Frontier Senior Living

My husband has Alzheimer's disease and has been at Autumn Leaves of Oswego since it opened in January of 2013. He was a day stay patient until April 24, 2013 when he became a resident. I have nothing but praise for Autumn Leaves of Oswego. The Autumn Leaves Corporation has a fantastic concept and standards for caring for those with dementia. It's the staff that brings it from a great facility to a phenomenal home. I have the pleasure of visiting my husband every day. I see the staff treat the residents with love, respect and dignity. They also treat the whole person, providing activities and meals that are tailored to each residents personal needs. For example, my husband is very busy with his hands. The staff purchased and activity board for him to use to help keep his hands active in a safe and beneficial way. The Autumn Leaves staff has become our second family. I would highly recommend anyone who has a family member with dementia to visit Autumn Leaves of Oswego and see for yourself how awesome this community is.

Toured this facility for my mom. It was light, bright, open, welcoming, and friendly. There was a lot of activity on a Sunday morning, plenty of staff members and active residents. The menu looks like it would please anybody. Two different entrees are offered for each meal. The Activity Calendar lists 8 activities for each day! I can't imagine Mom living anywhere else. (If you're not familiar with this part of town, it's in a good neighborhood. 50 year old ranch style homes are owned by honest, hard working people. The facility is right next to a large community church. )

We really liked them a lot. If we could have transplanted them and brought them up more North, we would have gone there. The people were really friendly, and it was a little bigger.

Brought my mom there for a tour last week. She fell and was in rehab for a couple of weeks. She is in her late 80s and she and I both realized she can't live alone anymore. Came in on a weekend day and Chris who is the marketing person there was really nice. He took a lot of time and really seemed to care. Gave us some great advice and really walked us through everything. My mom moved in and so far everything has been great. She is even starting to make some friends.

I would recommend it to anyone. I am just really impressed. I went to every place in the area. They were the most expensive, but it is really clean and everyone is so happy. They are smiling and the food is good - I ate there too. I really liked how the resident were treated. It is new and there is always so much going on. They do bingo and activities. This is a big difference from where she was before.

The people are very compassionate and attentive. I don't think you can find a better place. I think the cost, initially, took me by surprise but it's all relative. Some of these place give you a room and board price and then add on for everything else so it probably comes out in the wash. They keep the place active with varied activities that stimulate the senses. They keep the doors open and there is activity going on all the time and that's important for stimulation.

It was much the same as colonial gardens as far as cleanliness and staff and the way it's arranged but it's all one unit and it's a series of hallways and rooms off of those hallways which I didn't like as much. It was very close to being the same as far as everything was concerned. I guess the main difference was the number of people in their care unit and how that was arranged which is why we didn't chose it.

We chose it frankly because it had this giant patio on one of the units that noby else particularly wanted and my mother loves her plants and her patio and the price was good for the size of the unit. The patios as big as her apartment and we made it perfect for her. She loves it, I think its the happiest shes been in years, I couldnt be more pleased and now I don't have to worry about her. Their friendliness is one of the best things about the place and the value is excellent; they provide increadible, great care services, a lot more than she needs right now but they're there when she needs it. They have a great doctor that comes once a week so she doesn't have to go out in a car or get a ride, she can just make an appointment to go and see him. When she was living by herself in a regular 55+ apartment I was freaked if I couldn't get her on the phone, now if I can't get her I call them and they go out and find her. She's usually out doing something and talking to poeple, its fabulous.

We were very pleased with Redwood Heights but had to leave this community because of fall risk for our loved one. They did great during the day and had excellent staff but during the night they would have minimal staffing and our loved one would become impatient waiting for someone to help so she would try and do it herself. We are no longer here but our loved one would love to go back we just don’t feel they could offer the level of staffing we were looking for. Overall we were very pleased and would recommend it to anyone.

My mom is very, very hapy at Ashley Glen. She loves the staff, the food is really good, and it is very clean. She is very happy with it.

my first choice at this moment

I like the 'aging in place' model where you can bring in any assistance you need and not get kicked out when you care becomes intensive. Home health and medicare on-site. Doctors visit regularly. Car for appts, not shuttle. Great food. May be more difficult to coordinate if using different Home Health organizations.

Very nice.

This is a brand new facility with openings. She raved about the atmosphere and location. They have furnished or unfurnished rooms, shared or private rooms (the only thing shared is the bathroom). There are 48 apartments with only 30 residents at the moment.

Friendly staff and clean environment. Liked the two "wings." Like that they will have dinner for my parents if they want to eat together.

Very clean and bright. Resident rooms were smallish, but private. I like the jack and jill bath. This facility seems to stress activity. I wonder if Dad would enjoy/participate. No room in the room for TV and his chair. They don't encourage hanging in the rooms. Will bring mom here.

First one we looked at and it was open, would be bright on rainy day, wide hallways ,rooms nice people around and doing. Family member could stay over night. Family member could eat with mom one night a week /nocharge other wise 3.00

Very nice; looks like a lovely hotel. Apartments are spacious with kitchens/laundry.

Carpets in hallway could be replaced - and marks on walls from walkers, etc. Everyone is very friendly. My dad has no complaints about the quality of care. There is a lot of variety for the food - dad feels they offer too much food and there is a lot of food waste, but? There are so many activities - it might be nice to have some male only activities, but overall a good variety and lots to participate in when available. Value for cost - no complaints.

I love the small size and the cleanliness of the facility. The location could be better. Overall very good for level of care she needed at the time. It's open and airy feeling. Some were more like prison wards.
