Dial Retirement Communities

There has been a change of management recently, the community seems to be influx. I would consider this place again for my loved one, but I also recommend looking around at other communities. The food is enjoyed by my loved one.

Want diabetes care, friendly atmosphere, well prepared food with variety, place where family can normally visit when Covid has passed, place where you can go out with family, activities in the care place

On the whole, I feel that Solana is a well-run community. However, the caregivers are highly overworked. I have been here for five months, 6 caregivers have left and none were hired. There are 2 more leaving in the next two weeks. The caregivers are superb, never complaining. My thoughts are just an observation. I would hate to lose more caregivers to poor work conditions.

Living at The Solana for almost 3 years has been everything promised to me when I moved here and more. The staff and employees are the best-trained people always eager to help fix anything any minor problem that might arise. The culinary staff does an excellent job of providing delicious dinners. The servers are young people always ready to greet you with smiles and deliver what you order. This is truly a home away from home!

[Name removed] was very nice and informative and answered all our questions. The community is very nice. Location is a concern for us.

The Solana of Deer Park is a very nice place. The staff is very friendly, welcoming and concerned about their patients. They treat everyone with dignity. My mom is in the memory care area. She wasn’t doing well for a while and they showed concern and kept in contact with me. The rooms are nice and large. Even the shared rooms are private except for the bathroom. They keep the place pretty clean considering they have quite a few people to take care of. The food could be more natural and less processed. The communication between staff could be a little better, but everything is an adjustment. All in all it is a nice place and is a good value for the price.

This is where Dad presently lives.

I think overall my sister enjoys living there. She has made friends and enjoys bingo and some other activities. The facility is clean and the staff is friendly. I think the lobby could use some updating , maybe a little more up to date colors but her major complaint is the food. I have also overhead about 5 residents sitting outside complaining about what they had for dinner. They can't seem to keep kitchen help and the quality could be better. I know its hard to satisfy so many people but I think that is one thing they really need to work on. Overall though I would recommend Independence Village. I do feel she is in a good neighborhood and I feel safe having her there.

Very happy with this option. A little out of my geographical range.

Staff is friendly, building is clean and nicely maintained. We toured a small and a medium sized 1 bedroom apartment and we were impressed with the size of both. The monthly rates for apartments are less expensive than the other communities we received information about. When you add in the cost of amenities that are not included in the monthly rate (Ameren, cable, WiFi) it’s a little more per month but still reasonably priced. My mom did not select this community as her new home but it was a very close second. I would recommend touring this community.

This is really nice, but I fear their studio apartments are few and far between in availability.

I went on a tour here and the women we worked with the first time was no longer there and she had told us a different price range. The new person didn't know the right information and wouldn't give me straight answers. This place is beautiful and a newer building. It was nice and clean. There was not a lot of residents. There wasn't many activity going on anywhere.

I toured here when looking for a place for my husband to go. It was very nice, it’s a brand new facility, and everything was available in one building. Most of the residents seemed to be happy to be there. I went to a couple of cocktail parties that they had and the food was good. When I took the tour, the person giving me the tour was able to answer any questions that I had. The facility was brand new and kept very clean. They didn’t offer exactly what I needed, though, which is why we didn’t choose to move him in.

I toured this community and everything was nice and clean. The staff answered all my questions and they had memory care here but all the prices were a la carte and I didn't feel comfortable with that. So we chose a different place.

It is a very friendly community at The Montclair. Everyone I have met with is friendly and they seem content. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is very well-maintained and clean. The staff is very welcoming to our family members when we come to visit. They gave us meal vouchers when we moved my mom in so I have dined there with my mom. The food is good, they do offer choices if you don't like what is being served. When my mom first moved in the staff encouraged my mom to participate in the activities. Now she is comfortable enough to know what activities she wants to do and knows where to go if she wants to join in. There are several different areas to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine or shade. They have nice walking trails to get some exercise. They offer transportation to shopping and other trips and tours. It is a very nice place. The maintenance staff is very friendly. They are pet-friendly so she has her little dog. She likes her apartment which she is still getting settled into. Moving from a three bedroom house into a small apartment is quite an adjustment. But I am pleased that she is happy and doing well.

This community was equally as nice as most of the other ones we had visited. The location was not ideal for my dad it is located near a shopping mall and is in a busy area with lots of restaurants and stores which would be fine for someone who is active but that does not fit my dad's personality. The community was fine though very clean looks good. They had a nice pool which the residents could use. The staff we met were friendly and very nice. They offered a lot of activities and services but many of them my dad would not take advantage of so it was not worth it.

The community I picked out for myself is very nice. It is mostly for resident who are independent with some assistance. They are in a good location for me to be close to my family and I enjoy so much that is here for us. It is kept clean, plenty of activities, and very good staff.

I was very pleased with my tour here, the staff did a great job showing me around and answering my questions. They seem to have a lot of nice amenities for their residents and the staff was very friendly. They did have a studio available but my mother was looking for a 1 bedroom.

I had a tour with the community and I liked how nice the community was. They had the big size room I wanted and my dog was allowed in too but they were too expensive for me. I had to look at other options.

This looked like a nice community when we visited. The people we met were nice and helpful. We did not like that the assisted living was in a separate building. There would have been to much walking for us.
