PositiveThere is a new director in place, and he deserves time to implement changes and improvements. He has been very open to feedback and input, which is encouraging. The staff are cheerful, caring, and work hard to support the residents. However, The Arbor would benefit from additional staffing to adequately meet the needs of its growing resident population. The activities director is especially upbeat and does an excellent job of encouraging participation and including all residents who are able to take part. Music, i…

PositiveThe day staff have been wonderful. The way they run the memory care is different from what I experienced when visiting other facilities. The memory care residents actually get to leave the floor with staff and interact with residents who are not in memory care. They share many of the activities together - not only at the facility but outdoor as well, including walks, field trips etc. Many of the other places we visited did not have the "resources" available to allow the memory care residents to leave the floor, u…

PositiveStaff are all caring and kind. Food is delicious. Apartments are thoughtfully laid out - best I have seen for assisted living. I would recommend them to others who are searching for assisted living for their loved one.

PositiveThe staff is wonderful and incredibly patient. The activities focus on music, physical activities, art and walking outside. Busy schedule of activities and field trips that Memory Care residents can participate with the Assisted living group. The new food service is fabulous! The rooms are lovely in size and so well-maintained by the cleaning staff. All in all, I believe this is the best community in this area!

PositiveOverall experience since [date removed], when [name removed] moved in: #4. Management oversight has been shaky since [removed] was purchased by a Salt Lake company the week of [date removed] when my husband moved in. It's now called the Arbor at Berkeley. The Executive Director hired an on site manager, an Office Manager, and a Director of Memory Care. The office manager and director of memory care are still there. The ED is being replaced. The on site manager resigned in mid-December and is being replaced. That s…
