Sonida Senior Living

My experience at the Wellington has been excellent. It is a welcoming and friendly community. All the staff make it a point to get to know each resident by name. There are activities to participate in daily if you choose. I love many things at the Wellington but one thing that stands out is that in addition to having a stove, refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave; I have a washer and dryer right in my apartment. I am excited to tell my family and friends about the Wellington.

The staff was awesome! From the front desk to the PT department. Very friendly and a lot of fun. Mom did say the food could've been better. She enjoyed the activities such as when they'd bring in music.

From what I'm understanding, the guy who drives the bus to take them places isn't all that friendly. They have to fill out a form to go somewhere and if there's even one mistake, he kicks it back and isn't very friendly about it. I don't believe the housekeeping is up to par either, they are supposed to have light housekeeping in their rooms and I don't think much is done.

My Mom loves the Waterford at Ironbridge. She moved in two months ago, and she has been happy ever since. She is 84 and she lived alone for the last 18 years. Once she stopped driving, we knew she would need more social interaction. She certainly has that in spades at the Waterford. She loves the food, the apartment cleaning, the bingo and musical performances. She regrets not making this move sooner. From a daughter's perspective, the Waterford is bright, airy and very welcoming. The staff has been outstanding. We are very pleased with our decision.

Its the closest thing to home I can find. I love happy hour, they sure know how to keep us on our toes. I love all the activities we do, especially bingo and everything else. All the staff is real nice and they are always wanting to help.

Hello! My father has been here for a very long time and I couldnt imagine how I would of survived this long without the love and support from the community and staff at the Waterford. They definitely go above and beyond to make sure my dad is not only taken care of physically but emotionally and his wellbeing. He’s always been shy and not a socialist so to see him out and laughing and smiling is so special to me. Along with knowing hes being fed and cared for when i live so far and can not come as much as i would like to . Its been such a huge stress relief for me knowing hes safe and healthy. Most of all i can call any time and they will keep me updated on any situation i need to know. I can not thank them enough from the front desk to all the staff; the cleaning girls and especially their activities Director [name removed] she is absolutely amazing getting them motivated and involved in doing daily fun things! Their place is well taken care of and beautiful. I highly recommend coming here.

The Waterford is Our home now by [name removed] When I had complications from neck fusion surgery, I needed help to recover, care for my wife, who has memory issues and our 17-pound long haired dachshund. Our daughters investigated several options and recommended The Waterford at Ironbridge. We have been living here for the past seven months and have been satisfied with the care we receive and the many features. The staff here have been caring, respectful and responsive. Another resident, who has lived at other senior living facilities prior to The Waterford, told me recently, “The people here have their act together.” I agree. It seems to me that all the staff here, whether hospitality, housekeeping, laundry, maintenance or administration recognize that each of us residents have some kind of vulnerability and are working to minimize it. Services meet our needs. The Waterford does our laundry on a weekly basis. It is picked up, washed, dried, folded or hung and returned. Our

Felt good when I walked inside. Have lived here a year and it feels like home. The residents are friendly and the entire staff are amazing and very caring. Visited several other facilities and chose to make my home here.

Excellent. Have lived at the Waterford for about 2 and a half years. I moved in after loosing my husband. I had a fall after I moved in. It helped that I lived in a community where I wear a pendent for emergencies because I was helped very quickly and was able to avoid more injury. I enjoy all the activities. Especially the Wii Bowling and Bingo!! We take lots of trips including a monthly outing to eat. I have made very good friends while living at the Waterford both with staff and neighbors.

I really appreciate the independence I have here. I came from a place where I couldn’t do anything without someone telling me what to do or where to go. This community gives me the freedom to go anywhere and do anything on my own. There are plenty of activities to enjoy—I especially like the exercise classes, even if I’m lazy sometimes and don’t feel like getting up! It still feels good to have the option and the encouragement to stay active. I’ve even made friends with my tablemates, which makes it feel like home. And I’m so glad I don’t have to cook anymore! I’ve shared some food suggestions with the food director, and she has been very receptive and eager to make improvements. It feels great to be heard and to be part of something positive.

My apartment is just great! I don't ever want to move! It's great because of the cleaning done to it and maintenance to fix anything. Even removing plants for me from off the patio at the end of the year! The opportunity to talk with people at breakfast happy hour, and events that go on is the best. We have covered parking and that is really nice. Drive in drive out, and you don't have to think! It's kept very clean. Shopping right next door, so that is huge I lived at another facility left, I love it here.

Everything is 1st class. They put the patients 1st as far as health and activities. They always make sure they are engaged. If not they are making sure they get assistance in whatever way needed. And they keep us informed immediately on any issues.

I’m originally from Chicago, but when they decided to build a 21-story building in my neighborhood, my family and I ended up moving to Covert, Michigan. After my husband passed, my daughter wanted me to move closer to her, so I relocated again, and I’m glad I did. From what I can see, this community is very well planned, and most of the residents really enjoy living here. The services they offer aren’t something you find just anywhere. The staff are incredibly accommodating, the food is good (and you can always ask for more), and the service overall is excellent. I especially appreciate not having to cook anymore! What matters most here is the sense of safety. After living alone, it’s comforting to feel secure while still being independent. Everyone lives their own life, and you’re still in charge of yourself. You can speak for yourself, ask questions, and know you’ll be heard. They really listen and try to help and accommodate your needs.

The facility is nice.

The Addison is the next best thing to being in my own home. The rooms are laid out very efficiently so that I was able to bring my favorite furniture. The huge window makes it bright and my walls are covered in family photos! Very homey. The staff is awesome. I can’t say enough how caring and loving and friendly they are. They know everyone by name and they make me feel special. We had been he exactly 1 year when my husband died, and I’m not exaggerating to say that everyone on the staff and most of the residents came to my room to hug me and cry with me. Our activities directors are awesome! There is always something to do! I don’t join many things (books and tv are my favorite), but sometimes the adorable [name removed] will come drag me out for some entertainment(singers, bands, pianists) and I have a blast. The staff dresses up and decorates for EVERYTHING!! lol. And our food?? This is not hospital food. This is restaurant quality food. DELICIOUS! Our chef is so good!!! I love it here!

I would say 5 for all categories. My mother is extremely happy there. She continually tells me I picked a great place for her. It is very clean. the employees are extremely nice and attentive. There are lots of activities for the residents.

The facilities are great, the staff efficient and friendly and the food usually good. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. We visited several facilities before choosing West Shores and we have never regretted our choice. From the beginning it has truly been our home.

Staff is truly concerned for all residents. They seek input from residents on a variety of topics. Something for everyone to do from chair exercise to bingo to corn hole! There is a true sense of community here. The apartments vary in size. I have a 2bed, 2bath. There are 1 bd, 1bath. Sone kitchens are very small and some bigger. I think a person must see availability while on a tour. Sizes to fit your needs.

I couldn't ask for a better place for my patent to live. Staff is friendly, helpful and always have a smile. Each day there are all kinds of activities to be involved in. When my mom passed away last year my dad had a community of people to rally around him. He has enjoyed eating meals with friends and happy hour. There is always someone to talk to or just say hi.

I feel very fortunate to be here, I think the meals are great and there sure are a lot of things going on. It's great that so many activities are offered. The staff makes a big effort to help in many ways and does a really great job at that. I feel like I'm on vacation!
