So far so good.

So far so good. They had a family night and several people got sick from food poisoning. The only other complaint I have is the nurse in charge has to be asked multiple times to get things done. It took a lot of time to get therapy started. He likes it there he is getting along with people there. The billing has been smooth. We chose it because it was the least depressing of the places we saw.

It has been okay..

The Brookdale Shadowlake is pretty good. It has been okay. The only issue is that they are not very responsive. They were suppose to give me a call and they never called.

Carrie was warm and friendly and her love for the Seniors was undeniable. She was very helpful and open, answering all our questions and listening to our concerns and comments and using the information we gave her to think about where our dad might be the happiest; already thinking ahead of people she would introduce our dad to in order to help him feel more comfortable and start meeting people and making friends.

Workable and Friendly

They are great, but they could not handle my mom's violent behavioral. So, my mom had to go to a behavioral unit. But she is back now and they have trained their staff with this type of patience, which I thought they would have had this type of training already, but I guess they hadn't yet. We had to go with their private rooms, again, because of my mother's violent behavioral. The Emeritus made every effort to accommodate and they really wanted her to adjust and be there. They were very flexible and friendly. We are very pleased.

Workable!

They didn't seem to be able to deal with my moms violet behavior. That was a problem. They did more training for their employees. I felt like they were willing to please. They made the effort to adjust the situation. They are very friendly. I thank "A Place for Mom" and Paul Hamilton was very helpful and made it easy to find a place.

Very friendly administrative and care staff!

Overall things have gone well with Emeritus at San Marcos! They do a great job keeping everything clean and nice looking, and the staff have all been very friendly. The director, Dean, is excellent and the RN, Brittany, has also been a pleasure to work with! They do an excellent job taking care of the residents!

This is a great facility but it does not have a memory care area. Linda McLaughlin is fantastic. My concern with this location is that my mother would be left alone in her room.

They were all very similar, you just didn't get as much for your money here. My mother didn't get as much square footage but the service, the cleanliness was all pretty much the same. When you go from a 4 bedroom almost 2000 square foot home to a 300 square foot one it's really hard.
