My dad moved into Holiday Mallard Point. I like the community inclusion part. Everybody seemed happy. When we revisit, all the other residents are very happy and active in the activities that are planned. The staff was wonderful. The food was great, which is a key thing. So to have three well-balanced meals included was wonderful. The staff members are very helpful, bubbly, happy, and friendly. They need a freight elevator. It was kind of difficult to get things in that were larger than what the passenger elevator was, and that's the only issue that I had. Every day, there's a ton of activity. My dad has been kind of a recluse for the last few years, and he's getting involved. He's going to some of the activities, like a tailgate party he participated in. It's bringing him out of his shell, so there are activities all the time.

Holiday Mallard Point is an older and smaller facility. It was very well kept up and clean. Everything was painted and looked very nice. They had a microwave and a small refrigerator. I felt welcomed. They were having some kind of afternoon party, and they invited me to stay. They had strawberry shortcake, which was excellent, and quite a few of the people that lived there were there. The chef came out and served it. He was a nice and personable young man. Everybody was so friendly and welcoming. The staff who assisted me was a very outgoing gentleman. He was very enthusiastic about the facility. You automatically get three meals a day included in your rent.

Mallard Point is the best kept secret for independent senior living in the Cedar Falls-Waterloo area. While touring the retirement community with our loved one, she immediately said Mallard Point was the place for her. It was a great sense of relief for her and our family knowing she is in a safe, secure environment surrounded by friendly, kind, and compassionate retirees. The entire Mallard Point team consisting of administration, recreation, maintenance, transportation, food service, and housekeeping has been personal, professional, and top-notch. Knowing our loved one has three balanced meals daily, scheduled recreational activities, weekly housekeeping services, and transportation for shopping and appointments has left her happy and pleased with her decision about moving to Mallard Point. Being matched with an ambassador (aka – welcoming committee) put her mind at ease since she was the new kid on the block. Ambassadors took her under their wing the first few weeks with respect and

My experience at Holiday Mallard Point was very good. I think they offer probably the most for the money of any place that I considered. They offer a lot of features that I couldn't get anywhere else. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The dining area is very efficient. I've eaten there three or four times now, and the food is very good. The unit that I am moving into has been completely remodeled since the last occupant moved out. They have a lot of daily activities of different types. They have trips. They have games that they play. It's like there's always something going on. I will have a very nice patio, so that I'm going to be able to maintain a container garden, which is important to me. I will also have a large backyard actually.

I liked Holiday Mallard Point's location. It was more in an open residential kind of area and I liked the overall feel of it when you walk in. I liked its accessibility to activities, rooms, and different parts of the building. The person that did the tour was personable. I felt comfortable with him. He was very welcoming and not overly chatty. He was a knowledgeable guy. They had a beauty salon, a library, different rooms where families can gather, laundry, a chapel (I especially liked that for mom), and balconies. The rooms with the balconies overlooked more of a quiet nature kind of area. So, that was a big plus.
