Meals get served restaurant-style, and there's a dietician who watches out for special diets or health needs, and staff helps with things like bathing, hygiene, dressing, and moving around for those who need it, and for people who can't get around by themselves, staff provides regular assistance. The place looks clean on the inside, with a neat entrance and reception, and there are garden paths and outdoor sitting areas so residents can go out safely and get some fresh air, though there are also reports from families about poor cleanliness, unfriendly staff, and food that some found inedible, mentioning that staff are at times slow to check on residents. Golden Living accepts Medicaid and Medicare, offers parking and transportation (including rides to off-site appointments), and has support services like housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, and family support.

Golden Living is part of a much larger network of facilities that offer many kinds of care for seniors, and while some families appreciate the personalized plans, comfortable rooms, and busy activity calendar, others have voiced concerns, so experiences can differ from person to person, and it's always a good idea to see the place in person and ask questions before making a choice.
