Cogir Senior Living

This was a very nice place, my Mom was here for 2 years before her needs advanced beyond what they could provide. Everyone was friendly, and it created a very nice social atmosphere. The care that they did provide was good, although there was not much care available after dinner time, and Mom ended up needing more 24 hour care as her dementia advanced.

This facility is very clean - looks brand new. Cathy provided information and tour. The staff was very friendly and greeted residents by name. A lot of activities provided and restaurant looked very nice too. One bedroom included stove and refrigerator. Only drawback noticed was shower only - no tub.

I would highly recommend Glenwood Place. The staff there are friendly and wonderful. They make every effort to call residents by name and to meet them where they are!

Toured several retirement communities in the area for my 85 year old dad. Chose Harvard Square because they seemed genuinely friendly and seemed to offer good value and nice living/assistance options. The food is also excellent. We have not been disappointed (much to my surprise). Dad likes it a lot, as do I. Staff is very caring and friendly. Residents are nice and like to get out & meet each other, yet respect others' desire for privacy. The staff offers lots and lots to do. There's a nice library, a beautiful sunny deck, and nice walking paths/park nearby. The assistance staff is very nice and helpful as well. I am really happy we chose Harvard Square.

My dad used to live here and it was great. It was a real good value. The people were great and the activities were very good too but my father needed a greater level of care than they could provide. I would rate them fives across the board! They had great food and good space. Dad had a one bedroom apartment. It was really nice and affordable.

I would recommend it to anyone. I am just really impressed. I went to every place in the area. They were the most expensive, but it is really clean and everyone is so happy. They are smiling and the food is good - I ate there too. I really liked how the resident were treated. It is new and there is always so much going on. They do bingo and activities. This is a big difference from where she was before.

Everyone has been very helpful and friendly at The Seville. My dad says the place has a good feeling about it. He enjoys the musical concerts and other entertainment.

Earline I have lived here for three months and just love it. Very clean, the food is great with many choices for each meal. Many activities daily to do. Kind caring staff. The beauty shop is so good. Laundry room is convient. Apartments are very roomy, clean carpet, nicely painted. Handyman will come and fix anything, quickly. Its a great place to live, and everyone is so very nice

This facility has been great for my mom!

My mom's really happy there, well, she likes the fact that everybody's so friendly and the food is GOOD and the managers are REALLY great. Last week I went over there almost every night because she was getting settled in and I was really surprised about how good the food was. If you want to be busy you can be busy all the time, they have everything from bingo to movies to opera nights to shuttles that will take them places and mom's been signing up for stuff and I was amazed. She had an apartment before and she she pretty much kept to herself and now she's going out all the time, it's like she has a new lease on life.

It's very clean, they're doing good there. They're very friendly, my sister seems to be very pleased about it, the only thing she complains about is the food. I think they may be having a little bit of difficulties with keeping up with the wait staff; sometimes it's a little late in coming but in general I think she's happy with it, she says the breakfast is very good. I'm sure most people have the same complaints with institutional food, after awhile it all starts to taste the same. I got her to start doing yoga and I think she's starting to do some of the other exercising things. I know she at least goes on Monday, but sometimes she goes on the bus to the theater or Rite Aid or other things like that. The yoga instructor I sometimes have as a sub at the Y so she's good and my sister has been taking advantage of their classes like that. I think she's done a bingo thing but my sister has a pretty good personality, she understands how to get along with the people there and how to make friends and keep friends so that's a benefit to her. I thought it was a good deal and her physical therapist and social worker all thought Carmel Place was great.

The cleanliness is excellent, the staff has been excellent. They have had a couple of management changes and I hope that stabilizes. When we went to first meet with them in May there was one couple on their way out and one coming in. Well that couple just left to go back to Statesville but what they have told the residents is that they plan on coming back to Pinecrest to live, so that was a nice compliment. My parents said that they're working on getting a set of co-managers so I hope that turnoever will stabilize. The managers they have now are excellent, the staff is excellent, the kitchen staff serves nice meals and the director of activites is wonderful. It's much closer to conviniences and there's a big VA clinic that's very close to Pinecrest. This has proved to be the most cost friendly for mom and dad and having the amentities. They have been really happy, they've enjoyed getting to know the other residents, there are many more males there, the ratio of males to females is like 40:60 and a number of them are veterans. They're pleased, we're pleased and we don't have to worry about them as much. If something happens there are pull cords and someone will be there to check on them, they may still have to go to the hospital, but someone will be there.

Great community and close to home - free limo service $3750 month with $500 deposit - gave then $500 towards move in Nov 15th

It's absolutely perfect the whole place. It's run beautifully. They're very friendly. They know everybody by name and I don't know how many people are total here, I think about 150. This place was build for senior living, not a building that people jumped in and converted it for senior living. Brookdale is the one who runs it. You can't go wrong here - it's great! I think there's a waiting list started. There are tons of activities - they just had the last pool party of the year. The have Wii bowling and I play bridge. They have all types of games and puzzles and all sorts of community interaction which is good. I also really like that everybody has a washer/drying in their apartment so you don't have to try and beat people to a laundry room.

A Place for Mom was extremely helpful in finding a retirement community that would meet my father's needs along with being very affordable and in close proximity to where I live. This placement involved moving my father from Ohio to California, and I began my search knowing what type of retirement place he had in Ohio and how I would have to meet those requirements at a minimum. Emeritus at Rohnert Park EXCEEDS everything he had in Ohio from its Anytime Dining with ability to request food not on the menu be prepared if the kitchen has it, resident-focused concern for health and happiness, a swimming pool & jacuzzi open 365 days/year, and plenty of different types of activities to choose from on a DAILY basis. From his visit to check it out once I recommended it to him, until his move-in, and through his residency today, my father has been EXTREMELY happy! His entire mood has improved and he is a much more joyful person than he was in Ohio. I HIGHLY recommend Emeritus at Rohnert Park, and A Place For Mom for their assistance in helping me find this wonderful community.

It was phenomenal! It's independent living so you have to hire your own help separate from Carmel Place. They did do housekeeping and that was excellent. Overall, they were amazing. The management team was indredible and everyone was friendly. They really made and effort to get you involved and get you going. The food probably could have improved. My mom just got to a place where she needed more care. I wish my mom could have stayed there. They were really special people.

This is the best place for seniors and would be the best place for your parents. They are just the best place to get this level of care. They are very attentive and it is almost like not being in an assisted living community but more like a luxury hotel. I would highly recommend this community to anyone.

It was too expensive, it's not worth the cost and I still don't know how they can get away with what they charge for rent. My aunt was really happy because she was close to the nurses station and she had only one person at her table so everything was very calm. Each floor has its own dining room, Washington House is like the Ritz compared to the Mariott. The activities were probably great but my aunt didn't participate because she just wasn't interested. The location is nice because it is pretty close to Washington DC and close to Alexandria so it was easy for me to visit as often as I wanted.

I'm happy and I think we're getting out money's worth. My peace of mind is worth it. It seems like the acitivities are good but I don't really know because my parents aren't very active. They email me every week and keep me posted so that's great. I would say that people, if they don't know what questions to ask, they don't ask them. I don't think that finacially we would have been able to get my parents in to Harvard Square because I didn't know about VA benefits. Ask questions about the VA benefits because as it turned out, it was very doable. Everyone there is just so sweet. The dining is more like a reastaurant. It doesn't feel like a dining hall which I think is more dignified for them. You order off of a menu that changes all the time. Within 3 minutes I knew that this was the place. It's fabulous.

I don't know if we've spent enough time there yet, but so far, so good.
