Cogir Senior Living

I really like to be outdoors and this place stood out to me the most out of the others because my room came with a balcony. I like to go outside and enjoy the sound of the school band playing next door. I’m on the third floor with the balcony and I’m nestled in the trees with a lovely view so it is very nice. They have even used my studio to show other people touring because of how nicely it is decorated. The staff there really takes care of us. They are pleasant, friendly, and always there for you. They have great communication and they are knowledgeable about what they’re doing. If there is a problem, they’re on it right away. Their cleanliness is very good too. They work on it all the time. They come once a week to do the laundry and I take my own trash out. It’s very convenient with the laundry room being right down the hall as well. The other residents are very friendly and welcoming; we always have so much fun together. There are plenty of things to do with tons of activities. The most popular is bean bag baseball and it really becomes a team effort. It gets very competitive, there are people out there that are 96 years old playing this! Everyone gets so involved and is cheering everyone else on, it’s very heartwarming. There is also bingo several times per week, exercise classes, and Zumba. The only negative thing that I would say is that they put too much salt in the food. The food itself is good, but it’s very unhealthy with how much sodium they put in. We actually have a meeting once a week with the chef and I would tell them about it and they do the best they can. I think it’s just because everyone is old and their taste buds start to go, so they add more salt for them to taste anything. The food is wonderful though, it’s flavorful and interesting. I would recommend this community to others.

I love this facility because they have a wonderful holiday travel program. They have 365 facilities throughout the US and I can stay at anyone of them for up to a week. If anything comes up like an emergency they are lenient on letting residents stay a little longer. Everything is included in the rent that you pay. The only thing you do have to pay for is gas to get you to other facilities. It is a very close, tight knit, warm community. The staff is wonderful and I like my housekeeper. She comes in weekly to clean the apartment. The chefs are excellent as well. They have decent sized meals with a lot of options for dietary needs that comes included with your rent. Even though I don’t participate in a lot of activities they do offer Wii bowling, cards, bridge, rides to the festivities in the area, and trips to go shopping. The management did change styles a few years ago and no longer have someone there 24/7 but what they did offer is a call button for emergencies. It’s a great value for what I’m paying and I would highly recommend this community.

My mom is doing fine. The move in was fine. It was going great until she sick. They are handling it well.

Staff is universally engaged, helpful, and cheerful - not one 'bad egg'. They really 'lean forward' to assist, anticipating issues and problems. Especially good 'onboarding' processes, with resident shepherds for the first couple of weeks to help new folks break in. Food is pretty good, with lunch being the weakest and most monotonous - dinner is almost always excellent. Extremely safe and clean throughout. Setting is pleasant and quiet. Excellent library - always a big help. My only criticisms: I do wish there were more activities, especially out-of-building experiences and road trips. Also, medical processes of all types for "independent" residents are kind of disjointed and uneven. It's all there - you just have to figure out how to access it. In summary, we looked at a LOT of facilities all across NOVA, over a year-long period, and selected The Virginian for a balance of reasons - I still think we got it right, for my Mom.

I also toured The Montecito, and it was a good tour. The lady that took me around was friendly and helpful. The facility itself was clean and organized. It was a good experience, but I found another place that fit mom's needs a little better.

I have no complaints about the tour I had of this community. All of the staff where friendly and helpful to my loved one and I during our tour and made sure to give us lots of great information as well as answer any questions we had for them. The building was nicely maintained and had a lot of great amenities available to all of the residents. I just found a better location for her in the end decision.

My mother told me she is happy here.She is just starting to get involved in exercise classes and she has gone on one outing. My mother is very picky about food and she really likes the meals at Brookdale. She is eating much better than she was.The people here are so kind and it is a good fit for her.

I toured Cascadian Place and it was a good tour. The facility was clean and everyone there was very friendly. It was just not the place for me.

This community seemed awesome when we took our tour. This was our second choice of a community. The community is open and it was very much what we were looking for. It is a lively and inviting community. The staff were nice and helpful.

The activities at this community are great. They offer new activities daily and they are good at explaining them. The caregivers go above and beyond and many of them have been at this community for years. The food has been great and they offer good portions. The community is clean and well taken care of. The cost is reasonable and the amenities that are included are incredible. I would recommend this community.

I moved my mom to The Terrace at Beverly Lake a month ago and could not be happier. I was a marketing manager in an assisted living community for many years, so I know what to look for. If I could give them a higher rating, I would. My mom loves her care providers, telling me more than once that they 'are so sweet'. But most importantly, I know she is getting great care, attention and activities. Even though there is no such thing as "reasonable" costs when it comes to eldercare, this is the best priced community at any level that I know of in this area. Well done and thank you!

I really like it here. Been here 2 weeks. Brookdale of Manteca California. Staff management housekeeping maintenance. Especially the food n dining staff. Residents friendly. Town great for seniors. Receptionists friendly n courteous. Management. Has all answes. If they don't they will find out. [Removed] n [Removed] my favorites. Like decorations and activities. Very fun. Love sitting by fire. Think i died n went to heaven.

My mother recently moved into this Brookdale and so far things are going very well. The place is very clean and the food that they serve is very good as far as she has told me. We have no complaints at all.

The staff at this community are nice and encourage mom to make friends. They have a nice walk outside where she can walk her dog and this has helped with her leg strength. They only thing I think that could be improved is they could use a few more activities. The food is great and they offer a variety of choices. The community is clean and I have noticed that mom has made some positive changes.

Up to this point all is going good for my mom. She has activities and amenities to choose from daily and there is plenty of them. The meals are pretty good. She likes her apartment it is enough for her to personalize it. This was the home for mom based on the general impression I got while touring, the people, and the fair price. I also like that it is owned by company, a little more organized.

My mom is happy in the community she is in. She likes the meals that is served so far. They have plenty of activities to keep her busy, that is a good thing and she likes them. The staff are very friendly to her.

We've been extremely pleased with Clearwater Springs Assisted Living. We moved my mom in mid-October, and she has adjusted better than we could have imagined. The staff is friendly and caring, and because it's not too large of a facility, they really get to know each resident much more personally. Mom has developed some friendships, and she has become involved in a few weekly activities. The only recommendation I have is regarding the food. Mom is disappointed in several of the menu selections. I think this could be improved upon. Other than that, we are extremely pleased with the warm, cozy, inviting environment. We are so happy we found Clearwater Springs Assisted Living for my mother.

I liked this community when we took our tour. The people we met were nice and the food was good. The community seemed clean. This community was smaller and unfortunately, was not what we needed for mom. I would recommend taking a look at this community.

Mom likes living at The Montecito. The maintenance staff have been very helpful. The sales and boarding team have been great to work with. The food is good and they offer a lot of variety. They offer daily activities including bingo. They have two outdoor pools and one is heated. They offer water aerobics. All the residents seem to be friendly, kind and welcoming.

Carmel is a great facility. Mom's issues were meals, which at 93, taste buds are not like they used to be. Facility was clean, odor-free, This was her 2nd visit and she's really warming up to the place.
