Priority Life Care

MY 93 year Mother has been living in a skilled nursing facility in Sun City Center,Fl for the past two years. Although it was a very nice facility, it was a sterile hospital environment, and not conducive for her quality of life. My mother preferred to stay in her room, including meals and rarely socialized. We found "The Crossings at Riverview" and WOW, what a difference. She has been at the "Crossings for a little over a week now and her entire personality has returned. She is going to happy hour, mingling with residents, venturing on her own on the lovely riverview grounds. After 2 years of trying to convince mom to get hearing aids, only 2 days after moving in - she asked "when am I going to get my hearing aids and TV? The staff is outstanding. They have delivered far beyond our expectations each and every day. I highly recommend this brand new facility and you had better get in soon before it is filled to capacity.

My mother is 94 years old and has lived with a family member for the last 15 years. Her first day was difficult, but the experienced staff gave her excellent care and were very attentive to her transition. She has now now been there for one week and has adjusted nicely to the facility. The care continues to be above average. I know I made the right choice by placing my mother at The Crossings At Riverview. In addition to the great care, the food prepared by Chef Terry has been excellent. The grounds overlook the Alafia River .... A very calming park like setting. The apartments were created with seniors in mind. My mother has a studio apartment. It has wide doors for my mothers walker/wheel chair. The shower has a built in seat with grab bars. There is also a nice mini kitchen with a microwave, small kitchen sink and almost full size refrigerator. Planned activities are also available for the residents. I am very happy with the excellent care and attention my mother receives at the Crossings At Riverview. I give them a five star rating.

We visited this community while looking into care options for a loved one. The people here are very nice, they answered all of my questions. I was able to talk to the residents, who seemed happy and content. The community was clean. Overall a very nice community.

From my very first contact with Erin at Brandywine Senior Living at Dresher, I was very impressed. I was looking for a facility to assist my mother in her recuperation from an injury. My mother had been through acute-care rehab as well as short term rehab but was not quite ready to return to living alone in her apartment. Brandywine has a Passport/Respite program which was perfect for my mother. Erin, the director, was so knowledgeable and compassionate that I was immediately comfortable. A one month stay was decided on and everything to make my mother feel comfortable and at home was instituted. From her first day to her last ( she stayed 6 weeks) she has nothing but praise for the staff, the food and all the amenities offered. Brandywine was exceptionally clean, her linens were changed weekly, her laundry done and her apartment cleaned too. Pam usually made her bed daily and was always kind and friendly. The meals were excellent and Erin sat her with three lovely ladies with whom my mom became very friendly. The waitresses were excellent....Jenna, Janet and Amy always attended to my mom and anticipated her wishes without her even asking! The daily activities and movie were great. I was especially pleased to hear that someone checked on her every evening to be sure all was well. I am not sure of that person's name but she was great. Also, if my mother did not come down for a meal someone checked on her and offered to bring food to her apartment. Other staff members whose services were exceptional were Heather, Gwen, Rachel and Donna the nurse. But everyone we came in contact with was super!!! Brandywine Senior Living at Dresher is a fantastic place and I would highly recommend this facility.

This senior community is wonderful. My mom has been on the memory Ward as well as the regular assisted living and both departments treated my mother so well. The food could be better but they are given quite a variety in the Assisted Living section. The staff is very loving and caring. there are constant activities and outings and they treat her as family. We couldn't be happier with this facility.

I think they do a great job overall at Elmcroft of Lewisburg. The facility itself is clean and well kept, and the staff have all been friendly and helpful. They do a great job interacting with the residents to ensure everyone is busy and entertained!

We think this place is great! Everything has gone exceedingly well here, my Mom loves it! The people who live here are all very friendly, and Mom has already made a lot of new friends. In the community she was in previously she'd just sit in her room all day, but at Las Palmas she is out and about all day! The facility itself is beautiful, clean, and well kept, and the staff do a great job taking care of the people who live here. I'd highly recommend it, we couldn't be happier!

Very clean facility and nice staff and residences.

We had an outstanding experience with Elmcroft of Dillsburg. My mother resided there for approximately seven months. Mother was 98 and so required their highest level of care. We could not have asked for a better facility for her last months. The entire staff was "vested" in her well-being. She was not merely a resident or the old lady down in room 112. Somewhere along the way they started referring to her as "our Mary". Elmcroft's facilities provided a home-like environment but it was the staff that made it home for mother. The staff went above and beyond what was required. Their communication with me was excellent. Regardless of day or night, there was always someone to answer my questions or fulfill my requests in a timely fashion. If they didn't have the complete answer when asked, they were prompt about getting back to me. The facilities were always clean. They had many different activities both on-campus and off-campus available to keep the residents engaged. The food was good and the kitchen would cater to any special dietary requirements which arose. Their on-site medical team worked closely with mother's hospice care givers. My mother, like many of her generation, was adamant she did not want to go in a "home". In her mind, a "home" was the stereo type "skilled nursing old people warehouse". Unfortunately, she had reached the point where we could not care for her in our house and the medical professionals were strongly recommending that she needed to be placed in a facility. Elmcroft was so NOT that stereo type that mother had in mind. If it was, I could not have comfortably placed her there. Elmcroft provided a true home like setting and their staff provided true "family style" care. They enabled me to be able to live with the difficult decision I had made. I can comfortably recommend Elmcroft of Dillsburg to you if you are looking for a quality environment for your loved one. Respectfully, MaureenBurke McGinnis LtCol USMCR (ret)

just great

Our experience with Marion Woods has been a very good one so far. They really did an excellent job welcoming her to the community and helping her get settled in. The facility itself is well kept and clean, and the staff are all very friendly caring people. I would highly recommend this place!

The Crossings at Riverview is a highly anticipated and soon-to-be amazing residence for senior adults. As we began the process of finding a new place to call "home" for my father, we researched, communicated, listened and toured. No other assisted living community has compared to what we have experienced thus far. The first phone call to Jennifer King, the Administrative Director, confirmed that there is something unique and special coming! Jennifer's knowledge of the needs and concerns of seniors and those needing memory care is extensive, and her passion for their care is inspiring! She is and will be an extraordinary administrator. Jennifer has selected a qualified staff, and like Jennifer, they are committed to the complete care and well-being of the residents. Jennifer and the department directors have designed an environment for an enthusiastic and compassionate team--a team whose primary objective is to meet the needs of each and every resident. Every aspect of the residents' care is being thoroughly planned, from their medical needs to social and spiritual activities to nutrition (with a culinary-trained chef) to a comprehensive plan for a pleasant and attentive community that demands excellence at every level! Space has been expertly designed for on call physicians and other health care personnel, including physical and occupational therapy, Multiple activity rooms are available for every possible need, including a state-of-the art theatre room, library and salon! Jennifer is assembling an exceptional housekeeping and maintenance staff that will keep all the activity rooms, residents' rooms, common areas and the entire building and grounds in immaculate condition. We have observed a comprehensive and extensive plan for an incredible, cheerful, and attentive senior adult community. What a joy and a privilege to be a part of this phenomenal and nurturing community! We eagerly anticipate the move-in date for my dad!

My Grandmother has been a resident at Brentwood for a year and a half. We both could not be happier. The Staff is wonderful. When I come to visit I'm always greated by name. I have never asked a question that didn't have an immediate answer. The Nusring staff is outstanding. They update me on a weekly basis. I like how everyone employed there knows my grandmothers name and makes a point to speek to her. Wonderful place if you are looking for assisted living. always clean, meals are fantastic, rooms are spacious, bathrooms are all well equipped.

I explored the opportunity of moving my 86 year old father into The Crossings recently. It is located in a gorgeous setting, with beautiful views of the river and lovely grounds with walking paths. We visited before construction was complete, but enough was done that we could tell it would be a grand place to live. Jennifer was most gracious and knowledgeable about the needs of elderly residents, so I'm certain that it will be a marvelous experience for anyone who decides to reside there. I was quite impressed with her vision of what things will be like upon completion. Looking forward to visiting again and definitely consider it as a possibility for my dad's future needs.

Attractive and comfortable. Very friendly staff and residents. More amenities, activities and life enrichment opportunities than we had seen before.

My mom is 97 years old, but since going to Desoto Beach Club you would never know it. She is very active, has met a lot of good friends, etc. It is a very nice place. We are very thankful to have found it, and it has been a truly wonderful experience.

The people at Brentwood at LaPorte were very good at making us feel welcome. They also have really gone out of their way to help, including doing doing any little tasks we asked of them, etc. It is a very nice place. There was one small issue with a bill that we received that caused a minor inconvenience, but when we brought it to their attention they were able to work it out and we got everything settled. I would definitely rate them highly and recommend them.

Everybody has been very friendly at Elmcroft of Loyalsock. They have made the transition very smooth and easy. It is what they advertise, not one of those situations where you think you're getting one thing and end up with something else. We are very happy. Five stars across the board - they are awesome!

My father has been a resident at Manresa for about three months. He and i love the scenery and the friendly caregivers. I recently met the nursing director, Gwynn, who has been a God send! I have raised some concerns (minor, of course) to the Director who was completely dismissive of me. Today I was able to meet with the Nursing Director who was able to resolve my concerns in a matter of minutes. The Director should take a course on humanitarian skills from the nursing director. Kudos to all if the other staff who are compassionate and love their careers!
