Ciel Senior Living

We visited this community when we were looking into care options for a loved one. This seemed like a nice place overall, but I don't think it would have been a good fit for my loved one. They are expensive, but they had a lot of different activities and services for that price. Unfortunately I think my loved one's care needs were too high to be able to enjoy everything they offered.

Nice but apartments are small and its a little far from family. Great amenities and price. The updates will be nice when done.

Very much like this place. Many levels of care and clean hotel like place. Friendly people, good activities and some reasonable outdoor space. Intake interview by nurse indicates that mom could be in AL, but the moment she goes shopping and gets lost, she goes to memory care and anyone carrying a dx of AD cannot live in AL. Folks there only have "senile dementia". Seems like a level of precision I don't think exists!

1st impression: lobby felt like a hotel! (built by Hyatt, we later found out). Apt. layouts - & views! - were appealing, also guest policies. Mid-day, the place was almost a ghost-town... (everyone was out and about, we were told - with their schedule of multiple bus outings daily). A plus: partnership with the college next door.

The people at Bella Vista did a really good job introducing us to the facility and helping us understand what the experience would be like for my mom. The facility itself is really nice, and very comfortable. You can tell the residents are very happy. The move-in process was a little bumpy and not as smooth as I would have liked, and there could have been better communication there. The biggest thing I can think of where they could improve would be the service in the dining area. Mom has complained about that several times, and I agree that it could certainly stand improvement. Overall though we are very happy with our decision to move mom into Bella Vista.

I don't think they communicate between the staff very efficiently, if at all. It's clean, but I think some of the care can suffer due to communication. The response time hasn't been great, but they are working on it. When it comes to the food, the generation that is there is a meat and potatoes generation, and the chef isn't a meat and potatoes kind of person. They have plenty of entertainment. I liked that they offered 24 hour nursing, and when I first walked in the building every staff member looked me in the eye, and made an effort to speak with us, as well as the way they treated the resident while I was there. There was a level of respect that others didn't always have.

My mom has lived in the community for several years. She does not require much assistance. I chose this place for several reasons.....location, peace of mind , and so my mom has a social surrounding. I am there often and the staff is very friendly. Everyone seems to have different experiences depending on the needs of their parent/s. I have brought up any issues I have encountered and they have responded to them in a professional manner. One concern I have is that there are not as many outings since the community has grown. It is difficult for the staff to plan these types of outings as the needs of the patients are varied. (physically and mentally). I don't have any other facility to compare.

Nice facility, friendly people. Looks comfortable for our parents.

This is a clean, quiet place, but did not have that extra 'home' feel to it although I did tour during a quiet time. The cost was about average to slightly higher than other options we considered.

Very much like this place. Many levels of care and clean hotel like place. Friendly people, good activities and some reasonable outdoor space.

There are a few of the staff that are a little better than others. I think the food is great mom would have something else to say, but I would give it a four. They have plenty of activities going on. We chose this for the value aspect, ultimately.

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for a loved one. It's a nice looking place, very clean and well kept, and the staff all seemed very friendly and professional. The price was on the higher end compared to others that we saw, however.

There are a lot of activities to do. They’re still under construction and I don’t know when it will be over. You have to be prepared for construction. The laundry service is good – they just put in new washer which has helped a lot.

Everyone has to make their own family decision. You have to go and look. There is enough parking. There haven’t been any complaints about the laundry service. We mostly chosen because of the location.

My loved one liked the food and then they changed the chef, so now I don’t know anymore. There is an outside area for her to enjoy nature in. She hasn’t really complained about anything. She seems happy there.

Everything seems to be going well so far. They were more affordable that some of the other places we saw. The only issue is with the food, I'm not sure what's going on, it takes a really long time to get served. They are working on it though. The people were really working with us to get in. They are very clean and friendly. They are quick to respond to any concerns that come up. They do a pretty good job of having activities available.

We really liked this one, but it was quite a bit more expensive than the place we chose. It was clean and nice, but the floor plans weren't as open as where we chose.

the Park in Plainfield has become home to my father in law. He feels comfortable in his new surroundings and has made new friends. He enjoys meal times and "mingle" activities. He's also taken part in holiday events. The caretakers are friendly and have taken the time to get to know him on a personal level. His apartment is kept clean and his personal needs are met.

They are pretty good with taking care of him for the most part but, I think they are a little slow in responding to a call button, and I think they are understaffed. They are clean and friendly. He has transport service, and when they bring him back to his apartment they help him get situated, but sometimes they don't put the wheelchair or walker nearby, and he is trapped in his chair, that is a concern. I have spoken with the activity director and there just aren't any activities. They watch dvd's and watch exercises on the dvd. Even when the weather is more decent they don't do outings. We really liked the price and location. He can age in place and if he needs extra care you can have extra care, but they have their own preferred pharmacy and hospice.
