Alto review

My mom absolutely hated Alto but is now at [community removed] and really liked it. Every aspect of [community removed] is so much better. The staff at Alto did not advocate for the residents and it was a nightmare for our family while my mom was there.

Review for Alto Evergreen Walk

I would advise people to use your service. You made it very easy to schedule multiple visits, which is important, look at as many places as you can. Specifically Alto Evergreen, so far we are very happy with it. Friendly staff. Food is good. Place is modern, clean. I would recommend it.

Review for Alto Evergreen Walk

I would recommend Alto. On a scale of 1 -5 I would give them a 4. The only reason I wouldn't give them a 5 is because of the food. Everyone complains about the food. I know it's hard with 100 elderly and different pallets and medical needs / restrictions. The food needs to be addressed.

Our family's experience - we would definitely not recommend

The activities are very juvenile. The staff is less than friendly and not helpful. The food is basically horrible and very unhealthy. There is so much salt on everything. All they care about is making money. They do not care about the well being or comfort of their residents. It is despicable how they never advocate for their residents.

Review for Alto Evergreen Walk

They misspelled my father's name on his door. They had inaccurate information on our paperwork (they listed my address in Florida, when I live in New Hampshire). They do not refill his cpap machine, nor do they supply distilled water. They are do not seem to be making sure he is bathing regularly.
