Senior Lifestyle - Main

They're pretty good, but there are some things that are lacking. They could definitely improve on their activities - they show crappy movies and there aren't a lot of groups to get involved in. For what you get, the value is pretty good. They do general housekeeping, for things like towels and sheets, and that's included. I would give the food a 3, beucase they changed hands and the food quality has gone down. It's okay, but it's not as good as it was. They could improve on their communication as well, and I think they should have someone at the front desk 24 hrs a day. However, they do keep the place very clean, and they care about the residents. They are friendly and consistent, and that's important.

Overall I was pretty impressed by this community. We toured quite a few when we were looking into options for my loved one, and this was the only one I saw that I wouldn't mind going to myself if I were in the same situation. The one complaint I have heard from my loved one is that the food could use a lot of improvement.

Independent, assisted living and memory care. Doors are alarmed but facility not equipped for memory care if patient wanders or becomes combative. Pros: very close to YMCA. Can move from assisted to memory care

This is a very nice facility! It's got a great atmosphere, and came highly recommended to us from multiple sources, from A Place For Mom, our dcotor, as well as church friends. Overall I think they do a good job here. The head nurse in particular is great to work with, and does her job very efficiently.

We had our loved in this community for a temporary stay, and we were pleased with the service. They kept it very clean, and the staff were always friendly. They were good about communication, and always made time to address any concerns we had. And just to note: I have had some interactions with the community since we used them, and they have had some staff turnover recently, so there are many new employees that I have not met.

This is a nice place overall, it is very clean, and the staff are very friendly in general. What really cemented my decision was that this place offers a level of care between assisted living and skilled nursing that was exactly what we were looking for for my loved one, and is not offered in many other locations. One issue I have is that recently they've started a program where they rotate the caregivers through the different levels of care and I would much rather my loved one be able to work with the same people on a regular basis.

less traveled road side. near to us. inside great. dining upstairs. nice people working and residing met David Kramer and 90 yr old Ruth. really liked it except $$$

Beautiful, safe, clean, bright. Top of the line food. Long walk to apt. Not mom's usual community.

We've had a good experience with the community so far! It's nice looking, and very clean, and the staff have all been friendly. When we toured we really liked the look of the rooms. One feature that was great is that every bathroom in the building is handicapped/wheelchair accessible. I was amazed when I was touring communities how few accessible bathrooms some places have! Our loved one has complained a few times that the response times for her in-room call button have been slow, but we haven't been able to verify.

It's a nice place and location is ideal but Stacy felt that we didn't quit fit due to D's needs.

We really liked the look of this place when we were looking into options for Mom. We know Mom would have a difficult time transitioning to assisted living, but this place was very nice looking and we feel like it would have worked out well. We selected another community, but this one was definitely in our top 3.

My sister took my dad for a visit and was really impressed with amenities and environment. Very positive.

I like that the staff was friendly and that they kept the place very clean. It's a relatively new facility so I like that because it's nice and clean. There are a few ways they could improve. They really need to have a few more staff members. Also they could have a better communication level between the administration and those of us who are trying to take care of our loved ones. I think those are the main things.

Benton House is very nice. It was a very new facility which I think for a lot of people would be appealing but to me, I feet like they were a inexperienced because they were so new. I just related more to another place, one that has been in business for a while. This is going to sound terrible and I don't mean it to but I didn't want my mom to be like a guinea pig for a brand new place that's working kinks out. It was a beautiful place. When you look at if from the outside it was an absolute pristine place but that wasn't as important to me.

It was very nice and beautiful but my mother was not med compliant at that time so they weren't able to take her in their independent living. I’m sure they would have taken her in the assisted living but that was very expensive. Even more so than where she is living now. If you've got the money Allegro is a beautiful place.

My mom is in the place and she's adapted. It's very comfortable, she likes the food, and she's made some good friends. So far she's enjoying where she's at. She's not in to activities but they do have them. It's just not her thing. I think as she develops new friendships and people invite her to go along, her interest in the activities may develop over time. The one thing I am gong to complain about it the cost. She is on a fixed budget. We've only been there a few months and I just got a letter saying the rent is going to be increased. When I signed the lease I thought I was locked into that price for a year. It might just be the timing but I think they should accommodate people based on their income because we may need to move her if the rent keeps going up.

I had looked at this community previously for my father-in-law. It is lovely. This time I was looking for my father, and due to his health we thought he would be better in a smaller community.

It was beautiful, for me, I'm in my 40's and I was like oh my gosh it's got a pool, it's got all of these things, their dining room was very nice, it looked like an upscale type of restaurant, but my mom didn't want all the bells and whistles. It was larger so it did have a bit more of the corporate feel, but it is beaituful. Because of all the beauty and all the bells and whistels it was outside of my moms price range.

My mother utilized the respite care services. She was provided with a clean comfortable monitored place to recover from her surgery.

This was beautiful, but there were a lot of steps and my dad had been on a walker, unsteadily, and he ended up breaking his arm where he was before so he was in a wheelchair. They had ramps but with the steps we were afraid of him falling. It was nice, but it wasn't right for him.
