My mom was really struggling with living alone and was no longer able to drive. We visited many places before deciding on The Clairmont. I cannot say enough about how much her life has changed for the better since moving in. She really enjoys meals and the varied and interesting activities. Diane, the activities director and all the staff are friendly and loving. They keep the place clean and bright. The family always feels welcome. The price was very reasonable given all that is included. We are all so happy she made this move.

I want to add my appreciation for JERRY and his wife, two of the managers. They go the extra mile to provide superior service to their clients, and do so consistently. If the current downturn in food quality continues I may have to pull a star, but for years the food has been excellent. This place is old, but the outdoor areas are very nice.

My parents moved in several months ago and have been pleased. The Clairmont offers many activities for the residents to participate in. The facility itself is clean and a housekeeping staff cleans each apartment weekly. The management team is on site and seems to work around the clock to ensure the residents are well taken care of. While we have been impressed with all of the managers, Jerry is outstanding! I would highly recommend this retirement community.

This is an independent living retirement community for folks on a budget. For a decent price, you get a pretty large apartment and two meals a day, plus housekeeping service and transportation. The building is older and not fancy, but the courtyards are beautiful and green and they seem to be more flexible than most communities about things like pets and smoking. A relative of mine lived here for about a year, and the management changed a couple of times during that period. Some managers were better than others. It’s owned by someone out of town, but the managers live on site. The housekeeping was average and needed oversight at my relative’s apartment, at least. The food is standard southern fare, decent but nothing spectacular. For most apartments, it’s a long walk to the dining room, but a lot of folks with difficulty walking distances ride scooters. If residents need assistance, there is an outside agency that they can hire for an extra charge, or families can provide their own assistance through another means. The residents and staff are friendly, and the place offers a variety of activities such as clubs, games, and church/Bible studies. They have a jukebox playing pretty much constantly in the main area that the residents enjoy. Overall, a fairly laid-back place with some nice folks.
