Cogir Senior Living

The very first time I walked into this place I knew I wanted to live here. The residents very very friendly and made me feel right at home. The Apartment that was available for me was very spacious and it even has its own little fenced in little patio. The activities are numerous and just the right number and variety for me.

My loved one is very happy here, we feel so lucky to have found this place. The staff and residents are all very friendly, and she's met many new people! The facility itself is older and could use a bit work, which is why I knocked it down half a star, but in comparison to how well everything else is working its only a minor inconvenience!

The administrative and nursing staff are excellent. The director is very involved in directly getting acquainted with my parents. The only complaint my parents really have is the food is not as good as the place they were previously. It's okay, but not the gourmet restaurant-style food and presentation they prefer. And this to me, is not a huge priority.

I've been enjoying this place quite a bit so far! The only complaint I really have is that it is tough deciding which items from my larger condo I want to bring with me here. The staff have all been super, very friendly and professional. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. The facility itself is always very clean, although it is beginning to show its age. The food has been good, although it could be better. It seems to vary in quality from month to month.

Very, very nice, just out of my price range. The dining room, the food was gourmet. The marketing person was very nice and the tour was great. The residents were very welcoming. The apartments were large, even for memory people. There were a lot of military retirees which I was drawn to because I was in the Air Force for twenty years. Everything was in one building, assisted living and memory support.

Everyone has been so helpful and friendly. I'm glad that they were willing to work with my friend on her issues of smoking. This generation of seniors have been smokers for most of their lives. Emeritus at North Bay offered real options and solutions to the problem of senior care.

too expensive @ $257/day private room = $7700/month -- sounds very nice, won't open until 3/1/14? but won't fit our budget

I was very upset to have to put my mother in memory care but the staff and place at Orchard Pointe made the transistion so easy. ALL the staff are caring with the residents, you can see that they really enjoy working there and taking care of the residents. Most of all my mother loves being there, the meals and quality of care is outstanding. i am so blessed to have found this place. I cannot say enough good things about the place .

My mother-in-law is in independent living, not assisted living so she doesn't get any of the care but what she has is good. If she needs something she is cared for. She plays bingo, sit down zumba, the plays Wii. My only suggestion would be to have more meal flexibility and options. You have to sit and eat a certain time and their Sunday schedule is sandwiches and things like that if you don't do brunch.

I was very pleased except it was too far away. My mom was in the transitions unit which is for early dementia. Staff is friendly, caring and involved.

My father-in-law was here previously. It was very big. A very nice place. He had a nice apartment with a his own kitchenette. He had to eventually move out because of the dementia that he has - The Montecito does not offer any memory care. The only thing he would do is go down for the meals, and he would eat whatever he wanted because it wasn't supervised. They always had cookies and candy out. He has diabetes and his health was deteriorating. Since then, he has moved to a smaller community, and his health has really improved.

This was a special unit for the memory impaired. I didn't think my father was quite ready for that level of care yet. The place was clean the staff was just bubbly! The people that live there were well taken care of. The workers were very attentive to the people that live there.

I like it. We took my mom out of an assisted living and move her into the independent living here at Orchard Park. We still had to hire a certified nurses assistant to care for her and we're still saving like $500 a month compared to the other place. It's an independent living so the care is separate, besides the dining hall. So far we really like it. My mom is really happy there. They have wider halls and it's newer building. It's really nice.

My dad is there. There is a little room for improvement but not much. We're really happy with them. My dad probably needs a little more nursing care than most of their people there. I don't think they have an actual nurse there, they're all caretakers, so whenever he does need a nurse we have to hire someone to come in. I think it would be nice if they had a nurse on duty and the bathroom is a little tight for a handicapped person but that's about it for improvements. Pretty much every body's attitude is really good. They really seem look out for him. He's not just left alone. I would definitely like to see him spend a little less money but it's a good place. If I was older and I needed assisted living I would definitely consider Emeritus for myself.

Everything's fine, I have nothing to compare it to. It's a nice place and everything is just satisfactory as far as I can tell. The activities are fun, the food is excellent, the staff is very friendly, I think for the ones who are there, the care is fine. This one looked exactly like what she wanted so she moved in.

The staff at Orchard Pointe made my mother feel comfortable and cared for in the last weeks of her life. The staff was compassionate, caring and professional. I will always be grateful to them.

Maintenence request and all that is really good, it's fast, they only reason I didn't rate them a 5 is because of the timing. They have two live ins that manage the property and one fo the couples had been moved to another palce so the past month has been a struggle for the staff while they wait for the new managers to get there. They constantly have stuff going on, my mother doesn't really participate but they have an activities director. They're very attentive to the people, the know the poeple and the managers, right when you get on board they get to know you and they get me apprised on things. My mother is inbetween independent living and assisted living and the only reason she can live here is because they have an arrangement with a home care place and they have so many patients that use them so they're there all day.

The didn't have a room so quickly available (we had 3 days) but I liked it very much. I know they have a lot of Parkinson's things going on there, if we had more time we probably would have gone here, it was also more expensive.

It's great, I'm very happy there. The stratford ahs been meeting my needs fine, I really can't say any more than it has everything I need, they let me alone if I want to be alone, if I want to do something they have activities, the foods good and it's exactly what I needed and good for somebody that lives alone. The offer is always out there for people to come and stay for a couple of nights, try the food, and that's really the only way you can compare it to the other living communities out there. I went to this one first with the intent of going to others, they just offered everything I needed and I didn't need to look any furthur.

A true 5 star!!!***** I was looking for a home for my 85 year old Mother who has dementia and I believe I found the perfect spot for her at Redwood Heights. My first communication was with Rosalind and what an amazing lady. She spent over an hour on the phone with me and finally 2 years later and many, many phone calls and tears we finally got mom situated in her new beautiful home. I had looked at many others but they just didn't have that warm fuzzy feeling like Redwood Heights. It wasn't an easy task and we are still trying to get her acclimated. Every employee and staff member that we have come in contact with has been awesome. They have gone above and beyond trying to help Mom and believe me it has not been easy. She has wandered off a couple times and they have been spot on to get her back to her room and calmed down. From Mike, to Rosalind to Michelle, Gloria, Rhonda, Aaron, Scott, Vanessa, Jessica, Debra, etc. I can't even remember all of them but let me just say that we love all of them. Mom is not easy and they have made her feel so at home and she always says, "I love it here and everyone is so nice"! I would absolutely recommend Redwood Heights!
