Ciel Senior Living

My Dad is happy with it so I'm happy.

This did not seem to be for assisted living. It was gorgeous but not very easily accessible. It seemed overwhelming or overyeilding to navigate the place.

This is a very nice community, Mom is enjoying herself a lot. She is becoming quite the social butterfly, getting along well with everyone, and participating in lots of activities! The community is very active, which is especially nice for Mom. They really need to work on the food. They talked it up during the tour and it left a lot to be desired, fairly bland and not a lot of variety.

I had lunch here when I was thinking about moving my parents in. The facility is brand new and very nice. The food was very good. We liked the place, but we decided to go with one closer to me in Philadelphia.

They don't have any levels of care that I was looking for. The residents had to be able to get to and from the bathroom on their own and my mom can't do that. It was a beautiful place though. I think their one bedroom apartments started at 2500. I didn't get a chance to check if that price included meals or not.

Very nice, modern impressive place. Appears too early to be rated. Any information that can be provided to help with that would be helpful.

He likes it there, I think it's a pretty nice place and he's one of the few men that are there, there's a lot of women, but they're taking care of him. He's doing a lot better now than he was, we were pretty worried about him for awhile there and it finally dawned on him that he needed help and Huntington seems to be taking good care of him. Overall, I would say it's pretty good.

Every so often the meal planning could use some improvement, the food is very good but occassionally the planning is not what I would have preferred. For instance, they would have rice twice in a dish, like rice and vegetables and then rice in the soup. For some of is that's an issue but there are choices. The most difficult part is finding physicians and getting them, five star provides transportation to certain areas at certain times so finding one can be difficult but the guy who drives us is fantastic. There's a lot of activities, something always going on, sometimes it's hard to choose what to do.

My mother has lived here for 5-6 years. It has changed hands 2-3 times in that time period and the care and responsiveness has seemed to go down, though not hugely. When my mother first moved in, many of the employees were social workers, including the sales people and the overseer of senior life. When my mother was thinking about moving in, the sales director talked to her about waiting until she was ready and not rushing into it--no pressure, only compassion. They would talk about team staff meetings to address things like residents falling asleep in public areas. Instead, of it being a negative, they looked into why this was happening and how to help the particular residents. Now it is much more of a business model. Apartments and facilities are beautiful, but pricey. My mother lives in a large (1110 sq. ft.) apartment with 2 beds and 2 baths. Activities vary, with lots of card playing and movies (a plus for some seniors, boring for others), and some trips to restaurants, stores, museums, shows, etc. There are also 2 days a week for transportation for local errands, and 2 other days for local doctors' appointments. There is a pharmacy nearby that delivers, usually one trip to the building per day. Staff are very helpful. When residents can't open a jar, they bring them down to meals and someone opens it for them. If they can't get their cable to work, someone comes to help with that, too. There have been some issues with air conditioning not working as well as it should both in individual apartments and in common areas. At one point it seemed they were keeping the hallways warmer in the summer to save money, and some residents were actually having minor breathing difficulties with the transition of the air. Residents complain of the food not being as good any more, but I have not noticed that when I eat there. The number of choices have food have decreased and residents are not happy about that, but there are still many choices. When my mother moved in, there were "heart healthy" choices on the menu; there no longer are. One resident, told by her doctor to reduce salt content, tried to get adjusted meals, couldn't, and moved to a different facility because of this. In the years my mother has been there, the monthly price has increased from $6100 to almost $7200. New residents are actually getting nicer apartments for much less because of the economy, which also adds to the disgruntlement. On the other hand, we looked into switching apartments to downsize a bit. I assumed they would jack up the prices according to the number of years she has been there, but she was given the same price as a newcomer.

Comparable to #1 Villas and has a beautiful courtyard and outdoor spaces. Meals only provided during certain hours;only continental breakfasts. Waitlist is 3-4 months.

We were trying to get some help with my wife and we felt that the care assistance that we were getting there was not great. They didn't seem to be very well trained so that was a problem for us. Othewise the staff was nice and friendly.

The Park was very resort like. It is a really big community that is also very spread out. It was the biggest community that we looked at. They have a rain forest at the community. It was really nice but just too big for our loved ones.

lovely place for assisted living but do not like it for people with memory problems. All of their rooms,residents have their own keys. Too quiet.

I toured this community and was blown away at how beautiful this community was. I felt like I had walked into paradise! It has feel to it, I've not seen in other communities. I asked a lot of hard questions, I really wanted to make sure that this place was someplace I could see my own parent or grandparent being in. The Staff took me on a tour, showed me the difference styles of suites available. The set up of the suites are amazing, whether you need independent living or assisted living. They have safety features placed in sensible areas, very open layout - in the case mobility changes. I was very impressed. One concern I had, was for those seniors which might have to have physical therapy - they have in- house accommodations for that. The people that I placed in this community have been very impressed with the staff, their accommodations, the friendly people loving there - what more could you ask for. If this place fits into your financial requirements - I would highly recommend this community.

Took tour on 5/7/13. Beautiful facility with some interesting floor plans and pricing 'specials'. They could assist with colostomy - fees will be provided upon request since mom may have reversal.

This is the closest to me. Within walking distance. Very new, only 20 residents which can be good or bad. My Mom is the decision maker so as I see each facility I am beginning to stress the need for her to be closer to me. She has not warmed to the idea yet so I have to be patient. It has to be her idea and as long as the weather is not warm enough to convince her to take a ride to see the different places I know she will not consider a move.

24 hr. nursing on-site; can provide increased level of care; PT; 3 meals and snacks; $4000-5000 per month furnished; 350 sq. ft. ($4035);$3300 entrance fee; all utilities included. Sm. kitchenette.
