Five Star Senior Living

I don’t normally write reviews but felt compelled to after I spoke with [name removed] at Brenden Gardens. Looking for a space for my aging parents is no easy task and hard on the heart. [name removed] answered all my questions with compassion and concern. She was relatable and understanding of my emotions. If you’re in this situation talk to her and you will feel so much better about the tough decisions that are soon to come. When the time comes we will definitely hope there is space for our parents at Brenden Gardens.

I found the residents and staff to be very friendly. I also like the variety of activities available, even if my FIL won't try any.

Staff is extremely helpful. Clean, lots of activities for residents, staff and residents very welcoming. I would recommend.

Staff is happy, and loving if you can put up with it. Family always welcome in the dining room, especially with kids. In the best part of town. The ladies love to dress up.

We moved my 93 year old dad into Five Star Residences at Clearwater a few days ago. He left his small town where he has lived his entire life. We had a lot of questions and, of course, concerns about taking him away from his home. [names removed] listened to our worries and assured us things would be okay. With 3 daughters, son in laws and grandchildren helping with the move and obviously nervous, they went out of their way to explain and reassure everyone. Other staff stopped in to introduce themselves and welcome him. [name removed], the maintenance supervisor, went above and beyond to make sure TV’s and Wifi were set up, and everything was working correctly. [name removed], the receptionist, warmly welcomes us when we visit and shared that it’s fun to watch dad be so confident. That made us feel so good. Dad has enjoyed the food so far and is looking forward to participating in activities. So far we are very impressed with the warm welcome, ease of move in and welcoming atmosphere.

[name removed] at Brandon Woods was totally awesome to work with. She is compassionate, knowledgeable and dedicated to her staff and residents. She walked us through a very difficult process and was extremely helpful. All the staff members shared her helpfulness and caring attitude. Toughest decision our family had to make but [name removed] and crew made it as smooth as possible.

This community was by far the only good community within Carson City. The team members had a genuine care for my moms well being and her overall happiness. The food wasn't amazing, but it certainly wasn't horrible. They did a change over in the kitchen to something called Compass - though not sure it actually helped them at all. My mom loved being in the community and it truly felt like a family walking in. The community is only as good as you make it - were there some issues in the first few weeks? Yes. Were they all resolved? Absolutely. Things happen - and a transition period into a place like this can be hard. I'd recommend The Lodge over and over again to anyone who wants a place that you can trust to take care of your parents to the end.

All the staff is very friendly and engaging. Each and every issue we have addressed has been handled in a courteous, efficient manner. Highly recommend The Forum.

The entire staff went over and above to take care of our mother and us when they where needed the most .

The Forum at Memorial Woods is beautiful. The staff is very helpful and friendly. They do a great job with having activities and outings for the residents and I feel the rent for the size, quality and amenities is very good.

The facility is great. The staff was very friendly and patient. The facility was very clean and our loved one said the meals were good.

The staff from executive Director to housing keeping are extremely accommodating. They listen and try to solve any problems you might have. Thank you for informing us about The Forum

Mom moved to Meadowmere Assisted Living in [date removed]. She was welcomed by folks who already knew her by name. Daily exercises, weekly movies, bingo, card games, crafts, cooking classes, trivia, and other special events keep Mom and all of the residents active and involved. But what sets Meadowmere apart from other places is the staff & care team. The entire staff treats each resident with kindness, dignity, and respect. This very caring staff includes the day-to-day help provided by the nursing aides & assistants, a talented kitchen staff attentive to each resident’s dietary needs, dynamic dining room servers who know the residents by name and also what they like to eat, a very busy activity staff joined by volunteers, & also maintenance and housekeeping. As a family, we are thankful for this caring community with great administrative oversight. Best place in Wisconsin for our Mom! Thank You ALL!

Want to that [name removed] and staff today at Meadowmere for an amazing day for the residents and visitors. The car show had an amazing turnout and the raffle baskets we amazing. The staff out did themselves today accommodating all. We are impressed on a daily for the care of my dad and other residents. Thank you again.

5 for all of them!! My mom loves living there!! She loves her room, all the social activities (especially Bingo and live music in the Whiskey Bar)! Staff are wonderful! And she has many new friends!!!

The facility was safe and friendly, with lots of cheerful residents! The staff were flexible and reassuring. Treated us like family. Absolutely take time to explore The Reserve at Greenbrier; you'll feel at home before you move in!

The staff was accommodating, helpful an willing to accommodate that includes Mgmt an staff, I told my sister an friends it was like going into a private club the first floor has many amenities like a great restaurant, lots of activities like movies, exercises I could go on the only reason my sister left because she had dementia an could not stop her horrible addiction to smoking it broke my heart that she had to leave I would give Church Creek 5

What we like the most about the community is the staff are friendly and responsive. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience so far.

Everything except for #8 is a 5, the value for the money. I've always thought the cost of these facilities are way too expensive. Especially when you take into acct that the client base are generally on a fixed income and needing to do private pay. When many of the assisted living clients are rather immobile and don't do a lot, paying the high cost for them to basically sit around and have someone check on them periodically seems absurd. All that said, with the exception of one person, my dad has very much enjoyed the staff. One comment about the food. Mt dad chose to eat in his room. Generally a good variety but often times it was served cold since they wld get served after those in the dining room. So making sure that meals were hot when given to residents wld be appreciated.

The staff at Park Summit really did make the transition for my mom easy and very welcoming. They have something similar to a "buddy system" where they encourage fellow neighbors to engage with each other for meals or activities. Staff is so helpful and kind. They have orientation so my mom knows what to expect. Things to do, meals are great, activities plentiful and unit is nice. Very pleased with our selection in choosing Park Summit so far!
