Koelsch Senior Communities

We chose this community because it is very close to our home. It is the most elegant, beautiful senior living community in the town of Modesto. The staff always go above and beyond for any needs my grandmother has. The food is so good that our family eats there several times a week. This place is literally amazing.

[name removed] was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. She delighted my mom with 3 chocolate frosties in the Refrigerator! It made her very welcome at her new home. [name removed] was great.

After a month in an acute care facility, it was decided to move mother to Surprise. From the very beginning, the information [name removed] provided and the assurance I felt confirmed to me that this would be a good move for my mother. Conversations with [name removed] regarding mother's needs and care were very reassuring. Even with the difficulties COVID-19 brings, the staff have been so helpful while keeping everyone safe. I have been nothing but pleased, and mother says they treat her like "royalty." How good is that!

Despite the Covid-19 situation, [name removed] found a creative way for my father and I to see the facility with cell phones/face time. Place looks great and employees seem like they really care about the residents.

Northbrook Inn and it’s staff are all amazing! They care for the residents with unparalleled empathy and professionalism at all times. Communication is always clear, timely and transparent. The staff anticipates the residents needs, are proactive and go above expectations. In summary I’m so fortunate to have my wife in their care and not worry myself about her well being! They are all angels??

Great place to live. Food is fabulous. All the staff so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place.

This is the perfect place to live for people 55 and older. During the week, two meals are provided each day. On the weekends breakfast is provided and the Victory Bistro is open for sandwiches. Light housekeeping is provided once a week. My husband and I enjoy living here. We are never bored. All the staff members starting with [name removed] on down are helpful, kind, caring, considerate and hardworking people.

I think the quality of the services is well worth the value. My mom felt like it was a family and the staff as well as the residents were very welcoming. She loved the food. They offered a very big variety in restaurant style dining. The caregivers very good. I would 100 percent recommend this community to other families. I was very satisfied with this community.

My father has been at Amber Creek for over a year now and is very happy. The team does a very good job of keeping him as engaged as possible, which is important as he still is able to function at a pretty high level. I am always contacted promptly if there are any issues and the staff is friendly and courteous whenever we interact. I find the leadership team responsive, proactive and vigilant with respecting to protecting his health, especially during these challenging times with the virus. My father enjoys the food and is very content with his room and the overall accommodations. He always says they keep him out of trouble, so that’s good! I would highly recommend this facility.

The staff at Northbrook Inn Memory Care, [name removed] in particular, were extremely helpful during this difficult time searching for the best memory care accommodations for my mom. [Name removed] was very responsive, thorough, and made herself available at any time to answer all of my tedious questions. Thank you to [name removed] and the entire Northbrook Inn staff for helping guide us through this process during a particularly challenging time.

I have good things to say about Amber Creek Inn. They cared for our Mom when she got ill. She was frightened and crying, which she never does, and they calmed her, figured out her speech was gone, and got her to ER. Nurse [name removed] was really helpful and communicated well throughout the process (I live in northern Arizona.) They noticed she was acting different at lunch compared to breakfast, so they're observant. I feel comfortable with the care they give and our Mom is not easy to deal with.

My 92-year-old dad has been at Solana since July 2018. Needless to say, with the COVID-19 virus upon us, and the facility being on lockdown for months now, it has been quite difficult for everyone to maintain the level of communication and care that has been the norm up to now. We cannot visit Dad except by phone and Skype, and the lack of personal family contact has had an affect on him. There are all those little things that one does around his apartment when you visit that can't be done by us at this point. It took a while for Dad to even understand the extent of the pandemic and why everyone was locked in. His first reaction was, “Why are we locked up? We didn’t do anything.” I am certain a lot of assisted living residents are struggling with coming to terms with this unprecedented circumstance. I want to acknowledge what a wonderful job the staff at Solana is doing, from the director on down. [Name removed] is very hands-on and keen on communication, which is vital. Everyone is pitching in and going “above and beyond” to somehow bring normalcy to this difficult situation, from delivering food three times a day to the residents’ individual apartments (now that the dining room is closed), to checking in to make sure they’re okay, and especially being available and responsive to our phone calls, texts and emails whenever there is some difficulty. [Name removed], who is in charge of the dining, fields our special requests with courtesy and enthusiasm. [Names removed] – I wish I could remember them all – and many others whom I don’t know by name, have just done a great job. This is a lot of work to begin with, and the extra efforts are very much appreciated. Solana has a ZERO infection rate at this point, so it looks like the extra efforts in following CDC guidelines are paying off. This is NOT an easy protocol to maintain, but the staff is working hard to take care of their residents.

I would have rated Friendliness a 10. They have a great staff. I love it there. My mother in law is in memory care. The community is very homey. I can't say enough about them. It is just a very beautiful place.

I am so grateful for the kind, compassionate care my husband is getting at MG. I cannot begin to name names…….afraid I might overlook someone, but those caregivers do a great job meeting needs of people who are not always easy to care for. Dementia care is an especially tough part of caregiving, and those who step up will definitely have shiny halos. Not being able to come inside is particularly tough, but knowing that the MG staff is keeping him safe and well cared for eases my mind immensely. Caregivers are the backbone of successful facilities. Keep up the good work, folks……..we families truly appreciate what you do.

My 87 year old mother has been staying at Solana now for a couple months for respite care. I am so pleased with the level of care from all the staff. She has been thoroughly enjoying her time there, been very safe, and well taken care of. Even though we cannot visit in person do due the pandemic, I speak to her all the time by phone. She always says how kind and sweet her “girls and boys” (the nurses and staff) are to her. She has made friends of the other residents and loves her room looking out at the garden and birds. Everyone at Solana has been so friendly and respectful to her and to our family. The staff always thinks of my mom by giving her fresh popcorn which is one of her favorite treats, and she says the food is delicious. If you are looking for a high quality place for your loved one, I wouldn’t hesitate on placing them at Solana.

My girlfriend moved in 18 months ago having progressing Alzheimer's. The current staff is very caring, thorough, & attentive to each patient's needs. The facility had a quick response to covid-19 by locking down & no visitors allowed to prevent virus cases. FaceTime appointments & phone calls are very accessible. The facility is extremely well kept with no obnoxious smells in the common areas, bathrooms, & bedrooms. The chef has improved the meal offerings with more salads & vegetables than before. A challenge would be to keep the patients weight down with the 3 full meals & snacks offered to all patients all day, with patients with Alzheimer's who can't remember that they just ate already a few minutes ago. Quarterly care conferences for the staff, patient, & family members are done to keep up the proper level of care & keep the family informed. This is a clean, knowledgeable, & caring facility/staff.

The Park community is excellent in presentation, care, concern, providing "home" for all residents. The administrators and staff always go above and beyond to provide for all involved in this beautiful community. The best of all seven facilities in Phoenix and Sun Cities we checked.

Mom needed upgraded care for a bedwound . They were excellent in their care for her . Dad moved in as a companion and was very grumpy but they never took it personally . Mom ended up passing away weeks later and the staff was so gracious to me and prayed and cried with me . The Hospice that came ( Peacehealth was amazing and only allowed what was necessary ) . Dad ended up dying 3 weeks later there also and had a lot of accidents which they cleaned up without a word . The staff was so loving to dad who had a harder process of dying than mom and they were there for him and our family and cried and prayed with us for him also . I just can’t speak highly enough about this place - perfect ? No but they truly care as if it’s their own parents , accommodate every request within reason and really we couldn’t have had a better experience . Highly highly recommend !

Stirling Inn is very clean, no odor, no stains, and the carpet is very well maintained. One day we were there a fire alarm went off and they operated very efficiently and kept everything under control. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming. We noticed not only when we came to visit, but when we came in unexpectedly, they were always very friendly and were willing to help us. They know all the residents by name and clearly treat them very well. The community itself is a little expensive, however we feel the care is worth the price. The respite services were very reasonably priced considering how high the care standards are. The nurses are very efficient and are very well trained in how to deal with seniors who need help with things like bathing. They are very careful, which my mother also very much appreciated. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, they had daily activities available for the residents to participate in. My mom also said the food is excellent.

Solana at the Park provided excellent respite care for my father. My brother and I were very impressed with Solana. Solana offers all inclusive luxury living with outstanding medical services. It was lovely to share meals together when I visited. In fact, on our tour, [name removed] treated us to lunch and a haircut for my father. He had left his glasses in the barber shop and one of the staff brought them back to him. She had even taken the time to clean his glasses. Thirty days came and went with no issues. He was well taken care of. They kept him safe and helped him recover, so he could go home. I would highly recommend Solana at the Park.
