Holiday by Atria

When we took the tour of Essex House we thought it was a very nice community. The staff and the tour director was friendly while answering our questions. We just didn't get the warm fuzzy feeling as the place we ended up choosing for my father in law. But had we have not looked elsewhere we would have chosen this community.

Mom is having a fabulous time living here. She has already made friends and gone on a few bus trips to stores and out to eat. She finds the residents to be very friendly and engaging and sociable. The community is clean and very well maintained except for the elevator. The residents living in a 3 story building which is long in length but the building only has 1 elevator for its residents and recently it has been out of service 3 separate times. So for us, that is a safety feature that is a little concerning. The food is hit or miss most days it's very good however there are times where the meals aren't good. The location of the community for us is fabulous it is so close to our home and her church.

Primrose Chateau was a beautiful and clean community that we were going to move my mom into but she tripped and fell so we had to move her to an assisted living community. The staff was very friendly and caring. They answered all of our questions and let us know about all of the activities that she could participate in. The rooms were clean and beautifully decorated. We really intended for her to move in here.

My mother seems to be enjoying her time here in this community. Overall I'am satisfied with her move here, and I do feel she is in a safe facility. They have a great staff, and they have been kind whenever I visit. The only issue I had been with the move in process, they promised someone would help us. When the day came for me to move mother into her apartment, nobody was there to help me. Other than issue everything else is working well. They do a good job with the cleanliness around the community. My mother says that meals can become repetitive, they could use more of a variety to choose from. She is getting involved in the activities they offer. She would like more than basic cable in her room. This community is working in the right direction for us, and I would recommend it.

I have no complaints of how things had went during my tour of this community for my self. The staff where on time to my tour and made sure to answer any questions I had for them in detail. I liked how clean the property was and the spacious dinning room they had available. It was just not the right location for me in the end decision.

My mother is still taking some time to adjust with her move to this community. However I'am comfortable with her move here. It is a good community, and she is in good hands. They have good, kind staff. They do a good job with the cleanliness around the community. They have nice activities available for the residents, and provide good meals. I would move to this community myself, it is a really nice community.

Montera Meadows was a very nice and clean community that we toured. The staff was very friendly and answered all of our questions. We chose another community because my mom wanted a different style of community. It wasn't the right fit for her.

My mother has recently made the move into this community and I could have not picked a better place for her to go. The staff have been excellent and I am comfortable with the care they have been providing her. She has been enjoying the dinning experience as well as making friends with the other residents. Overall we are very happy and it has been a perfect fit for my mother. I would defiantly recommend this place to anyone who is interested.

The food at the community seems ok. They offer two menus, however they do change the alternate menu during meal time. They advised us during the tour that they could take my parents to appointments, unfortunately after they moved in we were told they do not have a vehicle that can transport wheelchairs. This community is ok for independent living. We had to sign a three month contract and they will not let us out of the contract even though my parents need more care than they are able to provide.

I'am satisfied with my mothers move to this community, It is a nice community with a good staff. The only thing they could improve on, is the response time when needed for maintenance. Other than that issue everything else is going well. They do a good job with the cleanliness around the community. There are good activities offer, and they provide nice meals for the residents. I know is she is in good hands in this community, and I would recommend it.

Gorgeous, clean community. The staff was very friendly they answered all of our questions. We were looking for a smaller community with more assisted living options.

Pinegate is a nice community. They keep it clean and well maintained. The staff is friendly and they do offer activities for those who want to participate, I enjoy reading myself. They also have entertainment come into the community. They offer three meals a day. Some of the choices offered are a little off the wall for my choice of meals. There are buses for going outside of the community but the two different times I've signed up the bus driver never called me back, so I've given up on that. I'm waiting for my wife to join me and so as she gets out of rehab, she is more outgoing and talkative so I think it will get better once she gets here. I would recommend Pinegate to others, it all depends on their likes and dislikes.

Overall, i am pleased with the facility. The care is adequate and staff appear to be friendly every time I have visited. The facility is clean and well kept, and lawn and garden areas are quite presentable. Meals are very good and snacks are always available. Staff in dining area are pleasant and do many things to please residents. There are daily and weekly activities and it appears that most residents enjoy one thing or another. This facility is priced quite high in my opinion for amenities received, and there is no assistance from health care services. This is totally a private facility. Lastly, i'm not sure if all staff are experienced in dealing with seniors who have onset or second stage dementia which can be challenging, but they do try to resolve situations quickly.

It has been an adjustment process for my father with his move to this community. He is doing okay, and I'am comfortable with his move to this community. They have a good staff, and they have been very friendly. His only complaint has been the portions of the food served, and his previous community had a salad bar. Other than that issue everything else is working out well. They do a good job with the cleanliness around the community. It is a nice community, and I would recommend to my family, and friends.

On my tour I saw many extra areas for people to enjoy. Since I was looking for a respite stay after a surgery this was not the ideal place to be when recovering.

When I needed help after a surgery I decided to use this community for a respite. I was given some meals that were okay, they also help keep my room tidy. It was a nice experience to have their help when I truly needed it.

With any new move there are always going to be some issues that come up but thankfully the staff here is very open with communication and they have been working with us to resolve our issues.I expect as time goes on things will get resolved. It appears that the other residents seem to like the food. Mom is not quite at the point where she can join in any activities but we are hoping soon. The community is clean and well maintained.

This is a nice clean community. Dad will be moving into a nice sized cottage that has a full kitchen including a stove, refrigerator and a small dishwasher. The cottages offer an attached garage. You do have to go to the main dining room for meals. The staff seem nice and helpful.

My mom is in a good community where she can have support but still be active on her own. She is still settling in but there is many things she can do here.

My sister-in-law is doing fine in the community. She is enjoying the environment and the community.
