Kaplan Development

I would say shop around. Sometimes they feed my loved ones big portions of junk food before dinner.

My loved one was previously a resident at All American Assisted Living at Hillsborough and the overall experience was okay. I won't go into detail about why I gave the scores that I did. Let's just say that we moved my loved one to a different Assisted Living facility which also provided Hospice Care.

Her apartment smelled like urine and her toilet was always filthy. They let my mother fall in the shower. She broke her tibia and fibula. While in rehab, they said she would require more care than they could provide and did not let her come back. They offered to reimburse my mother some money because she wasn't in the facility more than she was. I thought that was very nice of them. However, they never did reimburse her.

If we could afford somewhere else to go that was close. We would move.

Most of the staff is great! There are a few that don't seem like they want to be there. There are a few who would rather be on the phone than sit with the patients.It was new and lower cost from other places. It seemed really clean.

I was previously a resident at Bentley Commons Senior Living Community and the facility/my experience was okay. To me, this facility was awful. All the aides would do is take me up to the third floor to my room. Not all of the aides, but most of the older ones. The med tech, [name removed], never spoke to me. That includes from the first day that she came to give me my medicine. [Name removed], the administrator, is nice and he tries hard. He truly wants the best for his people, I hope he can be rewarded for all that he is putting into Bentley Commons. The food was good at first. One thing that they did do well was showers. As for me, I would never go back to Bentley Commons.

Our family had an in person tour with Bentley Commons and it was just way to expensive and it was not has nice as [community name removed] and had a terrible outside area. It was not going to the place for our loved one.

The common areas are very dated and could use renovation. The apartments are nice. The few of the staff are wonderful. More like a Nursing Home than Assisted Living. It was an acceptable “stop gap” for my parents when I had to move them quickly but if I had additional time to research, I would have found a different facility where their lives would be happy, fulfilled, and a life full of laughter, good food, and caring staff. There are some amazing staff but those folks are rare. Lots of turnover (but that’s typical with post-Covid) and traveling staff who just do the minimal. A trip out to the Dollar Store isn’t an enriching experience in my opinion and some of the events are a bit juvenile. (In my Dad’s words “We’re not babies, just old”). My parents may need a little “gentle prodding” to get involved in activities but they felt like they were being “nagged” to go to activities. Facility didn’t take the opportunity to ask my parents when they moved in what they liked to do and create activities with other residents that may have the same interests. There are 3 meals a day but the food is not good. There isn’t a lot of protein but a lot of cold cuts and salads. There are 2 choices for lunch and dinner with a open-style breakfast. It’s very “institutional” food and nothing like “home cooked food”. No flavor or spices, food is very dry and overcooked.

The staff overall cares for the residents. The food has improved greatly since a new chef arrived in the community. During the tour the Marketing Team told us that our loved one could have family members enjoy dinner in the dining room with them. Then staff later told us that our loved one wouldn't be able to eat meals with family members. This was disappointing to us!

There are no doctors or PT staff, it is all outsourced. The cost is good for the living and meals; however the nurses on staff are good. the nurses can't do what the doctor does. They don't have access to the doctor notes, and instead the family has to reach out to the doctor and find out what the doctor has to say about our loved one.

They have a lot of activites, and keep them busy. The care is supbar, and they are short staffed. We pay for the highest level of care, and sometimes my loved one does not get the attention that is needed. They hardly have any food options available for my loved one.

Friendliness of staff, activities and resident engagement stood out to us at this facility. The staff is friendly and accommodating however, there is no point person that I am aware of to discuss issues regarding my mothers care or if I have questions. Activities are offered, but not to the level that is offered on AL side. Housekeeping is provided but there's no communication about how often services/laundry is done for residents. The facility is clean. I would not recommend at this time due to the high cost of care in relation to other facilities in the area.

I have suggested to others to look somewhere else. Why would an assisted living have most of their "apartments" be for two elderly people to share. If they wanted a single occupancy they needed to pay double the monthly rent.

I really liked Bentley Commons. The facility itself was very nice and beautiful. All of the staff members were nice and there were always staff around, but being my dads case he needed more 1 on 1 care that they were able to give him. In the memory care the staff would bring residents down to participate in activities and were encouraging. All of the people really were great. Unfortunately it just was not the right fit for us.

They could not keep covid out of the facility. She was not the biggest fan of the food that they served. I do think they were expensive especially for the services that were provided. We had issues with communication from the staff and they were just not organized. It was not the right fit for my loved one, she needed more services than they were able to provide. I do not think they should have taken her if they could not provide the care she needed and we were very clear in the beginning. I would recommend the facility is your loved one does not need many services, but if they do I would not.

They could work to improve on the quality of the meals and the timing of the meal delivery since sometimes it is served cold. They also could work to improve on their overall internal medication with the staff in regards to medication changes and relaying that information back to the families.

we toured this community and thought [name removed] was amazing! she helped us answer a lot of questions and also helped us find what we were looking for in a community. we chose another community because they could not accommodate the different needs of my loved one and their partner. it also didn't have that homey feeling we were looking for.

We were not the biggest fan of the location. You walk in and it is absolutely beautiful, they have a big grand entrance. But immediately what we saw was a lot of residents in wheelchairs. The assisted living and independent living residents are mixed so it just has a whole different feel to it and that is not what my mom was looking for.

We chose All American because we were super impressed with the facility itself, the way it looked, the cleanliness, the food, and the staff seemed wonderful. I think they could improve on their communication with the family members.

We have had some issues with the care team, and some of the staff is very friendly and some not so much. However when we were having our issues it was happening during a change in management so that could of been the reason why. Our loved one does say the meals are not the best, the quality is just not very good. We picked this community because its clean and fairly new and the price was good compared to others in the area.
