Koelsch Senior Communities

It’s a rough transition. The food is acceptable, but my loved one liked it a lot when she first moved in. There are activities. There is an outside area where people can go. Most of the time the staff responds quickly. The Canterbury has more staff than some of the other communities we toured.

We chose Sterling Commons for my father -in-law. Very well run , clean, super friendly. Not cheap but less than a nursing home & much more of a home atmosphere.

There is a doctor that comes into the building. It's a fairly new building, and really a beautiful place with wide hallways and fairly big rooms. They have activities in the morning and the afternoon, if you get bored it's because you don't want to do anything. They have two T.V. rooms. The communication in the beginning about heath problems was little shakey. The food is usually very good, and looks very attractive. The management staff is all really friendly.

This is a nice community, and our loved one seems happy here! It's always very clean, and the staff have all been friendly and professional. We haven't heard any complaints about the food (and knowing how picky my loved one can be that's a good sign!) All that being said, we do feel like they talked things up a bit too much during the sales process. It is a nice place, but after everything they said it wasn't quite what they promised.

I like the openness, where her room is is close to everything so she doesn't go very far. Everyone is pretty friendly. They are starting a support group to where once a month I can go in and talk about things and the way things are going, and I think that's a good thing. It's bright, wasn't dark, the hallways and things like that. I've seen her talk with the other people there, and she seems to be socializing, but she does have her moments.

For what we signed up for, the care is good. I think they're doing a pretty good job. My parents seem happy there. The overall value is the best out there, price-wise. They have all kinds of activities - cards, field trips, movies, music, sing-a-longs. They've got lots of stuff going on everyday. The food is alright. I'd give the food a three.

Brand new facility - grand opening is Thursday, July 11th from 3pm - 7pm. They are a family owned company based out of the Pacific NW with over 50 yrs experience.

This was our (my husband also went)first tour; the facility was immaculate. The manager was very informative and discussed what the levels of care were and the costs for both shared and private rooms. There was a fee for the assessment paperwork. The cost factor was inline for our needs. My husband really liked this facility; there was another family coming to look at the private room over the weekend

Great facility. Ranks high in all aspects.

Director was great. Music every day - singalong. Roommates, and her roomie would have a dog visitor. No cats, yes, some men. People seemed a little lower-functioning than Mom is today. Place seemed a little too back (68 people). Great courtyard. Good energy, lots of care.

Private pay only. A very nice place with good facilities. We liked what we saw. They only have semi-private rooms.

This place was very nice and clean but behind the doors where the residents lived was the smell of urine. It could of been because of the time we came for our visit. We will go back with Mom soon to check out the smell and so she can make a choice on where to place Dad. She is seeing that this needs to happen for both of their well being very soon. We have an appointment for him to see his primary doctor this week and will have the doctor fill out the necessary paperwork to begin the process. I will keep you posted.

I think they're going through some growing pains as a new facility. They've had some staffing issues and a shortage of caregivers, but overall it's a nice place. It's very friendly and very open. They have multiple areas where the residents can walk around. There are lots of things going on and people moving about. It has been a learning process figuring out how to best support my loved one there and the staff there. I visited several other places with a lot less residents and felt like this would be a better fit for my loved one. We'll see how things go as the challenges of dementia progress over time.

I would tell others that the administration lacks overall. I believe the community is short staffed as a whole, in combination of the pandemic made things a bit tricky. We are still waiting on a refund after nearly 2 months. It would have been nice to have condolences from the administration as well to the family, after our loved one's passing. The caregivers are very caring and are wonderful to work with. The follow through could be improved, and the admittance could be improved as well. Both could have had time to reach out to family as a way to improve. The food seemed more intuitional. They had lots of activities for the residents to choose from. It seemed there was always something going on for them.

This facility was a very nice, clean facility with many activities for seniors to do. The caretakers were very accommodating and friendly, and seemed to have a lot of experience with assisting the residents. The rooms are spacious, and the food is pretty good as well! Like most facilities, they could always use more caretakers and less administrators. They do provide doctors, dentists, that will come to the facility if you are unable to take your family member out.

I really like Copper Creek Inn. I toured here fro my loved one, and really appreciated the openness of the community. It's bright, open place. However, I saw that they did not offer any outings for the residents. I really wanted that to be part of my loved one's lifestyle, so I decided to go with another community.

I have no complaints about the tour I had taken of this community. The staff where on time to our appointment and made sure to answer any questions that we had for them. It was just not the right choice for him in the end decision.

The rooms at this community are not as nice as the entrance to this community. The staff I met seemed nice and they say they do encourage the residents to be social and not spend a lot of time in their rooms. They seem to offer a lot of nice amenities. I would recommend that if you look at this community you go at a meal time. Make sure to ask about the activities offered to see if they would be something your loved one might be interested in.

Placing loved ones in ANY care center is difficult but 'The Gardens' is a wonderful home, The facilities are welcoming and clean, the staff is fantastic. Like most facilities, the food is not the best but acceptable. It is costly, but most care facilities are expensive. Would recommend this facility.

Very lovely facility. Was disappointed that rooms did not have separate baths. Rooms were spacious and attractive. Staff was very friendly. Very nice dining facility. Director gave good tour of facility and was warm and friendly. Felt that large of a facility would not work for my relative with their dementia as too much of a risk of them falling.
