I have been at ParkLane for a month for rehab and my stay here has been great. The nursing and kitchen staff go out of there way to help me. Everyone does their best. I enjoy going to the activities when not in rehab and think it's wonderful how they include even the residents that aren't able to do much in all of the programs.

The nurses here are wonderful. I know that my husband is well taken care of by this talented staff. This is absolutely 5 star quality service.

I haven't moved there yet. I have toured Brookdale quite a few times and they don't have an apartment for me right at the moment, but they should have one soon. I liked everyone there. I'm sure I will enjoy my stay there.

Mom is off to a great start. We are trying a winter stay first and it is going very well. The facilities are nice and the staff is extremely accommodating.

Very helpful staff. The place is great. Lots of activity and engagement by the community

I have to admit, I've never had my mom anywhere except at Harbour Village in Greendale, WI. And I never would place her anywhere else. She has been there since 2010, started in the Independent Living area, and now in Memory Care. We also live in Greendale, so it was a natural choice for us. The staff, many of whom have been there for years, is caring and conscientious. The suites are small, but mom has the most amazing view, looking out on two gardens. Mom is 94 and going strong! I go to visit several times a week, and also eat there occasionally with her, so if anything were amiss, I would know! If you're looking for peace of mind for your loved one, Harbour Village is your place!

My wife passed away on Nov. 19, 2011. I lived at The Abbey in No. Richland Hills for 5 yrs. Then I felt I wanted to move to a retirement center where there were more people my age. I put down a deposit 1 year ago at Park Place. After 12 months, the apartment size I wanted did not open up. Subsequently, I put a deposit down for Meadow Lakes in North Richland Hills. A week before I was to move in, they returned my deposit--must have had someone willing to pay more. I visited 5 locations. Subsequently, I visited Parkwood Retirement and was greatly impressed: 1. They had a great discount offered for 2016 if you signed in December, 2015. I took it! 2. The size of the apartment was close to the one I was currently living in. My furniture fit just right. 3. Not only was the size and cost great, the staff was very friendly, informed and helpful. 4. I moved in last week and love the staff, the food quality and variety, and the friendliness of the residents! I never thought such a place would be so attractive and accommodating. It's the best! 5. I made the right choice and love it here! I rate it as a 5-star facility. I recommend it to all Seniors! Check this one out before you make your final decision. Oh yes, about a dozen members of our church already live here. It's a great fellowship. You'll love it too. Come join us!

Our experience here at Parkwood has been more than I had expected. The care and friendly attitudes from the staff are reflected in the residents' loving concern for each other. A true family feeling exists here, and there are so many very worthwhile activities that it is hard to keep up, but all are very good and contribute to the camaraderie of those who participate. All in all, more than I bargained for, and much better than I observed in all the other communities that I visited. I am certain we made the right choice

Our experience with The Sterling has been a very good one, overall. The staff here is friendly, professional, and very attentive to the needs of the residents. I like that the community is on the smaller side so that the staff are able to pay more individual attention to each resident. The facility itself is well kept and clean, and they do a good job taking care of the people who live here.

We're very pleased with how things have turned out with Parkwood Retirement! The facility is clean and well kept, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable about senior care. They're incredibly responsive to any communications or requests, and they've done a great job helping my loved one get settled in!

Although I'm sure this facility was very nice, we decided to go with another retirement community.

I think that the facility is very nice, there just needs to be more going on. I don't know what it is but I think there needs to be more activity, more life. I have been surprised at how many growing pains the facility upon opening. I thought there would be things flowing a little smoother. The staff workers have been wonderful though; very receptive and responsive.

The Brielle at Seaview is a wonderful option on Staten Island. It is cost friendly and there aren't any hidden costs. I wish we had this option in Staten Island a few years ago when I was looking for a family member but had to move them to a New Jersey community. Anyone looking for an affordable option as an alternative for a loved one isolated and living at home should look at this beautiful community.

We have been every pleased with every thing. This place has been everything we have hoped that it would be. My mom is happy here.

We moved our mother into an apartment at Sterling. After being there for over 3 weeks she continues to tell us how pleased and thrilled she is to be there. The staff are wonderfully attentive and she raves about the food. All the activities on offer make for an vibrant and engaged group of residents. We cannot express in words how relieved we are that she is so content and well cared for.

We are very satisfied with them. We like the food, and the accommodations. Everything is wonderful, and very clean. We liked how friendly it was. It's a great place. I would give them a five.

Our loved one lived here for a while. They did such a good job, when we moved we went with another Brookdale. It's nice that they have such a large system, it made the move easy. The food here was really good just like it is at the new place.

Our aunt has been at Bellingham in the Personal Care Department for over three years. Mentally we have seen improvement since she has entered the facility. It is a pleasant and engaging environment. The facility is clean and their are always activities to keep the residents busy. The activites director, Paige Jacobs and her staff are great! Always helpful and ready to go the extra mile. Thanks Paige and her group for all you do!!

I want to say thank you to the Administrator and her team for taking the time to listen to my concerns. My husband was admitted in early September and he was very upset being sent to Park Lane at first but during his stay there the Administrator, and her staff made him feel comfortable. The customer service her and her staff provided to my husband and I are excellent. I have noticed and observed that her team are very respectful of the patients and always smiling. Thank you to all the Park Lane staff.!!! Please keep up the good work. Also, I want to thank Melinda Wright and her Activities Assistant, Duree for providing great program to keep my husband busy and to help him not being sad being in the nursing home. Thank you for your compassion and caring.

Overseeing the care of my 94 year old aunt was a daunting task. She was fiercely independent yet unable to care for herself in her home. She rejected home health care and refused to move into assisted living yet could not bathe, wash her clothes, take her medicine, prepare her own meals, and was showing signs of dementia. I heard about the Sterling Aventura Assisting Living/Memory Care community through my aunt’s cousin, who lives there. She felt it would be an excellent place for my aunt, as did my aunt’s doctor. I decided to take my aunt to the Sterling to visit her cousin and while we were there, we received an excellent tour of the Sterling Aventura community. While my aunt visited with her cousin, I met with the Sterling’s directors to discuss costs, levels of care, medical care, apartment availability etc. I felt they fully understood my aunt’s personality (charming yet challenging!), the level of care she needed, and assured me that many residents just like her made successful transitions to living at the Sterling Aventura. I was also pleased that every question I asked was fully answered and I was provided with written materials to take home to help me decide if the Sterling Aventura was the right community for my aunt. On the car ride home from the Sterling, my aunt and I discussed the merits of the Sterling Aventura’s assisted living and memory care community and, to my great relief, she was quite pleased. I knew my aunt would still be resistant to actually moving but at least we now had chosen the right place. When the time came for my aunt to move to the Sterling Aventura, I received excellent support and guidance from the directors and staff regarding how best to move my aunt into the community. The director even recommended a fantastic mover who not only assessed what furniture in my aunt’s home would fit into her new apartment, he arranged the furniture in her new apartment beautifully. My aunt’s first week at the Sterling Aventura was rocky, which came as no surprise, but the staff was exceptional in helping her adjust to her new surroundings (and they continue to be fantastic). Fast forward 5 months: my aunt is now healthier, she’s mentally sharper, she’s socially engaged, and the sparkle has returned to her eyes. Is everything perfect? Of course not, as life is never perfect! Small things happen but they are miniscule in comparison to the problems my aunt was having while living alone and I’m convinced we have avoided huge crises, which would have occurred if she stayed at home by herself. Bottom line: I trust the Sterling Aventura staff, I no longer worry about my aunt’s welfare, and I no longer receive 3 a.m. emergency phone calls from my aunt’s old neighbors saying a crisis has occurred. WHAT A RELIEF! I am extremely pleased with the Sterling Aventura staff and facility and would like to add that friends who visit my aunt are very impressed with the all the Sterling Aventura has to offer. I also feel it is excellent value for the money.
