Cogir Senior Living

This community offers a spin down to medicaid option. It is a nice community and the people met were friendly and knowledgeable. This community was our second choice. They do offer a lot of activities. The community we chose was a little closer to the budget we were looking for.

Food was very good, facility is lovely. People are friendly. My only objections are: Room sizes of the cottage we took- are small. Food delivery to the cottage costs $5.00 per delivery. Other than that seems what I found is fine.

The staff at the Brookdale Manteca are okay for the most part, many are very nice and experienced. There is only one maintenance man for the whole building which seems inadequate.The meals are okay but servings are small. Also seems there could be more med techs. The heat/air units are noisy and outdated. The roomsand bathroomss need an upgrade. The public areas are very nice as is the courtyard.

This looked like a pretty nice community when I visited. The community I chose, however was a little nicer. The people I met were nice.

This was one of the tours that I was not that impressed with. All of the different units my wife and I had looked at where extremely small with little to no extra space at all. Another disappointing factor was how expensive this place was. I did not think for the money they where asking it was worth it.

I live in Tennessee and came to see my mom's "new home" (my sister lives in Everett). I was with my mom anytime she was awake for 3 1/2 days. The physical structure of The Terrace is very bright & inviting, there are two fairly large rooms where the residence can gather & lots of windows. My low rating for Cleanliness is because my mom's roommate was using my mom's side of the room as a bathroom so it smelled of urine the entire time I was there. Her room was supposed to get a deep cleaning but it still hadn't been cleaned when I left, & the bathroom my mom was supposed to use needed some attention. I was a little disturbed that the residence were put in front of a movie without the sound but that was because the cables had been played with, it was fixed on Monday when they not only had the TV working but some additional guided activities. The staff is hardworking but there aren't enough of them to care for each of the residences every personal need, it was concerning that there wasn't a staff/caregiver visible when other residences needed assistance. Apparently they don't bath a resident if they are resistant so I had to offer to shower my mom myself before they would do it, & it wasn't done kindly. The staff also is in charge of serving & cleaning up the meals so they are only able to do a cursory observation of who is eating & who isn't, or help with cutting food or even fixing tea or coffee the way a residence might like. It's a fairly good place but don't expect to put your loved one there & then do nothing.

They don't have enough staff to attend to the needs of the residents.

My mother seems to have made the adjustment into this community okay and has made her self at home in her new living environment. I am a little disappointed in the organization in this facility. I have had issues with the housekeeping taking my mothers towels and not returning them and the maintenance staff has not fixed the sink and multiple other things in her apartment after I have asked them to several times.

My first experience with this community was the tour. They provided such great information and made me feel comfortable with placing my mother in there care. The activities provided are great especially the ones geared towards helping my loved one improve her memory. She has felt very safe and the environment is kept clean. I would highly recommend this place.

This community is nice, however it is isolated. It is surrounded by trees and overlooks the town. This is a new community and the staff were nice. They are near a hospital. I looked at a nice two bedroom apartment with a large porch.

This community was my brothers second choice. They enjoyed the tour that was given. I believe the people seemed friendly and appeared to have a lot of different activities. The location was not ideal, it is too far for the family.

The food is usually pretty good. The dining room tables are usually occupied by "clicks" who would rather you NOT eat with them. Dining staff are excellent. Activities are mainly geared to women, and attended by women. Movies chosen by women. I have my own car so it is easier for me. Many of the residences do not have a car and are restricted, in when they want to see doctors, shopping etc, by when the Andara transportation is ready to handle them.

The staff at Andara are nice and friendly with my mom and the family. We have noticed that the quality of the food and some of the services have cheapened up. The activities overlap so she is not able to enjoy some of the activities she likes. The community is somewhat clean however I do believe the carpets could use a cleaning as there are stains and some minor smells coming from them. It is to early to say if I would recommend this community.

My friend is currently staying at this community and she is not happy. When she moved in the staff said they will watch and help her move to assisted living when she was ready. She has let me know that she is not happy there and I am working with the community to resolve these issues. I would recommend looking into the community a little further before a loved one moves in.

My mother is doing well and the staff is great for helping her adjust to the community. This is a nice community and it is very well-kept and clean. I really like the staff they have been wonderful with all the help. They do keep the residents busy with activities through out the week. She enjoys the meals and the dining area. This is a good community with good people. So I would recommend it.

It's going okay. The food could use some improvement, though she seems to be fine with it. The only thing we would have preferred besides better food, would be a more open dining schedule. Other than that things seem fine, the people are friendly, and it seems to be pretty clean.

Overall I and my family member are very pleased with Brookdale Rohnert Park. The staff and apartments are very nice. The entire complex is well kept and clean. The quality of the food is the major complaint. Much is tasteless and not appealing. It is not the actual food itself but the preperation and variety.

They did well at having a homey atmosphere. There is a lot of stuff for the people to do. They could do a better job at communication when you fist move in letting you know the rules. My Grandma didn't like the food. I think the staff was great.

Well, they are really good with communicating. The girls are really kind to my grandmother and she feels that they really care. There is a lot of turnover, but that comes with the territory. Maintenance could be better. There are a few issues that have taken awhile to fix.

I am really pleased with the friendliness and how accommodating the staff are at Madrona Hills. The meals are good but they seem to cater too much to special diets. The food they serve is very small portioned and not flavorful. Mom is spending money on other food because she isn't getting full at the facility. I would have more choices for ones that aren't on special diets. There are times my mom wont go down and eat. I have asked if she can ask for seconds since the portions are so small. All of the residents are paying the same amount so they need to offer a selection of food that everyone likes. I love it there and love that shes there. The transition has been rough on her, but now she is into it. She is making friends and playing cards. Overall it has been a good experience, they just need to fix the food problem.
