Priority Life Care

Atria Eastlake Terrace was visited previously by the family. It was considered as a possibility for both. Biggest issue it does not present a care continum, nursing facility is run by a different part of company and is located nearby.

This is also among my choices. I like Marion Woods very much.

My sister and brother in law went to visit this place. They have it listed in the top two. So now the decision is between this place and the other.

very nice

More expensive but better care (in my opinion). We have been in close contact with them, have seen the facility and like it a lot.

BROOKDALE was a good Haven for me. I was able to have physical therapy while I was there and that was super once I started using a walker I was able to get around everywhere. I also had an electronic device for traveling around. It looks clean, but the cleaning staff uses a dirty mop. It's pretty disgusting that they aren't cleaner. The staff seemed very friendly and nice. You had to be friend the folks in on Saturday and then they would be nice to you. The meals were horrible. They were very high in salt and the vegetables were completely overcooked. The salads were limp and unacceptable. If you got a can of drink and asked the white people to leave the can. They would which is a good thing. While I was there, my blood pressure which is normal, spiked very high in a number of months because of the food quality. I forgot to mention in number three, many of the wait staff in the cafeteria were horrible. One lovely woman by the name of [name removed] was a true charmer and a great lady, but there were a lot of really rotten people there. There were a lot of activities, but I didn't take advantage of them because I was busy with Physical Therapy and my own personal stuff reading, etc. Also, I had dogs with me and they took up a lot of my time. But they were organized trips to restaurants and concerts. Many card games and Mahjong.Bingo Concerts Clothing sales in the great room of the main building. There was also a hair salon where you can get services, including manicures. The value for the cost was very good. I had a one bedroom but after a while, my husband who was still supervising the house build out, came to stay with me. The administrative staff knew he was there, but they did not charge me any more money. I was the only one of us who ate in the cafeteris. After a while. I quit eating in the cafeteria and started preparing food for us in the kitchen of the apartment because the good they were serving was not healthful. I would still recommend cocktail. It's a beautiful campus and if you know how to work with the staff, you will enjoy your stay there.

I would recommend the community based on the level of care that your loved one needs. If your loved one needs basic needs this would be a good place. However, if your loved one needs anything additional other than the basic needs, the community doesn't have enough staffing to care for the residents full needs. There are three meals a day served to the residents and the residents have choices to choose from.

My experience with Brookdale is very mixed. I'm pretty upset right now with all the charges being billed to me right now. We have discussed the matter and I thought it was taken care of, only to receive another bill of twice as much. In the beginning everyone was so nice and accommodating, however once we got it in, not so much! We are going to discuss this billing matter tomorrow and if not straightened out we will have to place my mom in another facility.

They have been pretty helpful and everyone on the staff is friendly. I have not heard any complaints from my loved ones about the quality of the meals that are served. The value for the money is pretty good - they really helped us out there.

The residents were not very nice or friendly. They definitely had their cliques. The food was very inconsistent and tasteless - my loved one hated it. The hallways were always wet because they were being cleaned. And then there were always big large fans in the hallways to dry everything out, which was annoying. There were two ladies at the front desk - one was lovely, and one was awful. When things went wrong with my loved one, they would call and let me know, but they left it up to me to dial 911.

I am only going off of what I hear from her daily. They were just bought out by Atria so I know they are going through a transition period. I am comfortable with her being here and I know that she is safe, fed and well taken care of. She has not been the biggest fan of the food served. If I am going off of what I have seen personally, I would recommend Holiday Sterling Court to other families.

The integration and food was better here than another community. The outside of the community wasn't as tidy as my loved one would've liked.

The staff is really amazing at Sterling Court. When we have had some concerns (like with housekeeping) and we talked to management and they made improvements but it seems to be going downhill again. There has been quite a bit of turnover so we are still addressing some of these things. They are definitely working on improving these concerns. Dad and [name removed] love the community and the people that are here. They appreciate that they are being listened to and they are happy.

I do think that their memory care area is very small, so it does make it hard for new people to interact with other residents because they are not all on the same level of care.

We chose Las Palmas because of the proximity to my house, the space that the cottages provided, and the location is very convenient and close to a lot of places with a pretty surrounding area. The sales person was the nicest and most attentive out of the places that we looked into. She was warm and friendly from the second that we walked in here. The food is not good at all, the variety on the menu is not very healthy. They serve things like hot dogs, fries, sandwiches, etc. It would be better if they provided healthier options for the residents. They have a lot of options for activities available and they have a swimming pool which is very nice. I would recommend to others looking with the caveat about the food.

My loved one says it's "okay," and feels like some of the services are not as readily available as advertised. But you can access those services by contacting the appropriate person. She seems to have found her way around really well. She has no complaints about cleanliness. They have someone available to provide transportation at an extra cost if you need it, and she's figured out how to order food from Publix. There's been some staff turnover. They had a really good handyman who had some health issues and had to leave, and they haven't found a replacement for the manger either. They haven't been having some of the activities because they're short-staffed. She really liked the exercise class when they were offering it. My loved one likes the breakfasts, but overall thinks they have too many soft, starchy foods and not enough fresh foods. She's sent me pictures of her living quarters, and the apartments are like studio apartments. You walk in and there's a sink and a refrigerator and cabinets along one side, and then areas for sleeping and living , and a little balcony. She has a bathroom and a closet as well. It's as much as she needs. For just her, she doesn't need anything more than that. And I think she's doing fine and has settled in very well.

I would suggest placing your loved one here. This seems to be more hospitable here than some other communities. The staff communication is good with the families.

We chose Brookedale at the time because of the location. She is in the one smallest room on the first floor because that is all that was available, but it is good for her needs. They do seem short staffed quite a bit, but everyone has been very nice and helpful. Overall. I would recommend depending on what you are looking for. It is very reasonably priced compared to others we looked into.

Food is generally good and tasty, good variety, no complaints. I have complained in the past about food preparation. The cook has responded favorably. the general manager [name removed] is doing a very good job. Friendly, fits in well with the renters and is very sincere. I Am 98 years of age.

We chose Elmcroft of York because it was recommended to my brother. He chose Elmcroft because he tried the food and thought it was good so he didn't look anywhere else. The room sizes here were adequate for his needs. I would want others to know when looking into the facility that we had an issue with them because they did not evaluate him correctly, they could not care for him adequately and I think he needed nursing instead of assisted living. They should not have taken him in the first place.
