Cardinal Senior Management

Good price. $2900/mo. Christian environment.

Living at ICQ is good. Staff takes good care of me. I don't really participate with activities - my choosing.

I liked the community and it was family oriented. Their memory care unit is a secured unit, and we were able to find a community that allowed my loved one to go into assisted living.

I had a virtual tour at Autumn House West. It just didn't seem to be as nice of a facility as the one I ended up choosing, yet it actually cost more.

Staff is great! Rooms are really nice. The entire facility is kept very Clean and beautiful. They keep it nice looking. Comfortable feeling here. Food is awful. Generally served cold. Generally tastes terrible and the chef does not care. Many people have spoken to him, he says it is what it is. Although there was a meeting with residents, it has not changed.

When my friend had an accident and needed help to recover, she went into Elmcroft until she was able to go back home. For the most part, she was very satisfied with everything here. The community was clean all the time. The only complaint was about the food, it was not very good.

My mother was here and things were good. We decided to move her because they couldn't provide the care she needed. They did nothing wrong they just didn't have the staff to meet her care demands.

My mother is living at the community Autumn House West and so far she is doing good. In the beginning there was problem. After talking about the problem, things are getting better. Overall we worked out the kinks and my mom is doing good here at this community.

My Mom is very happy there.Everybody is nice to her and the staff is great.Mom has made a lot of friends and really enjoys BINGO ! She really enjoys activity's. The food is good and lots of variety.She has fun with a lot of the staff. Miss ones that use to be there. It is a very clean place , would recommend to other people.

I love my new apartment here. ALL IS GREAT.

They need to understand they are not babysitters. They need to remember it is not a nursing home, but a retirement community.

The staff is very nice and listens to concerns. Seems like they may need more staff to take care of patients. Takes longer than 5 minutes to get someone to respond and sometimes had to hit the button more times. Had concerns where they didn't shower her for over a week the one time so you have to aware of what's going on so you can let them know. Had an instance where the bathroom toilet was left very dirty and had to bring it to their attention 2 times. My mom was only there 2 months and loved the gentleman on the second floor. He was always there to help her. They were very good at letting me know if something was out of the ordinary and they had to call 911.

They're going through personnel changes, which have resulted in some key differences between when we toured and the current reality. Most notable are a lack of onsite activities--especially cultural/educational, as well as hardly any offsite outings; few healthy food options (standard American diet of meat, cheese, sugar and alcohol with very few veg, gluten-free, raw/fresh, ethnic, etc. options); and poor quality maid service. I will say that the maintenance staff is responsive and helpful, the office staff and some of the assisted living staff seem friendly and hardworking, and the exercise programs are good. I would suggest giving the newer staff time to hopefully make improvements, especially if you are an active/healthier senior. Convenient location at Maple and Telegraph (although not safely walkable to much); competitive monthly rate; pretty setting and beautiful decor in the renovated sections; in-unit laundry; unassigned dining room seating and anytime dining service; active (former) activities schedule with former director citing more to come (i.e. community garden, book club, performances, restaurant outings, etc.).

No actual nurses on site over weekends. Evening shift too busy chatting with other staff members to pay attention to call buttons. Usually takes up 2 hours to answer on night shift. We have regrets. Activity personal are top notch!

Overall I am pretty happy at Bradford. There have been 2 hostile staff members though.

It felt comfortable when I first walked in. It is a good quality placement for the money.

Nice setting, many activities and activities leader goes out of her way to get residents out of the building, keeps them informed of activities and reminds them. Residents are involved in problem solving and idea sharing.

Very average to below average- would not recommend. Care staff not very friendly or responsive. Assistance wait time is unacceptable. Consistently waiting for >1-2 hrs for assistance when calling for help. Think about the fact that many of the residents are 100% dependent on the staff to assist to the bathroom or getting them to dining room. Not patient with people. They are way understaffed. Staff Refuse to wake up a resident after they have called and waited for assistance- wake them up they needed something.

My Dad was only there temporarily (twice). Attention from in-house doctor was not up to my expectations and we did not care for their new pharmacy (charged for things that weren't my Dad's).

My mother complains a lot about everything. She says that the food is bad, they lose a lot of clothing, not happy with the care, and I guess they have mice. Based off of our experience, I would not recommend Autumn House West.
