Five Star Senior Living

My father moved here recently. He wasn’t sure he wanted to be there, or anywhere for that matter, because it wasn’t home. But now we’re about a month in, and he’s liking it more and more each day. I have liked and appreciated this place so much since well before moving day. [name removed], and all of the staff, have made the transition so easy, and have worked with us so well ~ before, during, and still to this day. It’s hard to put into words how grateful I am for them and for their patience, kindness, and helpfulness. A big thank you to all! I can’t recommend them enough to anyone who’s looking for a wonderful place for their aging parents!

The staff at Gateway Villas and Gateway Gardens are al very helpful and respectful. We were their first respite family. Since we were the first respite family, and they haven't said if they would continue respite care, I don't know what words other than that I can say.

My mother has been living at Meadowmere for 8 years. They do a superb job at Meadowmere with the caring, friendly, supportive, and loving staff. Now her sister, my aunt has moved into Meadowmere. Having family with you is truely the best thing. My mom just loves the activities which include bingo, happy hour, exercise, cooking class, etc. It’s a great place to live.and enjoy. Also the special events with include classic car show, luau, Twelve Days of Christmas, New Years, etc.

Our family had an in person tour with Palms of Fort Myers and the residents toured us and after we left they said that we were not going to move our loved one there because of the lack of security (things we had noticed on the tour). However Fort Myers were we liked one of the units a lot but the cupboard's/microwave were regular height;.

When it comes to the meals and dining they could be improved - there is too much chicken and not enough beef or pork. For the activities they have different things including bingo and team trivia games. We would recommend the Morningside of Vestavia Hills to other families looking for a place for their loved ones.

[name removed] is very happy there. I can't really speak for the value as I don't really have involvement with that aspect. The staff have all been great and the facilities couldn't be much nicer! Based on our experience and what we have witnessed we would definitely recommend Morningside of Bellgrade to other families.

The Bridge to Rediscovery is a wonderful program and the staff that is implementing it is wonderful. The upper management leaves a bit to be desired. The Haven Staff is AWESOME. the staff that has been caring for and loving on my mama [name removed] and [name removed] are stellar, I could not ask for any better! I've (and my family) have been very happy with the Haven staff and environment that Mama has been in since day 1 [date removed] of the move in. I would tell people to overlook the paper problems and paper pushers. Just focus on the people that are caring for our loved ones. It is a big company and with that comes issues of upper level management caring only about the bottom line, money. Mama is happy, safe, loved, clean, and stimulated. I'm good!

Five Star Residences of Clearwater has been great for my Aunt and she really likes it!! The staff is excellent, from the administration, nursing, to the food staff and maintenance. She is getting excellent care. It's a lovely clean facility with great activities for the residents and her apartment is a roomy one bedroom.

We give a 5 for everything at the New Seasons at New Britain. The staff members there are very helpful during our loved ones transition. The friendliness of the staff members during the tour as well as the follow up calls and texts is something we appreciated. They kept up with that until we got our loved one here from down south.

We toured several places for my mom, and she knew this was “the one” right away. They offer a ton of daily and varied activities, and great amenities. Also, her unit is roomy and homey and doesn’t feel institutional like some places tend to. So far my mom is very happy with her choice, so we are too!

Room for improvement: Have someone helping the overnight secretary. Have a on site nurse overnight. I had an emergency and came downstairs for help and she said she couldn't leave the desk and there was no one here. She tried to call a security guard but she had NOONE helping her. The apartment sizes and amenities offered for the residents are great!

I think Morningside of Wilmington is a great place. I appreciate the cooperation from the staff. The aids are very patient with my sister and others. All the staff initiate friendliness first and are helpful.

When my parents could no longer live in their own house, we all decided to hunt for a new place for them, and The Forum at Lincoln Heights was one of the greatest possibilities we had for their retirement years. They began in a magnificent Independent Living facility at [removed] and are now looking to shift shortly, with The Forum at Lincoln Heights as their preferred location.

I can’t say enough good things about Morningside of Charlottesville! All of the staff I have met have been incredibly helpful, both in person and when I call. They are responsive and attentive to all family members' concerns. I am amazed at how staff know the names of all the residents they pass. Even on our tour of the Memory Care unit, they took time to engage them in conversation and it was clear that residents were their top priority, not us. Everyone seems truly invested in the well-being of each resident. The facility is well appointed and, unlike other places we toured, there were no lingering odors! It’s clean and bright. My parents take advantage of the many activities offered. The social engagement has really helped my Dad, who seems to have stabilized and improved over the past month. I would highly recommend the facility to others based on my experiences to date. I know other family members feel like I do. They have made our lives so much easier, and we can now enjoy Dad’s and Mom’s company without the burden of their day-to-day care.

My dad(dementia) has been there 1 year and 8 months There is a fair amount of staff turnover, however, there are also several staff who have been there years and lend stability. It is not perfect, but he is well cared and seems to be the best place for his situation. They are all expensive!

If you need a place this is the one! People are very well taken care of they provide excellent care for our seniors! It Helps Seniors Maintain a Feeling of Independence ! They get to socialize with others their own age! It Allows Seniors to Get Help With Daily Activities! Overall great place for our seniors!

With amazing meals, scenery and great residents and staff making everyone feel welcome here, it really isn't just a community, it's a family. They offer so many events and activities, no matter the day, there is always something to do. They have a huge variety of activities to choose from. They have groups that meet to play games or just discuss mutually interested topics and even classes because no matter how old you can always learn something new. It truly is a one of a kind place.

I give all a rating of 5. Having been here only 3 months, my experience has been beyond my expectations. All staff personnel are very friendly and helpful. I have a two bedroom apartment. Living room is a bit small. They have several sizes of apartment's to choose from. All have washer/dryers in the units, small kitchenettes. Two meals a day, a third is optional. Many activities to choose from. Transportation is available. I am very happy with my decision to move into Coral Oaks.

Pueblo Norte gave us a great tour. Super friendly staff and it was very thorough. They gave packets with all the details, prices, menus, amenities. It was a very nice place but we just felt another facility we had seen previously would be a better fit for our loved one.

My loved one passed away, but Park Place of Fountain City was great! I liked that most rooms are on the first floor and so it's easy to get to important places like the cafeteria. Sometimes the front desk person wasn't there, but I think they were around helping someone, and with all places, I think they are short staffed, but other than that, I liked the place. His apartment was a good size. They had some shuttle service and that was nice. And a cafeteria.
