Charter Senior Living

It's my brother's mother-in-law that lives there. They like it very much. The problem is that she is waiting for her husband to come live with her. He's in a rehab facility and I don't think he'll be coming to live with her. She misses her home and stays in her room all the time. She's happy with the apartment itself. Deborah Parke, who I worked with from A Place for Mom, is golden. She is just a jewel! She is so helpful and went above and beyond answering my questions so she gets kudos too.

MIke Barr and Mike Ebenson were really great and you could tell they cared about their residents and facility. We were able to take my dad for a tour as well but felt this was not the best fit for dad since he is very alert and pretty independent still and we wanted to make sure he was going to be able to have good interaction with others. the facility was very nice and clean, staff were friendly and definitely appeared to like their work.

My mother was there. She's in nursing care now. The place was clean and the people were nice. She didn't participate in the activities so I don't know about those.

The staff I thought was wonderful, I really can't say enought about them, every single one of them were very friendly. I thought the care was okay, of course my mom was used to having care 24/7 before she moved in there so that was a big adjustment for her. For the most part they seemed pretty responsive, I think theres an adjustment period on both sides: she was getting her meds and she was being cared for but she wasn't getting her bathing and shampoo regularly. There was some confusion on the parts of the aids but they did eventually get it straightened out. She couldn't participate in the activities but fortunately she did have a lot of company and she did enjoy the women she ate her meals with; they tried to match them up with people that were compatible with them so that was nice. It's difficult for any family now knowing what to expect, we had a few bumps in the road but it was mostly an understanding between the staff and me.

Beautiful home and decor. Very feminine. Not very many men.

Emeritus is a very friendly, well run facility. Tara Jalbert is a great spokeswoman for the company. The residents I spoke with are happy, the apartments I saw are very attractive and there are a lot of scheduled opportunities for residents to participate in if they choose.

We had to move my family member due to some psychiatric issues; we hope that once they get done with their treatment we will be able to move them back. It was a great place.

This was the first facility I visited, and it is the only one I have seen that provides everything I need on one site. I liked the campus and the staff, I was upset by the memory care ward, not by anything there--it was wonderful, but by the fact that I am going to need the care that is provided there. It was very serene and quiet well managed and peaceful. I don't think I could find better care at that point in my life when I reached it. It is just scary seeing what the future holds for me.

Susan was very informative and place looks and smelled clean. Residents looked comfortable. Saw rooms with and without furniture to get an idea what can fit. Dad liked it and would make a decision after a respite stay (June) if we can get it set up. Only problem not a front reception desk. And office spaces didn't really look over the front entrance.

I really liked director, she answereed my questions as they entered my mind,before i could ask them. the facility is really nice and I like the different wings having a theme. The rooms seem nice and bright. and the clients looked happy and comfortable.

Liked the facility. Over all good impression.

toured today. very nice, pretty setting,clean. Seems unusually [removed] good and bad? Director great.

Meadowmere Northshore is my 2nd choice at this point; but, my brothers will be touring there in the next couple of weeks.

Wonderful place - very high on our list, no negatives.

Very nice. Rooms are nice size - a one bedroom deluxe would be perfect or a reg one bedroom. deposit to get on waiting list Refunded if you don't end up there. All levels - assessed and charged by month.

This was a very lovely facility and Director who we met with was very friendly and very thorough in her presentation of Emeritus. After talking with us and finding out our reason for moving our aunt she informed us that Emeritus rates were about the same, but gave us some great information concerning the veterans. She was a delight and everyone was very friendly to us.

Very convenient. More like a hotel, but rooms still nice. Price seems lower with similar care offerings.

6.0 miles (13 minutes) from our home. 2nd Assisted Living Facility facility we visted. The facility shares an entrance drive with a high-end residential neighborhood of 1 story zero-lot type homes similar to Dot's. All well maintained with expensive cars parked around the homes. No traffic concerns or about the neighborhood declining around the facility. The facility is all on one-story which is a benefit. Doesn't have a grand entrance as you enter into a large area that immediately opens to the dining area. We visited at lunchtime so we saw most of the residents. Most all were highly independent, dressed well and interacting with each other at the table areas. Caregivers were assisting some in and out of the area and they all knew and spoke with the director who was touring us. He did not call all of the residents by name though he did speak with them. Quality of facility and rooms were similar to the first facility but not quite as nice. Large common areas are used for activities and watching large screen TV. Level of care seems comparable to 1st facility, but less entertainment, not quite as fancy. Still nicer than what I was expecting. We were toured by Executive Director and he is very very knowledgeable of assisted living business and very caring of all residents. We toured several apartments (all nice) and met with a lady who kept talking about how wonderfull the place was. Her apartment was lovely with furniture she chose from her 10 room house. She stated she could have chosen any assisted living facilities in the area and chose here because it's most like living at home with an extended family and staff that love and care for you. Doesn't feel like you're in a hotel like other higher priced facilities. This facility is part of FiveStar Senior Living and pricing is mid-tier; no hidden costs. One time move-in fee is $1,000, but the director agreed to waive $500 because Dorothy's a vet.

Beautiful setting, rural and quiet. 75% of facility smelled of urine. The Memory Loss unit looked the best I've seen, all residents happy and participating in activities.
