The perfect move for me!
I downsized in [date removed] for 2 basic reasons: I was tired of maintaining my townhome and I was tired of cooking my meals. Verena has satisfied both of those needs beautifully. The icing on the cake now is that I am living closer to my daughter!

My Next Chapter
Verena and it's residents and staff are like family. We care for each other, enjoy the company during good times and bad. There is always something to if you wish to participate or just come to dine. We have a nice variety on our menus and it changes daily. We have an ever changing entertainment on Fridays, so that different tastes in music are met. As I tell friends, this is where God wanted me and I made an excellent choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Verena at The Reserve

Verena at The Reserve offers 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.
A Place for Mom has scored Verena at The Reserve 9.9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
