Cogir Senior Living

The activities director is amazing. She goes out of her way to visit with and invite my dad to activities. The community relations people are great. Sometimes phone calls and emails aren't responded to in a timely manner. That part is frustrating. My advice is to be persistent. When faced with hospice care, the nursing director really came through for us.

Holiday The Seville is working out great for my mom.

The only complaint, that my loved one has is that they only have one maintenace person, and it takes awhile to handle requests. They check on people, if they know that they are not going down for meals. They do housekeeping once per week. It's an old building but they keep it fairly updated. They are all friendly. They are always very attentive. My loved one does not really like the food, but they have a new chef, so hopefully it gets better. Compared to other facilities, the value for the money is reasonable, considering that they offer three meals per day.

Mallard landing was a second choice, but they didn't have 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom units. She and her husband need to have a toilet available at any given moment.

It was helpful to narrow the search for places that had independent to assisted living.

The interaction with the staff has been good. There has been a lot of turnover with the kitchen staff, so there is room for improvement with the food services. They don't have a regular commited plan for the bus services, so they need to consider a back-up plan. It's a safe and clean community, and they have been helpful to my loved one.

I have been to Cadence multiple times for events that they have had, the staff there is great and very presentable. there is not a time I went by and was not greeted by someone. I have also had the opportunity to talk to some residents there and they seem so happy. One thing I love is when the seniors are treated with dignity and respect. This is the place.

I have met nice people and most of the employees are really friendly. Some go above and beyond and don’t make you feel like a problem. They do not make me feel guilty for needing help. Best place to be!

My tour at Bayside Terrace was amazing. The place had a home feeling to it. I noticed the residents look out for each other . They spend lots of time out amongst the other residents . The grounds are beautiful.

For what the facility does, it is pretty good.

The staff is great. They are dedicated to the residents and flexible to make the best choices for each resident's particular needs.

Overall things are going pretty well. She got a great deal when moving in, they had a special going on we could not pass up. There is a lack of parking. It is down a small hill and there is only parking in front. On a day with a lot of visitors you don't really have any options since it is on a busy street and you cannot park along the street. I would say this facility is definitely worth looking into.

Brandywine Living community itself is vey clean but there could be more house keeping within the apartments - maybe even just twice a week would make a difference. It is a pet friendly community and they have a nice dog park area which is one of the reasons we picked this community. Also the apartments were bigger then other apartments we saw at different communities. Our loved one have done a few activities but their dog keeps them pretty busy so they haven't taken advantage of a ton but from what we have seen they look really good. They absolutely loves the meals. What came to a surprise for us is that it seems we have to advocate for our loved ones just a little more then what we thought - it seems we are having to be more reactive instead of proactive.

They have a lot of good activities but they could improve on the quality of the care, the cleanliness and the overall value for cost

We have had a good overall experience.

We had various issues. They wouldn't take the rent check the first of the month - it would be the middle to the end of the month before they would take it. Some of the staff did not communicate well with one another, which caused us issues. The residents were not very nice. And I thought it was overpriced for what it was.

It is a good community, they are a little short staff sometimes but they are trying their best to improve.

I value The Bellingham at Orchard. Great staff. Great programming. Good food. Supportive. I am dismayed by the cost and the for-profit system of most senior care in general. But given that, I value The Bellingham for its transparency to me as an adult child of one of their residents and their great ability to hire compassionate staff.

The family visited 5 memory care facilities and found the Cogir at the Quarry to be clean and nice family room set up. We also liked that they had a Nurse on staff at all times. After being there for 3 months, we are very happy with the kind staff and activities. The family gave input for more appropriate food due to dental work. It would be nice if there was a family liaison. We are happy with the placement and still prefer it as our best choice.

Lotus Park isn't perfect, but I like it overall. It's in a good location, and the living situation is nice. The main problem is it has been hard for them to get and keep good employees.
