Monarch Communities

Liked facility & people, though the 1BR rooms are likely too small.

Excellent and thorough tour given by Susan I loved her caring and thoughtful manner with my father.

High care level offerings in assisted living; solid Medicaid transition policy. Nicole is very nice and seems caring.

Put a deposit on a 1 bedroom. Will be taking my parents to see. Facility was very beautiful and people very nice. Definitely would consider this.

Good location.

have two units in Memory Care. sounds like great facility - 3 levels of care in secured unit. 33 residents, 40 unit capacity. Building a secure wander garden. 3/4 aides to 8 residents. Care coordinator is point of contact. Trips, activities. "No one is bored here." Nurse on unit from 7 am to 9 pm.

The residence is very nice.

a good fit for my father-in-law. Lots of residents with pep in their step. Population is 1/3 male and average age of all residents is 82-84. Close to shops and major highways. Very impressed with director who made us feel very welcome. Dining Room is on lowest level. Residents are restricted to same table each meal which could be a negative, although you can request a change of table. Room size was adequate. Residents wear emergency beepers around their neck. One year lease required, although we were told leases could easily be broken.No discount for veterans.Nice kitchenette in each unit we visited. Large bathroom with shower and shower seat installed. No daily tidy service. Population is 50% Christian/50%Jewish.

facility was very nice - biggest problem is its too far - but from what we saw and discussed it was definitely a place I would of considered

Nice facility, a little far out. Impressed by the fact that they have 24 hour/day RN coverage in house.

Visited. Very nice.

Liked this one best. The units were small in Assisted Living but I would prefer my mother to enter directly to the Alzheimer's Unit when timely to do so. Very pleasant and interesting unit; liked the music and the 'bar' arrangement for eating option. Again I didn't like the decor but I liked it better than Brightview. I liked the location best of the non-city center places. I liked the cinema space and I liked the fact she is going to investigate some kind of arrangement with a local swimming pool.

We are leaning towards Bella Terra for my mom.

Visited. Was impressed with the place. Will visit the Alzheimer's unit next time. Price is right.

The facility was beautiful and amenties were great. Distance would be a small issue especially in bad weather. Reflections unit very small just seemed congested.

very nice

Visited Independent Living. Very nice apartment. Facility is also beautiful, clean. Walking trail outside with gardens. Residents allowed to set up their own garden. A lot more freedom. Own kitchen to cook in.

I liked Brandywine. It was warm and welcoming and director was so helpful. This is also a possibility.
