Ciel Senior Living

It has been a great experience for me and her so far. The take initiated in each and every person. They have a few activities and the food is good. It is kind of on the expensive side but you also pay for what your getting. I dont really have any complaints right now.

Beautiful, modern, energetic, well-staffed, safe, and classy! Costs may be problematic, but definitely on our short list of possible communities. We will definitely be considering this location.

They are doing a good job. It's clean, and the staff is attentive. My only concern is that the laundry facilities we were shown when we toured, are only for the staff. The laundry facility that she has to use is much further, and she has gotten a little lost. There are no issues with the food so far. They have a great variety of activities. Everything else is good, it's just the laundry thing.

My mother has been there since the beginning of February. It was a very difficult transition, as she did not know she had to go until a few days before. The staff at Solana is very welcoming, very personable and very helpful. They greet each resident by name, every time they see them. They are always watching to see who needs attention. I am very confident that my mother will be well taken care of. Is it perfect? No. But neither was the care that I was able to provide in my own home. While it has been difficult, it was absolutely the right thing to do for her and for us. I would and have recommended Solana to friends and family.

Glad we chose this facility.

Been really good all staff very helpful and knowledgable regarding the father in law. Everything is clean in the all the living areas proper housekeeping . He takes care of himself except for medications. Looked at a few facilities and they felt to fancy and father in law doesn't like that the Meridian is fancy without the fancy.

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.

We visited this community when we were looking into care options for a loved one. I thought this seemed like a nice place overall, it was clean and well kept and the staff were friendly. It's worth a look if you're searching in the area!

This is a nice place but the activity areas lack by comparison to the Westland location. There is a nice park behind the building and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Overall I think things have gone well with Village at Lowry. The facility itself is nice looking, well kept, and clean. The staff have all been friendly, and they do a good job looking after the people who live here. One issue that we have run into is miscommunication regard information, depending on who you ask you will get different answers to the same question. But overall it is a nice place, and worth a look if you're looking into care in the area.

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.

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.

we are still evaluating the Village at Lowry. It seems the eating schedule is a little different. I don't think they have a set schedule. My Mom wasn't sure when dinner time was and she happened to walk into the dining room, where everyone was eating already and were almost done and she wasn't able to get any food at all, because she was late... She said she didn't say anything. Perhaps they are a little understaffed. There are some issues that we are resolving that we are working through.

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.

My experience with The Solana Germantown was not the best. We weren't able to move in due to a change in health, so we were unable to get our deposit of $3,000 back. I was not happy about that.

Eating schedules are weird. Disorganized. Unerstaffed

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.

The place is LOVELY in decor and cleanliness. The maid service for my family member's floor is less than desireable but we have not complained yet. The food is fabulous. The problem I have with this place is none of the staff seems to be on the same page. People are uninformed. I believe this is a leadership failure from top and departmentally too. Staff does not return calls in a timely manner. I wish there was a nurse avaialable as we were sold on the fact that there was a nurse available but who knows. I don't know how this place compares to other independant living places but there are seniors suffering in independant living from isolation and I don't think they notice. TIf you are healthy then this independant living is the place for you. I can NOT comment on assisted living as I do not know.
