Solera Senior Living

I think the facility itself is fine if you were putting a friend or family member in the independent area. If you were thinking about the memory care wing, I would not suggest it. Management is really good about saying hello and how are you. The aides in the memory care unit are unskilled people sitting around on their cell phones. I don't see a lot of interaction between the aides and the residents in the memory care area. If a manager turns a corner, they all jump up. If no manager, they are all sitting around.

Visited this facility on [date removed]. Nice facility. Updated but not overly fancy. Staff was friendly enough. We were greeted by a resident in her wheelchair coming out the front door with what appeared to be no supervision. Staff when alerted seemed familiar with this resident and her tendencies and was not alarmed. Somewhat disconcerting to an unfamiliar guest though. Toured the Memory Care portion and seemed pretty typical from other facilities. Another resident was sitting in the floor as we were led on tour past his room. He appeared fine but the individual who was showing us around did not seem overly concerned but after we walked past twice and I actually showed some concern, she did not offer the resident any assistance at all, but did alert the nursing staff. It's a nice facility, clean, etc., and appeared professional. The incidents with the residents may have been coincidental, but did not give me a feeling of proper supervision of residents.

We toured this community with my mom. She did not like the hotel feeling of this community. We met with a nurse and she was able to answer questions. The were aggressive on my mom moving in. We did not see the meals that were offered. The community was clean and maintained. My mother did not find this to be a place for her, but other families might want to check community

I had a tour here and it was a nice community to visit. It was a very large facility and this would not be a good match for our mom. We were given a tour and treated with respect and kindness.

This place will not open until January 2017 and I feel there are still a lot of unknowns about this place. They say one amenity is smoke detectors and sprinkler systems. These are required by law. The room prices are very high for what you get when compared to other homes nearby. What will their financial future be? Will money be handled wisely? Will this place stay or fold in future because of financial difficulties? You are paying for 3 meals daily- if you decide to eat in your room you are paying for food you bought too. If I went now as a resident I would be paying for assisted living which I do not need.

The food was not good at all. The lack of a formal dining room for meals was not a good fit for my dad. The staffing was inadequate. We had a hard time getting staff to help my dad. The facility was very nice but it was more like a very expensive apartment than assisted living.

Facilities look nice, but careless and insufficient staff in the memory care unit. Our mom had bruises on her head and hands from rough handling. One day I visited and was horrified to see her with her head sideways lying on the table drooling, with nobody even trying to help her. Don't put your parents here if they need a higher level of care. Management was also indifferent and sometimes even hostile, especially when it came to disagreements with the hospice care staff.

The Artisan at Hudson MIGHT be OK for a Healthy Independent Senior...IF they enjoy real-life guesses + mystery (i.e: How many more days will this same salty soup be served? or “What part of our contracted Resident Agreement will be changed this month?”) and IF they not have high blood pressure, diabetes, special diet, or need much attention. The Artisan has not prioritized resident needs over making a profit if you check their Dinner Menu, you can decide if you can afford it. Communication is POOR = On the past THREE holidays a special meal was advertised, then changed literally at the last minute as guests were arriving “because the Executive Chef "didn’t know/wasn’t prepared for it”! When current Management changed our original signed Residency Contract, we were told if we didn’t agree to their revised contract terms we could move…so we did! Some residents couldn't physically make the move, so they are now in a difficult situation with unmet contract terms.

The management team does not strive to improve their responsiveness and communication with residents and attend to the needs and concerns of the community. There is not a diverse range of activities offered to residents that are engaging, stimulating, and cater to a variety of interests. It's a cycle of repetitive and mundane activities. The activity director to does not engage with residents to foster a sense of connection and create a welcoming and inclusive environment. There have been many complaints about the food quality which has never been addressed. I would not recommend Hunter Woods.

I have been a resident at the Artisan in Hudson, MA, since their opening. In that time I have witnessed many physical malfunctions (i.e., heat, lights, etc.) a rent increase of 6%, and an attitude from kitchen staff that they don't have to match the food with the description in the menu. WE ARE PAYING FOR A PRODUCT DESCRIBED IN THE MENU; THEY ARE NOT DOING US A FAVOR BY SUPPLYING IT. If you enjoy being subordinated, this is the right place for you. Tonight I ordered a dish descried in the menu as containing 5 scallops...it came with only 4, and I pointed the discrepancy and was told they did not intend to make good. If they ever do produce the missing item I will tell them what they can do with it.

Mom and dad have been residents at Edgeworth. Gradually, care quality and overall management got worsened. Nice building but rest is terrible and new executive Director is unresponsive to the needs. I do not recommend this community.

Endless problems with internal and external communication, follow up, hygiene, day to day care, staffing, training, you name it. Going on two years now of almost constant issues, and endless assurances that they will improve. They don't. I have lost hope.

My mom has been at Plush Mills for over two years now. As an independent living resident, she loved the socialization and staff. I was able to meet many of her friends and was happy that she was happy. In [date removed], she moved to Personal Care due to progressing dementia. Although she remains very active, Plush Mills has been unwilling to communicate with me to provide the things that had made her happy, even excluding her from seeing her old friends. In trying to understand and work with them, they threatened to ask my mom if I asked them any questions. I think Plush Mills is a fabulous place and a fabulous community but lacks transparency and understanding.

My parents moved in at the beginning of August and they wanted to leave there after just one month. The care is awful, the food is subpar and the residents are ignored. It takes a family member to get involved to see anything done. Promises made were definitely NOT promises kept!! Would not recommend to anyone!!

The Reserve of Lake Austin is not a recommended facility for your loved one, particularly if you are considering their Memory Care services. Many staff members lack proper training to effectively care for residents with dementia or Alzheimer's. Key areas of training are missing, including techniques for de-escalation and communication tailored to individuals with memory challenges. The facility's dining situation is equally disappointing. Despite going through multiple chefs, the food quality remains subpar. Meals are frequently served lukewarm, and the facility seems to lack an adequate system to ensure food stays warm as it is distributed throughout the building. Medication management is another critical issue. Residents often do not receive their medication at the times prescribed by their doctors. Some staff appear to implement their own rules and procedures, which seems to stem from poor leadership and a significant breakdown in communication.

Please beware of brining your love one to Lumina yes they will show you a beautiful facility with what they call state of the art technology. It is all a lie the tempo system they use is useless it will alert the care staff that a resident is in the bathroom for too long and in all actuality the resident is sitting in the dinning room or in there room watching tv. Also the care staff is over worked and under staffed for example there could be one medication technician and two caregivers for about 26 residents depending on what side you are on they will tell you staff one side 6 to 1 but to my calculations that is 8 to 1. So 3 staff member one being the medication technician who has to pass meds is responsible for getting residents up for meals taking orders serving them cleaning up after them. Ask yourself this can 3 people handle all of that without something going wrong? There are other facilities I would say more but can’t this review is only allowed 1000 characters. Just do research

Moved in [date removed]. Everything great at first. Then, we noticed things: medication not given correctly, few activities except daily happy hour, staff turnover was an epidemic! 6 complaint-related investigations of this facility by VA Dept of Social Services in 2 years. Most recent was from what ultimately led to my father-in-law's death. Supposed to be monitored nightly (per Dr’s orders) for CPAP compliance. Went to bed around 9 PM. The investigation revealed that the facility could only prove that they checked 14 out of 25 days. The [date removed]day he left the facility permanently. He had fallen the night before and couldn't get up. When found the next morning, he was already in organ failure from being on the floor all night (still in street clothes, not pajamas). He had fallen prior to going to bed and no one checked on him all night. 9 days later he passed. So far, no one has told us of any corrections. [removed]

Very sad Journey for my loved one and me. Medications not always given on time, or missed altogether. Residents are not taken to the bathroom enough. I was promised stimulating activities for my loved one in memory, like daily baking, yet very little activities ever happen. Day after day memory residents just sit and do a lot of nothing but watch tv as their main source of interaction. What's written on the daily activities board is not what always happens. Some staff are very kind, while other staffers can be rude to residents and their families. One staff CNA often yells at memory care residents constantly to sit down. It is a loud environment, not peaceful for memory care residents. Workers rarely engage the residents or talk to them. Memory residents are not allowed to access the AL dining area,, even if accompanied by family. Cameras are allowed, but staff continuously keeps moving the camera. The food is okay, some days very good others days average.

Echo Lake is understaffed and we would not recommend assisted living to other families. There are many areas they could work to improve on. However our loved one has since passed so not sure if their staffing has changed for the better

My mother's experience at Edgeworth Park at New Town was terrible. In December 2021, as my sister and I did not live in the area and needed a short-term (one month) place for our mother before moving her to North Carolina, we trusted Edgeworth Park at New Town to provide her with safe care and paid for full support in a one-bedroom unit. When we came to pick her up, we were told she had become incontinent and probably had a urinary, so we should take her to the emergency room. Beyond being surprised that the facility had not taken the initiative to have her checked by a doctor, we were horrified to discover she had spent the entire month sleeping on the couch, as the bed was too high for her to climb in unassisted. As a result, her legs were seriously swollen and covered with sores, and she was no longer able to walk. The only comment from the person who was responsible for daily care was that she (the "care" giver) hadn't been at work for several days. We immediately took our mother to the emergency room and mov
