Jaybird Senior Living

Staff keeps busy with lots of activities and can be very social with other residents. People are encouraged to be out and about, enjoy live music, karaoke, and chat with all. Outside events are very pleasant and host with community. Help was expedient when injured as well.

There was no nurse on staff and they weren't able to assist my loved one with their medical needs.

We almost went with Willows Landing. The facility was very nice and the staff seemed good. The only drawback about it was the room sizes, they were very small. If the rooms would have been bigger, we probably would have gone with them.

I think Milestone is very good. So far I'm happy with my loved one being there. It's a friendly and clean place. I think the staff are good with the patients. And the patients are mostly acute and on the same functioning level, aside from a few here and there, which is good for my loved one socially.

Really the only issue is that the food is really bad. It's like glop, and they don't serve a lot of fruits or vegetables. The portions are tiny, and nobody really seems to care. Otherwise it's a great place. Physically it's really nice. It's clean. They do the laundry, and they really do take care of their residents. The staff is very responsive to needs. But the food is just not up to par.

Prairie Meadows is a small and very friendly community with staff that obviously care very much for the residents there. communication is on an as needed basis and is done through phone call(s) and text messages. they are adequately staffed for the amount of residents they have and they allow pets. they have daily activities which include things like movies in the theatre room, arts and crafts, a garden club, a daily exercise program, bingo, a library, and puzzles, just to name a few. they do offer transportation, but I believe it is mainly used to take the residents grocery shopping. overall, I would recommend this community to others.

The community is very welcoming. The marketing person makes you feel welcomed into the community and willing to bend over backwards to assist the family in moving their loved one in. The staff are very accommodating to the families and residents. They are willing to talk best practices for our loved ones, and willing to work to find the best solution for my loved one. Medication management, dressing, hygiene and bathing assistance are some of the care they are providing my loved one. The room, vacuuming of the room, laundry, all three meals, and transportation is all included for the monthly fee. There maybe additional fees that a family may have to pay. They have van rides weekly, bingo, drumming, games, movies, outside entertainment groups, and more are some of the activities for the residents to participate in. There is an enclosed patio area that the resident can go with a staff member to enjoy their time outside. The food is really good, and my loved one thinks they fed them all the time. My loved one is able to ask for food or snack in the middle of the night or when they become hungry. Snacks are offered in the common area that the residents can easily access them.

Nice assisted living section.

We really liked Artis Senior Living. Our decision just came down to proximity to our family.

Our family had an in person tour and we really like Milestone Senior Living

This was a good community it was just smaller than other places. I felt like it looked more like a nursing home and my loved one would not like being here as much. It would have been harder transition. The community had a great tour with a lot of information.

Sometimes they have activities and sometimes they don't that is a little inconsistent. The value for cost is fair.

We chose Milestone Senior Living because of the convenient location as well as the value for the money. The meals are more like a cafeteria high school style lunch, we expected better quality of food and meals that are more nutritious. The staff are extremely friendly and it appears that it is a very active community. The rooms are a very nice size as well. I would recommend to others looking.

The facility was very nice. It was brand new, sparkly, and clean. It just didn't have many people there yet and felt kind of vacant and not very homey. I think they'll get there. It just wasn't there yet. I liked that it was 5 minutes from my house, and I liked the people I interviewed there. It was a bit more expensive, but not totally out of our price range. It just didn't have the super homey vibe we were looking for.

So far we are having a night and day experience with our loved one being here, the staff are in much better communication and are really looking after our loved one.

The staff that is there are wonderful, they have done a great job given the circumstances but there is a high turnover rate outside of the day to day staff. The director is trying her best, but communication with the staff and families has started to lack. The life enrichment coordinator is fantastic and wonderful, she wears many hats there. We want them to improve, once stability is provided everything will fall into place.

I would recommend you check the community out for your loved one. Lakeside sits on a beautiful lake. The community has a warm and fuzzy feeling to it. The staff communication with the family could be improved; however, this might be because they are short staffed, like everyone is currently. The maintenance team could have more staff members to the team.

The community is very nice and the staff is friendly and helpful. The community is a very good value compared to others in the area. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

Not enough staff to help my loved one.

The director, [name removed], was very engaging and very forthcoming with with advice on making our decision. The facility was very clean however, the individual rooms were quite small but the bathrooms were very big. Decisions yet to be made.
