Cogir Senior Living

My mother transitioned from her home to Cedar Creek's assisted living. Being mostly independent, she was happy to downsize, live closer to family, explore new hobbies and meet new friends. She found all these here, and got along with staff, making close friends with some of them over common interests and hobbies. I think if a resident feels comfortable with the staff and management, they'll feel the support of the community. I recommend being with the resident during meals and events to see how they feel about the food, events and comforts because you'll want them to age comfortably.

As a friend and a sister, we visited Solista on behalf of an out-of-state resident who will need assisted care when she moves to Wilmington. We liked the facility and the marketing rep for the assisted living services office on the 2nd floor. However, the marketing rep for Solista itself lost our good will when he said to us: “Well, you’ve been talking for an hour and a half; now it’s my turn.” We were NOT talking about sports or the weather; we were NOT on a social visit! We were talking about Solista’s suitability as a home for our dear friend/sister! Recommending a choice for what might be her forever home is not idle talk! Despite his unprofessional attitude, we haven’t ruled Solista out. We liked it, but right now it’s only our Second choice. We want to make sure we’re making a thoughtful, informed recommendation that’s not unduly influenced by the unfortunate exchange we had with one particular marketing rep.

Visit went well. I was provided a pretty detailed amount of cost information. The facility was very spacious and clean. The eating menu had a lot of variety. The apartments were of decent size and equipped with safety devices for calling caregiver. Place is a bit on the expense side, but may be worth it.

Professional, helpful staff. Employees take time to provide information about the facility and are always available to answer questions.

Going very well. Very friendly environment. Seems like a few activities everyday. They have been great. Food/meal service could be improved, very slow. Only one elevator seems to annoy residents. I would rate Solista 4.5. Thank you for encouraging us to go this way. Fyi- it seems to be very veterns favorable. Maybe that's in every place but they all seem to be very supportive of vets and spouses

So far, my experience at Sunrise has been great & am very happy to have moved here. Seriously consider coming here. But, look around, and then come here, it's what I did and felt Sunrise to have a lifestyle more closely reflecting my personal requirements.

The price is very high because it is no different than living in a motel without kitchen. The only appliance is a refrigerator. Washer and dryer are down the hall. Believe the rent is twice the value. Old building built from 2 motels plus extra mid section which includes the dining room, gym, and other rooms for vitality gatherings. The are actually very pleasant.

I think they are overall good...but slow to repair any problems is the room. And I am concerned about the changes in the food. Not what it was 6 weeks ago. Less protein over all and fewer choices. Also breakfast is now a buffet...not getting what you want. scrambled eggs often.

Solista is a fine place. The residents enjoy many activities that they offer, along with their own interests. Management and employees try hard to please everyone as best they can. I am glad to reside here, and have no plans on moving out! Very clean and nicely landscaped.

What we like the most about the community is the friendliness of their staff, the food and being able to stay onsite as a visitor. No improvements I can think of.

The only issue I have is that they have not hung my mom's pictures on the wall yet. I would recommend others and my mom loves it there. and that is all I cared about.

The facility was calm and felt peaceful when I arrived. I was greeted by a very helpful staff member who took me and my friend on a tour of the facility. I inspected several apartments that were available. I loved the ones facing the great outdoors, but with my cats accompanying me - I think an inner apasrtment would keep them calmer. Or if the apartment is on the outer side, then no access to a patio or deck (kitties love to jump up and over a fence). In general, the atmosphere was calm and gentle. I'll be back ....

Staff was very friendly and professional, the place was kept very clean, it was very nice. The only thing was the food was very very boring and I found an apartment for half the price. I am still very capable of taking care of myself and not ready for that type of a community at this point in my life.

I was promptly greeted upon entering. The person who was giving me the tour came out quickly and we went in and talked about the location and some of the reasons why I was there. After that, we did a nice tour of the facility. We then went back into the office and went over the costs and some of the factors that affect the costs. Overall, my visit went well.

Nice facility, dad's room was very nice but he hated the food. I would recommend. But the food really does need improvement.

I came in shortly after my husband passed away approximately four years ago I have lived in Madera several years. I still own my house so my children can come there and be in their home. I can then come & go from Cedar Creek to my house and be in my own environment while they’re in town. I find Cedar Creek comfortable nicely run, giving us enormous opportunities to advance our own personal needs transportations available. Employees are quite friendly, social receptive and available. I find no other place I would rather be. My family lives far away, There’s no one here for me to go home too. We do our family gatherings on Zoom in my room. I have a lovely apartment warm & pleasant. I have a certain amount of freedom. My meds are always available as needed, and I am on a relatively relaxed visual. I’m able to do what I want to do within reality, of course at my age therefore I find I would have no reason to want to move.

The staff turnover after merger impacted some of these scores. However, what we like the most about the community is that it is one of the most beautiful buildings and surroundings we've seen - incredibly quiet. Very high end furnishings - like a luxury resort

My husband and I toured Merrill Gardens for his mother. We really liked the place and hope that his mother decides to move there. [removed names] are very nice, informative and friendly. I just wish it wasnt on a busy street and had more areas to walk and shop.

The food could use some improvement, staff is friendly, price increases yearly are pretty steep and don't feel they are worth it for what is received. The facility could use updating, facility is surface clean but could use a deep clean. Apartment sizes are good but need updated.

The residents are all so friendly and just like one big family. Everyone knows everyone and interacts. The staff is right there for anything. Always helpful and supportive informative. The food is very good but the best part is the variety they offer. You can choose the feature meal, the residents favorite meal or a light fare each evening. The room size is perfect. However we did pick the larger one bedroom. Having pets is a blessing as you age. All the on sight businesses are convenient and so helpful. When something breaks in an apartment it is fixed quickly. The added offerings, cable, activities, food, are convenient and wonderful.
