Sonata Boca Raton could offer more outdoor time for the residents. We would probably recommend this community to other families, we don't know many other places we would recommend.

This facility is best for serving those with severe Alzheimer's and behavior problems. However they are under staffed currently. We have moved my father to a different facility.

The other two reviews listed are not for this location or facility. It is not in Peachtree City. It does not have a pool and is only one level. My parent has been there for a few years and the level of communication and service has fluxucated over the years. Before it was owned by a corporation, the staff seemed to care more. COVID aside, which they handled very well, the lack of staff and communication is frustrating. I am not sure why the overturn of staff is so high, but there are good staff members. There just needs to be more and more like them. Their hiring practices are questionable. There was a cook/head of the kitchen that no one, staff or residents, liked or could get along with. After he finally left, they (different management) hired him back a few years later. After all my complaints, I was livid. This man threatened residents and messed with food. Hopefully, they finally get the new pharmacy integrated because that has been an issue off and on.

They are on their 3rd manager and 2nd office manager. Sense of urgency is lacking.

The information received during the tour is not accurate I.e. daily activities provided are either not available or infrequent. And the round the clock supervision is questionable. We plan to put a camera in the room for better oversight.

My loved one was previously a resident at Sonata Boca Raton. The facility did not provide sufficient aides. The food was good and my loved one's room was good.

Staff are mostly friendly and helpful. They need to Hire a new chef. Also, two activities directors have quit or be fired in the five months I have been there.

My mother was previously a resident at Addington Place of East Lake. Overall, the experience was okay, but there's definitely room for improvement. Wait times are very long to get help. Some of the help was rough with my mom. Constantly rushed. They were also cutting way back on food portions. The food was average/above average taste. As for recommending this facility, I would definitely look at multiple facilities to compare.

Our family had an in person tour with Poet's Walk and they answered all questions when asked. Tour general. Not knowable on specific dementia systems and care. Could not give average time frame of employee turnover. Did give evidence of including all residents even bed ridden in activities. Staff communicates with tablets so kept current of residents status. Was still impressed with place.

Areas they could improve on - our experience started off very well, our loved one was there for less then 5 months and then he had came down with covid and passed. During that time the communication could have been much better and could of prevented some things from happening.

I would tell others that the food Is very good, but unless the resident plans to eat in the main dining room, food is served only at the start of mealtime. If you get there later, they have no food. There has been bad attitude from some of the staff. My loved one felt bullied and disrespected by some of the staff. Others are very nice and helpful, but I suppose that's true everywhere.

The staff in the kitchen is fantastic - they are very well managed. The food is amazing. The front desk people as far as sales staff and the director are very accommodating and great. The challenge seems to be finding aids to manage the day to day care.

This place is not for my mom, she is an active person and the activity is geared towards walkers and wheelchairs. We had a very hard time trying to get her meds to her at the times she was used to. I really did not have much interaction with the staff.

There is a difference in whose working and how things are run. At first were so happy, it was amazing and it was everything they said it would be. But now it is a a bit of a mess because of the shortage of staff. They are super understaffed. Almost everyone who was here when we placed my loved one has left. Even leadership. There is no liaison for the residents anymore. The guy who runs the kitchen is such a sweetheart and works so hard, but they had to switch so the main meal is at lunch because they are so short staffed at dinner times. All of the staff are doing a very good job and really trying their best, there is just not enough of them. Overall there have just been a ton of turnover in the staff and that is affecting everything else. I could not recommend them at the moment until they get staffing all figured out.

Conveniently located to our home, however our time there we just didn’t get the homey feeling we wanted for our loved one.

My tour at The Retreat at Berryville was all but 15 minutes long, it was not very thorough. I am not sure if it wasn't the person who normally does the tours or what. Other tours I took I was there at least an hour and a half. The facility was very nice, new and modern. I just did not got the warm and fuzzy feeling that I was looking for.

The Phoenix is a new community that just opened so right now they do not have enough residents to provide the transportation that is offered. They also do not have a lot of activities right now but hopefully has the continue to grow that will soon change.

We're not particularly happy with them. Our biggest concern is the health aides, which they call care partners. We pay extra for additional services. Their base price is basically independent living, and you pay extra for assistance. The care partners aren't showing up half the time to help our loved one with showering, dressing, or going to bed. Which is hard on my loved one, who then doesn't know what to do. I've discussed it with the head nurse and the director, and it's still happening. Another concern is that the care partners don't have any bedside manner or communication skills. Residents like my loved one with mild dementia need a greeting and/or introduction when a person enters into their home. Often they don't say anything when they come in. Sometimes they ask her if she needs anything instead of just helping her with the pre-determined task. If she says she's not sure, they just leave. And these aren't isolated incidents. As far as recreation goes, the recreation director is very nice, and I think he tries to do a good job. But activities have been very inconsistent. When they're not happening as posted, there is no communication. When activities are on the schedule, it's not indicated where in the facility they will be taking place. When she asks the concierge, they don't know. And often activities are cancelled because nobody is showing up. So she has pretty much given up on trying to attend. Meals are one of the highlights. The dining room staff is a little friendlier. They know everyone by name, and ask the residents what they would like to eat at each meal. They could speak up a little though, since many of the residents are hard of hearing. But everything I've tried has been good. They serve dessert every day, and they serve the crispiest bacon I've ever had. The menu has good variety. The concierge staff is also very friendly, as well as housekeeping. It's a beautiful facility - bright and shiny and new. The tour was wonderful, but it doesn't live up to the hype. It's the care partners that we have a problem with - their lack of bedside manner and inconsistency of care, which we are paying a premium for. I also wish they had online availability for families to see the activities schedule so I could prompt her to participate. Additionally, there is no way to check meal balances, which don't roll over, unless you contact the chef. So it's hard to plan for the month. Basically there is no online visibility for families, and there's no excuse for that in this tech day and age. For the residents without family there to advocate for them, I would be concerned.

Her laundry was lost a lot and it took them a while to react to her needs. Sometimes the head nurse was not very nice. When we had issues she took offense to what we were saying. There were several every day staff members that were compassionate during our stay. She passed away from covid and I think the facility should have had stricter protocols during that time. Nobody has reached out since our loved ones passing and that shocked us - we never felt any compassion from them and that has been very disappointing.

Our family had an in person tour and the person was very information, the tour was fine but it was just not going to be the place for us. It needs a little updating and it needs to be a little more aesthetically pleasing
