Bonaventure

Great place to just live out your remaining years relaxing.

Unfortunately when my loved ones moved in, the woman who got them in lied to them about a couple of things, so my experience with them was not very good at first with her. She is gone now though, and everyone else on the staff has been really great.

We're very pleased overall with Cedar Ridge! The people here are very friendly and got to know my folks quickly. The facility itself is well kept and clean, and they do a great job looking out for the residents.

We toured here when we were looking around and this was a very nice place as well. The only reason we didn't pick this one, was location. The other community we were looking at was a little closer to the doctor, and all the appointments.

My dad has only been there for about a month so, we are still ironing out wrinkles but, overall, it seems to be on par with the other facilities we toured. It's reasonably valued. The staff seems to be friendly and seem to genuinely care about the residents.

My mom was looking for a place to live close to the family but where she could still feel in charge of her life. Silver Creek has really filled the bill. She has a lovely apartment, with activities she enjoys. The staff is so friendly that she felt at home very quickly. I was worried that she would find it hard to use the shuttle to go to the store, but one of the other residents invited her to go together. Her only complaint is that everyone is so forgetful :) She is so much happier than she was living with us. She is more engaged and active, enjoys the activities and entertainment and says she needs to watch all the desserts! Mom gets to see us when she wants, enjoys people her age and have everything in her own space just the way she wants. It may not be quite as perfect as being in her own home, but at 93 she no longer wanted to keep up a 4 bedroom home for just herself over 2 hours away from all the rest of her family. It is wonderful to know she is close and happy.

They have excellent care. It's brand new and beautiful. They have wonderful programs and activities, but they are a little on the expensive side. It was just a lot to pay, we found comparable and even a little better care for almost half the price.

My mom was just there for respite for one week. The care was good and the activities were okay. I think they have some activities but it's a pretty sedate facility. I don't know how many people participate but it seemed like there are about 45 people there, there might be 4 that participate in any given activity so it's not a very lively group and by 6 o'clock everything shuts down. There is really nothing going on after dinner. That was too bad because my mom is kind of a night owl and really enjoys socializing after dinner. Besides that she really enjoyed it. It's a nice facility, fairly small. Overall I though it was great.

There were some challenges with "move in" but they were eventually overcome. There are not many activities as I had hoped but my parents enjoy the socializing at meals more than anything. I wish it was a Medicaid step down facility. Overall, my parents are very happy there.

What I like the most about Bonaventure is that the care staff is great, friendly and caring. Yes, I would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

The staff is ready friendly and kind to the residents. The place is clean and looks nice! The residents do crafts and games. My grandmother really enjoys being there and has made friends. I would have given a 5 star, but communication isn't the greatest. I find that email isn't their strong suit and calling is better.

As difficult as paring down one’s possessions is for a move to a safer place to live, it can be done. My family got me here and the staff has gotten me settled in. My dog and I have been welcomed enthusiastically and treated with respect. I’ve had an opportunity to observe the care in the Assisted Living area and been impressed with the care that is available. Even with the inclement weather we have experienced over the last week, the walks have been kept safe for us!

We were attracted to them because of the appearance and friendliness. I would recommend to others. I feel it was a bit on the expensive side for being assisted living and what they had to do for my mother but everyone and I mean everyone was very friendly.

My sister in law recently moved into independent living at Bonaventure, will soon be moving to assisted living. I live out of state and was there to help her get settled. All of the staff have been so helpful. We had a million questions, and all were answered promptly. [name removed]and [name removed] always have smiles on their faces, and obviously love their jobs. The dining room was always full of laughter, residents very friendly, and anxious to give us tips. We found the food to be very good, and the soup and salad bar always fresh, and a nice option. I speak to my SIL daily, and she continues to like Bonaventure. Thank you for making this hard transition as comfortable as possible!!

We made new friends our first evening here at dinner. Menu choices are very good. There are a wide variety of activities to choose from. Many outing to choose from as well. The staff are all welcoming and cheerful.

Pay attention to services that are "offered", but not currently staffed. (A barber/hair stylist was offered, but since moving in (date removed) have yet to see one). We are having issues with getting a credit applied for the 2 weeks the room was not acceptable to live in. Food quality has gone down since my dad moved in... House keeping was supposed to be weekly, and so far has been more like every 2 weeks after making complaints.

Mom really likes the staff she works with but gets frustrated with the turnover. I am guessing that there is turnover at every facility. There are several key staff members for Mom that have been stable for the last couple years, so I am pleased about that. They do seem to have a lot of turnover in the kitchen and the quality is up and down.

The activities are limited! It enough people want to participate. That is not Bonaventure’s vault! There isn’t very many independent residents! The food is ok but I would like to see more variety! The staff are very friendly and helpful!

High staff turnover. Had some good people, just not long term employment. A good chef on staff and good servers too. The management doesn't always give good information to the residents.

I would probably recommend it to others. The only other comment would be is I believe it is under staffed. I picked them because of the openness of the apartment. It has an open airy to it and also it had small but adequate kitchen
