Holiday by Atria

It’s always difficult when you’re trying to find the right place for your elderly parent to live and you really want to make sure that you find something that has a bright and uplifting atmosphere and that’s exactly what The View at Lethbridge is. Their staff is so nice and helpful, even if they don’t know the answer to something they always try and point you in the right direction. The food is really good too. The other residents are very friendly and welcoming and the community does a great job of getting everyone involved with fun activities like their Friday night socials, bingo, and even field trips. They have a bus specific to their facility and will drop him off at any door drop off that he wants to go. If the bus is down for some reason, they’ve even gone so far as to pay for his taxi! Their rooms are paid per square footage, so they get to choose what really works best for them and it’s so nice because some of the rooms have patios right off the rooms. Lifeline, cable, and transportation are all included. If I had to choose all over again, I would still choose this place. The only thing that I didn't love about is the lack of wheelchair accessibility doors. My dad is a smoker and the doors leading outside to the smoking area are very heavy and have no ability to open on their own. I hope they rectify this situation. Other then that my Father is very happy at the view.

Our loved one is doing very well at Palmer Hills community. He is adjusting to his new home and we are very satisfied that he is very comfortable. The staff and the management are extremely helpful and accommodating. I really like that it is a working management, they are right there with the staff members to help out in any situation. They provide three meals a day that they serve restaurant style. The food is very tasty and presented nicely. If a resident doesn't feel well they will bring their meals to their room. Our loved one looks forward to going to the dining room to socialize. They do provide activities for the residents and encourage them to participate. They have monthly and daily activities listed for the residents. They have benches and walkways to go outside and enjoy the fresh air. His room is very nice and he has a balcony that overlooks the nicely landscaped grounds. I already have recommended Palmer Hills to others.

We were very impressed with this community and the staff was friendly and did a great job with our tour, they took their time showing us around and answering our questions. They offer a lot of different amenities to their residents, it's bright and open and deserves a tour to see for yourself.

It was a tough transition for my mother in law, and her move to this community. However after being here for a while, she is doing good now. We do feel comfortable with her move to this community. She is safe, and in good hands. They have a lovely staff, and they have been helpful when needed. The community, and her room are nice, and clean when we visit. We have not heard any complaints about the meals. She just gets upset because she can't eat everything like the other residents due to her diet restrictions. There are plenty of activities offered for the residents. The experience is going well for us in this facility, and it is one would we recommend to our friends.

I'am satisfied with my fathers move to this community. He is doing well, and everything has worked out great. This is a good community with kind people. They have a good staff, and they are great to work with. I do feel less stressed out because I know he is in good hands. They do a great job with the cleanliness around the facility. There are good activities offered, and nice meals provided. This is a community I would recommend to my family, and friends. It has worked out very well for us.

This community offers a lot of activities and they are good at getting the residents involved. The caregivers work well with my mother in law. She has complained about the food. They have a company on site that helps with medication and laundry. The community is clean and the grounds are taken care of. I would recommend taking a look at different communities to make sure you find the right one.

What impressed us most was the light, cheery looks as well as attitude of staff. It obviously affects the attitude of the residents. We have found friends in the short time here - first month. We toured several homes and found this one - so glad that we made this choice.

We are very pleased so far with our experience at Churchill Manor. My father has been there now for almost 8 months. The staff have been wonderful, extremely helpful and friendly. The suites are spacious and well maintained, the building and grounds are beautiful. In this particular residence the access to the doctor and pharmacy made the transition from independent living to assisted living in a different city very easy. There are lots of activities available and although my father isn’t much of a joiner, he is slowly staring to take more interest.

My grandmother has had a rough time with her transition here but the staff and management have been very flexible and accommodating with her. My grandmother is not much on going to the dining room she does do breakfast there every morning and the one thing she really loves is having her hair done every week. This community is just beautiful the staff is friendly and caring and I have already recommended it to several of my friends.

I am very pleased with what I saw when I visited my friend at this community. The staff were greeting her by name. There is an ambassador that has made her feel comfortable and came to get her for lunch. She likes that her Pharmacist is around the corner. The community is very clean and the grounds are beautiful. The residents all had smiles on their faces and I would recommend this community.

I really like the place, but I do believe it's understaffed...

I am moving into Maple Suites in August. Looking forward to this new adventure.

Durham Regent wasn't as active but did allow smokers. The staff was helpful in answering all our questions and the surrounds were pleasant maybe in hind sight, this community may have been a better fit for my sister-in-law.

I want to start out by saying that Birch Heights is a beautifully well-kept and clean community. The staff is outstanding. They are very caring and friendly. The problem is that the food is not good. I have eaten there and they do not provide healthy choices for the dietary needs of the residents. If it doesn't improve drastically we will have to move my Dad to a place where they will accommodate the dietary needs of the residents. The service is very slow and they try and hurry the residents when they finally do get served. If they run out of healthy choices which they often do, they substitute a healthy meal with a sandwich. In addition, when I ate there I noticed some of the food is very salty which cannot be good for the residence. My Dad is diabetic and bread is not a good substitute meal. It is a poor dining experience for the residence. I hate to say this because everything else is a perfect fit for my Dad.

I have not heard anything negative about this community. The staff are really nice and helpful. The community is clean and it is a nice environment. The grounds are well taken care of. They have a full dining room and the food is good. I would recommend this community.

My mother is doing great with her move to this community. It has been a rough transition, but we do feel she is in good in community. At this community the residents are able to still keep their independence, and have access too help if they needed. The staff is fabulous, they are very kind, and friendly. They do a good job with the cleanliness around the community. We are pleased with all they have done for us, this is a facility I would recommend, the experience is going well our family.

I have been satisfied with my first three weeks at the Chateau. The staff are very friendly and helpful in making me feel at home. I am enjoying my time here meeting some old friends meeting new friends.

The people at Rushdale took excellent care of my mother. She had a strong sense of being independent and having a private life, but also had all the support and community she needed whenever she needed it. The place was always extremely clean and the food nutritious and well-prepared. Overall, a very satisfying experience for my family.

The introduction to Westhaven by [Removed] was right in with the residents at meal time. All features of the residence were shown and explained. All staff are well trained and i have observed friendliness, compassion and experienced assistance given to residents. The rooms are clean, well serviced weekly for bedding changes, vacuumed and dusted, and kitchens are made spotless. Every effort is made to help choose the right room, and changes are made if necessary as vacancies occur. The three meals a day are exceptional, well presented healthy, with variety and many optional choices. The menu is rotated over a long period of time. Activities are in abundance, Bus trips are made daily to one of the categories mentioned for the day. Shopping, Dr.appointments, grocery, malls, churches and sight seeing. I have visited two other retirement communities and nothing can prepare.

Mom is doing great since moving into this community. The staff are terrific they are accessible and friendly. They have two on site home care services. Mom loves the food and they offer a wide variety of healthy choices. They offer good sized portions. The grounds are beautiful. They have a garden, large walkways and all the rooms have patios. They promote family visiting as they offer a buffet once a month for families. This is an active community and I would recommend it.
