Sinceri Senior Living

Julie was full of energy and willing to chat and share lots of good information regarding the memory care unit, and the Morningside at Bellgrade overall. Upon arrival, strong pee smell was noted, but when we left and more people were around, the odor was gone. In the memory care unit, some residents were in the activity room, one sleeping, one visiting with family, one hanging out, and one coloring. The Montessori method for activities, and the containers for each resident were pointed out to me. One resident was walking without her walker, and we got someone to help her find her walker. Didn't see staff interacting with residents, wish I could have seen that. Closets are kept locked so residents stay out of each other's stuff. Other facilities have taken closet doors off for safety. Interesting how different facilities deal with those things.

I chose Elmcroft for the services they offer but my expereince has been rocky. A lot of things we are paying for they haven't come through on. There is a consistency problem, liners missing from trash cans or not having any diapers. The people there are good and working with us. We hope these inconsistencies are soon fixed but for follow through on services we pay for I'd give them a 3.

25 March 2013 toured. Senior mgmt very experienced. Nice environment - pocket areas for residents to be alone but out of room. Current maintenance person not very skilled. Calendar not overly full on a daily basis. Helpful in explaining importance of State certified vs. Nurse certified Med Aids. Did not go with this facility due to cost as it relates to other quality facilities I visited. Would trust the care provided by this property. Not a fan of the semi-private rooms that have one entrance and both beds in one room for a man who is still mobile. I assume women would handle this layout better.

Small. Only 3 detached houses, and the masters are too small for a Cal King. The patio looking at the Whitford ball field was nice. Baseboard heat and electric stove felt very apartment-y. No skilled nursing, so it's just food and basic activities, with an available bus. good food. Memory care available if you are already a resident. Across from Red Tail on Scholls Ferry

Had toured Layton Terrace in early Feb. I believe. My concern with Layton Terrace is their limited participation in Family Care and emphasis on personal financial responsibility, giving the impression that when you run out of money you're out the door. I was impressed with the facility but not high on my list because of the financial impression.

seems ok-informative-friendly

good location. Compared to the Beaverton location the rooms here have bathroom inside each apartment. RN has been w them for only 6 mo. Clean, quite. They charge 20% more than the BEav location for a private room. Also, I would have to arrange for any neccesary doctor apointment.

Not too impressed with layout of place - great room had about three stories to sap the heat and residents didn't look too happy. Mother would not fit in.

Visited with facility. Very nice and clean place. Staff was very attentive. Smaller amount of patients. Does not take Medicaid. Does not have a 7 day a week nursing staff. Also, visiting doctors do not have rights to hospital.

It is nice.

Older place. Rooms were very small. Maybe only 12x12. Other wise it was clean and ok.

Nice, friendly, some odors, residents looked to be zombie-ish.

Found the setup more like an upscaled hotel and the tour had more of a rush feel. may be that Director was not really comfortable, seemed as though she was not aware of the scheduled tour, it may have been just a bad day.

Plus - 2 bedroom apts with good size and facilities. 2 levels of Assisted Living care. Nice area of Waukesha. Minus - Long corridors with elevators to apartments. Different levels of Assisted Living care means different locations. Keyed elevator for dad will be difficult. No activities noticed during visit(9:30 am). Environment a bit sterile. Estimated $7200/mo

Only assisted living. Minimum cost $3445.

Nice place. Studio is just a bedroom - nothing other then a bedroom. Very, very small. Place itself is nice.

Offers trial period and short term. I like this one.

Pros: Location. Nice and well-maintained (but older) facility with more resident suites than Sunrise. Staff very helpful, curteous and professional with residents and visitors. On-site physical/rehab therapist. Rooms/private suites are attractive, clean and well-maintained (but a little dated). Fire control and building security functional and maintained. Overall a nice facility and less expensive than Sunrise. Cons: High/loud noise levels (voice and music) in common areas. Facility design has hotel style corridors leading to rooms and suites. Private (couples) suite appears to be smaller than in Sunrise. Outdoor walkway limited to front of building with no noticeable rest areas (benches/chairs) along walkway route. Given the proximity to the main entrance, the ground floor common area (nursing station, receptionist, bistro and dining rooms, etc) appeared very busy, somewhat congested with residents and friends/visitors and was noisey.

people are nice

I toured this place. Nice place, but too far away from where I live.
