Sagora Senior Living

It turned out that it wasn't a good fit for my grandmother but that's not necessarily through any fault of Parkwood Meadows. She was not eating and all the meals are provided so we were paying for that. She was not taking her medicine either. We are in the process of moving her but it's not because we didn't like the place it. She just needs more care. Everybody was really nice there and we liked the place.

It was nice, but it wasn't the same as the one we ended up choosing. It had a different layout and grounds. It was newer, and it didn't have any outside grounds. We have a little dog, and there wouldn't have been a good place to walk him. It was good food, the director was fine and the people were very nice. We hated that we stayed here for a week and then decided to choose a different community. We chose another Holiday though, and the people were very gracious about it.

Upon touring everything was clean and beautiful. All the personnel were extremely friendly and helpful. The only issue was trying to transfer there from a SNF. The communication was very poor. This is probably from both sides--but it was exceptionally frustrating.

This is another beautiful facility but it's also very large. It's like four floors and mom wouldn't have been able to get around very well.

It's fine. We're probably going to have to move my mother again sooner than later just because it's costing too much money for her not to participate in any of their events and activities. All in all, Harbor Chase is good. It was closer to us than some of the other places we considered and I would say that the social status of the residents there is a little higher. My mother didn't care about that but it is something I noticed. We are going to have to move her, which is a negative.

Very nice facility. Non-smoking. A little on the high side.

It's got a bunch of hallways and elevators and he seems to get confused more often. They're good to him, I don't have any problems with them. They're actually very, very good, it's just the layout for him that makes him not leave his room as much but the care is very, very good. They're encouraging him to get out of his room and we have a therapy dog coming twice a month so that's helping.

Did tour facility and did get opportunity to look at new Memory wing. Did not care for new section as bathroom is shared. Feel he is not ready for memory wing, but needs asst living. This may be possibility when that time arrives.

Little activity in common rooms at 2:30 pm on a Sunday. Very nice rooms small closets lovely courtyards, dining room, and entry. Transportation to dr appt within 10 mi radius. You do your personal laundry in laundry room. Three meals per day and you can go order a meal if you miss regular mealtime. Cleaning once per week.

My Dad has lived at the Renaissance for only a couple of weeks. The staff and residents are VERY kind and welcoming. Common areas are clean and inviting. The food is pretty good most days and residents are welcomed to eat as much as they want. So far so good.

Very nice. A bit pricey but we'll just have to determine what we'd like to spend.

The food's not very good. I think they're breaking in a new cook. They've had a lot of complaints and they're trying to do something about it. I guess we didn't get here at the right time. I think the value is excellent. The cost of Heritage Place was way cheaper than any other comparable place. It's a beautiful place and well kept. We're very pleased with it. Everything that we've dealt with has been pretty good. The company that does the medications is a completely different company that comes in and does that. We've had a few problems. I guess that's normal but they've been ironed out.

They're really good, I guess I just have a couple of issues. I think, just as a new person, I don't know how to go about asking them questions. I hate to just stop and bother the head nurse or the nurses and ask questions so I think if they had more of a procedure about going about that. They always make me feel comfortable when I stop somebody and ask but I think just better communication with how to go about asking them questions. I was her primary care giver and I think it's just me giving it up and letting them take care of her. i don't know when to get more involved, if I should or just let them take control...just all those questions, it would be nice to maybe even have a sit down, follow up meeting to be on the same page. She has done excellent, we anticipated some issues had we haven't had any at all, I think the people are taking really good care of her.

It's pretty expensive but they have something going on every day just about all day, they have a fairly good variety. i just thought it would fit my mom and dad, they're not ready for a nursing home, they need not 24/7 care but just a little bit of extra care. it took alot of work off of us cause we just couldn't hardly do our life and keep them too, it was hard. things have been going really really really good, mothers loved it, my dad didn't want to move in, he keeps saying he doesn't like it but he really does, he just wont ever admit it. were really really happy with cowhorn, they're just great folks.

My mom seems much calmer, she was in another home for 2 years and because this is a totally Alzheimer's unit she's much calmer and she's always very clean. When I go there, I've eaten with her here and the food seems okay, the fact that she can go outside to a little garden area and not beep because of security, that's a good thing. I've had a little bit of trouble with them with filling with insurance, we didn't have that problem before, and it isn't resolved yet but I'm not really sure if the problem is insurance or emeritus. My mom is difficult ot engage (let's put it that way), but I got a little eltter that she had participated in balloon tennis and she had gone on an outing. The doctor that works with emeritus, Dr. Chitwood, I absolutely LOVE her!

It's a sister facility of Covenant Place. It's over on the other side of the freeway by the Sterling House. My mother's sister is in there. It's a little bit more ritzy. It's a lot more money. My mom didn't want to go there even though her sister is there.

It was a nice place. Barbara was helpful and informative.

It's close to where we live and close to the hospital but it was too expensive and they weren't willing to negotiate. They didn't even say we'll see if we can work something out. They were pretty firm on their price.

My brother-in-law was there. He had people that the ate with and men that he became friends with there. One thing that I didn't like with the Rosewood was that they led us to believe that he would be getting VA money long before he did. I waited the 90 days and then I started checking up and the organization that they had recommended had gone out of business so we had to start all over. It was 18 months before we got funds. I wish they would be more upfront and realistic about that because if they had we might have spent his funds differently and looked into other options like medicaid. They raised thier price too which I didn't like. I know they have to but I didn't like hearing that in a letter from corporate. My brother-in-law liked it there. He was so much better that at home. The place was always well maintained. Everytime we were there it was clean and the people were helpful, particularly for us being so far away.

It's a great place, they're really friendly. From what I've seen around everywhere the cost is fine, all they do is provide meals and clean their rooms but for that part they do well. Lunch is good, its the biggest one, its's all good, it could be a little healthier but the people living there probably wouldn't want that. They've always got something going on and they have a real nice activities director. We chose it for the value, the cleanliness and the friendliness of the staff. She likes it, she likes the people and most of them are pretty friendly, nice people.
