Sodalis Elder Living

Sodalis is clean and staff is pleasant. The meals are reasonably good and they accommodate as needed (somebody doesn’t eat fish they will make nice salad for them). They have lots of activities listed and planned, but they don’t always organize or conduct the activity. Family is there to support daily and relieves some of the workload from staff. Maintenance is superb. Housekeeping and laundry is done multiple times a week as needed. I am pleased to have family member there in good hands.

There have been a lot of staff changes, both administration and caregivers, since my sister moved in last year. I've always been pleased with the caregivers and how they treat all of the residents. And that is very important to me! Families should feel comfortable and welcomed when they walk in the door of a community. It's an extremely difficult decision, trusting strangers with their loved one. I'm there several times a week and always available by phone. I live less than 2 miles from Sodalis which factored into my decision when I was looking at communities.

This is a tough one. My 88 year old uncle stayed for 2 weeks respite stay. My husband & I checked out numerous places prior. Sodalis Clearwater seemed very nice. People, encouragement, food, room, etc. This was the first time my uncle could not stay home while my husband & I were away, so I knew it might be challenging for him. First two calls to him, things sounded ok. Third call, he said he was very unhappy. Most of the reasons he gave, didn't really happen. The only one I knew was real, because I called Sodalis about it was that a nurse went into his room at night & woke him up to check on him. I was never told they were going to do that & it was very stardling for him because of his military time. Once I found out about it and spoke to them, they stopped. I think it's probably a very good place, just tough for my uncle's first time and him getting adjusted. I did notice his trash cans were overflowing when I went to pick up his stuff on check out day. That was very disappointing.

Orientation of the facility and where the theater, salon, med room, patios, library, etc. for newly arriving residents could be GREATLY improved. None of this was done for my parent. At the time we visited the facility and again when we were signing the paperwork, we were told that a “buddy” or “ambassador” would be assigned to our parent. Nothing of the sort never happened. Communication with regards to shower days, housecleaning, laundry days should be provided to the family and residents on the first day they arrive. This needs to be addressed and improved. Responsibilities of the medical staff and what they are allowed or not allowed to do should be better communicated. When enrolling new residents it should be communicated to the family members that the new resident should have already established a relationship with a PCP. Otherwise, there could be a delay in getting the care your family member needs.

I've had a good experience since I've been here. I did not know what to expect when I moved in and but had an idea.

Staff deserve pay increases, this isn’t easy work, and all staff are hard workers who are also able to be as kind as they are helpful. There is also a very real sense of community among residents. Folks were very welcoming to my mom who was finding the transition confusing. Most rooms are private I believe and nicely appointed.

They show a 31 day calendar of all the events they are going to be doing and it's not true as they do nothing.

The staff are attentive and truly care for the residents. The facility is beautiful, with inviting common areas and engaging activities for everyone. It's clear they prioritize well-being and happiness. I highly recommend it!

I like the residents, the therapists and yes I would recommend this community to other families.

Keep in mind that my ratings are based on the times I have visited and not 24/7 observations. It's affordable. I'm convinced the care and cleanliness is better here than in a nursing home.

Very friendly. The new remodeling, is what stuck out over other places.

My mother has lived at Sodalis Largo for about a month and all is well. The only issue mom has is the dining hall seems to be having a few issues with changes in staff and food being very bland . They have gone through many admin changes since first of the year so I totally understand. It is a very safe and clean environment and my Mom is happy so it’s a lot less worrying for me. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Will be attending family night tomorrow and my mom is really looking forward to it.

Before I committed to placing my sister there, I wanted her to see it for herself. I was confident she could be happy there, but I knew she was reluctant to be placed anywhere. She valued her independence and I felt she would do better if she felt she had a voice in the decision. We visited and she loved it right away. We had lunch and she was very happy. She moved in less than two weeks later.

My experience overall is good at Sodalis. I have made some good friends here. It's a good place to live. I feel safe and secure here. I would recommend this facility to someone looking for somewhere to live.

My Mom died 2 1/2 years ago so my feedback is dated. Overall the facility was quite good. I remember the leadership was not very friendly but everybody else was great.

Facility was very nice and clean. The people were nice and respectable. Very nice services.

My mom has been in sodalis for 3 years. She loves the facility. The staff try hard to help residents in any matter needed. All facilities are not perfect and neither is sodalis, but they try their very best to solve any problems in a reasonable time. The activities are superb. Mom very rarely gets bored. Always something going on. The food has its ups and Downs, but over all the new food supervisor "[name removed]" is willing to listen to any complaints and does everything she can to improve it. [name removed] the nurse is a good getter. There is nothing she won't do. Your family is first for her. [name removed] the director is awesome. She is always ready to help or talk to any family about anything they need. Overall sodalis is a wonderful place for my mom. Thank you to all the staff that go above and beyond to help my mom and me.

The CNAs and med staff were awesome. Management had a lot of turnovers. We were there 3 weeks and management was fired or quit twice. Seems corporate cares more about the $ than the staff and residents. We were in the memory care unit. They were super good to Mom and us in this unit. However overworked and understaffed. Alz patients require a lot of care and attention. My Mom passed within the first month. They were awesome at the end of her life. No condolences from management, only you owe us for 30 more days even after death. Also there was dripping ac vents and mold in the main bldg. No snacks or fruit provided in between meals.

I would first like to start they made many aesthetically pleasing changes to the place when we first moved in. The staff was great in the beginning; however, there were a lot of turnover with staff that occurred a few months afl not tolerate mediocre for my mom. I ended up leaving because it was too far from mter my mom was there that had the place in turmoil. If you were not visiting often, I'm not sure how the care would have been. I was there constantly ensuring everyone does there job. After a few months trying to find the right staff, they turned everything around and we back to normal again. The staff was great and they saw that I was a constant presence who wily house and I wasn't able to get over there as often as I desired. But anyone who lives in that area I would highly recommend this place. It has a high turnover but I'm unsure of how it is now. These type places always have a high rate of turnover. My mom's room was just the right size for her and the food was decent.
