Senior Lifestyle - Main

During your initial contact ask lots questions, make sure that ever thing gets clarified. Overall we are pleased that my mom is there. We just had to tweek some things when she came back from the hospital. We ate in the big the big dining the night she moved in and it was fantastic.

It looks like a rich persons, hotel. It was huge, gigantic, and so much money. I felt like my loved one would have gotten so lost there.

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for my loved one. This was a nice looking community, and the staff were all very friendly. However, this facility felt more like a nice hotel to me than a place that my loved one would be comfortable living.

Friendly staff,good food choices, seem to need more staff, but overall she likes it at this facility. The rehabilitation staff are doing a good job with my mother. l

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for our loved one. This was a very nice looking place, however it didn't quite have the atmosphere we thought would be best for our loved one. Everything here looked nice, and the employees were very friendly, but it felt more like a nice hotel than a home. It wasn't very intimate.

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

Facility has nice common areas. Lots of garage space. Independent apartments have very little closet space.

The Devonshire has been pretty good. I would say the food is good. My only issue is the home health agency they recommend. I didn't realize at first but you can use a different home health agency. There is a lot of inconsistency with theirs. There is always a different caregiver, and they don't know what they are supposed to do. They say they can't do things because they need a doctors referral but nobody let me know I needed to get one. It has been frustrating with their home health team.

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.

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.

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.
