Ciel Senior Living

When we looked for a place to retire we chose The Meridian, partly because of the location & grounds & partly for the smaller size & friendliness of the residents. That one was set by the staff, and it still is!

Even though our loved one was only at Brookdale Meridian for a short period of time, it was a great experience. They had a lot of different activities going on like happy hours, chair yoga, bingo, live entertainment, different games and different outing during the week.

stayed in our neighborhood. friendly staff and residents.

I have been very pleased with the care my mom is receiving at HarborChase of Long Grove. The facility is between my brother and I which is nice. I went to tour the facility and I liked that it was open and decorated nicely. There were plenty of spaces where you can visit and there was no weird smells either. The one thing presented to me that means a lot is the doctor on site really digs into the medicines, so right away he noticed mom was deficient in vitamin b12 and now she gets a monthly injection for that. They have been really good about presenting reasons that mom needs to move up in levels of care and they work their best with her. Overall I would highly recommend to others looking.

I am the daughter of a resident at Huntington Place . My mother in [date removed]and we are all delighted that she is in a caring and “top notch” facility. They have an amazing staff which is friendly, compassionate, and professional. Every time I visit my mother , I am impressed with how well everything is run..Today, as I had lunch with my mother, I noticed that [name removed] the Executive Director, was helping distribute the meals and see that all the residents were attended efficiently. IShe sets a great example of leadership, professionalism, and teamwork, and her staff responds in kind. Even though [name removed] is super busy, she always takes time to answer my questions and those of the residents that I see before me. She definitely takes her job to heart and sees that every operation within the facility runs smoothly. Her patience and compassion definitely add to the success of this facility. There is no doubt my mom and all the residents at Huntington are in good hands!

the community is beautiful with many amazing activities for residents to enjoy.

It is a very attractive facility. It's upscale looking. The staff has been very kind and helpful with my loved one. It's overall a good situation.

Particularly with dementia, I have never such a caring group of people that want to honor the residents life and preserve their dignity. The staff were patient and kind, know what they are doing and how to handle all the variations of dementia. In my Dad's case, he had underlying health conditions, and finding the type of care we needed was tough. They saved his life and his brain. I cannot say it enough. This is such an underserved population. This place was an absolute godsend.

Mom is very happy at Huntington . When she presses her call button, someone responds very promptly. And with a smile! The food is amazing and her only complaint is “They give me too much!” Our family has much less stress and it’s great to visit and spend time with mom instead of taking care of chores that she no longer could do herself. We also know that if she needs help any time of day she doesn’t have to wait till one of her children can get there. The staff has been very responsive to any of our concerns. Our family and Mom highly recommend Huntington Place.”

We had a very nice tour at Brookdale Dogwood Creek, but it was very expensive. And they also had a one-time initial fee to move in that was extremely expensive.

There is a genuine overall commitment to customer service and medical care @ VSL. As a Medical Doctor I sleep well at night knowing that my Mom’s meds, PT, & emergencies have been professionally managed well x 5 yrs. VSL was great during the pandemic. In light of current vaccinations of the staff & residents, one should not be hesitant to have your loved one’s physical, nutritional, social, emotional & spiritual needs met by the VSL caregivers & become part of the “VSL Family.” My mom is 95 y/o & she never wants to leave! She loves the crafts, BINGO, singing, piano playing, local Olympic events, celebration of holidays & the monthly MD visit in her room. The driver of the van is great for taking my Mom to medical specialty & dental appointments when I am out of state. Do take a tour like I did 5 years ago & talk to the very friendly & amazing staff, especially the admin director and director of nursing. Then, admit your loved one, sleep well at night & visit as often as you can!

The staff at Five Star Premier are terrific and based on our experience so far we would without a doubt recommend this community to other families. We love the special attention and things they do for the residents. There is live music performances twice a week and even sometimes three times a week. The other day when we came to visit they even had an aromatherapy session for the residents. They have excellent medical care from the staff, psychiatrist and nutritionist.

My Dad, who has Alzheimer’s and lives in the moment, has lived at Huntington Place since October. The other day we took him out for lunch. As we were driving him back he asked us if he was going home. He meant Huntington Place! That is what it is – a home. It looks and feels like a home! As Dad walks through the hallways he looks at each painting and describes the story in it. [name removed] is driven by her love for the residents and her passion for excellent care. It sounds corny, but when you meet her and everyone (RNs, caregivers, activity Executive director, BTR director, etc) you know it right away! They read him his devotions he loves every day, provide him with opportunities to do what he loves. Bottom line, they love him like he is their own Dad and he knows it – and I know it! After these 5 months I am still amazed at how wonderful Huntington Place and this awesome family of caring people are for Dad! Carol

I have worked along side Huntington Place staff for over a year working with hospice patients. This facility is by far the BEST facility I have ever been to!! All staff truly care about their residents and they provide the best care. I have never seen staff that treat residents as if they were family, but here they do. Home cooked meals, they provide dignity and support to patients, staff is very experienced. I can not recommend a place more highly. Amazing place. Take a tour and meet the staff. They are fantastic! The facility is very nice and clean, and very well maintained. Perfect place for your loved one needing additional care. Megan K.

I like it here, I think employees are great

I have only lived here four months, however, I am VERY happy here. I am happy with the dining service A am O.K. with the housekeeping. I am very pleased with the front desk and how they are very helpful. Because of my job, I have not been able to take part in most activities. I loved the Christmas activities.

I was not too interested in this community due to the fact that it was a high rise community. We just knew that this community would not be the right fit for my loved one. The tour was good and they were very accommodating and showed us everything it was a super tour.

We really liked this community. It was a really good tour, they were very accommodating and showed us everything it was a super tour.

This community is okay. more expensive but it was a good community and they have different levels of care is needed.

We had a great tour with Brookdale Dogwood Creek. It was in our top 3 choices for sure but ended up being a little pricier than we were looking for. It seemed like a really nice facility.
