Dial Retirement Communities

[name removed] the life guidance counselor made the experience fantastic. We had 2 caretakers that were amazing, but others that were concerning. The thing I was not anticipating was the additional care that we would have to bring in as her Alzheimer's progressed. I had to work with off site agencies to come in and provide extra care even though we were paying so much for her to be here. Towards the end we benefitted from the fact that she qualified for hospice, the care got much better after that and we were thankful for that. We are still dealing with back billing and there has been a lot of turnover so there has been issues with communication. They had an activities calendar, but whenever we went to visit it did not seem like they were doing many of those. I would just tell others to make sure to account for when or if your loved ones Alzheimer's progresses, you will have to bring in extra care and that was something that was not explained to me in the beginning.

This was a nice community, it was not as clean as another community that I was looking at. I liked the dinning area a lot and they gave a lot of information on the tour. However, my mother- in law was at another community and I felt like they would be better together.

This was a good community for your loved one. I liked everything about it but one thing. I did not like the medicine distribution process. Everything else about this community was good to go and I have recommended it to others. They had activities like arts and crafts and holiday activities, games and more for the residents to do to stay busy in the community.

Our family had an in person tour and it is a very nice community but for us it was harder to get to, and the parking situation was not the most ideal so we thought it would be harder for our family to come visit. The conversation with the executive director was wonderful, they seemed to be very accommodating but in terms of the community itself, it just felt a little more confined.

The Landings Senior Living community feels more like a hotel or apartment complex, it does not feel institutional. The activities right now are a little limited just due to the covid restrictions, but based on our experience so far we would recommend this community to others.

This was a nice community. It was a little more expensive. There was just another community that worked better for my loved one.

We had a good tour at Woodlands Creek. I felt like they wanted to understand and accommodate the unique needs of each individual. I thought the tour was very informative.

The community is very clean and setting all the covid restrictions aside the activities provided for the residents are wonderful. Something we specifically liked for our loved one is their upper deck view, it is just breathtaking. The outdoor space is wonderful and a great place to relax.

I felt really good about the community. This community was a bit to far away from where I wanted my loved ones to be. They are still driving and we wanted them to be in an familiar area without the highway.

We looked at several different places and we liked Atria the best because the apartments were more functional and nice and we also liked the staff and activities that they provided. They do have a new executive director and he has been fantastic and has done wonderful things already in the short time that he has been here. I would recommend them to others looking.

This is an average community. They provide good care in memory care for my loved one. The food can be bland, but has a lot of variety for the residents to choose from. The community allows cats and dogs.

My loved one has been there for three months and we have been pleased with the care they are receiving. We would highly recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The food is excellent, they have a lot of fish options, and good vegetables that aren't overdone. The menu is diverse. Some of the activities include card games, bingo, live entertainment, and more for the residents to choose from. The activities director is very engaged with the residents and trying to get them involved in the activities offered.

Everyone is really nice. It seems to be a really nice place, with a good layout, and lots of things to offer. The residents seem really happy. They always greet each other and us. No one looks miserable like we've seen at other places. It seems like everyone is pretty independent, just like the community name says. It seems more like a hotel than a nursing home. I really have nothing negative to say. Her apartment is small but pretty nice, and it seems to have everything that she needs.

I would recommend the community for someone who is fairly independent. There is a struggle in keeping the cleaning staff for the resident's rooms. It was almost one month before my loved one had another staff member to assist the cleaning on the entire floor of the resident's rooms. My loved one likes the food sometimes.

Our loved one was a care giver to our father for 7 years, and this community has given her the chance to ease back into society. She is able to get back to doing things on her own and this is a safe place to do that. Also our loved one has the choice to cook for herself or not.

I would say come take a tour and stay for lunch. The food is tolerable, not great but not real bad either. Overall I've been happy here. It's friendly here and a nice place to live. My apartment could be bigger, but I'm satisfied with it. I like playing trivia with the other residents. They allow pets, so I was able to bring mine with me.

I started looking at it while it was under construction before covid hit, I liked that it would be brand new and it was close to my house. She was at another facility previously and Atria was less restrictive so I would be able to see my mom. They have been really good with communication, I have the memory care directors number she said we can call and text anytime we need which is comforting to know. They text or call when there are any issues that come up. They can't do activities like they would like normal but they are doing things trivia games, exercise, going on walks, etc. so they are trying their hardest. Overall I would recommend to others who are looking.

I would recommend The Montclair to others for their loved ones. The biggest complaint we have with them is the food quality and variety. They have been working on making corrections to the food options.

They're very friendly here, and keep things very clean. They have lots of activities. My favorites are dominos and cards. I've been having my food delivered to my apartment, and sometimes it's messed up. It just doesn't look as good as if you had the plate handed to you in the dining room. It looks small in the containers. But if you're able to go down to the dining room, it's excellent.

The community is in the process of moving along towards getting the activities back in order, and the community is starting to open back up. They are now offering three meals in the dining room which is a big thing, beforehand the meals were being delivered to our rooms.
