What a wonderful experience myself and family have had here, lets start with the decor of the building, which is truly phenomenal and so clean and truly vibrant. Upon entering this building you can feel the love and artmannship that the staff and residents take pride in every day. This community is all about nurturing and good quality care and it shows. The residents seem happy well cared for and just peaceful every time I return here. The staff "ALWAYS" show how much dedication that they surround these residents with, from arts and crafts, cooking projects, gardening, fun activities and well thought out fieldtrips for our elders. I love it and I recommend this community to anyone who wants attention, love, respect and extrordinary care for their mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, husbands, wives and etc....

Clarendale West End is truly such a special place and you really do feel it from the minute you walk in. Miss Jo Ann who runs the welcome desk is so genuinely lovely and you can tell how much she cares about each person that comes through the door. She remembers names and details each time we visit and has such a warmth to her that is contagious. We’ve brought my young son each time we visit and all the staff love on him, remember him and make him feel so at home. Clarendale feels like an actual high end hotel vs a retirement community and the residents are so friendly you can tell they love it here as they all rave about the food, activities and environment. This place is particularly special and you can tell the staff really care beyond it being a job or paycheck, they care for the residents and love them well. Well done ya’ll—you have a special place here and we are so grateful for how you make this place a real home!

I attended the West End Scholars marketing event at Clarendale and had a wonderful experience. The community is beautiful, the event was very well organized, and the entire staff was welcoming, friendly, and professional from the moment I arrived. The front desk made a great first impression by greeting everyone with a smile and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Their hospitality and attention to detail made the event enjoyable, and it was clear they genuinely care about both their residents and guests. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I truly enjoyed attending the event at Clarendale West End.

Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they do! You can tell the staff truly cares about the residents. What stood out most was how happy and engaged the residents were. The whole community has a warm, positive vibe, and it’s obvious there’s a great culture there. The place was spectacularly clean and felt like a classy boutique hotel for seniors. Whoever is leading this place is doing an excellent job building a team that makes people feel cared for and at home. Definitely a beautiful community with amazing people! - 🧱

Truly the embodiment of southern hospitality! Not only is the building beautiful, but the staff takes pride in building a strong community with residents. We recently took a tour, and were blown away. This is a level of community that is incredibly rare these days.

We were able to partner with Clarendale West End for a Senior Men’s Golf Clinic at McCabe Golf Course and had a blast! The residents were so engaged and the staff were so friendly. We look forward to doing more clinics and partnering with CWE in the future!

I normally do not write reviews, BUT: I’ve had the pleasure of performing as a jazz saxophonist at Clarendale West End for two private events- an art gallery reception and an NY Italian-themed 80th birthday celebration for a Memory Care resident. Both experiences were exceptional and unlike anything I’d ever expect in a senior living community! From the moment I walked through the doors, I was welcomed with genuine hospitality. Jo Ann at the welcome desk always greets me with a warm smile and makes me feel like part of the family every time I visit. The entire team is friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. What impressed me most was seeing how engaged and joyful the residents were. They were singing, dancing, laughing, and truly enjoying the experience. It didn’t feel like a typical senior living community. It felt like a vibrant place where people genuinely enjoy life. The events themselves were beautifully executed, and Life Enrichment Dir. Molly Stone deserves a huge shoutout for pulling them off so flawlessly. Every detail looked intentional and simply awesome!! I also have to recognize Chef Drew and Chef Cody Castiglia. The food was absolutely outstanding. As someone who performs at venues all over the world, I can honestly say I wasn’t expecting restaurant-quality cuisine at a senior living community, but they completely exceeded my expectations. I had the best meatballs ever. Chef’s kiss! I’m grateful to have been part of these special celebrations and look forward to performing there again. I would highly recommend this community to anyone looking for a place where people are truly cared for. It’s a very classy place, full of warmth and genuine kindness. I’ll be visiting with my parents soon!
