Sodalis Elder Living

The facility was very nice, the people were nice. We had lunch there. I think the biggest thing is when they met some of the people there my former mother-in-law and father-in-law didn't feel as comfortable there. It was like a bunch of old people but they don't realize they're old people too. It was a delightful place.

When you walk in you either go right or left so you would immediately turn around; so even if you got lost you wouldn't have to take more than 20 steps so my mother couldn't really get too disoriented. We liked it here, it was easy for her to navigate but my mother was so lonely, one day she'd be calling us all the time and the next day she would be alright. She had a really large, nice apartment, she had her dining room and living room furniture but the problem was we had to take her to visit her husband and it just didn't work out. This was probably the best situation before my step father had gotten so sick, they weren't doing exactly what they were supposed to be doing but the physical layout of the building was much better than the place they went after

It was a great place while she was there, the cost was good. It was in very close vicinity to where I lived and I knew people in administrative positions personally so I knew it would be a good place because we knew people there but they were all great. They took care of her very well and she liked it very much, it was her idea to go. The activities were very, very good and she picked and chose what she wanted to do. She was in a room with a roommate and they took care of each other. After I found out there were people there that we knew I knew she would be comfortable.

My brother-in-law is there and he likes it, he really does except for the food. The residents complain about it - it's good food, it's just not what they want. The community is really nice. It's comfortable and the people are friendly.

My father is living there now and the staff is very friendly. The building is very clean and the landscaping is great. The care services are very good compared to some of the other facilities I've looked at - they've got an RN on hand. My father hasn't taken part in any of the activities yet but from what I could see, they have a wide range of activities available for residents.

It is hard to rate this community because they do some stuff really good but do other things not very good. We have been having some issues with them and are trying to iron them out but it seems like no one is really taking responsibility. The community itself is extremely clean they really take care of it but when it comes to the bathrooms they are not very clean at all. The staff is really friendly and are very responsive when you call or stop by. Cost is about $3,200 a month. The food is really good. The community is secure and they have a locked door policy so after hours or on weekend the staff has to let you in. So sometimes you get stuck waiting there a little while. Overall it is a really good community that just has some flaws but they seem to want to fix them and really provide the best care they can.

My Brother in Law is very happy with the Stanley House.

I really liked this place. I loved everything I saw and heard.

Has Alzheier's Services

I feel very strongly in favor of. Dr. Shepherd visits there.

Beautiful!

very impressed. clean, friendly nice rooms...made us feel at home..

Beautiful facilities. Homelike atmosphere. Also like fact that they can provide services from assisted living to full care,

There is a variety of activities for the residents to participate in. The staff are very friendly. The community is cozy. This is a good environment for my loved one as it is a simpler community for them. The portions of food seem to be larger than the residents will eat. The way they present it on the website, is not what is being served in the community, and it appears it can look overcooked. The food can also be cold for the residents.

This was an okay community. However, the marketing person didn't seem to know much about the community during the tour.

The floor staff is very friendly, however we do think when it comes to the value for cost we are not getting a good deal for what our loved ones are receiving. The activities are still pretty restricted, but we do know they are offering bingo. When it comes to the meals, our loved ones never want to leave anything on their plates, but the meal portions are just too large so they get frustrated when they have to throw food away.

The community is assisted living and they offer some care services. If you just need assisted living I would recommend this community to others

I'm satisfied with the care

My mom has recently made the move into this community and so far she is loving her new living environment. I think the staff are doling great job with how they are running things and I am comfortable with the care she has been receiving. She has said how much she is enjoying participating in some of the activities they offer as well as the tasty meals the chef provides. Overall it has been a pleasant experience and I would recommend it to anyone interested.

My mother started out in the assisted living area at Elmcroft of Austin, but I sooned realized that she was in need of memory care. So while I had my mother out to lunch they moved her entire room over into the memory care apt so that when we came back my mother felt she was still in her own apt. They are very caring, compassionate and they show their residents that little extra something in how they care for them. I did some intensive research in finding a place for my mother and Elmcroft showed me that they went the extra mile. They have what they call companion rooms which have separate bedrooms but a shared sitting room and my mother had a built-in friend! They have become inseparable. Elmcroft staff makes sure that your family member is not isolated and that they are kept active with coloring, bingo (using animal crackers instead of chips which my mom ate as she played). They make a baked dish each Wednesday (a yummy peach cobbler last week.) There's also the exercise group for all who want to burn off calories to participate in. The Memory unit has their own dining area with table clothes, and in fact we had a birthday party for my mom on the 11th. Everyone attended (including the director) showing the little something extra they do. They also have a great gerontologist practice that visits the premises so I do not have to take my mother out, My goals for mom was safety, quality of life and that I could be a part of her care- Elmcroft offers all three of these! I can definitely recommend Elmcroft of Austin to my friends and family.
