dining, which I liked. They have a theater which had enough for 100 people or more and they're all very comfortable. They had shows in there, and on Fridays, they had a party. There was nothing we didn't like. The apartments were big. The only thing I can say bad about it, is that there was nothing outside. No patio and you couldn't go out and sit around. There just wasn't any outside area. With this pandemic thing, everything kind of blew down and it was brand new, so there were a lot of activities. But this friend of mine who was living there, was active enough and there were a lot of things to do. They had a nice exercise room and there was enough for her to be occupied. The food was pretty good. I like the way they did it. They didn't serve a place of food at your table. You had a salad buffet and then you went through a line and you could have a little piece of meat or a big piece of meat or whatever size you wanted, and I kind of like that because sometimes you don't want something that's on your plate. It was two years ago, and my friend complained a little bit about it, but she was fussy. I like the way it was presented, but I don't want to say how good it was because that was two years ago.

I lived there once. A great place. Now at Huntley Springs in Illinois. We had a great experience!

Copper Springs Retirement Community is a friendly place, they're very accommodating, but the main reason was the large room, which is what we're looking for. We will be moving there. They deliver the food to the rooms, so there's no contact, the food is good, but sometimes it isn't, and that's nothing new in any place. They have more activities than others, they keep people pretty busy, and they go out to a places; this was before the virus started

We have been happy to be in the Copper Springs apartments in Gilbert AZ. Thanks to all the great staff who have done their best to keep us safe.
