MBK Senior Living

So far it's going pretty good. Everybody that works there is really nice, she likes the people. The food has gotten better. It's not terrible, but there is still some room for improvement. There isn't a really good bible study, and a little more church involvement would be nice.

A wonderful place. Large rooms, activities for every level and friendly people. A good place to retire and enjoy the Woodinville area.

Tuscany is mis-categorized as Assisted Living; it is Independent Living with pay-as-you-go care services available. The property is well-located near shopping and restaurants and has scheduled transportation to many places. It is often difficult to schedule individual trips without significant advance notice, and waits for returns can be long. The units are attractive but at the high end of the cost scale with very little storage space. The complex was sold in 2014 to a Japanese investment firm and many changes are underway, not all to the liking of the residents. There has been a huge turnover in personnel. In addition, the trees that make the property so attractive have invasive roots so they are being cut down. Apparently there was a lot of deferred maintenance that the purchasers did not investigate so extensive costs are forthcoming for a new roof, plumbing repairs, painting, landscaping, etc. Multi-year leases with guaranteed limits on rent increases have been eliminated in favor of single year leases with yearly increases meaning rents will rise more rapidly than in the past. Many residents are in their 80's & 90's and use walkers. The company claims they are aiming for a more youthful market but haven't succeeded, and their advertising shows a daughter with her obviously elderly mother, not exactly what would attract younger, more active seniors. Most of the company's other properties are assisted living. The units range from studio to 2BR villas with a full DR and garage, by far the most spacious of any place we visited.

I enjoyed visiting, and having lunch, at Northgate Plaza Merrill Gardens. I really love the friendly staff, and the access to a park across the street. I will contact them when and if I sell my house. It is in a neighborhood which I could enjoy, walking distance to Northgate Shopping Mall.

My Dad and his Wife really like the layout of the one bedroom with a den. We also had lunch, which was very good

I was able to spend some time at Tuscany at McCormick Ranch and was very impressed with the environment and staff were very professional and welcoming, I was able to dine in the beautiful dining room and have a fantastic meal. The finishes are thoughtful and ceilings are high. When can I move in? Thanks for having me!

They were very nice and wonderful to work with. They could not have done anything more than they did. I was exceptionally pleased with the place. Huntington Terrace is a really nice place, however it turned out not to be for mom. Several of the residents have dementia, and the people there do a great job caring for those with dementia, however mom does not and needed to be around others she could converse with more.

They are good people with lots of activities and mom has gotten involved and is comfortable there.

Overall I think they do a good job at The Commons at Dallas Ranch. It's a nice looking, well kept, clean community, and the people all seem very friendly. The staff is very pleasant, and they do a great job working with my loved one. They'll come in and do extended visits with her, and she loves being able to sit and talk with them. She hasn't quite settled in and complains to me fairly often, but I think they're doing the best they can to make her feel at home.

Services at the Huntington Terrace in Huntington Beach is good. I've only been there once, so, my experience is limited. I'd give them four star. Staff is friendly, caring and professional. Lots of activities are offered. My mother stays here and seems to be happy. She is staying in a one bedroom. There were some issues, but I think my brother is resolving them directly. Overall, we are happy.

I have worked with the staff and owner at The Palisades for several years as an advisor who helps secure veteran's benefits. I have always found them to put their residents' needs first and have worked to provide the best in care services. A partnership with the University of Colorado brought innovative physical therapy approaches that significantly improved the well-being of the residents. They frequently host community meetings to share the latest information about issues of the aging population and what families will need to consider in the future. I believe the recent change to MBK Senior Living is a positive move forward as it builds on the ideas of the previous owner and adds a broader understanding of how to best serve our community. I think they are well on their way to being one of the best senior communities in Colorado Springs.

Lovely light rooms and better kitchens, nice rooms and gazebo in nice yard.

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for a loved one. I thought this was a very nice looking place. The facility itself was clean and well kept, and the staff all seemed very friendly. They specialize in memory care, which was a big plus for us, as we knew it would mean the caregivers would be prepared for the unique challenges a dementia patient faces.

The point system to figure out the "extra care" she will need is unclear until you get the bill. There needs to be a gray area for the care provided that is extra. Dementia is very broad and it's not fair to assume she is at the worst side of the scale. The cost for a very small room is very high to begin with so to add services that may not be required seems very unfair. I was told she will be watched so to be clear, we will be watching how well she is being watched.

So far I have been really pleased with the quality of service. All of the staff seems to remember all aspects of my dads life and his experiences at Chancellor Gardens but they remember me and my husband as well. I have been very pleased so far.

Liked the grounds and area. 5 minutes from my house. Square shaped layout. Smaller than Westmont. 3 1/2 stars. Reviews of this place worse than Westmont in terms of staff and management turnover.

has possibilities - nice floor plans

I want to give them an overall four. They’re a clean community. The staff is friendly. They’re a little bit more expensive than I would have liked. The care services met our needs. The activities were also satisfactory.

I excepted more care, but they’re an assisted living community, really. It just wasn’t a very good fit, but I have learned a lot since then. It was very clean. My advice for people to really know what they’re looking for. The food is okay. There is enough parking.

I think it's great, I have a wonderful room. I think the staff is really wonderful. The food could be improved, I think it's the recipes. They are very good about being available for questions or concerns. For a while they weren't taking very many trips, but now that is picking up. I would like to see them do a swimming trip. I liked the spaciousness, the grounds are very nice as well.
