Critical

Not what we hoped for

It wasn't the best experience. Most likely a result of misunderstanding the level of care or response given. There were also instances of different answers given depending on who you spoke with. The staff were nice people, the place was nice too. The lead nursing administration seemed to not truly care about health and safety although she said that was what mattered.

Satisfied

Communication with the administration has been a little difficult. It's hard to get answers or at least time answers. Otherwise it's a great place. I would recommend

Awesome experience working with A Place for Mom.

It's a very nice place. I'm hearing their food is not always the best. It's like a senior living apartment and you add amenities you need for cost beyond your rent. You can add up to 2 meals a day, house cleaning, laundry, meds set up, shower assistance, Media Monkey. It's very clean and grounds well kept. Pleasant employees.

Falsely advertising

My loved one is there. The place is clean and well kept. But the care my loved one receives is horrible. They advertise as an assisted living facility and train their staff and tell the residents that are independent and don't help them with much. Yes they will help wash their hair and back. Theirs no incontinence care. Their not available when the residents need them. Only for emergencies. As with that they do not call the family during an emergency. This is falsely advertisement.

An excellent value

The staff are nice and helpful. My mother in law is enjoying some of the daily activities offered. The food is good and they offer god sized portions. They do keep the community clean. I would recommend this community.
