Chapters Living

very home like place; spacious, clean. residents and care givers seem happy; Patricia gave an informative tour. I think mother would be happy here.

Overall I think they do a good job at Cedarhurst of Edwardsville. The people here are very nice, and the facility is well kept and clean. They have a lot of great activities and events, and we just love the place in general! However, they've had some turnover in their nursing staff recently, which has caused a few problems in regards to managing our loved ones medications. It's something we've had to watch carefully recently.

My mother has done very well there at Heritage Village of Gladstone. The overall atmosphere is very warm and comforting. I know that she is being very well taken care of. The service, the staff, the food, and everything all seems to be above par. The only area for improvement I have noticed is that mom needs a little more encouragement to make sure that she is showering as often as she needs to. Overall we are really very pleased.

Stonehaven seems to be very good right now, other than when she moved in on a Monday, the owner was out, she came straight from the hospital and there was no orientation for over a week. There was no welcome, no one came and talked to her, she didn't know about anything, menus to fill out, or when meal times were, or even where the dining room was. The only other thing is that there seems to be a lack of communication between nurses aides and the director of nursing. The director of nursing is very nice and very conscientious. They are very up on cleanliness, and the food is excellent, the dining area they keep it clean. They transport her to doctors appointments, which I love. The nurses aides are very friendly, and treat the residents with respect.

Lovely facility but we have lower cost options

My mother lived here for 1 1/2 yrs. She was well taken care of & loved. Meals were great! She never just stayed in her room because they encouraged socializing as much as could be expected. Activities to encourage their long term memory & creativity, snacks, & plenty of time for a nap! The staff became an extended family to me! There is not a perfect place, but they strive to be the best caregivers for the residences' well-being & happiness. Stop by and spend an hour there at different times of the day. The redirection for my Mom was extremely important due to dementia. That isn't possible at an assistant living facility, it wasn't needed during her 3 years there. Our loved ones needs change over the years. Don't wait too long to make the change for them, they can't do it alone!!

My father came from Atlanta to Autumn Leaves of Tulsa because of the staff. He was at Emory in Atlanta and my family had nothing but issues. Emory kept him drugged up and in him room for most of the day. Autumn Leaves is more like a home, and not an area to keep Alzheimer patients. When my sister got him to Tulsa, he was so medicated that he could not walk on his own. In a short time, Autumn Leaves (with a doctor that comes to the facility) had him off his medication completely. He was dancing to the music in the main area in no time. I lost my dad 8 months after he arrived and I wish he would have had more time to enjoy the last days of his life. He loved Autumn Leaves, and the staff was very good to him, as I know it took a lot of patience with his PTSD, and Alzheimers.

We stopped in at the heritage Village and found the community was nice but it did not fit what my mom was looking for. My mom has a scooter that she needs to get around and we felt there were no fire exits for emergency for her to get out in time also we felt there was not enough staff to help she such a occurence was to happen. We also found that the community was a little bite more what we were looking for spend.

We have toured Heritage Village and have set a move-in date, subject to family approval of my decision.

My 90 y/o sister moved in the week before Thanksgiving, so she hasn't been there long. She seems to be doing much better than she was before moving in to Heritage. They make sure she takes her meds properly, and the meals are good and balanced--something she wasn't getting before. She likes the staff & they are so kind to her. The interaction with others has been good for her. It may not be as fancy or roomy as soon of the other places, but many of the frills seen in other assisted living homes would not be of use to her. So far so good. The family is relived to have her in a safe, sound environment.

When I first walked into Autumn Leaves, I did not like what I saw. I had been taking care of my mother for years and I had no experience with memory care units. When I first walked in, there were residents right as you walk through the door. There was someone tapping me, and some going up to my husband. I just feel that they should make it where there is a wall or something so you don't just walk into where all of the residents are.

My mother has complaints, but I haven't seen the things she is complaining about. They have been very good about a lot of things. They were really helpful getting us moved in. I have seen little things, there was a light out in a hallway. I haven't seen any major problems. They are probably a little better than average.

The staff is very friendly and helpful! Pricing & location (near my home) Their willingness to work with me to get my mom in the facility

No matter where we placed my mother the experience of watching her pass away from anesthesia dementia was a nightmare. Some of my ratings will reflect her difficult situation. I felt that my mother was very secure in the memory care unit. There was a lot of staff turnover which I was told was common in that industry. I think that is detrimental to the patients.

It was ok.... some of the staff was great. The man that took over was never involved... night time aids needed more training.

We received reasonable care for the price given and the nursing staff were gracious.

Most of the staff has a great disposition and are friendly. But often requests aren’t answered or addressed as quickly as needed. The cottage units are really big, have great screened in porches and some are done up very nicely for but [amount removed] per month. But the food is the biggest detriment. It is often a casserole of some kind or a small sandwich. if you don’t live in the main building and live in the cottages, it is brought down to the clubhouse and thermal coolers which probably adds to it being lackluster.

I don't feel medical care nor medical referrals are adequate. The deep-pile carpet in rooms is an awful idea for reasons on cleanliness. The people are kind.

The location is great. Staff is seriously undertrained. Lack of knowledge about meds they give. We were told things that are just not true. They said nobody ever moves out of this facility once they move in. There were a few moved within the first few weeks due to issues with the staff. There is no accountability for staff members.

The staff is friendly except for (1). The least is problems with medication by (1) staff member. Thankful my dad is able to recognize his meds.
