Senior Lifestyle - Main

A bit more expensive than I anticipated

My mother has been at lakeside vista for almost two years. She started out in building one where minimal care was needed....the staff helped move her in and the process went smooth..I have noticed in two years the food has improved greatly, maybe due to new ownership. Since then, she has declined and is now in building 4 due to dimentia. As her daughter I am there a lot, and I love the interaction between the nursing staff and myself! They seem concerned and caring and overall it’s a very nice place to be!!!

Copper Springs has been good, overall. When we first moved in, we had some issues with lack of communication on the part of the staff, but we had a meeting with them. Since the meeting, it seems they are making an effort to rectify the issues. The caregivers and the food here are both very good, it's a clean place, and they have a lot of activities going on. almost every time a visit, I see people involved in something. Overall our experience here has been positive.

I stopped over to look at Addison, and I thought they were great. The community looked great, and I was able to take a short tour and see some of the rooms. I was worried that they didn’t take state aid however, so I didn’t want to risk moving my loved one here.

We were in a time crunch when we stopped by this community and the staff was kind enough to do a tour for us as they understood our position and were willing to help. I would definitely recommend taking a tour of this community.

This community looked clean when we toured it. It did seem like a darker setting. This community offers assisted living and memory care. We were looking for independent living. I would recommend taking a look at this community to see if it would be right for your loved one.

On my visit to the community , I found they were too expensive. Once we had a meeting and when I got the price, there was no need to tour. They were upfront and professional. They were fine when having the meeting.

The staff are always helpful, they try to meet your needs. There are a lot of smiles and laughter! The facility is well lighted, clean, bright, inviting. Dining area has the tables set with table cloths, stemware glasses, and flowers at all meals. Entertainers come in on the weekend to perform. Some problem with food shortages. My mom and sister are adjusting nicely. Thank you, [Removed].

My mom is struggling to adjust but it is nice community. The staff are willing to make her feel comfortable and they accommodate her with what is helpful. The meals are really well prepared from what I seen during lunch. The plan one big activity a week and have celebration for holidays. For St. Patrick's Day they had Irish dancers perform for the residents.

They offer different levels of care at this community. The staff I met were nice and the community seemed clean. It did not seem like there was a lot of interaction between the staff and residents. They have a smaller memory care unit and unfortunately, the layout of the community would not work for mom. This is a nice community and I would say to take a look at it.

The Sheridan at Tyler Creek was a very nice community to tour, but it was almost too new. Also, the dementia unit is on the third floor, and they have no outdoor space. It was also a bit on the pricey side.

This community was the only one in the area that gave my loved one the chance to live in assisted living instead of memory care. The staff are busy, however they have taken the time to talk with us. I would like a little more feedback on how she is doing on a daily basis. She likes the deserts and the food is ok. They have some variety of food choices. I don't think they are engaging her as much as we would like. They do have a beauty shop on site.

This is a good community and I am thankful to A Place for Mom for giving us a lot of options to choose from. She seems to like the food and there is a beautiful dining room. There are a lot of different activities offered such as church and movie nights. I would recommend this community.

My Mother was at Mangrove Bay for 4 1/2 years. The director and staff were very caring to my Mother. Any time a matter came up, the director always took time to visit with me. I am truly grateful to Jinah and her staff for sharing care to my Mother. Mangrove Bay is a beautiful facility, and I would recommend it.

As a seasoned veteran in healthcare communities, (due to my father) . I find Bayshore to be exactly what we needed. I was incredibly impressed by the care staff and clinicians, as well as the care of my father. Our family is so greatful for the amazing variety of fresh produce, fruits and choices in menu. I absolutely Cannot Thank the kitchen staff enough.Our special THANKS to Valerie, she herself sees to it everyday that the residents are well fed and Happy. Our family is thrilled with our experience. Again THANK You!!!!

Most of the people there at Meadowbrook of Agoura Hills are very good. The food is fair. Sometimes it is great, but usually just fair. While most of the staff is very understanding and considerate, but there is one staff member that has been a little rude to me on a couple of occasions and that can definitely impact my outlook on the place.

My mother is living at Woodbourne Place. Overall, I think it's the right match for her. She receives 3 wholesome meals a day. Medicine is carefully taken care of. Staff is friendly and helpful. The only things that should be improved on is the cleaning of apartments and following through on listed activities. There needs to be more activities for the residents. I give it a rating of fair to good. Thank you.

My family looked at several places for Mom. One reason we chose Baywinde is because they allowed Mom to bring her cat. This was very important to her. We also liked the special memory care area. There are a lot of different activities so Mom was busy throughout the day, not just sitting in her room watching t.v. The meals are nutritious and delicious. We feel good knowing She is safe and happy.

When I approached Spring Hills about placing my Mom who had a stroke that left Her right side immobile and unable to speak. Throughout the interview process I received nothing but assurance that they could hanfke Mom in her condition and was lead to believe that the assigned level of care(highest) she would receive would address all of her needs. This was sadly misleading. While there is no doubt in my mind the staff cares for the residents their failure to consistently deliver has left me disappointed. I am paying extra for the personal care I was lead to believe was included ( this place is lovely but very expensive to begin with) in monthly fees. With better communication, staffing and practices this place could be great. At present its good and considering it was the best of all I've seen Mom will stay for now.

I wish the assisted living in room monitors didn't act as the PA system. It's confusing to my mother. The nurses make announcements asking another nurse to "declare their location" or basically, where are you? What room are you in providing care.....what resident are you with.....that kind of an announcement and my mom is very confused by that kind of noise. When she is in her room this apparently goes on throughout the day. The announcements about lunch and general activities are great but the facility needs to find a better way to allow staff to "page" each other without disturbing residents.
