I would recommend that you have a conversation at this community and that you check it out for yourself. They are not a one size fits all it is all up to what is needed.

Since my loved one has been here the community has been very welcoming. They even had a welcoming event and was greeted by the staff the first day my loved one moved in. The staff communication with the family has been wonderful. They have been great at communicating any concerns as well. This has been a good move for my loved one.

Our family had an in person tour and this would of been a great option but they have limited visiting hours and that was just not going to work out for us.

This community is nice but I did not like the location of the community.

We chose Sonota at Coconut Creek because of the convenience of my friends family to that location. She was also able to get her own room and bathroom which was important. I think the meals are chef prepared, she doesn't complain about that at all. When we first checked this facility out there was some misinformation about the insurance and a few things came up so we had to make some different adjustments.

beautiful campus, personable management, lots of activities and medically staffed.

This was a good community and would have worked perfect for my loved one. This community was actually my favorite I just had to narrow down the choices and my loved one picked a different community. The tour was great, and they took the time to show me everything.

I thought Addington Place was good. It was just too big for my loved one. For somebody more self-sufficient, I think it would have been a good place. They had a lot of variety for somebody who is more active.

This tour was well done at this community. The only things is that we did not feel it was a good fit for our loved one. Also at the time they did not have a room avail only a double room avail. I did not feel like it was locked down enough for memory patients also.

It is a little pricey but the biggest thing that stood out to us was the cleanliness and the memory care staff. HarborChase is not like other communities we looked at, instead of gathering the memory care residents and sitting them in front of the nursing station to sing songs all day, they actually integrate the residents with the assisted living. They take them around the community to use different equipment and even take them on trips. The memory care is just outstanding.

We toured Atrium at Liberty Park and it went well, the facility is beautiful. We did not choose them because it is on 2 floors and our loved one wanted something on the first floor.

The person that I was supposed to see for the tour wasn’t there that day. So someone else assisted me. The tour was good overall. They answered all of my questions. Their facility set-up was a little different. The living areas were more open. As far as I could tell, they didn’t have bedroom doors that lock, so the residents could amble in and out.

We chose Elan Westpointe because they have a lot of activities in the memory care unit and they are well schooled in working with dementia patients. The staff are kind and the facility is very nice. The food here is very good and she enjoys is. It has seemed it took a while to get accustom to moms routine, but we are trending in the right direction. I would recommend them to any of my friends with parents who have dementia.

The community is smaller than most and I like that they receive more personalized care. The community is kept neat and clean and the staff is very friendly. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

The community is open to feedback and has addressed any issues we have had. The community is clean and neat, and the staff is very friendly. Overall we are very happy and blessed that we can spend so much time with our loved one. The activities are very engaging and they really try to get people engaged.

The community has a big activity calendar for the residents to choose from. The building is huge and it can take a long walk to see your loved one depending on where your loved one is. The staff has been friendly. The food is really good, from what I've tasted.

On the whole, I would say my loved one is in better condition than she was months ago when she moved in. She's always clean, she's dressed, her hair is washed. She's appropriate to the weather, if she needs long sleeves, etc. What I don't like- I got a call that she had nothing warm to wear - no socks, this or that. But when I got there, she had an entire drawer full. I went out and bought stuff to make sure she had what she needed. I had to go to the director to have someone actually go in there and open the drawer and look. I also would expect them to let me know when she needs more Depends, or set a schedule for it. I would rather they just let me know ahead of time than wait until she's down to nothing so I have to run around like a goose to get her what she needs. They keep her supplies in a locked closet, which I do understand. If it's not locked, she'll get in there and pick it all apart. But that means I can't check on it myself. They do call me when she falls or needs to change her meds, which is important. But the day to day things are important as well. They need better internal communication so they can communicate with the families better. The clothing issue has been resolved since I addressed it with them. My loved one doesn't seem to mind the food. Activities are a little on the large scale for her. It's all big groups together for coloring, birthday celebrations, etc. I wish there were opportunities for her for smaller gatherings with just a few people - she's not one for big groups. All the memory care centers are expensive, and Atrium is not an exception. But I didn't want a nursing home for my loved one. With this place, they have more aides and dieticians and physicians, and truly nurses that will call me. Although I don't think the communication between nurse's aide, home health aide, and licensed staff is so good. Hospitals do what is called a huddle, where they go over changes and happenings during the day at staff changes. I think something like that could be beneficial in this type of care as well. They're just now opening up so we can bring her food and take her out. They've made sure the residents had their shots. When your family member first moves in, they have a week where they ask you not to visit so the new resident can get settled. In our experience, I think it should be closer to a month so they can get fully settled. People with dementia don't handle change well, and every time we would visit, she would cling and not want to stay, which was hard on both parties. When we came back in a month, it was a different reaction. But at the beginning, they were extremely good at talking to us and letting us know what was going on. The director was exceptional in how he handled the move-in transition. I thought it was going to be a nightmare to leave her. We had tried adult day care, and she literally tried to escape. But the director took her around to the cafeteria and said I have some paperwork, would you like to have tea and cookies with me, and she was all for it. And it took all of the nasty, scary vibes out of it. It was just let's go have a cup of tea and chat. Which was the best way to handle it. It allowed us to leave without her thinking it was a bad thing. And now that she's adjusted, she's doing okay. She knows all the girls names. They definitely keep things clean. The first thing I did when I walked in the door was take a deep breath. If I could smell pee, I would not leave her there. And I did not smell that at all at Atrium. Overall I think they do a good job. I just wish communication was a little better sometimes.

They were excellent here. The director who ran the place was an excellent communicator. The ratio of staff to residents left plenty of staff available per person. That very well could have been that they had a bigger percentage of dementia patients to care for. The food was decent, a notch better than where we moved to when we moved to a different area. It was relatively easy to leave communications and notes regarding my loved one's care. Communication is key when you're on this side of your family member's care. And their communication was great. I attribute most of that to the director. He'd had a personal experience with a loved one passing, and it was a big awakening for him. He was just very good.

The communication is good and they keep our family well informed. They are always open to feedback and work with us. The community is clean and the staff does a great job with the residence. I would recommend this community to others.

The process of getting in the staff were incredibly helpful. The communication wasn't what I had expected after my loved one was in the community. I had to get an aide in addition to the memory care cost due to person issues with my loved one. They were helpful setting up on the room. Once the resident is in the community, I think they need to have more staff available to talk to you about your loved one.
