We went on a tour, but it was very, very depressing. I couldn't wait to get out of there. I cancelled my tour at the other Homewood because this one was so bad.

This place is the absolute worst. They actually had some good employees and they fired them. Some of the people there were wonderful, but they are managed by [facility removed] and they only care about the bottom dollar. On many occasions they did not give my father his medication. They did not shower him as often as they said they would. His skin was always in horrible shape. My mother and I were there every other day, sometimes more and I think that's the only reason he got the level of care that he did. They never shaved him. They were understaffed all the time. They don't pour the water to them, so that was the start of my father's decline. When I confronted the asst manager about seeing my father's medical records after his death...it miraculously took 2 hours for him to produce that. We were told by a woman we trusted that the man was in the back editing it to show he had been given all his meds. The first huge red flag was they didn't give [name removed] his meds the first night there and my mother and I sat in the lobby for an hour trying to get someone to help us get dad his medication. Please don't go to this place or any [facility removed] , they don't care about your loved one, only the bottom dollar. You will constantly have staff turnover and never any answers! Oh, and the literal nail in my father's coffin... they didn't call me when they sent him out (his final ride on EMS) to the ER. A nurse that loves Dad texted me asking how he was and I said "I don't know, you're with him". She said "no they took him out last night". I asked where and THEY HAD NO RECORD OF WHICH HOSPITAL!!! So, my father with dementia was brought in with no medical records, no nothing and had been sitting not able to breath and on a CPAP for 8 hrs alone when I was only 30 minutes away! I got there as soon as l found out. We spent the next 30 hours at his beside with him as he died from pneumonia, sepsis, and a heart attack. And we never heard from the director of the facility so much as an "I'm sorry for your loss". We were told we would get our refund in 45 days... it was 4 months later. Awful humans. They never wanted to visit about this, but when I put all this on yelp they reached out from HQ within 10 minutes.

My mom passed away a year ago. The overall experience At Serenades was awful. Mostly due to under staffing issues and under trained staff. End of life or near end of life care was abysmal. My main regret for my mom's last days is Serenades.

Unfortunately our experience there was not a great one. We were paying for the highest level of care and dad still had to wait an unacceptable amount of time when he buzzed for help. One person blamed it on the next person and we were never able to get it resolved. He finally fell and broke a hip because he couldn't wait any longer for bathroom help and he passed shortly after that. He was left alone in his room many times when i specifically told the staff to bring him to the events and get him out of his room. The food was mediocre.

I would not and will not recommend Fox Ridge to others. What we were told in the assessment meeting, is not the same in actuality. They are sometimes very slow to answer the call button that residents get, if at all. They have a resident check out & check in process, yet apparently there is no process to make sure all pertinent staff are aware of which residents are out & which residents are back in the building. The housekeeping of resident's rooms is very lacking. The food is okay most of the time, but sometimes it is cold or dry. You can ask 2 different nurses the same question and yet you'll get 2 different answers. They are very short staffed. When nurses are passing out meds, there's no one in the nurses station to answer calls!

Poet’s Walk is there for money, they don't care about the residents care. My mom had a terrible experience with this facility and I have to move her to another facility for better care. Mom fell in this facility in her room and they never realize mom fell for almost three hours. When they were suppose to make rounds hourly. She was left wet with urine all the time. The nurse director is always clueless. I would never ever recommend this facility to friends or family

The turnover rate at this facility is absolutely crazy! I would not recommend them to anyone until they get their staffing issues addressed. Below is a list of just a few of the issues we had in memory care (valeo)… • My mom went weeks without a shower. They used dry shampoo to cover her greasy hair. Management would not give me a copy of her shower records because "they are internal records and we only keep them for 30 days." • My mom spent many days in bed until noon or later. Some days they would bring her breakfast and some days they wouldn't. Then she would wander her room awake all night. • Not once did she ever receive assistance getting ready for bed or brushing her teeth. • The main activity in memory care is watching tv. There is an activity calendar but many activities don't happen. • Medication records are incorrect. Medication given for pain "as needed" is rarely given. Staff does not take cues when a resident is in pain. Don't be fooled by the pretty building!

This place is the worst I ever put my mom in the rehab. My mom waited 2 hours for held and had no answered at all. The old women next to us called 4 time she said cannot breathe at all waited 3 hours and the nurse gave her a pill died in the rehab. This the worst place I ever put my mom in there.

Do not let your loved one live here. It is woefully understaffed. There are some very nice people there trying very hard to do a good job, but they are overwhelmed. The place is not clean and once care gets near to end of life, they are at a complete loss on how to care for your loved one. Incorrectly medicating, not turning patients to prevent bed sores, poor communication, lack of training and bedside manner. I don't have nearly the space in this review to go over everything wrong with Serenades, but rest assured, you do not want anyone you love here. They will put your loved one onto Hospice almost immediately. Not to give better care, but to make more money for the facility. It is a for profit system and it shows. I wish the best for the staff who were caring and trying hard. I wish nothing but the worst for the Serenades management and the parent company of Serenades. There are plenty of other choices for care. Do not go here.

We are terribly disappointed in the facilities. My wife's mother requires very little assistance in her daily life and we were looking for great food and a classy place to live. She has gotten NEITHER. They can't seem to hire the CHEF that the literature promises. The food is much less than adequate. At the moment, she has no hot water. Earlier this year it took months to fix leaks in her shower. We are going to take this up the Elan corporate ladder and will require verified improvements, or we will go after the refunds she deserves. The fees are far too high for bad food and very poor service.

In looking for a place for my aunt from out of state I found. Sonata. I was very impressed. They visited her twice at the rehab where she was and seem like they cared about her as an individual. I signed all the papers, and gave them payment for the 10 days of May & June as well as the community fee. She was there for 4 days , then taken to the hospital in an ambulance on [date removed]. No one from Sonata came to visit her while she was in the hospital or when she was placed in hospice within the hospital. I came down from Texas as soon as I could but she passed away on [date removed]. Now Sonata is telling me they will not refund the entire month of June as they had previously said they would but would only refund me from [date removed] when I was able to pick up her clothes. They never told me that had to be done when I told them that she wasn't coming back when she was placed on hospice. I thought this place was different but they're not. It's a business. all they care about is money.

Buyer beware. We saw this dump and there was trash on the floor and people yelling and the manager was rough around the edges. They let people live to die there but keep them alive as long as possible to make money. It’s all about the money. My friend is going broke there and has been cut off from her family. Sad deal.

I would not recommend that place to anyone! Memory care is awful you have to hire private care because they don't have enough staff. All you're paying for is the room!!! Never leave your loved one there.

It was clean. They were pretty friendly. They were deceptive about the costs, and they added in additional charges. They were not trasparent in the beginning with the costs. They could improve on their services. My loved one was not able to communicate, and they did not properly provide the level of care that was needed. I would never use this facility again.

This is a beautiful community. However I have been looking for so much more for my mom. I have come in several times with my mom wearing the same clothes. She often smells like urine and she lives on assisted living and is embarrassed to go to activities or eat in the dining room. I can in twice to her briefs being so saturated I was embarrassed for my mom. The executive Director does not respond to my phone calls. Mom has been there 6 months and her care has steadily and obviously declined. Not enough permanent staff. There are only a few good ones. They are lazy and resent when you ask them to help with care. The food is the same and lots of evening sandwiches. There are no activities going on except for Happy Hour. Nothing stimulating. Medications are missed frequently. Hard to find a nurse even though I am told one is there every day. I sat outside the nurses office one afternoon and didn’t see a nurse the entire 45 minutes I was there. Moving her after holidays.

STAY AWAY! If you care anything about your parent or loved one, stay away from this facility. It is all “smoke and mirror”. As you walk in you will babe hit with the smell of urine. My mother was not bathed nor her hair washed for over a week till she smelled, she was dropped by staff, and needed to go to the hospital, her teeth were lost her first week, the food is dreadful and the staff never smiles Please find another place for your mom!

The techs were okay and did the best they could under the circumstances. I think it was an issue with the administrative staff. They need to take a closer look at how they run the facility and the help they provide, because it's not adequate. With 38 clients, they only had two techs and a med aide on the floor on each shift. And the med aide doesn't assist with patient care like bathing, etc. That's not enough care staff to handle that many patients with various levels of dementia. My mom was supposed to stay there for 30 days for respite care, and by the 5th day, I took her back home. She had not been assisted with her meals. She was left soiled. And she fell, unwitnessed, or so they say. She had a large hematoma on her right hip. I took her to the ER to be assessed, whereas they did nothing and had no clue what to do. I'm grateful I'm a nurse and have that knowledge and background. If you don't, I would urge you to think twice before putting your loved one here. Because it turned out to be a horror, even with me staying there with her during those five days from 9 am -11 pm, with only a break for dinner. The activities person looked right at me every day and never once approached me to invite my mom to participate. The girls on the floor were sweet, but it was jus impossible for them to provide adequate care.

I would not recommend this community to anyone. They don't offer special programming for people with dementia. It seems to be misleading. In addition, they had so much turnover in staff, in which no one could provide the care that my loved one needed.

If I could give the Memory Care facility less than 1 star , I would. This place is filthy. You immediately smell urine as soon as you walk into the vestibule, before entering the actual Memory Care area. Things of my mothers constantly went missing.And over the last 3 months my mother was not being bathed properly and smelled very badly. I even complained as high up as The VP of operations. The management sees nothing wrong with the state of the facility and nothing is going to change here. So, after 8 months of complaints and hoping they would do the right things to fix their issues, I moved my mom. Note- if you have complaints about a facility in Fl, also send information AS IT IS HAPPENING to ACHA . ACHA did an inspection of the facility and found it to be “in limits” of their guidelines. It is amazing to me what is within their guidelines. Wow!

My husband was in memory care fell broke hip went to hospital for surgery. Upon returning to sonata received no therapy was left to lay in bed for a week. Evidently, food was brought to his bedside and he was unable to eat him self. Food was taken away untouched Therefore, he was brought back to the hospital diagnosis was failure to thrive. I brought him home with hospice critical care where he survived . Never take you loved one to this place.
