PositiveExcellent care
I would give a 5 for each of the eight topics. My mother was an independent living for some months, perhaps a year and is now in Memory care. I am very impressed with the quality of care my mother has received.

PositiveReview for The Colonnades
Everyone was very helpful. The business office was slow providing information and feedback on questions. I would recommend them to others who are looking for a place for their loved one.

PositiveMeet the right person/ask lots of questions.
We would rate the colonnades as a 4 out of five. We like our home and have been allowed to make changes to our cottage. Our biggest disappointment has been the lack of information about how the processes and rules operate. We have had to find out from residents who have lived here a long time. Colonnades administration makes changes without consulting with the residents.
Response from the communityThank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you're enjoying your home and the ability to personalize your cottage. We appreciate your concerns about communication and will work on improving how we share information about processes and changes.
