Enriched Senior Living

Quiet family town

I had no problems with facility. I placed my father there on [date removed] and he passed away on [date removed]. The only disappointment I had was in a policy that was not verbalized to me when I reserved the room and I was NOT told about when I signed papers. Was never given a copy of what I signed until I went back and asked for it...when I was told there would be no refund. I paid a month but he was only there for two weeks...policy said they would charge for two weeks after his passing.... I asked when I reserved room if I’d get a refund if he died before month was up....NOTHING was mentioned about the policy even though administrator said she told me...Facility is phenomenal and caregivers were awesome....

They can't keep workers long enough, so we are the ones who suffer because our apts do not get cleaned or bed sheets+towels not washed. The same thing happens with servers in the dining room, but they sure go up on our rent every year, not realizing that we are not on a fixed income but in a declining income.

poor management for old people. The place is not as clean as it should be & activities are limited. No exercise equipment is provided. Apartment services very poor. Short handed on help. Food OK most of the time.

The people are very friendly. The activities are great.

I love the residents here… Lovely people that I enjoy being with I like and appreciate the activities provided.

We need more workers, servers and maintenance.

My review: The brain fitness is a good, actively -it makes my senses up. Could be expanded to 2 to 3 times a weeks and be even more helpful. As far as this community – the Jury is still out and I am a relatively new residents.

I would like to see permanent people at front desk, dining area, and housekeeping, the only way decrease the turn over is to increase their salaries!!! The food is much better since chef [Removed] has taken ever.

Mom is doing better since moving into memory care. The caregivers have been awesome. This community is well taken care of. The rooms are open to the common areas. This is a smaller community and they are not able to treat wounds. They do administer medications. They have a beautician that comes in once a week. They bring in animals and have other activities. I think they could have done a better job with her evaluation in the beginning as we found that assisted living was not working out for her.

Would have loved this one cause its so close to my home but they don't have memory care and NB is too far for me to visit daily.

The food is wonderful, well balanced and a dessert always follows the noon meal. But... there are serious concerns with management and cleanliness.

Another good option, Yolanda was very nice and helpful.

To start with the positive this is a very nice looking community, and they always keep things very clean and well kept. The food is also decent, they serve 3 meals a day and they are generally healthy. The first problem I ran into was that the community made no effort to integrate the new residents into the community, no welcoming event or party or anything. They also just did not seem to have a lot of activities in general. The main problem was the transportation, which was one of the features they sold me on. They have one bus with 15 seats for a community of well over 100 people. It made me late to appointments more than once, and I've had to wait multiple hours to be picked up. It really was not acceptable.

I was really leery of this one. It was definitely a no when I went to go see it. The apartments were all off a breeze ways sort of thing and I felt like that might be a fall risk if it rained. There were a lot of little things that I just didn't feel easy about.

I have already spoke with these people and it would be great.

I was not at all impressed by NewForest Estates. There are separate buildings so if residents need to get to the dining room, activity room, etc. they have to travel outside. They have to keep the doors open because so many people travel with walkers or wheelchairs which we felt was unsafe. The community also just looked very poor and depressing, but the price was high. I would not recommend this community unless you are on a fixed income.

When our loved one was there the meals were not very good or on time so it became an issue for the residents who needed to take medication with their meals. Also we were told they have would activities going on during the week and that was not the case, either they did not have any or no one came to notify our loved one.

Sodalis was a wonderful place to live up to 6 months ago. the director was on top of everything and the activities manager was very engaging and kept everyone laughing. Now there is serious concerns: the new director is sweet, but there is no follow through with problems, residents are not getting their medicine as prescribed, cleanliness is lacking, staff is decreasing instead of increasing causing the few who are employed to not be able to keep of with the residents needs and are over worked. Numerous residents have pasted since the disturbance in care during the evacuation from the flood and numerous moves. Families have moved their love ones for lack of care. Sodalis is very expensive for glorified babysitting. Hopefully things will turn around in the future for the existing residents sake.

We thought it was way too many people in one house. They only had one bathroom for eight people - that's a lot of people! They had another little room with a potty in it for people to use the bathroom but it was like a closet with a toilet in it. It was awful. The staff there was fairly nice - that wasn't an issue. Just the facility as a whole felt like it was outdated and overcrowded. It felt homey because obviously it's house but there were a lot of improvements that could be made. I didn't think my aunt would like it there.
