My mother and her sister each had an apartment at Colonial Inn and they loved it! The staff and the residents are friendly, helpful and kind. They have passed on now, but I have fond memories of spending time with them there. I highly recommend this as a wonderful place for seniors who need a little help with meals and cleaning, as well as an active social environment.

I love living in The Colonial Inn

My husband, Richard, and I moved into The Colonial Inn 2019 having moved from California to be near family members. Richard was suffering from dementia. We were warmly welcomed by staff and residents alike. With so many activities, fantastic meals, and housekeeping services, we couldn’t ask for a better place to be. We made friends with many of the residents, for which I am so grateful. Richard passed away. I was comforted by my family’s support as well as that of my Colonial Inn friends. Thank you Laryssa and all of the other staff members for your wonderful care and attention to us.

More than a home.

Six years ago, I was faced with the task of finding a place for my mom and dad. I had spent the day shopping around looking for their new home. After my tour at the Colonial Inn, speaking with staff and seeing the residents going throughout their day, I knew I had found the perfect place for mom and dad. Fast forward to today. It has been the best situation for my parents. They are busy from daily activities, resident trips and all the new friends they have met. The great tasting meals options are great, and the free transportation has been very helpful. Not to mention the staff - the staff is everything. They are very personable, engaging and like “family”, which I believe comes from the community, is locally owned and operated, with no corporate boards here. Make sure you stop by and see why the Colonial Inn was the perfect place for mom and dad!

Dear Colonial inn
I want to write this letter to tell you how much we appreciate The Colonial Inn.

I have become full-time caregiver for my 998-year-old mother and have been so impressed with the management and staff. They have been so accommodating and easy to communicate with. It has been much easier to care for mom when everyone is so nice to deal with. The other residents are very nice as well, and it's like one big family. The other residents are always reminding us that they are here to help us with mom if we need them.
They offer many activities for residents. There are exercise classes, crafts, bingo, numerous card games going on all the time and much more.
There is also a very nice church here in the activities room. Pastor Dan and wife Cheri are awesome, and I go with mom to the Saturday morning service. Mom has been here for six years.

The service people in the dining room are so good to all the residents. It's a great feeling to see them talk and interact with the residents in a very compassionate way. Mom only takes advantage of the lunch, and she always has good things to say about the food. She looks forward to eating in the dining room every day with her friends.

Thank you
Les

Sheila R - family

My mom, Sylvia Halldorson has lived at Colonial Inn for the past 16 years. She is 100 and the oldest resident. She was independent until about 4 months ago when she had a stroke. Now she has caregivers but still lives there. I can’t say enough great things about her living at the Colonial Inn. She was always active and did practically everything on the monthly calendar including bingo, bridge, going on all the site seeing outings, black jack, driving and then taking their driver to appointments, entertainment, art activities and many more. I would and my 3 sisters would highly recommend Colonial Inn. Their manager Laryssa, the front desk people, the housekeepers, the cooks, the hairdresser and the homey and friendly atmosphere and coziness is outstanding.
