Calson Management

The staff is very friendly but they have various shifts of people that cycle from one area to the next. So there isn't a lot of continuity. No real "go to" person. In the beginning the laundry started piling up, but they finally got him on the whole laundry routine. I'm not sure that the dentures are being cleaned. ---addendum to original review: Dad mysteriously broke his hip, screaming in pain one morning. The staff called me to ask what I wanted to do. Why didn't they know they should call 911? They wouldn't let him return to Atria after hospital stay because he was now in a wheelchair. They never called me -- even though I was the main contact. I learned from the hospital that Atria wouldn't take Dad back. Dad also had a wicked case of Scabies caught at Atria. They tried to dismiss the problem at first saying they had issues with laundry. Problem is that the aides are technically not allowed to apply the scabies medicine (insecticide) to the residents as licensing doesn't permit it (I was told). So if your loved one contacts scabies or needs ear wax removal medicine placed in his ears at least once a day, plan on taking time off from your job to do it yourself. Also it was impossible to get a pedicure for my Dad's wicked-looking feet even though they kept bragging about their spa service. I felt that the memory loss residents were 2nd class citizens there. Amenities were focused on "normal" people.

accommodate 32 residents at a time. Specializes in Alzheimer.

I think it’s a wonderful community. One bright and cheery even in the memory care, a lot of the places we looked at were not as bright in the memory, but my loved has a bright and cheerful. My dad thinks it’s really good quality food. The staff is very, very nice. It’s the nicest and the best. There are always going to be issues and we are finding some issues, but nothing that is threating my mother’s care. There’s a lot of staff changing. My mom’s care is very good. I think people find this community very cheerful.

They’ve all been good except for one. My loved one doesn’t really participate in activities. When first was looking at it – I was impressed by how friendly and open the person who showed me around was and how the other people seemed to be willing to talk to me. The staff whenever we’ve had a problem they’re very willing to help find a solution, and for the most part very open to our concerns. I’m not impressed, but my loved one seems to like it. It’s a lovely setting and the courtyard is very nice, where people can sit and enjoy the sun.

They are great, fantastic! The best thing is that their staff is friendly and caring, but there have been a couple hidden costs that I didn't know about going into it, so that's the downside. They have a variety of activities, family events and crafts and that type of thing. They have memory care, and that's where he's at now.

Pleasant atmosphere. Very clean, spacious room. Attractive common areas. Varied activities. Quiet. Two pianos in 2 of the rooms for music performances. Assigned dining seating. Full transportation. Rise was very engaging.

I looked at this place but it was too far from home. I was close but not close enough to where I could run up on the way back from home and also run errands and things. I seemed like a very nice place. It was good but it's a matter of what you're looking for and I needed something closer.

My parents were there and that was good for a period of time and then when my father's dementia got worse. The problem was not so much the caregiving but the difficulty of the situation. The cleanliness was very good. There were activities available and dementia ones. My father didn't participate but they brought them to musical events with in the larger community. They had partitioned off the dementia care but they would try to bring them in for any activities in the community. They were very inclusive that way.

They are currently doing some upgrading and remodeling so you will have to look beyond that right now. They were the best price for what they had to offer. We went to visit it after A Place for Mom recommended it and we liked it. It was within out budget and was a smaller community. With it being smaller it provides a more home like feeling and does not feel overwhelming for our loved one. We are very pleased with them and would recommend them to anyone.

large facility. Nice studio in assisted living with half wall to separate bed/living. Small kitchenette w/sink/cupboards. Bathroom has nice set up with low shower threshold and handheld - plenty of room. Mom would like the dining room - open. Memory care option down the road - smelled bad/hot/did not see actual room.

Ailey and staff very nice but was a little disapointed in the layout of semiprivate room. They also will be doing a major remodel/renovation this spring and didn't want mom to have to deal with all the odors,noise etc. Also smelled like urine but I am sure that would have been remedied with the updating. (new carpet)

I liked Almavia. It was a nice place. Cheerfull color in the halls etc.

Very nice. One of the rooms in the back would accomodate my mother's smoking but it is pretty far from the main building. Location is good.

Nice.

Good amount of space and willing to accommodate. Old bldg that didn't smell very good. Kosher food may be a problem. Seemed negotiable on price.

Nice, small, intimate. Privately owned. Location is good, but not walkable. They have Mah jongg!

Dark wood interiors - good familiar location. Rooms not configured well.

They seem to provide good care and activities. The staff are very friendly. My friend is in a studio in the memory care unit, and he has his own private bathroom. It's a very nice little unit. I would try to avoid the food though. He tells me he hates the food. It's never warm, and it's almost always processed diced chicken, sometimes with rice, sometimes with what they call a salad, which is iceberg lettuce, a couple of pieces of tomato, and no dressing. It's all flavorless and the same thing three times a day. Overall, I think it's a good value for the cost. The food is just the biggest issue.

Had problems with some of the morning staff...afternoon staff ([name removed]?) outstanding. No crazy about dinners, breakfast and lunch fine.

the staff is very helpful.
