Sonida Senior Living

We still have our good days and bad but overall my Mom's stay in the assisted living at The Waterford has been enjoyable. They are helping her to adapt to her new apartment and have taken the stress of medication management etc... off of my shoulders. She is also experiencing so much more interaction with seniors her own age than she did living by herself and with no car. Because of proximity, I'm able to visit more often and she enjoys seeing me. It is nice to be there as a daughter and not a caretaker...more quality time to look through old pictures, take in a movie or go shopping than before. And at the end of the day, I know she is someplace safe! And pets are accepted so she is extremely happy that her cat could come with her.

Excellent services and best of all Mom love it there. Thanks Leslie with A Place for Mom for suggesting Independence Village of Olde Raleigh. You also did an excellent job. Please mention my name if you decide to pick Independence Village of Olde Raleigh.

I have been very satisfied, and she has been very happy, and is starting to make friends. They keep it very clean, and the staff is friendly. They have a really nice salad bar with nice fresh fruits and vegetables. I like the location. She likes to sit out on the patio. We thought it was beautiful, friendly and easy to work with.

My experience at the Villa Santa Barbara was great! I appreciate everything you guys did for me.

Very impressed with GreenTree at Post Road. One of the top two. Great studio. Friendly staff. Residents seemed very happy.

The Waterford is a beautiful place. Excellent staff to make your love one feel at home.

We are very happy and pleased with our choice. The advisor I talked to was so very helpful and kind and understanding about how my husband and I felt. But my mother-in-law surprised us and has accepted the move very well. Everyone at the Wellington is so very nice. Thank you so much for your help with us finding a place for Mom.

It's been very good. The food is good, she is eating too many desserts, she has so much to choose from, it's hard to pick the healthy options. We chose based on the overall experience, it was very bright and cheery, and friendly, and clean. We knew two people who lived there and their opinion weighed heavily on our decision. They knew everyone by name when we were walking around. We are very happy with them.

Mom lives here and we are extremely pleased with it. She enjoys the meals, cleanliness/Housekeeping, activities, and location. I feel she is in a secure environment with caring people.

They are a great place. It's clean and light and airy, it makes you feel like you want to go there. They have a great big list of entertainment that comes in, and activities. She loves the food. The staff is friendly. This is one of the best we have seen. No steps, no elevators, it's exactly what we needed. We are very happy with it. It was hands down the best of all the ones we looked at.

My Mom has dementia and we realized we needed to find her someplace safe and close to us rather than in her own home. And somewhere who accepted pets! No cat, no Mom. Sorry! After visiting several facilities, we decided on the Assisted Living at The Waterford and my Mom has been here for two months now. It is a little bit of an adjustment especially with the dementia but the staff have helped to make this a smooth transition. The staff and the other residents are so friendly that we felt so welcome from the very start. Mom has her own little apartment with her furnishings. The apartment size is excellent especially when she has been used to their own place and is an excellent value in comparison to other facilities. Mom is busy throughout the week with lots of activities from crafts, puzzles, games to speakers, music and movies. The staff makes sure to call on her to get her out of her apartment and mingling with the other residents. They handle all her needs from housekeeping, laundry, meals and medications. There is a nurse on staff 24/7 which is a comfort and communications with her doctor are taken care of by them now when there is a problem. It is such a joy now to visit (and more often since she is closer) as her daughter and not as her care taker. We have had so many wonderful quality visits to just talk and laugh about life. Looking forward to much more quality time with Mom and less stress for our families.

Fantastic!! This residence is just perfect. It's safe, clean and very welcoming. I had a great tour and Barb Fleischmann spent over an hour talking to me about the facility and answering questions. I would have no problem moving my mom to the residence at a future date. At this time, I would still need to have them assess my mom to make sure they could take her and we'd have to get her on a waiting list. As we aren't in need right now my next steps would be getting my dad to allow them to come to the house and do an assessment and then, if they would take her I'd get her on the waiting list.

Susan Goff and her staff were awesome during the tour of Elmcroft--helpful to the max. This facility has some wonderful benefits - close knit, best patient to caregiver ratio, new computer monitoring of medications to be given, patient care tasks to be done, etc. for CNAs and nursing staff. Susan, director, especially is very personable and knowledgeable of a multitude of services and resources to help when placing special needs persons. This group of caregivers does everything in their power to maintain the dignity of their patients. Love that!

It has only been 2 weeks since my mother-in-law has moved. She has been very active participating in a lot of the activities that Green Tree offers. The facility is very clean, the staff is very friendly. She is receiving PT/OT, there are washing machines/dryers down the hall from her. Everything is pretty convenient.

My Mom was able to live at Waterford for about a year. I have nothing but good things to say about Waterford. The dining room staff are exceptional. Jane was an absolute favorite of my Mom. They always took time to get food items for my Mom to eat that they knew she liked. Food was not very good for about two months there but then they brought on a Chef and from there on out it was excellent. Front desk staff extremely helpful and in my opinion went over and above to answer any questions. Have to give a shout out to the maintenance man there also. He always took the time out to talk to my Mom and was always a happy smiley person. Apartments are nice sized.

This location is first on my list, however, David is being a little difficult right now. I hope to get him to agree to a second visit next month.

This was my favorite. If I lived closer to it it would be my #1 choice.

We toured the facility this past Sunday (20th) and was delighted and very impressed with all the amenities & with Shawna! Certainly a place we'd like to place our Mother, however, there's a waiting list of 14 presently.

This is an impressive facility and remains on our list.

My dad has never said he liked a community until this one. It’s done a lot for my dad – he was depressed when we put him over there, but he’s much better now, being very happy. He says the food is good. He likes being around people his own age rather than in the all ages community he had been in.
