Navion Senior Solutions

They've done a great job so far, my loved one really seems to be enjoying herself here! She's got a big window with a great view, and loves to watch her bird feeder. The staff here are friendly and very accommodating, and will help with whatever you ask them to do (but you do have to ask!). The lady at the front desk always greets me with a smile when I come to visit. What really matters is that Mom seems happy and content here, and if she is happy I am happy!

Toured with Carol and she really listened to what we were saying and seemed focused on a solution for us, not trying to "sell" us. This was not the "newest" or "fanciest" we visited, however, it did have the best over all feelings of warmth, compassion and home. We met staff members who had been with Northstar Place for 12, 8, 10 years! The ED and nurse over the care made time to meet with us and were genuine and caring. We liked that there was a lot of activities going on and what the residents we met had to say to us about their home. Lunch smelled wonderful and dining room was beautiful. Of all the places we have visited this one felt the best for us.

My mother and stepdad moved into Dalton Place December,2013 after visiting other facilities. At first the transition from her home she loved was difficult but the staff and management were so accomodating and attentive. It was a relief to know that her physical, social, and medical needs were taken care of in such a supportive and caring way. What's so amazing is that the staff and management were so friendly and personable. The environment was homey and inviting. Mother enjoyed the activities and the activity director was awesome. Mother loved bingo and would sometimes miss it due to dialysis. An additional bingo game was added and was named after her. She affectionately talked about her transporter to & from dialysis and many of the staff. She became involved and felt loved. It was such a comfort to know she was taken care of. She had a couple of hospital stays before her death on May 29, 2014 and someone from Dalton Place would always make one or more hospital visits. It was also a reassuring to know that our stepdad's needs were met during her stays in the hospital. We are so happy that our mother and stepdad chose Dalton Place. They loved and took such good care of them. We are forever grateful to them for the relief we felt when leaving from a visit knowing that they were in good hands. Thank you to the staff and management for all you did for them and for us.

After checking around to other assisted living homes, my family and friends and I decided on Dalton Place. The staff treats my loved one as one of their own family. The staff director made the transition one of ease with the paper work, answering questions, and being available whenever I need assistance from him to date. The staff regularly checks and monitors my loved one. The Activities Director has so many wonderful activities for the residence who are able to participate in them. Dalton Place smells so clean at all time and that was a Bonus. My mother told me she is so pleased that I put her in her new home at Dalton Place.

Everything can't be perfect, we know that, but it's good. As far as I know the staff has been a 5 to me, everything I talk about they've taken care of. My mother, she don't get involved in the activities as much as I'd like for her to, I think maybe later she'll get accustomed to them. They contact her everytime they have some type of activity, she loves bingo, but sometimes she'll play and sometimes she don't. This was the most convinient and the people were really helpful. As far as I know, unless something drastic happens today, everything is fine.

So far, sorta good. I say him yesterday and he's a lot better than I've seen him in a long time after they straightened out his medications. There seems to be just enough to keep him busy, there is a piano, so long as he has a piano somewhere that he can get to once in a while. I went to a support group there yesterday and a woman who was coming in to visit someone plays the flute so she played with him and he had a good time with that. He seemed more talkative than he had been in a long time and I could understand him. I had visited it before, it seemed pretty nice to me and it was closer to home. It's spotless, very good, they had a dinner a few weeks ago for anybody who wanted to attend and it certainly wasn't as elegant, but it was very very nice. It gave us an opportunity to meet with the nurses and the staff

Things went well when we put her in for assisted living, but the only thing we've come up against, which nobody told us is we had already had her signed up and everything, my brother in law is power of attorney over her finances, and they told us there was a $3000 non refundable community fee, she was adding it non chalantly like everybody knew about it and they just looked at each other and said they thought the other person told us about it. Everything else has been pretty good, my brother in law says they get your money and then they don't care about nothing and they don't give us attention like when we first went. I know she's satisfied there, she says she likes it and more people come to see her there, she used to say negative things to my husband and she doesnt say things like that now.

Considering the situation they're working with and the type of residents they're working with there's not much more activities they can do, so they're doing the best they can. Compared to the other palces I looked at, I thought they were more of a home situation instead of an institution.

We liked Manning House very much. It had a beautiful outside location which we thought my mother in law would like but it was more money than the rest of the ones we were looking at. We were trying to look for a place where she could stay long term but other than the price point, it seemed very pretty, we loved the location, we loved the place.

My mom has been living at Morningside for about six years. The staff has been great to her and the place itself wonderful! She's able to visit any of the other residents, talk with staff members or simply be alone if she'd rather do that. They have visiting church members come out and have service there, usually once a week, bingo, get their hair done and other activities. The staff will call a family member if they feel it's needed. They have three meals served daily.

I really liked Morningside but my mom picked another place. I was really impressed with them and I though that would have been a good place for my mother.

I chose this community for my mom because the staff really pays attention to the residents. They truly go out of the way to make the residents feel comfortable, wanted and cared for. They do have a library on site but could use more variety, currently have lots of readers digest type books. When I visit I don't see a lot of activities going on that are more stimulating then bingo, they could use a little more creativity with activities. They could get the residents a little more engaged in the activities. The location of this community was really good for my mother because she had been living in the area for over 50 years so she really feels comfortable in this community and has lots of support.

They have a friendly people that really seem to care and take interest in the residents. The grounds are maintained and have plenty of shade, the food is good I liked it when I ate their as a guest. I just overall refreshing.

My husband & I are very impressed with this facility. Mom loves it, no regrets or desire to go back to her house. She says to us 'don't come up here today, I'm busy. I'm gong to bed, hair appointment in morning, won in bingo today & did a zumba class. She fit right in & is doing very well.

Pinewood Square has been the beautiful help that my mother and father needed. When my mother passed, all staff members helped my father get through the worst time of his 92 years. He has help when he needs or wants it, his medications are monitored, he has community (when he is in the mood), and a Southern garden courtyard that allows him to "be" with Mom when he wants to talk to her and feel her presence. I no longer have the worry of being in another state, and the staff contact me with any questions or concerns. An important feature of Pinewood Square is that every room, apartment, and hallway has a view of the "outside world" for the residents and staff. There is no isolated feeling, anywhere (other than the medications lock-up,) due to the floorplan and construction, and this has a major impact for the well-being of everyone. Like many children, I wish BOTH of my parents had been willing to choose assisted living earlier.

She's had some issues getting her meds straight which took about a week, the timing of her doses was off. The day staff seem nice, the night staff is a little thinner and it took them a bit to get used to Mom needing to walk at night for cramps. The food is not very good to be honest, and I heard the same from other residents. It's very processed and canned. The activities are good, and the place is kept very clean. The staff is responsive and haven't left us waiting. Mom has the smallest room, which for the price is decent but it is quite small.

They transport to the Dr on certain days. Their prices were lower than some of the other places.

Smaller than some of the other places I toured but very warm and inviting. The staff are very knowledgable and friendly and seemed like they really enjoyed working there. The residents seemed happy and it is more affordable than a lot of the other larger places I looked at. I like that it is an "age in place" and I think my father would be very comfortable there.

The facilities are always very clean, with friendly seasonal decorations, and the grounds are well maintained year round. Most of the staff are very friendly and helpful, we're always greeted when we come in, and they all know my mom by name.

The information on cost is not consistent with what was given in the paperwork at signing. I would recommend to others.
