Great spot for my Mom

My Mom moved in here in Feb 2019 and at first she was having a tough time and felt like we didn't want to have her living with us. A month later she has made some friends and is loving living a Emerald Retirement Residence, she even said that she should have done this years ago!!! All the staff are always very friendly and the new managers went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect for my Mom. Apparently they have a new and improved menu that is great and are adding a ton of new activities. Thank

Advertised promises not there

Although the Emerald was fairly good, it did not live up to all of it's promises. My aunt did not like how the dining room was run. If she asked for something, like bread, she was refused. There were other problems, but nothing major. They should not advertise that they have things that they do not. I do not wish to answer any more questions from senior advisor. My aunt has passed away, and we cannot get a first hand account of her likes and dislikes.
