Cogir Senior Living

Great location. Very nice facility. Caring, compassionate staff, A place to call home!

Andara was fantastic. The people there are just wonderful. The amenities and services they provide are just the top. During the Covid period, they were doing a lot of virtual activities. Also, when my loved one passed, they were absolutely wonderful and easy to deal with. They helped me in terms of cleaning out her apartment. I donated a lot of furniture. They made everything so easy for me, and there was no friction. They refunded the unused portion of the pre-paid rent. So in a time of dealing with the trauma of a loved one passing, I really appreciated how they handled everything. I think there's two crisis points for families: 1) finding a place for your loved one's care, and 2)exiting that place when a loved one passes. And going through both of those points with Andara was such an enormous relief.

Even though my loved one was there for a short amount of time. This was a good solution for our family and our loved one. We were able to have window visits with our loved one, and our time was during the pandemic.

They are friendly and helpful here. The food was very delicious and you had several choices to choose from. The communication was pretty good, and on occasion there was miscommunication with the staff.

Our experience so far has been very good, we can not think of another better place. The staff is fabulous everybody right down to the house keeping they just go way above and beyond. We would recommend this community to anybody. Our only complaint which is not really a complaint at all would be the food. In the beginning it was being delivered because of the pandemic and our loved one being in self-quarantine for two weeks. They were not prepared with thermal plates, so the food would be delivered not as warm as he desired. However, the dining room is back open now so that situation has been fixed, and the food is overall pretty good. From what we can tell, they try every hard with the activities and in the scheme of things we do think the value for cost is very fair.

The community has some inside activities going on now, our loved one has been able to meet new people. We do think the value is pretty good. Her room is a decent size it is perfectly adequate and has a full kitchen so she is able to cook her own meals. We would recommend The Lofts community to others.

I did a virtual tour with Atrium Village, and it was someone who took us around and showed us the facility rather than a recording. It looked like a very nice place with a lot to offer, such as a swimming pool, movie theater, etc. I did not choose this facility because the move in price was higher here than at another one I saw, and also the location was further away from my doctors' offices.

Mom really liked this place. They are in the process of remodeling so the rooms are all remodeled. All common areas downstairs are done. They seem to meet her needs the best. Now to convince her to move before the house sells.

Our tour at Emerald Pond was good. My loved one probably would have ended up going here, but it was just too far away.

We toured Park Terrace and it was extremely nice, they were in the middle of remodeling when we were here. They seemed to be doing a lot of activities despite covid going on unlike some other places we saw that were shut down. It was just a wonderful place.

We take care of a person who was bedridden at home with 24-hour care for years. We finally decided to move her to a facility because we were concerned about a single aide being able to help her in case of an earthquake or fire. Selecting Monarch Cottage gave her a new lease on life! The staff encouraged her to get out of bed and into a wheelchair, and although it was very difficult for her at first it has made an incredible difference. She is now able to be with others throughout the day and participates in the various activities such as music and exercise. She is surrounded by loving, caring staff, and is happier and more engaged than we thought possible. The facility itself is beautiful. We feel blessed that we found Monarch Cottage and that they are taking such good care of our loved one.

One thing we liked is the location. There's a shopping center right across the street, and there's a pedestrian/walking/biking path that the residents could use adjacent to the facility. Cogir of Mill Creek was a beautiful facility, and huge. We ended up going with another Cogir - Cogir of Northgate - because it was smaller, which was nicer for our family members and easier for them to maneuver if they got confused. But we had an excellent tour at Cogir of Mill Creek. Everyone was very nice, they had good communication, and good follow-up. They were also very understanding when we didn't choose their facility. It just ended up being a little too big for our needs, and the other Cogir was closer to where we lived.

We chose Cadence because we were impressed with the staff members, the facility is close to the area where she grew up in, and the price was consistent with what we had seen. My moms room is adequate for her needs, she is in a double room but it has been private ever since she has been there. They do have some turnover of staff often but I would recommend them.

Huge and good location.

The staff is very friendly and very caring. Communication is very good between the staff and our family. They keep us well informed and up to date. The community is very neat, clean, has great food and dining, and has lots of things for the residents to do. I would recommend this community to others.

We were neck and neck with The Montecito and another facility. Their independent living apartments were beautiful and huge and it was all for a good price. I also have friends in the healthcare business who have worked here and said it is a place that they would strongly recommend to others looking. We only did not choose it because it was a little further away than another one we saw.

My Mom has been at Monarch for over a year and we have nothing but good things to say about the facility and the Monarch team. Moving her into a long-term facility is challenging in so many ways, and I know that we are not unique in this process. COVID started after she had moved in, making things very difficult for everyone, compounding everything. Monarch and its staff where able to navigate and manage the COVID pandemic and kept my mom safe. I am not sure if left on our own, if we could have done the same. The entire facility was vaccinated recently, so it appears that she made it through. I am sorry for those and my heart goes out to those who did not. I know our family can’t thank the team at Monarch enough and for the trust that they have earned 1,000% through so much hard work, risk and compassion.

Our loved one was on the memory care side and we had such a positive experience. We absolutely love the facility. The staff members were great, the care takers were great. Every time we would call for updates they would tell us what he has eaten for the day, how is feeling and what all he has done. Such a positive experience.

We toured The Pines and this was actually our favorite facility and the one we wanted to move my mom into. The only reason we did not was because they were shut down and not taking new residents in during COVID.

Really like this facility. Very inviting and felt like home. Great activity board along with the food menu. I liked that they asked residents for input in the activities and food menu. Nothing negative to say
