Admin could improve

Overall we were pleased by front line staff and the condition of the facility. There was an awful lot of turnover of mid-level administrative staff which was problematic. Information was given to. Is that was either not always correct or not followed through with. My mom's situation did get more complicated as she transitioned onto Hospice and assisted living (from independent living) at the same time. RCS was also doing a survey at the time and staff were preoccupied with that vs residents care. Understandable bu

Review for Spring Creek by Bonaventure

Spring Creek is a fantastic community with friendly staff and residents. My mom only stayed a few weeks because we realized she panics without constant company in her immediate space and her husband ended up not being able to join her. We have since moved her in with us and acquired in home care supports.

Review for Spring Creek by Bonaventure

[name removed] is settling in and really liking it. They need some LGBTQ plus training there because there is some hostility express by some of the residents... but she is making friends and enjoying herself now. It's all gonna be OK.

Caring staff

Stairwells were dirty. We were promised the carpets would be cleaned before moving in. They were not. Apt. was nice size. Staff during the day assigned to my MIL floor was amazing. I wish I could remember her name.

Wonderful facility, great staff!

What struck me the most about the facility was the friendly staff had lunch there.Several times in the food is really , really good. The caregivers, no mother's name by the first name and they really care about their people that they're taking care of during the day.I appreciate that to make sure mother's taking care of until she's no longer here. We thoroughly enjoy having mother at this facility because of the activities that she participates in from playing cards going to movies cocktail hour.It's gotten her out

Caring Staff

They were very nice, good food, beautiful facility and my MIL liked it the short time she was there. I gave a 4 because there were times they were a bit disorganized. I would recommend to others. If I lived closer and was in need of assisted living, I would live there.
