Bonaventure

I took a tour here when trying to find a place to live. When we first walked in, they were very pleasant and friendly. The rooms were very spacious and the cleanliness of the place seemed fine. The person that took us on the tour was very knowledgeable about the facility and what they had to provide. They were also very good about being able to answer our questions. I had no complaints, it was our second choice, but we just wound up not moving in.

My wife and I feel like the sizing of our 2 bedroom here at Bonaventure is perfect for us and we will be able to remain here as our needs change from independent living to assisted living which is great. The staff is very good and we're participating in a lot of the activies that they offer. They do have outside tours every week which we can go on should we want to. We use the dining room for 2 of our meals, and it is quit good. Yes I think I would recommend Bonaventre to my friends and family, their doing a good job.

Since becoming a resident of the community, my mom is doing fine with the new experience here. We picked this community for their amenities. They provided more than the other communities we compared it to.

The Staff that work for Oswego Place in all locations are some of the hardest working and caring individuals I have encountered. One would be so lucky to live in a community with staff like these guys and gals. The food at Oswego Place is flavorful and cooked to order. When I inquired about moving my loved one here, the staff communicated with my Dr. about my specific dietary needs. I know that we are little more difficult and they have been great at educating my loved one at the monthly food forum or even on a one on one basis with the head chef. Activities I cannot say enough great things about how much these ladies run and move throughout the day. They are constantly thinking of new ways to help us have a good time! Including going to different outings and musical entertainment. In fact they even went above and beyond for a beautiful Veteran's wall on Flag Day to honor the entire veteran's living in the community. This place is like a resort or a cruise ship on land! I know that my loved one will no longer be stuck in her home depressed and without friends. She will be active and happy and surrounded by kindred spirits. All places will have problems and unhappy customers but I can tell you if you come here you will also be happy and you will make new friends to last you a lifetime.

Bonaventure is such a happy place. Lovely surroundings, friendly people and so much help in finding my Mom her new home. She is thrilled and I'm thinking about making a reservation for myself for sometime in the future! Mom had a bad fall about 10 days before scheduled move-in and they were absolutely wonderful about helping me with anything I needed to make her new home as warm and comfortable as possible. She loves it!!

We have enjoyed the staff and other residents who are all friendly. The staff are helpful when needed. The community is kept clean at all times. We get 2 meals a day and it is good but not fine dining. I have played cards and we are soon to try exercises. I was lead to believe they would have a minister come weekly but that is not all true.

The first month for my mother here was great. This is a lovely community. The community is very clean and well-kept. The staff here is very kind and helpful to my mother and her needs. The community does offer nice activities for the residents, and my mother loves the food. I would suggest this community for anyone to take a look at.

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.

The staff really took care of my mom. Concerns were timely addressed. I thought they could have kept the place in better condition.

We chose Woodland Retirement because of the cleanliness, personnel, and value for the money. They are always changing the personnel. Don't get me wrong, the ongoing personnel is good but it seems whenever I call in the past it's always someone different.

Beautiful building, staff very good/ nice and friendly, building has independent living, assisted living and Memory Care. Memory care very good with good ratio of caregivers to residence. Friendliness- I have been here [time frame removed] and only one man has spoken to me, very few men respond even to a good morning in the hallway. Women are more friendly and converse when approached.

Food was not well targeted to my father's diabetes. changed medical bill within 2 weeks. No bridge to Medicaid. Once funds are expended you're out. The facility director spoke poorly of other competing facilities. I felt this was unprofessional

Do not let them take over as your drug dispensary. If you need to return medication, don't depend on them getting that done. Drugs just go missing, with no accountability. I figure [name removed] lost about $[removed] in missing drugs. Who knows what happened...Then, he is suppose to get an emergency medical wristband, that was paid for and he never got one. After 8 months of nagging, I finally gave up. So the place is not perfect, but way better than most, so we are overall happy with most of our experience's.
