Northstar Senior Living

Our loved one hasn't been here long yet, but so far we're pleased with the community. It's a nice looking place, and the staff all seem to be friendly, caring, and professional.

My dad has been at Emeritus for just a short time, but we have both been very impressed by the friendliness and the welcoming atmosphere. He is still settling in, and has had some unaccustomed mobility problems, but the staff have been great about checking on him and following up with medical professionals. His only complaint would probably be a slowness of service in the dining room.

Dad needed a locked facility and 24 hour care. He had escaped his home several times in the middle of the night prompting our decision to find a memory care facility for him. At Somerford, he has not felt the need to "escape" once since he's been there. At Somerford, he feels "safe and relaxed"....his very own words. The "circular" layout of the halls, the pleasantly decorated rooms and the beautiful gardens give the facility a very open feeling. The staff is also very friendly and kind. They know how to motivate without being "pushy." Everyone, including the maintenance and administrative staff, keeps an eye on the residents throughout the day, gently redirecting as necessary. I also like having nurses on staff 24/7. Just remember that if your loved one needs medical attention in the ER or urgent care, you will need to accompany them. No one will accompany them from the facility. Unfortunately, I was in the ER a lot.

Staff is excellent. Very clean and friendly. A secure environment for those with dementia who have a tendency to wander.

I was very impressed with the staff and overall feel of the community. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for Senior Living for their loved one.

My 93 year old mother seems very happy and contented at Woodmont. She enjoys the food and friendly caring people at the facility. Her room is large enough for a double bed, dresser, highboy, bistro table, and two chairs and a recliner. She has a walk in closet and nice sized bathroom. Her words "This is a nice place, the people are friendly, and the food is good". I would recommend anyone looking for assisted or senior living take a look.

We chose Pacifica Senior Living Modesto because we had a good experience with one of Pacifica's assisted living facilities. They are very personable, made us feel welcome, and encouraged us to speak with current residents. Pacifica was also really helpful in explaining all the different medical options and answering all of our questions.

Very nice place ran very nice. Yes, we would recommend Regency Place Senior Living to other families based on the experience so far.

Staff is great but, because it's a large facility, during busy times one needs to be patience. Lot's of activities. Food is good but, due to having to be neutral in dietary restrictions for everyone, tends to be bland. Room is good. Lot's of choices in size depending on availability. Facility was convenient for me as it was very close by.

We really like this place for mom. We have referred other family members and they like it too. They like the food, the service, the care, and compared to some places, the cost. The building is really old and the pipes leak, but that is the major compliant.

This place is very clean and the people who work there are very attentive to the seniors. My mom says the food is wonderful. There are lots of activities for the seniors. I can say the staff is wonderful. The reason for a grade of four is The med tech services monthly is [amount removed] which I think is a bit excessive for just dispensing prescriptions once a day. I would highly recommend this place. Heck, I would love to live there myself someday.

The staff and caregivers were so kind and invested in the well-being of my mom during her time there. I am very thankful for their kindness.

Overall my mother likes the care she is receiving. She says they are understaffed because of how in demand her caregivers are. Example: My mother uses her pendant to alert a caregiver. They arrive shortly and as soon as they arrive the caregivers beeper is going off because she is needed by another resident. The caregivers beeper continues to go off even though she has stopped it. The facility accommodates a large number of residents. The ratio of caregivers to residents doesn’t seem to be adequate. My mother says the food is delicious and the dining room is nice. She really likes her room, it supplies all of her needs. Overall she enjoys her stay.

All and all they very good sometimes there communication was a little slow like all facilities depending on who's working but I always knew mom was safe and in good hands..

The meals and dining services are improving. I haven't had a lot of interaction with the faculty or staff because he is an independent living but we would recommend Regency Place Senior Living to other families based on the experience so far.

Some things are a little clunky and they have experienced some staff changes in the dining room so the menu and quality of the meals has changed some, but overall my mom is happy. Everyone is very friendly too

Some of the staff are very nice and have been working there for a very long time. But others come and go. They are supposed to have someone awake and on duty in the assisted living area 24/7 but at least once the overnight attendant was found sleeping on a sofa and not responding to calls. They did go through a period when many of the residents and staff were ill, but no one was tested for Covid and no notices went out. Also they are supposed to let you know if your family member or person you serve as POA for has a change in medication or a health complaint of any kind. I've never received such notice and there have been new medications prescribed for my friend. Also, I have sent emails to the executive director three times and called once, but never heard back from her. She was really nice when I first met her and when I went in to sign the lease agreement, etc. but now just does not respond. My emails were not nasty or complaints -- just requests for info re long-term care funded by the state. Just no response at all.

The facility is very clean and pleasant and in a very nice neighborhood. My husband says the food is "pretty good". The staff is very caring and attentive.

The staff knows all residents by name due to the smaller community size. They encourage them to connect with other residents.

The option to be all inclusive is my favorite as well as the area and all the grass. The administrative staff can be rude when you go in to ask a question or get information. They don't greet when you walk in and are short with answering questions. I avoid going in there. [name removed] is the only one who isn't initially rude.
