Novellus Living

We looked at a lot of different places. This was one of the ones we toured and considered. I liked all of the communities I visited, the people were all fine, and this was no exception. I just don't think this is the right fit for us, my loved ones don't want to leave their home.

I toured here while I was looking for options. I really liked the smaller environment they had, and liked the people there. It is a better fit for my mom and we will likely place her there if the time comes.

So far things are good. It's clean and the staff are friendly.The elevators are old, and the power goes out once in a while, but that's just the building. They just got a new computer system, and that has been a little bit challenging, but it's nice to see an upgrade, and it's settling down now.

Beautiful community, very warm & welcoming, but unfortunately, a bit too expensive.

We enjoyed our visit to Emeritus and it we were pleasantly surprised. It felt smaller than Oakdale as far as the community, but the rooms were larger and overall the place was bright and easy to get around. There seemed to be a better mix of residents and I wonder if not having memory care on the facility had anything to do with that. Laundry was included in the price where at Oakdale it was not and Cable was not included in the price, where at Oakdale it was. So it about evens out. It is definitely a place I would go back to with mom for a lunch and tour

Very nice, very welcoming. Nice, big rooms. A facility worth considering.

I haven’t heard anything bad about this community. Everything seems to be okay. When I’ve been there everything has been clean and the staff has been very friendly. They have activities and their care services are working for us.

If she pushes the button for assistance it can take a little bit of time. A comment has been made that it was because they were short staffed. When I first toured, I got the impression that if they buzz to go to the bathroom, they would be right there, it's not exactly like that. The housekeeping is outstanding. They have a lot of activities, and they assign you an ambassador to take you around and get you involved. They do a good job with that. The biggest problem with the menu is that there is so much turkey and chicken. If you have it brought to your room, it might not be the right temperature.

They are clean and friendly. The quality of the food could be better. I liked that it has a good community area, where everyone was gathered. Some of the places we saw the people were dispersed around the community.

The building was a little older, and not quite as nice as the one we chose. They were clean and friendly. The staff knew who everyone was, and the people knew the staff. This became our litmus test. Sort of the standard we were checking communities against. The food was pretty good, it was ok not five star gourmet, but good. Each room was empty, and they needed a lot of work to do things. You could upgrade the room yourself, paint them any color or upgrade them yourself.

We liked this community very much, probably our favorite of those visited thus far. We met with Melinda and she was very informative, kind, and encouraging. The common areas were nice and we were able to see some of the activities going on. They have several dining options.

Very welcoming, warm place. Great food. A bit more expensive than others may be. Farthest away, but I loved this place.

It was a big, big open place and my dad said it looked like a hospital to him. They were very nice and it looked like it would have been a good place for him but I couldn't get him past his first impression.

Liked this one very much.

Nice facility with a stable staff, well maintained with an environment that I am sure meets the needs of the less memory impaired very well, but my wife and I felt that her dad would be lost here and it would be only a short time before we would at a minimum see the level of care pushed up because of his needs. Adding Level of care options can really drive the cost of care, and we expect that it was going to become difficult for the family in time.

A very warm & friendly facility.Director & staff were very kind & seemed to really understand my mom's needs at this time.Atria is just the first place I have visited, but is already a front runner due to it's location

Nice people

They didn't have any memory care and was rying to get me into the assisted living side.

Really liked. Very homey. Nice Rooms, liked the set up of rooms. Decor was nice. Employees were all very friendly. Didn't see many residents though. Need to go back for lunch. Was a multi level facility.
