Recent reviews for independent living in Norma

Commonwealth Senior Living at Oak Ridge

4.7
Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. For those who do not drive they have transportation, free of charge to grocery stores, medical appointments ETC. I would recommend Commonwealth at Oak Ridge to others.

The Courtyards at Oak Ridge

4.8
Memory care is tough. So were the bed bugs that came in with the bed from hospice company they recommended. Hellish experience for everyone. Had to throw most everything out- clothes, furniture etc

Canterfield of Oak Ridge

4.1
Canterfield of Oak Ridge is a really nice, and clean environment. The community wasn't designed very well for memory care. There needs to be more structure for this,. This would be a great place for independent living.
