I visited 12 places in a very short period of time. Ultimately what helped me decide was the staff. They were considerate of the fact that I had to make a lot of tough decision in a short period of time. The office staff were very helpful, and did not pressure me. As I viewed several places, I did not see staff mingling with people like I did at Poet's walk. My mother moved in at the beginning of January. The front office staff always greets me with a smile and kind word. One time, I came unexpectedly to visit and my mom was already visiting with two staff members in her room, and was telling them stories. I heard the laughing before I walked into the room which makes my heart happy. I was so worried my mother would be upset about losing independence. She actually seems happier. She has new routines with her new friends. She told my teenager that she has a "bestie". These ladies really hit it off from the start. I can't say enough good things about the staff. My mother has adopted them all. She is constantly introducing me to my "new sister". The only thing that would make Poet's walk better would be to buy the chef an ice cream maker. (He has some ideas, and I volunteer to taste test.... for the residences of course). Thanks to all the staff for all they do! You are appreciated.

Super enthusiastic administrator! The monthly cost was a sticker shock situation but if I had expected it, I would not of been as shocked. Many activities and super clean and friendly.

My Mom was in the Preserve this past year until her recent death. She was always very clear that she never wanted to go to a "nursing home". She was highly educated and had traveled the world. When we arrived at The Preserve she was immediately taken in by the beauty of the place. She found the other residents to also be well educated and primarily all professionals. Initially she was engaged and social. During these months she enjoyed the wonderful variety of activities offered; the music, BINGO and visiting animals. A speakers series is available, arts and crafts, trivia and a monthly talk by a resident sharing their own life story - just to note a few of the options. The pool is wonderful, the grounds are beautiful, the pond is serene and the neighborhood is private. We always spoke of how it looked like she'd moved onto a cruise ship. The large welcoming reception area and the coffee area, the open dining room and the intimate neighborhood block areas for each resident's apartment made getting to the apartments here easier and much less confusing than any other facilities we found when we were looking. With time Mom began a significant cognitive decline and became caught in a no-man's land of not really belonging in either an ALF or a Memory Center. She could be rude to the staff and wanted to remain in her bed or apartment since she realized she couldn't remember anyone's names and sometimes felt confused. The care the nursing staff, the aides, and all the various support staff provided her was remarkable. They were kind and gentle and attentive to her and her needs - even when she was not always gracious in return. (which she was unaware she had done) She was always clean, she always had food and drinks available to her, her doctor was always kept in the loop and her meds were monitored and dispersed appropriately. The aides were gentle and thoughtful and often checked in on her when she chose not to join an activity. When we entered this concerning decline the nursing staff was so kind to us as a family and taught us so much about this terrible disease. Even as times became tough, Mom always spoke of how kind the residents and the staff were and how beautiful her apartment was. My family appreciates the care our Mom received at The Preserve; the beauty and simplicity of the facility. the variety of activities, the kindness of other residents and the excellent medical and personal care provided to her. We appreciate the continuing education we received from caring nurses and aides. We highly recommend The Preserve for senior care.

The staff and administration are very friendly and attentive. The activities director was great and everyone seemed to be concerned about the welfare of my husband.

We toured most assisted living facilities in the area. Most looked nice and had great brochures but care levels varied. We wanted one that had 24 hour nursing on site and could provide support for oxygen and medication. During the tour we met with both the Community and Executive Directors and were very impressed with their knowledge, sensitivity to my mothers needs and the facility. Sonata far exceeded our expectations. The food is great, there are always activities and the staff is friendly, caring and responsive. Most times the aides respond in minutes when my mother needs assistance. Thank you Sonata

Our experience with the folks at Barsthaven was quite positive. Everyone was always courteous and helpful and seemed to know their”folks” very well. Unfortunately my husbands decline was very rapid and he passed away after only 3 weeks. The Barathaven staff was very compassionate and helpful through it all.

Merrill Gardens ChampionsGate has exceeded my expectations that I wanted for my mother. I'm beyond pleased!!!

Beautiful facility and relatively well priced. The fenced in courtyard, new building, nicely appointed apartments, etc were appealing.

My father [name removed] is receiving quality care & attention while my brother & I live out of state we are very happy with your services and how kind & attentive the staff is our visits have been very pleasant , thank you

i absolutely loved the place and the vibe, more of a family setting. the big drawback is the studio apartments. Although they are plenty big enough, my father prefers a one bedroom place.

My husband was the first female president when poets walk open [date removed]. He has a favorite, but all residents are treated with respect and affection. The caregivers all very compassionate, they all are attentive to any changes in residence health or demeanor. The food is healthy – the activities keep them engaged. The management bends over backwards to accommodate concerns of family members. This is a clean facility.

WHILE AT SONATA I FOUND EVERYONE FRIENDLY, THE FACILITY CLEAN AND THE CARE GREAT. I AM ONLY THERE PERIODICALLY BUT FEEL THAT EVERYONE IS GENUINELY CONCERNED FOR ALL RESIDENCE THAT LIVE THERE.

Exceeded my expectations! Staff goes above and beyond. Facility is always very clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

This facility made the short list. Very impressive staff.

Beautiful place. So good to know such quality exists so close to home. I would feel very comfortable there when I decide to move.

We consider it a blessing that we found Sonata at Coconut Creek as a place for my mother to live. The executive director communicates with us regularly about how my mother is doing and we receives regular calls from the nursing staff letting us know about her health. She has benefitted from help from the Physical Therapy Department and has spoken positively about their staff. The facility itself is cheerful and beautifully decorated. My mother lives in a spacious and comfortable studio apartment that fits her needs. She enjoys the daily activities and socializing with the other residents and can also have quiet time alone if she desires. A van is available to take her to doctors’ appointments or shopping if she desires. I can recommend Sonata at Coconut Creek with the greatest confidence for your family member.

Nice facility. Very engaging staff. More expensive than I originally anticipated. Definitely to stay on the options list.

We made a tough decision to move our loved-one from a facility where care giving caused us many concerns. We were frustrated with numerous falls, over several months, resulting in serious injuries. The proposed solution was to hire private-pay nursing, around the clock, which increased care costs tremendously! Moving into Poet’s Walk brought about an immediate improvement! The medical team is alert and engaged. Within days, a speech therapist identified swallowing problems and made recommendations to modify her diet. Physical therapists identified diminished core strength and adjusted her care plan accordingly. The nursing team is alert and engaged, bringing us peace and lifting tremendous worry! [Name removed] is a “hands-on” Executive Director and he can be seen interacting with both residents and staff throughout the facility! Marvin Smith, Lauren Urbanek, and Kelsey Lang are the reasons we selected Poet’s Walk—they responded correctly to the myriad of questions we asked. Further, they went above-and-beyond, working long hours to insure a comfortable and joyful transition between facilities. We can’t say enough good things about our experience!

I have come to tour this facility twice. The only thing bad is that i am moving away and will no longer be looking in this area. Based on the other Alzheimer's care facilities in the area this one is FAR above the rest. There prices was middle of the road and all the staff i met were very pleasant. While looking for my mother i have seen many false or fake smiles. I'm not sure how to explain it but it looks like people actually love being here.
