Paramount Senior Living

i was visiting a family member at this community last week and i was amazed by all of the happy residents who were busy with different activities and welcoming to me as i came in the door. Such a beautiful place! I thought my grandma was in a nice place but going there made me feel like she was in the best place possible. Thank you Paramount for giving her the best care she could ask for. Before i left I took a walk around, fantastic is what came to mind. I left smiling and can’t wait to visit again!!

Beautiful place, very homey feeling, friendly staff and people, smells great not like most senior homes, feels real!!!

I recently place my grandmother here. It was a very hard decision to place her. [Name removed] helped make the transition much easier. The facility is beautiful, everyone is very friendly, and has a homey feeling. My grandmother has adjusted very well. She is getting good meals and wonderful care. I feel she is very safe and will be cared for very well. I don't have to worry about her because i know she is taken car of. The individual rooms are very roomy and they residence can decorate and make them their own. I am so glad we found Paramount and were able to get my grandmother place here. Thanks to all the staff for their kindness it was appreciated greatly.

The entire staff at this community are friendly and accommodating. They are willing to do anything mom asks and they are happy to help; you never feel like you are putting anyone out when you make a request. The community is only 5 years old and is just beautiful, with pretty carpeting, furniture and art work. The building is in a U-shape with a courtyard with a fountain, and some wild turkeys roaming the adjacent hillside that are fun to watch. The admissions nurse Sandra is very caring, and still speaks to me every time I see her. The front desk is very efficient, scheduling hair salon and doctor appointments, visitor meals, residents leaving, guests coming & going, and so on. The food is good and they offer a beautiful private dining room without charge, serving their food or you can bring your own. There are daily exercise classes, bingo, ice cream socials and frequent entertainers that come in. Paramount Peters networks with other local providers (pharmacy, doctors, dentist, podiatrist, etc.) that share their kindly views toward helping the residents. Whatever outside service mom has needed, Paramount is able to help her. Mom is in her second month at Paramount. She, and the family, are very pleased and would highly recommend this community.

My mother has adjusted very well to this community. She is doing very well, and I'am pleased with her move here. She has gotten involved in the community with the activities they have available. I haven't had any problem with the staff, they are always willing to help. The dining room is restaurant style. The meals are good, and they have a nice variety of food too choose from. They are providing her with great care. This is a community I would recommend, it has worked out very well for us.

I am really impressed with the quality and variety of food, as well as the variety and amount of activities being very good. Communication with the administrative department could have been a little better. There was some initial confusion. My mom is happy. The other residents seem to be very welcoming and friendly. Overall I would give them a four and a half.

The White Chapel Staff are truly wonderful people. Helpful, caring, friendly and willing to work with new residents and their family to adjust to their new environment. I cannot say enough on how cooperative and understanding the staff at White Chapel have helped ME with the transition of placing my father in their facility. Several people have commented that a right decision was made for the wellbeing of my father and after 2 weeks, I believe they are right. He is moving around more, having people around his own age gives him opportunities to talk and tell stories, things he was not doing at home. Thank you ALL!

My was feeling very lonely in her home plus she was going to have a hip replacement. She was suffering from depression and anxiety. Before her surgery, she spent a week at Emeritus to see how it was. After her surgery and rehab, she moved into Emeritus. Her depression and anxiety seems to be under control. She has made friends and participates in the many activities, plus she goes "right next door" to the Newark Senior Center to do the activities she has been doing there for five years. I think my mother made a good decision to go to Emeritus.

considering my mother's need for help on a daily basis and her fierce need for independence. to quote, nothing wrong with my brain it just a ninety two year old body. Everything I have seen, heard and research says this will be a good match.

My father needed a home; a place where people cared about him and saw to his needs. He's found a home at Emeritus at Wilburn Gardens. The staff goes beyond courtesy and caring, forming a bond with their charges that makes for a family atmosphere. When I visited, all of my dad's needs were addressed with a care I've not found anywhere else. They even made arrangements for my dad to visit when I wasn't able to bring him over. I was very impressed with their customer service and willingness to go the extra mile to make sure that we were both satisfied that this was the right place for my Dad.

He's only been there a week but at the moment they're getting high marks from us. The staff seems very pleasant, easy to work work, the facility itself is beautiful, very, very nice grounds. He has been encouraged to participate in activities, whether or not he will do them is another story, but that's just his personality. We really liked the garden style and the foyer being the center of activity whether he was on the first floor or second floor, regardless of whether he left his room or not he would still be able to hear what was going on.

Paramount offered us compassionate care in my dad’s final weeks while on hospice care. We had some rocky situations which were dealt with quickly and favorably by the administration. While response time was occasionally an issue, the care givers there were friendly, incredibly kind, and happily willing to offer whatever was needed.

It was not exactly an emergency but needed to be done quickly. I looked at Paramount, it seemed fine, and they had a room for him. The other close one didn't have a room right away so I didn't go look there. I don't have anything to compare to but wish they had more activities for those who are "more with it"

Overall, I am satisfied with the facility. Some of the aides/nurses are better than others. Safety is a priority. The food is okay, but not great. Room size is great. Bed, recliner, fridge, plenty of closet and cabinet space. Cable tv and laundry service good.

Nursing staff is very good. The administrative staff is good as well. I have enjoyed getting to know some of the other residents.

Depends on what your needs are. It's ok and most staff is very friendly and caring. We picked this community because of proximity to us and pricing was better at the time.

Overall, the staff is friendly and the community is clean. It's a no-frills community compared to some, but for a resident in memory care who won't utilize the movie theater or sports bar that others offer, the savings are worth it. It's attractive on the outside and inside. There are always activities going on if your loved one is interested and able to participate, and families are always welcome to join in. Communication could be a bit better, so you need to take initiative to call and get details of how your loved one is doing when you are not there visiting along with dr info (ie results of xray or lab work). As with most areas of life, the squeaky wheel gets the oil...and sometimes you have to be the squeaky wheel especially when your loved one can't advocate for him/herself.

Community is fine. They need to improve on just having more staff and more experienced CNA' s that can work well with Alzheimer's residents. We gave the care services a 4, but sometimes it can also be a 3. We should have spent more time, but didn't have it then, doing our research on places. We were in a time constraint at the time, and Paramount was really talked up as being the best place for our parents. Sometimes it is ok, sometimes not so much. Short staffed at times, so care is kind of lacking. But overall, it's been ok.

The housekeeping department was excellent. Management of department was fantastic. However, they are always short of staff, especially the nursing dept. There are not healthy menus, not much alternative choices. Needed to supplement my own food because of small portions and unsavory food. Activities are limited choices and nothing after 5pm. A lot of events canceled due to lack of participation. Holidays and special events always well done. I understand it was the better value compared to the competition. But I feel the pricing structure was a bit unfair. Residents needing more care than others were paying the same amount the independent living residents paid. I found it necessary to leave after 1 year. I was OK being there, except for the expense. After my therapy was complete, I chose to find a 55 and over apt for 1/3 the cost Please note, even though Powerback therapy was a separate department from Paramount, they were incredibly helpful. I could not have made the move without their excellent and professional care. A 10 star Rating to them.

Lovely, attentive, and caring staff. Knowledgeable nurses, clean environment and beautiful rooms!!
