We went to see this community yesterday. Lovely place, resort like living in a nice area, packet of information received.

I WENT HERE AND THE NURSING HOME SECTION LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD WORK FOR HIM

Great place and people but too isolated for mom.

Excellent for me, too big for ma.

Excellent facility. My mom really liked what she saw and the conveniences available. Manager is very personable and was able to verbalize well the pros and cons.

Wow!!! This place is exceptional. Beautiful. 6 acres of grounds with walkways. Balconies, bay windows. Medication dispensing machine. People they know. bridge, transportation anywhere in Lexington 8-5:30. good location. will move them to 1st floor in 1 month. YES!!

This is the nicest residence we have visited. It has the atmosphere and buildings of a small village and is on pleasant grounds and within walking distance of outside facilities, including cinemas, shopping mall, nice grocery store. Right now it is at the top of our short list of CCRCs.

A gorgeous facility. Plenty of staff around big rooms and lots of amenities. Plenty of availability. They have a school attached so no way no how. Phooey!

larger apartment w/dining room, transitional services avail - stay in unit longer. Larger community, 6 acres to walk; full size kitchen

We were impressed. Have spoken to the director a couple times - very friendly & helpful.

The staff was all very nice, and treated my mother respectfully the majority of the time. And the memory care unit they were definitely understaffed at times, and my mother was also disabled by injury on top of her dementia. For her safety, since they could not guarantee being able to check on her as frequently as we thought was safe during the day hours, one of us had to quit their job to stay with my mother from 7:00 a.m. until about 5:00 p.m. at night and then another stepped in until 8:00 p.m.. the manager on the memory care unit was very responsive and very good about educating their staff about my mother's needs as some of her needs were not anything that they had to take care of prior. Especially when she was on hospice, it was a learning curve but they were at least willing to help. The bad side of things I believe I understood that they were short on janitors, and that did seem Apparent at times throughout the entire facility, but for sure on the memory care unit. The Experience wasn't bad though, the facility itself offered a lot of options, lovely gardens, areas to walk that were all wheelchair accessible.

The staff is very accommodating to Mom's needs. Nurses have been great and the Physician's assistant and doctor who come to the location have been wonderful to work with. Overall good communication from the nurses/medical staff. Annual cost increase was not unreasonable, actually less than I expected. We feel Mom is safe and well cared for. And the rooms and common areas are very nice.

The place is very clean but at times her bathroom not clean. They are understaffed at times. At times she has soiled herself and staff may not know. We know that's hard for them to "catch" when it has happened it it's hard for us to see that. It's also very expensive.

I wanted some place that was close to where I live. It's about 15 min away. Just about everything else was closed to 30 min from my house.

I toured this facility and was very impressed. We really liked it and would have possibly chosen it, but they only had one apartment available and we couldn't meet the deadline. I was very impressed with the assisted living director. It's a very nice facility, apartments are a little on the smaller side but nice.

This facility is very good. Mom is ecstatic to be here and she loves it. The staff is super nice all the time. I love going to visit mom and eating with her. It's a beautiful setting. It's pricey, but you get what you pay for. Communication with the family is pretty good. They're busy, but do always get back to you. They offer transportation, which mom recently used and was happy with. Housekeeping is weekly and they do a great job. I would recommend them to friends and family.

Clarendale of Chandler is wonderful, for the most part. They're a little lacking in communication for family members who are long distance. Other than that, they are absolutely wonderful, they are an absolute God-send. They just need to work on their distant family communication skills.

On the positive note - the residents do not have to wear masks. They receive very friendly care from the staff and they seem to genuinely care. He has ben able to keep a lot of his independence. They also have a men's club as well which is nice and a lot of activities as well. They do have an app and they comminute to the families on all the activities your loved one will participate in. Sometimes they have photos as well. You can also send messages and cards through the app. They have a personal car service that he is able to pay to take him down and back to whenever he wants to go or they are able to order an Uber for him too. He is in a very big studio and it works out great for him. On the downside from what I understand the transition was a bit tough. They did not do his laundry for a couple of weeks when he first moved in because they did not know they were supposed to be doing it. There have been some communication issues, they do get resolved when brought up but they do have to be addressed. The employees are wonderful but I do think they are mad they have to wear masks every day and it slows them down. There was some inconsistencies on the mask policy as well but those seem to have been dropped. They staff really have been great and they bend over backwards. Overall it is a wonderful place, especially if you are independent. There are just some things they could improve on.

Our loved one is much happier here at Windsor Celebration than she was at a previous community

We've had a great experience so far at Avalon of Bloomfield. I would definitely recommend them. The transition for mom was very easy. It's a small facility as far as number of residents, which is a huge plus for us. The meals are great, mom hasn't complained which says a lot. She is a very picky eater and has been happy with the meals. They do offer a variety of activities and outings. Mom has enjoyed the outings, but doesn't participate in as many of the activities as it's just not her thing. The staff is extremely helpful. Facility is very clean. I would definitely recommend them!
