Greenbrier Senior Living

Very nice place. Friendly staff. The facility is clean and welcoming. There is an outdoor area which is important for my dad. It is definitely within our budget and we are keeping it as an option.

very nice, not really considering at this time

Really loved what I saw here. #1 on my list if mom will move to Hendersonville

I was very pleased with the information and impressed with the building. Employees were impressive and the facilty appeared well run and very clean.

Nice place, friendly staff. Looks clean and well maintained. Nice public areas. Suite-like rooms with microwave. Housekeeping and laundry weekly. No towels and TP provided. Hydration and Sack carts throughout the day. Nice courtyard and doors are always locked. Activities scheduled and weekly themes for activities. Lots of groups come in to entertain. Good retention of employees. Monthly family meals with no charge for single meals.

received very good references but did not feel this is the best choice for mom, she is does not need a secure location at this time

Visited on Sat., Sept., 17. Nice atmosphere. Seems as though a decent rate can be negotiated. I'm impressed by the director's professionalism and enthusiasm of the facility.

This is so far the best. Price is good, small facility, friendly people, clean, close to our house. One floor level.

Beautiful place, but we felt it was going to be out of our price range.

Our family visited Aldea Green on one of many scheduled tour stops. The facility was nice, could use some more modern updates in our opinion but everyone was welcoming and very friendly.

I have mixed emotions. They are very short-staffed, although that's true of a lot of places. I think they're doing the best they can. But I get disappointed often. Laundry often goes missing. I haven't found a comparable place for the price though. There was a recent change in ownership, and they said they there would be no increases for 90 days. We'll see what happens after that. But ultimately, the people are good to my loved one. They're kind, and they care about their residents. They encourage them, and they prompt them to attend activities. And I feel my loved one is in the best situation that's available to us.

I was assured of transportation to medical appointments. Transportation has been difficult, if not impossible. Heavy doors are not suited for anyone in wheelchairs or walkers (can't open). Fire doors between some exits, and parts of building are also not workable for handicapped. Frequent staff changed and absences leaving residents vulnerable.

Make sure (up front) that you set and know the expectations & know the basic costs. There are different levels of care; what does each level of car entail and is the individual actually receiving that level of care? For example: level 2 or B - are you really getting that service for the additional cost per month? When inquired, we found out the answer was "no" - so I had to have my loved one reassessed and now we are just getting the basic level of care. I like the location, it's convenient for me. As far as improvements, they should check in on the residents on some kind of a regular basis. My loved one has made a lot of improvements since they've been there with their physical therapy. I did think that there would be a doctor on duty or accessible. There was a time where my loved one thought they had an infection and we had to go outside of the community to receive treatment & tests. I thought that service would be available - whether for a fee or not. I figured there would be an on-site doctor, RN, or consult. If that is available, my loved one did inquire and it seemed like there was no help, so we had to go a different route. Overall I would recommend Aldea Green to other people and I actually already have.

The people I dealt with at Renaissance North Tampa were very nice. And the tour was a positive experience. We just preferred a different community. Size and number of residents was the determining factor - we were looking for a place that was not too big but not too small.

The communication and medical attention are two concerns. The staff and friendliness are good,. and they are responsive with the exception to medical with requests and concerns. Medication management, laundry, changing of linens, housekeeping are some of the care the community offers. The apartment, utilities, transportation, and care are included in the monthly rate. The medical services could be improved for the residents. The nurses, [name removed] is fantastic to work with. One of the line staff went above and beyond to assist my loved one get acquainted with the community initially. There are somethings that were requested at the beginning on my loved one's care and these are just now happening. It would have been nice to have this done quicker than waiting a long time. We were told the Physician Assistant was there every other week, and not sure if they have seen my loved one yet. The communication with Blue Stone needs to be better with the family. There have been therapists that have been wonderful to work with my loved one. My loved one loves working with these individuals. The community provides a schedule of activities to the residents and families. It would be nice to know if the staff are encouraging the residents to participate in the activities offered.

We've been happy with Aldea Green. I think of late they may have had some staffing issues though, which is evident in the services that are provided. We didn't notice any issues when we first went there. But they're still a very pleasant, friendly community.
