Highmark Senior Living

I thought Edencrest was a very nice facility. The rooms were very nice and it was a positive experience. We did not choose Edencrest because it was a little more expensive than other options in the area.

This is a nice community for good care. The staff is pleasant. The meals are needing some small improvements lately. They offer a lot of activities that he is participating in and it is very helpful. They have a nice activities board to see what he is participating in. We would recommend this community for other families for the care of a loved one.

All around this community has provided excellent care to my mother and I have been very pleased with her experience this far. She does not eat many of the meals because of her age but really likes the dinning experience and the interaction she has with the other residents. I really like the fact that they have multiple common areas with great amenities for her to relax throughout the day and not be stuck in her bedroom.

This community is really a caring community. My in laws had a incident and they were right there. They even checked up on my mother in law to make sure that she was doing okay with everything. We really are appreciative of this place and all that they do.

I am happy with the care of the staff at this community. We like that they are always helpful and friendly. We are glad to know that he is happy with the meals and the nice variety. There are activities for him to stay active. The community is clean and we would recommend other families to this community for good care for a loved one.

I have been overly pleased with the great progress my mother has been making at this community. She loves the fact that she can go down to the dinning room and get her meals anytime of the day. They also offer a fantastic activity program at this facility including an exercise class three days a week that my mom also really enjoys to participate in. Overall she has made her self right at home and is very comfortable in her new living environment.

The staff have bent over backwards to make sure we were happy. They answer all our questions. One of the nurses Dot is phenomenal. They are so caring and kind and make us feel like part of their family. The food is good and they offer lots of choices. They accommodate my mom's dietary needs. I would recommend this community with no hesitation.

This is a beautiful community and everything is working out very well for my father. This is the perfect place for him, we are very pleased with everything they have done for us. Everybody is very nice and friendly. They offer great care, so we know he is in good hands. The food is wonderful and he is trying some activities. He enjoys the bible study class and the exercise class. I know he is safe and they are taking good care of him. I would absolutely recommend it.

We're very pleased with how things turned out at Edencrest at Riverwoods! It's a very nice looking place, and the people we worked with were a huge help throughout the whole process!

The people here are so happy. We would have moved here, except they were opening another location closer to me, so we were able to move to the new one. Which is pretty much identical, and so wonderful!

Mom was reluctant to move, but she loves it. It's new, and the residents that have moved in have become a really close-knit group. She loves the food, she loves everything! Pat and Dot have been really good. Everyone from the manager to the janitor have been just fantastic. The only complaint is that the coat closet, when you first walk into the room, doesn't have a door.

This was the best solution to meet our needs. Food is excellent. They offer exercise, bingo, and group activities but could use a little more variety of activities that is why I rate it 4 1/2 stars. It is very clean, Friendly, A Great Value, and offer Great care Services. My overall rating of this place is 5 stars. I am very pleased with this facility and so Is my loved one. I would recommend this place if your searching for a great assisted living home.

Edencrest was also very nice and we were also very impressed with this community. Theresa was our tour guide and very helpful. was a very pretty place.

Thank you for a great tour! We felt very welcomed! The life enrichment director, went out of her way to make mom feel so special. What a great group of caring people we hope this all works out so that mom will call Edencrest home soon!

From our initial visit, assessment, and move-in, we have been impressed. Staff, building, food, activities have all been favorable. My mother has tried not to be happy there, but she enjoys the food, flexible mealtimes, says the staff is friendly and respectful and facilities are well maintained and clean. She is still avoiding activities,but they have a wide variety to participate in, they ask but do not push. She particularly enjoys it when staff has their children visit. Would highly recommend based on experience at this time.

Mom is a new resident at Edencrest and the community is still very new and working out all the bugs. I really feel like we've made a great decision for Mom and I feel that she is in great hands, although they can use a bit more staff at night. Not sure how quick the response level would be if something were to happen in the night hours with the lack of staff during those hours. There are plenty of activities to keep the residents busy and although Mom probably doesn't remember what she ate from one day to the other I think she likes the food. One of my sibling ate there and I heard no complaints. Edencrest is a very great place for Seniors and I'm sure that with time it will only get better.

I really liked this community as it was pretty new and nice looking. It is an assisted living and I do not think my mom was ready for assisted living which is why we did not choose this community. When I toured, the staff was very friendly and helpful. If mom was going into assisted living, we would have chosen this place.

Bickford is a good community. The food is made daily right there. It's so good that my Aunt refused to let us take her out to eat! She didn't want to miss lunch. They don't have a lot of activities but it is set up so that the residents can walk freely inside. Must have permission to leave, however family is welcome to come and take them out. There's also a court yard and garden spot they can visit on their own. My aunt is glad to be able to come and go outside in that area. The staff is very friendly.

I would say to have them explain all charges & what it all covers, care plans and etc. To help them make their decisions so their not shell shocked. When a statement comes

Food was not great. Staff was amazing! So helpful and kind! Activities were fun and engaging. Wish bingo was every day. Dining was the only negative, food was unappealing and not a lot of choices. Definitely could improve in that area.
