Jaybird Senior Living

Mom progressed from independent living to assisted living in a 1 br apartment. Then moved to memory care in a good sized bed-sit, no kitchen..and then hospice care in the same place. She passed away in August. There were bumps in the road along the way, all related to her declining health. Overall I'd say that they did a wonderful job. Our only regret was that we didn't make these changes for her sooner. She would have been able to take part in more of the offered activities and make more friends.

My mom is in the memory care unit. The staff and unit are great. The staff in MC is attentive and pleasant. Mom is well cared for.

We wanted to find a memory care facility that was near us and allowed cats. Moving our loved one to a memory care facility was stressful enough for him and we knew if we also took away his cat, it would be detrimental to his overall mental health. The staff at Vintage Hills have been wonderful in making our loved one feel at home and keeping us informed of issues

There was a long period of adjustment after Chapters purchased Artis. It was hard on my father because so many of the staff left. There was no one really in charge for quite awhile. Things just seemed different. I never felt the same about the place although my dad did receive good care

Our Dad is no longer there. We moved him to California where we live. However great experience there and wonderful staff at Country Meadows. I would recommend. The only reason I gave it a 4 is it's a locked unit. Depending on what you're looking for a locked unit can feel confining. However if you have someone you're concerned about with wandering or you are concerned about protecting the elderly from certain visitors then the locked facility is great and I would say a 5. When we were there they had a RN on staff which was extremely helpful and professional

I would say it's a good community but they need to hold on to their staff.

I am no expert on what care should be like. I see people that are in pretty bad shape that require a lot of attention, in my opinion, questionable if they shouldn't be in skilled nursing instead. But what do I know!! Most of the workers try hard to be accommodating, but the shortage of help puts a load on all of them. Unfortunately, this is the world we live in today. The place is clean and does not smell. I wouldn't know if the food was good or not.. my mom eats and does not complain. Keelson was very accommodating when we reached a crisis point and needed a room. I don't know how often activities are encouraged. However the activities director is good with the residents. I would recommend this facility to others. I would recommend this facility to others.

My loved one is a resident at Country Meadow Place. There is no follow through by the upper staff. The nurse, [name removed], was excellent and followed through with everything she said she would do. The others never gave me a new correct contract and they are still over changing the amount that they said they would charge and I don't see where the initial over payment was paid back. I will be pulling my loved one out of the facility.

The process has gone pretty well. The only thing we're working through is a couple of care issues. This is a more individual issue as far as help. Like anywhere some employees are easier to work with. Other than that everything is top notch.

I’ve been a resident here since early February, 2009. Have found that most of the residents here are quite friendly. The food often leaves a lot to be desired, altho the folks in the kitchen make every effort to keep the menus & food as interesting as possible.

My brother and I were looking for an alternative living for our parents. They were doing well on their own but with neither of us living in town we were concerned about what would happen when they could no longer drive. The townhouse at Arlington Place fit the bill. They are independent but it gives us peace knowing that if a problem arises that help is close by. Twice they have used their Life Alert and had immediate help. The townhouse is nice.Our only concern is that the kitchen cupboards aren't easy to access. Our parents eat a meal at Arlington Place so they are not cooking much. We are happy that they no longer have to worry about maintaining a home. We feel that this has been a positive move for our parents.

I would recommend if the person had severe dementia, they are very friendly the only complaint she has is that the food is not very good.

So far, our experience has been positive. My mom seems happy and we have been pleased with the care that she is receiving.

I tell everyone we feel fortunate he is there. This facility offered everything we wanted. I would recommend to others.

I would recommend to others. We picked this community because of the satisfactory, and it was the nicest that we saw.

My loved one was previously a resident at Willows Landing and everything was very good for him during his stay at this facility. The staff, cleanliness and friendliness were great. The food was okay, though my loved one was not easy to please. The care services and value for cost were good. Overall, I would recommend Willows Landing to others.

We love how our Mom has so easily acclimated herself to her new home, thanks in no small part to how caring and warm the nurses, staff, kitchen folks and others are to her. Our only real concern is the regime River Glen uses for getting and distributing medications. The process seems confusing, wonky and a little too bureaucratic.

It's all good but, they should tell what all you need for the room before moving love one in. We picked this community because of the memory care unit.

During the time, that my loved one was there they enjoyed the food. We picked this community, becasue the head nurse at the time was amazing and my loved ones were familar with the facilty. It was clean, and the staff was friendly. It was really good. I would recommend to other families.

I moved to Brown Deer Place from a different Senior Living Community in Iowa City. Brown Deer Place is a total difference and so much more enjoyable. Very glad I made the move to this community.
