My aunt has been at CH 2-1/2 months and has participated in several of the activities. Still settling in. The elevators have me concerned however. Have had times when down to only 1. Quick to respond though

Mom has only been there a month so we did not see a lot. One thing I did notice why is there not a cleaning crew there everyday and again maybe there was and we did not see them. Did not notice staff walking the floor to make sure everyone was ok. If someone fell there is no way for them to call for help except yell. The staff that we did see was friendly and helpful. I think my Mom is safe and things will improve. The pictures on the walls are cheerful and bright. So I would rate this 3/12 to 4 a 5 if the top issues are addressed.

I love where I live. I have a nice apartment and someone to help me clean once a week. We have a very good chef in charge of the menus and food. Our chef is a real chef. The preparation, presentation and palatability of his meals are far above average. The reason I was attracted to Copperfield Hill was the warmth and friendliness of the staff and residents.

Areas in need of improvement: -The food is not healthy. It doesn't meet nutritional requirements/ standards. -Very full of fat and unhealthy ingredients. -Staff are very stern about mealtimes and get irritated if residents aren't seated for meals toward the end of serving times. -meals for visitors are expensive Strengths: -friendly staff overall -my mom likes her apartment -it's quiet -outings to stores -Community events They do the laundry and clean

It could be cleaner, the floors are not swept. The staff there are very kind. I was expecting more.

We only visited the memory care and it was sad. Didn't want to put my loved one there.

The community is fine. The staff and caregivers are all good. Everyone is friendly. The food is bad, and we don't even eat down in the dining room any longer because of this. The community has been short on staff. It would be nice to have better kitchen staff and a new chef. I don't feel the meals are balanced.

Really big. Too big for us. The common areas are in need of an update. The unit we saw was bright and spacious.

Doesn't look like they have washer/dryers in room. They do have aging in place though.

A nice place but am not comfortable with all the 'little extra's' at the end of each month. Would not be interested in any place that does not have a 'fixed' monthly fee.

I helped some acquaintances search into other options when this location was no longer suitable for them. This location had some issues with cleanliness and being able to accommodate their needs. They did have some very nice activities here, including musical performances which my friends always enjoyed.

Has companion suite which includes tv, phone and paper supplies, and monthly hair cut voucher.. Common room very small, no window, small ref and microwave, no sink. Have adds-on we want for mom. Includes 3 meals. Not sure of add-on costs. Mom would need to monitor her diet intake more. Buddy system. Companion suite not in main building, younger residents. Has van with van wheelchair lift. Good activity calendar. Elderly waiver accepted after 1-2 years. Near Catholic Church and shopping area.

Beautiful campus. Really liked the AL/Independent apartments. The memory care unit was not my favorite. The shared space seemed crowded. - I may have to visit again now that I've seem more places.

Separate wing on 2nd floor for memory care. It was secured...but did not have an open air about it - this wing reminded me of a nursing home. Next door bedroom and bathroom mate was 74, and as we were walking down the hall, she says "i don't like this person" and almost picks an arguement with this other resident.(both spoke in foreign language, other person did seem challenged.) The activity list for residents seemed to be good, had "polka time" EM program available as soon as money runs out at own cost, no waiting period. Private fund cost.

Lovely little memory care center, nice program. Facilities felt cramped and uncomfortable, a little institutional feel. Questionable accessibility for residents in w/c's. Awkward design/bathroom etc.

I liked it

Nice facility - clean. Apartments were fine. It was all a bit dated but ok.

I don't know anything about activities. I know that there's the great side of the building and the poor side of the building. The poor side has 1 elevator for the entire complex and to be honest when we toured, I thought it was the service elevator it's so dumpy. I was totally surprised when we moved mom in that it was the actual elevator for the residents. I usually take the stairs and they are always dirty. I could tell one time they vacuumed. Regarding care, mom likes the people who are caring for her well enough but they do not come when she needs them, often too late. Not what I expected for how much it costs. If it weren't for the outside people coming in I don't think she'd be getting any attention to things like bed sores, etc. It's the outside "in home help" that alerts the people there that she needs more.
