Sagora Senior Living

I thought at first it was ok, but last week the Sagora Company came in and made some changes for the good. Now from what I've witnessed, things are so much better. I would recommend Aberdeen as a good memory care facility.

We chose Bristol Park at Eagle Mountain mainly due to the convenient location, it is only a few minutes form my house. The marketing director we first met with was WONDERFUL. We had a full week of struggling with my moms AC and she was so good about figuring the issue out and she never gave up until the problem was resolved. The activity director [name removed], we LOVE her - she is very personable and I love the Christian materials that she gives out to the residents. They also have bible study on Tuesdays and she leads that and she is just amazing. Out of the whole place, she is definitely the highlight. My mom has only had good things to say about the food that is served. All in all we are very happy and would highly recommend the facility.

I toured Caydance Assisted Living & Memory Care. The rooms were clean, and the eating area was very nice. The community itself was very new and upscale. We mostly sat in a room and talked, but the staff were very honest. They let me know that if my parents were at a certain point of independence, then they don't need to come here; but if they begin to show certain signs, then I should come back and check them out. The price was a bit too expensive, but the cost I'd be paying would be for things my parents didn't need at that point. We chose another community because Caydance wasn't a good fit, but if my parents needed memory care and extra assistance, this would have been a good choice.

The things that we were offered when we signed her up, some of those things have been taken away but I think it is because times are hard and they cannot find help. Overall they have been great and I am so thankful that she is in here because it gives me peace of mind. Mom is adjusting well and they do offer a ton of activities. They have bible study once a week, bingo, they take residents on a pontoon boat, van trips to go shopping, a movie room, a sewing room, exercise classes, etc. The staff as well as the residents are all so friendly. The facility is very nice and very comfortable. I would definitely recommend Lakestone Terrace to others looking.

We feel very comfortable with the value at Aberdeen, for everything they offer we do not have to worry and it is a big relief for us knowing our loved one is well taken care of. We have no complaints so far. We have not eaten a meal there ourselves, but our loved one does not complain so we have to assume it is good. They do not take advantage of the activities but they have different things going on all day like an all week long.

Overall it's a good place, although there have been some challenges. They've had problems with the plumbing and not having hot water. Sometimes they run out of food and have been without a cook, so the food is not very good- just sometimes, not all the time. And they've had problems with the cleaning sometimes. But overall it's nice, and my friend is enjoying it very well.

I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The community is short staffed, like a lot of places are nowadays. They have lots of activities for the residents to choose from. My concern is with the accounting department. They don't understand that they have double billed in the past. They have also not been able to get their billing correct until recently, and they are not being helpful with resolving the situation.

The tour was great. We were in the process of moving and we had to do the tours remotely. The community was great but there was just another community that worked out better for my loved one.The tour guide was good and was able to give me all of the information I needed about the community.

In memory care, the caregivers are calm and compassionate. And they really allow as much freedom for the residents as possible, which is nice to see. I think they are a little bit understaffed, but they do the best they can with what they have. It's an older facility but well kept, and they're remodeling. It's always clean and fresh looking, and the landscaping is fine. And the cost is in line with other places in the area.

The tour at this community was really good and the community did a good job showing us around and giving us the information that I needed.

This is an awesome community. The activities that they make available to the residents are awesome. They have bands come in, people who come in and do the hair and nails. On Sunday they are having a mothers day brunch and for Easter they did something also. They have a group that goes out to exercise and walk it is just an awesome community for my loved one. They always make sure that the activities are posted and they make sure that everyone knows what all activities are going on. The staff are great and nice and always very helpful with any needs that we may have.

Bristol park has been a cost effective opportunity to get the care that my loved one needs. He has improved as a result of being here and he is still not very thrilled with being there but making it through. They had a problem with flooding in the winter and the work out room is in the process of a remodel due to this issue. They have some sun activities during the week for the residents and more for them to do to stay busy.They have also gotten my loved one to all of his appointments. It proved to be a quite economical place and we are saving in the process compared to other communities.

Our timing was not great with Covid surges. Also, they transitioned from one ownership to another after my loved one moved in. But she has now settled in. There were some challenges and hiccups along the way. But whenever there was a hiccup, we would talk to someone at Elison, and it was dealt with. The only issue we're still having is lack of help in the dining room. And I know that's occurring everywhere right now. At first the cleaning service was not very good, but they've changed services, and it's excellent now. The nurse has been awesome. The food is excellent, and the menu is very good. Activities are wonderful, and my loved one is getting involved in a lot of them. They have something going on every day, and they have a cocktail hour most afternoons. That socialization aspect was a huge component of sending her here, and she's definitely made friends. I also like that they're open to visitors at any time, so we get go whenever we please as much as we please. It's expensive, but I feel like you get what you pay for.

We chose Heritage Oaks Assisted Living and Memory Care because of the facility's cleanliness and the availability to get us in quickly. They keep it remodeled and up to date. I would recommended them to other families looking.

Overall it's been a good experience. My parents kind of keep to their own, so they weren't really looking for and don't participate in the activities. But the apartment itself is very nice and sufficient. And the people are nice.

I thought Elison of Pinecrest was really nice. I liked just about everything about it. They gave a good tour and had a good marketing program. We chose a different place simply because we had another family member there.

Ellery Arbor Memory Care has been a good experience so far. they offer activities like crafts, movies, etc. they recently took my loved one and other residents on an outing to the museum. she enjoys the food. I visit often and am able to talk face to face with the staff and management regarding my loved ones care and needs. its a nice community, and we like it! it's an entertaining place for seniors.

I would highly recommend Elison of Maplewood to others for their loved ones. They have continuous care for my loved one, they meals are wonderful, and there are lots of activities for the residents to partake in and these are all things that stand out to me. The only concern is that you don't have one point of contact to speak to about my loved one. It would be nice that the one person knew all of my loved one's history. Some of the activities are bible reading, puzzles, crafts, walking, exercise, field trips, bingo, and more for the residents to choose from. They also have transportation for the residents to use.

I think what sticks out to us most is the environment. Since it is a smaller facility with less residents it has a very low stress/laid back feeling which is important. Everyone here has been extremely friendly. My loved one has a very large room and they do have a variety of different sizes that you are able to choose from based on your needs. I would recommend Martin Crest to others looking.
