Senior Lifestyle - Main

Love the staff .. Very caring ... The staffing on the weekends seems a lil thin but I think this is common in all assisted living /nursing home facilities...They have one of the larger suites Very nice. I think the food is excellent for a facility truly ! The chef makes homemade soups and gravies !

It's a beautiful place. Everyone seems happy & friendly. I think the apartments are proportioned well with small kitchens, larger living areas and plenty of closet space.

My mother and step father say every time I talk to them how nice everyone is from the person who cleans their room, to the people that serve the food even the head of maintenance and the security guard too . They also say the food is really good and there is always an activity of some sort going on. They say it's always clean and they feel safe. As their daughter I can not ask for more .

Everyone that I spoken to or worked with have been friendly and helpful, they made the application process better. The facility is nice and so are the rooms. Right away, my father got a haircut and a shave from the barber and he's back walking. A nice place for my dad.

I think it's a little pricey the amount they charge to give meds I think is a little high. It really is a small facility and It feels more homey my dad seems alot more comfortable there they're always trying to find something new for them to do.

We have found staff to be available, helpful and responsive. We are very pleased with both the staff and the facilities. I cannot stress enough how comforting it has been, and is, to have[name removed] in such a wonderful facility run be such competent and attentive staff.

Everyone has been extremely helpful and kind!

Friendly and longevity of some staff . I go often without notice to visit and her bed is made and the room is clean . Staff recognizes me snd will tell me where she is in the building.

We chose this facility because of the friendly and caring staff to their residents. Staff are always friendly and always looking out for your family member. You can feel safe by having your family member at Addington Place.

I believe that the hands on staff treated the residents with immense caring. I never saw one that was impatient or mean and I was there a lot.

We chose The Woodmark Uptown because the room was larger than the other and the staff were very friendly. For such a nice facility and the price... you would think they could at least get the elevators repaired in a decent amount of time. 2 - 3 weeks for repair is ridiculous.

It feels like a home...not like a facility, the staff are very receptive and helpful and stay in communication, if there is ever an issue they find a way to resolve it and are very caring towards the residents. Only thing to improve on: no more cream of carrot soup :)

We are very happy here. Also, we can still get around for ourselves. Answers are based on that. Apartments are large with large walking closets, washer and dryer in apartment, apartment cleaning full kitchen. Diner meals and more. One other big item for us is the indoor parking. They are very responsive to my needs. Food is very good.

I would say 5 for all the categories, with the exception of #5. But I will note that Mom doesn't take part in many of the activities due to her age and some health restrictions. Also, I don't really have a lot of interaction with a majority of the admin staff. However, if that includes the care givers, med techs, dining room, etc.....they are all stars and deserve a 5. The staff at Canfield is super. In regards to #8, Assisted Living is expensive but the care provided and living accommodations at Canfield are really good.

When my mother passed away halfway through the billing cycle, we got a refund for the remainder of the time, very fair place to do business with. Every one of my family members who went to visit my mother, said how nice the place was how cordial everyone was how professional the employees were. Good food, great employees, clean room, clean building. My mother was always showered, teeth brushed, hair combed, dressed ready for the day. Most of the assisted-living facilities I've been in in my lifetime. I've always smelled like urine. This place did not because they take care of the people

I think it's a very sweet place just understaffed like most places. I hear food is the biggest complaint of residents. I love the size for my husband. The regular workers are great. It's a very friendly and caring place. Everyone knows each other. I think it would be perfect if the food was better and had more workers. Seems to be a turnover of workers. It's hard work and some just don't stay long. It was the best place I looked at for the price. Others were out the roof.

I am enjoying my life at The Beakers. The food is good, although sometimes food seems to be high in fat, salt and carbs. But, I understand that cooking for so many people with different tastes is difficult. The population is diverse, which is good. The number of activities, bus trips, and entertainment is good. Also, the location is excellent. My view of and access to Lake Michigan is wonderful.

Addington Place was truly a home away from home for my mom. The atmosphere is light and airy compared to other facilities we looked at the staff seems to work really well with each other and because of that it transferred down to the care of its residents. Although my mom was unable to participate in the daily activities, I know that she would have thoroughly enjoyed them if she could. I would highly recommend Addington Place to anyone seeking a special place for their loved one.

Staff is friendly and have good communication between nurses and my husband and I. The room size is perfect for my mother in law. The facility is bringing on more activities than they had when she moved there in the fall. They have things like sip and paint/ice cream parties/trivia parties and things like that.

It is a very nice community- not too large and all friendly. Yes, we would recommend River Glen of St. Charles to other families based on the experience we have had so far.
