What families are saying about independent living in Sandy

Recent reviews for independent living in Sandy

The Bungalows at Jonesboro

4.6
The Bungalows is very clean and caring assisted living facility. They provide good meals and plenty of activities for their residents. They'll take the residents to the movies, out to eat and shopping. The rooms are large with patios. The staff is friendly and watchful.

Dunlap Village Apartments in Brighton, TN

5.0
There's nothing wrong with Dunlap, everything was fine, not according to my mom but she's not in her right mind and I went there all the time. It is an older facility but for the price, three meals a day and for 24 hour care you can't beat that.

South Wind Heights in Jonesboro, AR

4.0
I would recommend Holiday South Wind to other families based on the experience I have had so far. I enjoy the atmosphere of the community the most.
