Cogir Senior Living

My father is here currently and things are going as well as can be with any big life transition. The staff have been very helpful and open to questions and suggestions, and helping me get him as settled as possible. The facility itself is much older than some of the others we looked at but is clean and comfortable, feels as much like a home as possible and is maintained well. Since it is a bit older, the apartments are a little larger than some of the newer places we looked at. They have a regularly scheduled bus that will take everyone out to grocery stores, banks, Target, things like that, and sometimes they’ll go out to lunch or go for long drives, and they are open to suggestions by residents for new places to go. There’s also a driver on the staff that can take people to doctors’ appointments. The community itself has movies, a walking club, exercise, and there are multiple activities going on each day if residents want to participate. Location wise, it is on the edge of a lovely park with walking paths, and also close to coffee shops and restaurants which are very convenient when family is visiting. The only negative that I’ve experienced is that there was a bit of a staff change in the medical department and communications with that area have been difficult, but overall it's been a positive experience and I would recommend visiting to others looking for senior living.

My mother lives at Silverado Peoria and, overall, the experience had been pretty good. Generally, the staff is excellent, and they do pretty well complying with our requests. The community is clean and well-maintained with no strange odors. They do also have activities for the residents to enjoy, and I like that it is very close by. We have been trying to get a new wheelchair for my mother and it has taken some time for the staff to get the process going. I had to mention it again to them a couple of weeks ago, and it seems they are beginning to process the request. As far as meals go, they don’t have a lot of variety for those with special diets. My mother is diabetic and gluten free. They are constantly giving her chicken breast because they don’t have other suitable options. Despite these couple of issues, our experience with Silverado has been generally positive.

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 mother has recently moved into this community and so far everything has been going well for her. The staff are excellent people and I could not have picked a better group of people to care for her. She has been eating very well and loving her time in the dinning room with the other residents. I am also impressed to see her participating in a few of the activities they have to offer. Overall this was the perfect fit for her and I would recommend it to anyone.

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.

We approached SeniorAdvisor.com when my elderly mother needed to transition out of a skilled nursing facility. They set us up with interviews at several locations and we made the final decision to go with Sunrise Living Center. Sunrise employees went above and beyond to assist us with touring the facility and getting the paperwork together. They arranged for her arrival on very short notice over a weekend, and got mom all set up in a very lovely room. The facility is well maintained with décor that makes it feel like home. The care givers on the reminiscence floor are absolutely outstanding. They are kind and patient, especially given the varied and unique situations of memory care residents. They take the time to discuss mom's special needs and involve us in her care plan. It is clear that they truly care about the residents.

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 is a pretty nice place. It is better for my parents, they have a lot of staff there helping my parents. I like the way it is set up and my parents can pick their own schedule. The meals are good with enough variety. The neighborhood streets are wide and simple for my dad to drive through. When I toured, they took you right in like a guest. We did what everybody else was doing. It was more friendlier and warmer and they are looking out for the family. Once we were there we knew it was the one.

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.
