Holiday by Atria

I have been here now for 3 months and I could go back to my home now but I've decided that I really like it here and I'm going to stay. It has really helped me with the social aspect of my life. There are activities which I really like, like bingo and dominos - we play mexican trains a few times a week. The food is certianly adequate. It's not ever going to be exactly how you would cook it but I like the food. I have a lovely apartment with a patio and access to the outside and this is a pet friendly place. I really like it here. I feel at home. The only thing is I think needs to be emphasized about Summerfield is that it's an independent living facility. It's really not a place for Alzheimer's patients unless they have an aid that stays with them all the time.

My wife's mom is the most crotchety, mean person that I've ever seen and she is happy there; it's unbelieveable. She loves it there and that's saying something. She's a litte upset because she just gave up a home and all of her stuff but she talks about how wonderful it is. She's out over a lake and they put in a fence for her dog and she can go eat anytime she wants, day or night. The staff seems great and the value is good. As far as I know, she loves the food. She's a little standoff-ish with new people but she's started to get to now some people there and had fun talking with them.

We chose Rolling Rock because when my brother and I visited, they invited us in with no pressure and we had lunch with one of the resident couples there so that we could ask them all about Rolling Hills Ranch. Rolling Hills is a very easy place to live. The staff know all the people's first names and they greet everyone by name. While I was there over the Fourth of July weekend, I drove my brother everywhere. I took him to a doctor's appointment and he had to schedule a follow-up appointment on 7/24. He wrote down the directions and started driving there, but he got lost and came back to Rolling Hills. Jeanie, the co-manager, found him and helped him to reschedule his appointment for the next day. Rolling Hills made sure that their bus was there and ready for him on the day of his appointment and he felt so good that he didn't have to worry about that anymore.

So far they've been excellent. My mother-in-law requires a little more care than independent living so having Homewell on site has been really useful. She loves the food and the staff has been really helpful. There is still a chance she will need assisted living in the future. Compared to a lot of other things they're quite affordable but they're still not cheap. For the activities, they're always doing cool stuff. They have poetry readings, outings, luaus! We've been really pleased.

We just moved my father there, and it's great. The 2 sets of rotating managers have been very helpful, very accommodating and very wonderful people. Also the residents have been very welcoming and accepting to my father, and that's just what he needed. The facility is top-notch, and while my father's only been there a few weeks the housekeeping and the cleaning services have been great. No trash, no marks on the wall, it's a very well-kept facility. It's advertised as an independent living facility. They were very clear that this is not an assisted living facility but they do regular runs to doctor's offices and grocery stores and they have monthly visits from doctors for blood pressure checks. The activities...I don't really know yet. Dad is not going to do BINGO but they do have a resident who plays the piano and my father sings, so that's really good.

They're absolutely fantastic! One of the things that I noticed right away was how clean and immaculate the place was. My mom, who is quite particular, remarked about how outgoing and comforting the staff is. She's been there for a couple of weeks and she's just fallen in love with the place. She participating in the activities and spending more time outside her room visiting with other tenants and the staff than inside her room. She said the food was good and the grounds are impeccable. I highly recommend Birch Heights!

I just love it, I"m very satisfied. I didn't look at too many more once I saw Hartland Hills. This is way better than the communities I lived in before. They have staff on hand to help with medical needs. They have a very wide range of activities - plenty to keep you busy all day.

Everything is great. The staff is friendly and available, the medical staff is right on top of things. She came from a place that was probably a 1 out of a 5, so the experience at Genesee Gardens is terrific. Jason, one of the Directors, and his wife were wonderful. Matt, who works in the front office, along with Mamie and the nurses stand out. They treat my mother very well, and their costs are comparable to other communities in the area. Medical staff are there within a minute if you ring for them. The doctors, nurses and the Comfort Keepers crew are all on site. They are providing her with so many things to do that my mother says she doesn't have time to sit down to read! She's going to movie nights, church services, remembrance groups.

I would give this place an outstanding rating. My sister-in-law just moved in and my husband and I are considering moving in ourselves! It seems like a very pleasant place to live and it's close to the downtown area of Gig Harbor. I recently had lunch with my sister-in-law and a friend of her's that she's made since being there. We took a nice tour - they were working on the garden and the yard when we were there. The staff is very cordial and willing to help. There are quite a number of activities for the residents to participate in if they're interested but it's not pushy.

We chose The Chateau at Harveston because it just seemed like the best fit for our loved one. The friendliness of the staff and the price of the community, along with everything, really just made the entire package better. I would recommend this community.

My favorite so far! Need to ensure they will have an alcove apartment ready when I am ready to move in

This facility and staff has been amazing. Virtually, as soon as I received a call from Ms. Parker, I also received a call and email from Hartland Hills. They were exceptionally accommodating and had excellent customer service all around. In addition, the visit was spectacular. The services offered as well as the facility are incomparable. The follow-up has been exceptional as well. My mother isn't even there yet and they are reaching out in such a caring manner. Wow. Truly a top-notch organization!!

Everything they advertise is only a fraction of what they truly offer; they are just so great they go beyond what they said they will do. They have made it a great experience for my mom, they introduce her to other residents and they make sure she is socializing with other residents really making her feel more comfortable here. She has not participated in a lot of activities but the more comfortable she gets the more she participates, they just have so many things to do. They serve 3 meals a day and the food is good and I like it, but my mom some times doesn’t like it, she use to be a cook so she is a little picky. From the moment we walked in to Alexis Gardens my mom liked it, it is painted in cheerful warms colors and does not feel like an institution. The exterior has a nice sidewalk that goes around the entire community and they have these gardens were residents can plant some things. We are very happy and my mom is very happy.

Very welcoming environment. Clean, very nice independent living.

Very nice apartments in one building. Dining room easily accesible. Lots of residents out and about. Worked with Cindy. She said she could bring J over to visit. J would have to contract out for care, but facility has a list of referrals.

We checked out a couple of different places and narrowed down our options to The Manor and The Essex House. We decided to go with The Manor because of it's location. We tried the food at The Manor at Oakridge and it is fine. I understand they are going through a bunch of chefs right now.

Definitely the GM was a big selling point, she was lively and energetic and reassured us that my mom would be watched and cared for. Greenwood Terrace was so open and clean, they have tons of windows and gardening projects. Others we toured were dark and had smells. Definitely the value here was the best, my mom has a fixed income and still receives a lot of services that they offer.

What a delightful time we had when Mom toured and moved into Sheldon Oaks. We couldn't have done it so easily if Sara Shafibady (A Place For Mom) hadn't been so helpful and Jonathan and Willow at Sheldon Oaks hadn't been so service oriented! Thanks to all of you, Mom has a terrific place and LOVES her new home!!

Very nice & kind. Clean with lots of activities.

Perfect on everything except for the price just a little high for her budget.
