LCB Management

It is brand new it is bright and clean. The individual room and furnishings are very nice. It was a respite stay, very short. The staff was friendly and attentive, and wearing nice uniforms. They had daily activities and outings to movies, bowling. It was nice for residents in memory care. He must have enjoyed the meals because he gained weight. The meals were flavorful and nutritious.

The staff has been very accommodating to my father's needs. They have been proactive in their approach to make my father's stay as safe and enjoyable as possible. I have only positive things to say.

Overall they do a good job here! It's a nice looking facility, although I do feel the decor could use an update, and it is always well kept and clean looking. The staff are friendly, helpful, and easy to work with.A month ago I would have said they could use some work on the food as well, but that has been improving and I've seen a lot more variety on the menu lately. I do think they could use a few more mentally stimulating activities, something a bit more creative and innovative.

This was one of the places we looked at when we were looking for care for Mom. I had to start looking for options on very short notice, and I appreciated that they were able to get me in for a tour so quick. It was a nice looking place, and the administrator was friendly and helpful. The rooms were a little smaller than some others that we looked at, but overall it was a great place. It's not what we ended up choosing, but this was our number two choice.

We really like this community. The staff are amazing, they really make you feel like you are their only customer. They really understand the value and care in showing special interest and care to every member of this community. It is very expensive, but you feel like you are getting a lot of individual attention for what you are paying.

We ended up choosing this community, and it is good so far. They could improve on keeping personal items with that person. My mother-in-law came in with seven pairs of pants and they are all missing now. Apparently there is problems with the laundry, but supposedly they have changed their procedures. She shares a room. They take them out about once a week or so to different places like art museums and shopping centers. Overall we are satisfied.

We selected Traditions for quality of staff and "feel" of the facility. More "homey" than most of the newer ones; less like a hotel and more like a home. Apartments vary in size and configuration and have two burner stoves which are hardly ever used, but often help the new arrivals feel a little more independent. Staff has been very forthcoming about the pluses and minuses of assisted living; very responsive to individual needs.

I needed a place for my sister to stay while I went away for a week. She has short term memory loss and I needed a place where, if she woke up and 3am and decided to go home, it would not be possible. Everyone was very kind and caring and my sister really enjoyed herself. I would definitely use Albion Court again. I was able to take a much needed vacation knowing that my sister was safe and well taken care of.

(Value Not Rated) They seem to have plenty of activities for the residents that wish to participate. What really impressed me about the community is how clean it is and there are no odors. It looks like a nice little residence, more of a home like feeling then an institution. The staff is very accessible which gives us some peace of mind.

Staff is friendly, helpful, competent. Management is inept, out of touch, unresponsive. My mother is happy there, I feel that she is safe. Pricing is very high.

Even in a difficult unit like the Memory Care unit my Dad is in, the staff are caring and very attentive to his needs

The staff is great but they are not great returning calls after you are moved in. Otherwise pretty good place.

The staff is very friendly and attentive to mom. The transition was relatively smooth.

To qualify ratings: admin turnover has been concerning, ranging from Exec Director to Financial Director to Head of Health/Nursing and Activities Director. The number and diversity of activities have decreased. To me this is the biggest issue. Unclear why staff turnover is occurring. Friendliness score high because of the everyday staff/aides who work very hard and are very amiable and attentive. My fear is that these folks working for an hourly wage don't get paid enough. LCD should consider these workers vital to the everyday success and smooth operations of The Residence. And continuity is likewise vital for the elderly residents. More senior communities are opening and trying to attract staff. It could be that some LCD people have been lured away by higher pay/better benefits.

The place is clean. Staff very helpful and friendly. Facility location perfect. Prices on average with other facilities.

I was at the residence and South Windsor farms for 2 or 3 months. The residence is very expensive though that is why I moved to the villages. The Residence - if I didn't have the experience with [name removed] and [name removed] which was a bad experience. I for am waiting for an answer from coporate. Depending on my answer from corporate I would say as far as everything else goes in the residence I would give them a four but regarding this problem I had I would give them a two and if they report nothing to me I would give them a minus five. I hope this helps you.

I love most of the Aid's they take care of mom. The place is clean. They do a lot with their memory care patients. They have different theme parties like once a month for all residents. They incorporate Memory Care with their Assisted Living Residents when they have music. They have a garden for memory care members. I really like their Memory Care Director as well as their activity coordinator. Memory Care go out for coffee on Monday. Out to lunch on Wednesday and sometimes Sunday afternoons they bring them for a ride on the bus.

The care services is a 4 because they are a short staffed. However, it is a clean facility and decent food. Need to hire more staff for evenings. Yes, we would recommend the community to other families based on the experience so far.

The staff for the most part are great. They take no time to arrive if they are called. That's a big plus. The food if better that most places I've been to but there always room for improvement especially in the variety. On the down side they way overpriced

If the facility's doctor is chosen for resident's primary care, be prepared to bring urinalysis (done at the facility) to a lab to be processed. I did not realize they have no courrier to do that. We have had a couple issues of our parents missing hair or podiatry appointments there in the facility because no one called to remind them or went to their room to get them. (Both parents have significant memory loss). Cable TV service leaves A LOT to be improved on. We bought 2 new TVs, when told that perhaps the issue was their original TVs. It apparently is the facility's very outdated in house cable/internet system that should be updated for the price residents pay to have it. Most seniors do not understand streaming the programs they want to watch, and regular cable programs have very grainy reception. We've given up trying to rectify this. On the positive side...very friendly staff, very clean facility, food has been great, dining room open all day is a nice option for those who don't rise early for set breakfast hours.
