Senior Lifestyle - Main

Very nice. Semi-private rooms looked nice. NO MEDICAID FOR DEMENTIA.

Mom like this most of all

I really loved this place. I stopped by unexpectedly and they took the time to talk to me and show me around. Very nice place and very nice people there. A few days later the Director stopped by to meet my mom. Definately considering Sterling House.

CCRC Brookdale. Lunch was lovely Edwards & Good Sam Hospitals. Ice cream shop, pool, shuffle brd, active community. Recognizes Jewish holidays? Handful of Jewish residents. Best view overlooking grass & gazebo. Laundry can be added in kitchen. Shower would need to be installed.

After our tour at Woodbourne Place, based on looks I would rate it 3 out of 5. Based on hospitality of the staff, I would rate it 4 out of 5. They were very welcoming, honest, and promised very good care. They had good follow-up with me afterward. However, it was too far away for our family. There were no open areas for families to visit - visits would have taken place in the resident's room. And ultimately it just didn't have all the warm fuzzies and beauty of the place we chose.

Barrington has beautiful apartments with a lively ambiance. we came across some good people here who were very friendly and helpful. especially the front desk staff and the activities director, they were extremely kindhearted. we did notice a big difference between the general staff and the nursing staff. the quality of their assisted living program did seem to be lacking. it wasn't so much the nurses themselves, but more so the management. we did have to remove my loved one because their was a lack of attentiveness and care management, we did not feel that we were working with a team. this was also a learning experience, as we may not have been fully aware of my loved ones state and needs. Barrington has a lot of great strengths, but their assisted living is a weakness. I can tell that this community is changing, and it doesn't take much to notice that there has not been a revamp in the assisted living side. Barrington would have been a great place for my loved one several years ago when she was more upbeat and independent. I would be hesitant to recommend this community to those in need of an advanced level of care; I would advise you to look elsewhere - just based off of our experience. this would be a great community for independent living and younger residents.

This is a safe place with good views of changing leaves. It takes a little while getting used to the young people coming after the assistance button is pushed. Some of the caregivers was good about checking on you and some of them were very quick to leave after checking on you. The staff didn't give any help for an exit plan, and they would want to take over at anytime they walked in. It just was disappointing they didn't check on how I was doing. I felt on my own here, except when I would push the button for assistance. The food was good.

We do not have much feedback as of right now, but the feedback we do have is we know our loved one is not happy with the meals they are serving. There are also no activities right now.

The community made us guarantee our loved one at the beginning and that all cost extra. So the man issue was that there were additional charges due to covid but no refund when our loved one passed.

My first hand (initial visit) was great. Very friendly staff. I have noticed that since my father has been a resident there, communication via phone with the 2nd shift hasn't been good at all. I left a message with a staff person to have [name removed] (Administrator) to give me a call with some concerns that I have, and as to date, I have not received that call, which concerns me. Also I informed the staff that on [date removed], I would be picking up my father to take him to a family viewing and to have him ready by 1:45, no later than 2:00pm. When I arrived, the aide said no one told her about his leaving and she had no idea what was going on. I find this kind of disturbing and think that more communication needs to be done. Otherwise, everything else seems to be going ok

There are some unhappy campers at the Sheridan at this time. The residents pay a considerable amount of money each month for their apartments and additional services. At this time, the quality of the food service is a concern. There have been numerous head cooks over the course of the last year. Foods that are posted as being offered at meals are often not available when a resident tries to order their meal. Perhaps further guidance needs to be given to the kitchen staff so that they can adequately order amounts of food. There has been a revolving door with servers, as well. Seniors appreciate consistency and getting to know those who care for them. It would be advisable for the laundry staff to speak to residents about their laundry needs before removing it from one's apartment. There are many positive things happening at the Sheridan from the quality of the facility, its cleanliness, the outstanding recreation director, the friendliness of the employees, and the availability of a van to transport residents to appointments and nearby shopping. I look forward to seeing improvements on the issues I have identified on my next visit to The Sheridan at Tyler Creek.

The meals are sometimes lacking and sometimes too spicy or salty. Other than that the staff and help are outstanding. Everyone is so friendly and eager to help.

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!!!

We toured Canfield Place for my brother, and I though the facility was very nice. The guy who met us and guided us on the tour was also very nice. However, the facility was way out and away from family, stores, and other places, so we opted for a community closer to us.

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].

While my mother was in this community, it was not a good fit. They had no snacks and they recently changed management. I am glad I got her out of there before they did so.
