Senior Lifestyle - Main

I visited many similar facilities and narrowed the choices down to two such facilities. My mother chose this one based on location. My choice would have been the other. The food varies from ok to not so ok. The overall cleanliness is spotty. There are additional charges for virtually everything. For example, in every competitor's facility, there are exercise rooms, many are better equipped, this is the only one I found that charges a monthly fee for usage.

Everyone has been extremely friendly and welcoming to my father at this community. I am very pleased with the quality of care he has been receiving in the memory unit. He also has been enjoying the meals they have been providing him as well as the social environment with the other residents. I do wish that they had more activities available for him throughout the day to keep him busy. They have nothing for males to do.

03/10/2017 The place is still brand spanking new, which makes it head and shoulders above the other establishments. The rooms are of a nice size, not to big, but not to small. The community and staff are very accommodating and friendly, it's easy to fit in and find friends. The food is varied and tasty, if a bit erratic in it's quality and service. Something they need to work on. Moving in can be chaotic, many miscommunications happen regularly, from missed medications to being sorely uninformed of the daily routines. Many times it feels as if one hand does not know what the other is doing. If you as a family member can be involved and be an advocate for the resident, you can keep your thumb on the management and staff. After 5 weeks of being here, we are starting to get with the program. They have private bus service which is really nice, room service for when you don't feel like eating in the dining room, housekeeping, laundry service... there are many benefits. I believe once they settle in to a good staff, and a regular schedule things will become smoother for all the residents.

I had a pretty nice tour of this community. The community looked nice, and well kept. The staff was kind, and friendly. It was a nice experience, and everything went well.

I had a good tour of this community, everyone was kind. It was a good experience, and I didn't have any problems. The community appeared to be well-kept, and well maintained. The staff was friendly. All went well, but this wasn't the community for husband, and his needs.

We had a pretty pleasant tour of this facility. It is a nice place, and everything went well. The community was nice looking. Everything we saw appeared nice, and clean. The staff we met was friendly, and kind. The experience went well.

The staff has been good. Overall everything has been good, but I do have one complaint that I have brought to them. Before dad moved in I used to have people calling all the time. Now whenever I have a problem I have called, emailed and texted with no response. Communication is key and they need to step up there game.

The Garden Way Place was okay. The main area where the residents had to hang out was quite small. Most of them were watching tv while I was on my tour. The place was too restricted and it just was not what we were looking for at the time.

My tour of this is community was a pleasant one. The community looked nice and clean. The staff was kind and very friendly. This is an assisted living community, and my in laws are still pretty independent. It was a good tour, but not the place for my in laws.

I had a good tour of this community. From what I saw everything appeared to be well-kept. The community looked nice and clean. The staff I met was kind and helpful. There were many factors that played into where place my loved one. This just wasn't the community for her and her needs.

The management is not easy to work with. The staff however were pleasant. My dad had a hard time making friends and socializing because the memory care residents were not kept separate. The community didn't promote socialization or activities among the residents.

Some days, seniors need a little extra help - after an illness, injury or procedure, and I am always made to feel that asking for a little extra attention is a big imposition to the staff. Sometimes, they also seem so rushed, and things my Mom needs done are done rather poorly. Maybe they need more staff? We pay A LOT of money for her to live there. Mom doesn't like the food, and the meal times are very regimented. It's hard to make an 89 year old change their way of eating and if you don't match their tight schedule, you are out of luck. Mom barely avails herself of the food she if forced to pay for. She is comfortable, but care and caring is not individualized for such a steep sum.

In the running but very few two bedroom units in assisted living and the one bed room is just too small.

Everything is going pretty well for my wife at this community. It is a very nice looking community, everything looks great. The staff is really good, they are very helpful and kind. They do offer nice activities for the residents. The food is okay, and I would like for the staff to help her more when she is eating. They are caring for my wife very well.

My Mom is a new resident and the facility is lovely, the care seems good thus far.

So far it's working out okay. I don't have any major complaints. They keep it clean and the staff is friendly. Though they are a little short staffed, and the food could definitely be improved.

I will say that my loved ones are receiving excellent care here, and it is a very nice looking facility. However, I had a very poor experience actually getting them in here. The woman I worked with was friendly, I was working with a very limited time frame and I feel like I was being taken advantage of. I couldn't get them to give me a price for anything until I told them my budget, and they came back with something slightly above that. I also paid a 5,100 fee which I thought was a down payment on the first months rent, but it turns out it was a non-refundable "community fee". They really need to do a better job explaining their various fees, and having a price sheet for potential residents would go a long way as well.

Sometimes I feel like the staff are over reacting at The Woodmark at Uptown. She has been there a month and has been in the hospital twice already. I just think they are a little too quick to judge some thing. They are really taking assisted living to the furthest degree. They don't really encourage her to get out of her room much. She has early onset dementia and is in a new environment, new people and just getting used to everything. Well, the staff want to put her in memory care already. I think it is a little soon but we are working on it.

I found that their nursing staff, as far as administering the medications was really lacking. The three times that I was there visiting in a week and a half I experienced errors in dosing and asked to see the orders and they were not followed specifically the way they should have been.

I am writing on behalf of my parent who has moved into the Breakers. The apartment and the view is terrific. The activities are good as well. However, the dining situation is abysmal. Each day, there is a wait to be seated of at least an hour. That is just to be seated. It can take 30 minutes just to get the order taken by a server. Add another 40 minutes to be served cold food. The food is bland or mushy. This has been going on all summer. The dining area is understaffed and the management does not seem to be doing much about it. If not for the social aspect of taking the meal plan, I would certainly not recommend it.
