Senior Lifestyle - Main

As we all know, we are living in extraordinary times, so, although this community has it, we can't use or participate in all of the lovely accommodations here because of COVID. So, that is something I will look forward to. I had three priorities I was looking for when looking at communities to live. First, i want my own outdoor space, second, I wanted a full kitchen, and third, I wanted a second bedroom for guests. I have all of these in my villa here. My villa is very nice and bright and it has fulfilled what I was looking for. Also, I chose this community because it looked clean and wasn't as expensive as others that i saw or read about. I also want to share that the maintenance men has been wonderful. They come over right away.

Location on busy road a downside for Mom who still drives- hard to get in and out of. Pretty area, but feel that there's probably more services included than she needs. Spoke with a rep there, liked what they do to support new residents, but don't feel this is the right fit for Mom's current needs.

Staff very welcoming. Food and menu choices very good. Residents active with many activities. Rooms too small for my power chair and parking not good for guests.

My loved one has been at Lakeside dementia care buiding for 9 months. I am there every day. It takes a very special person to work with these patients. The staff really cares about the people that live there. We become like family with the residents. They work hard and could use more staff of special workers for this building. The acitivity workers do all they can to get residents involved in activities eventhough they have decreased mental and physical abilities. they are given an abundance of food at each meal. I feel blessed to be able to know we are all doing the best we can under these VERY difficult circumstances. They could use more church services, singing etc volunteers if you are interested.

Lovely place. Enjoyed meeting the staff and a couple residents. Apartment was smaller than we wished for a couple.

Where you would want your mother to be. Out of our price range. Including care, in a studio apt. 5800.Only negative-shared apts. were embarrassingly small

I toured the community and I like the environment of Prairie Green at Dixie Crossing. I think it is the bright colors on the outside and the modernization of the inside of the facility. I wanted to place one of my family members here, but it did not work out for me to be able to do so. [Name removed] was very helpful and answering my many questions. I appreciate her patience and professionalism.

Executive Director extremely engaged with all details; made the process as easy as it could be. A small deposit held a fantastic room for 30 days, and we were able to meet all paperwork and move-in requirements within that 30 days. Head nurse and physical therapist immediately engaged and responsive to parent needs, offering suggestions that will make their quality of life better. Having said all that, need to allow weeks or even months to pass before a fair and accurate assessment can be provided. But everything up to and including the move-in was much better than I expected.

We moved our mother to Copper Springs Memory Care in May of 2019 and they have great. Mom was a little difficult at first but the staff worked diligently to get to know mom's behavior's and mom learned theirs. Staff is working directly with her healthcare provider to get her medication regiment correct. Our family is very pleased with Copper Springs.

Is a very nice place. Friendly staff and very clean. There is a variety of activities but resident has to want to go to them.

Everything looks good but I'm most interested in Independent living. I am comparing this facility with others in the area and the expense involved. The folks I met were/are great. No decision can be/will be made for awhile.

Seems like a really nice place, very nice staff. Physical building and spaces were adequate, and comfortable. I did feel that they were a bit over-selling the place, and it was hard to know how genuine they were being. The woman who toured us had only been there 3 months and another staff we spoke to was also fairly new. And it definitely seemed when we visited that they were under-staffed. 36 residents and I only saw a couple direct care staff. Since this one was all memory care residents, they were very needy, and I just didn't see enough people to help all the residents. Price was reasonable though, and they have only 2 tiers of care, so it seems that there would be no surprises every month in the costs. They also would allow residents to move from a single room to a shared room when available if family needed to keep expenses down. I would not cross it off the list, but would need to investigate further and ask about staff ratios, etc.

The staff and residents are friendly and caring. All residents say they are happy living there. The apartments, grounds and buildings are nice and laid out well. The fountains, fireplaces and courtyard are enjoyed and much appreciated. They have planned off campus activities once a week. Residents say they used to have more. They offer movies, exercise classes, arts and crafts, wii bowling, wii golf and many other fun and healthy activities. I know it takes a lot to upkeep and provide everything they do, however it seems to me and everyone else I've discussed this with that the money charged to live in all of the retirement communities is too high. Courtyard Fountains is priced fairly in comparison with others. They have an ongoing problem with remotes for the garages. They can stop working a couple of times per month. I've been told they don't have current plans to fix this as they don't want to spend the money. This is not good or safe for residents. Many do not have the best physical condition. They have to backup when it doesn't work and find somewhere else to park and/or walk into the garage and see if they can open it from the inside. Then get their car and drive into the garage. Myself and other residents and family members hope they change their mind and fix this soon. I wish they offered some in home care. At least help with medications, so residents could stay in their independent apartments longer. It is very expensive to bring someone in from the outside and stepping up to dependent care is extremely expensive. I'm glad they have a beauty salon with good stylists and now have a manicurist. They have a mini store open from 1-2 which is nice and helpful. The food is very good except the meat can tend to be tough more often than it should. I know this can happen anywhere sometimes. I like that they have set meal times and in addition a Bistro café with a nice offering of food so that residents can have something to eat if they miss the set meal times. They put out cookies, coffee and water in a couple of locations twice a day and snacks once a day. This is nice and appreciated. They also have a happy hour before dinner and many residents enjoy this social time. Overall I do like Courtyard Fountains and I'm glad to have my parent there. They are happy to be living there and I do recommend them to others. Thank you!

Loved the layout of the community. Loved to watch the residents join in to the music. Residents seemed happy. Looking for someplace closer to home since I plan on visiting daily.

Very Nice! Not a lot of "common area" space. Food looked great! Very friendly staff.

Very nice, a little dated.

I toured today. Staff seems friendly, called residents by name. They also have Assisted living here but Memory Care is on the 3rd floor & locked. Very clean, no odors, nice furniture. Didn't see many residents here there were several eating popcorn & watching a movie. Didn't sample food but they have 2 choices & option for "alway available" foods. $3,000 move in fee * provide own furniture.

It's a lovely place, My concerns were one the cost, 5% annual increase and it seemed geared to an older population. In 7 years if I could afford it, this would be the pace.

We placed our sister in Legacy @ Wellspring 9 months ago and have been very pleased with her care and attention given by the staff. The Director of the unit stayed over for her admission so her admission procedure would go smoothly. If we have a concern we voice it and it is addressed. My sister and I appreciate that we can ask any of the staff questions about our sister's status and they are able to assist. It has given us great piece of mind knowing she is well cared for and her needs are being met.

Very nice, they offer quite a bit. Mom is really enjoying it. Parking, transportation, trips, events and more. Chef from Strathallan, but meals don't seem to be quite the Strathallan level. I think part or the issue is an imposer Baywinde budget, which keeps the portions quite small. People that have been there a while say that the meals were much better in the past. For the premium price the meals fall short.
