Sonida Senior Living

Independent living was fine, but I wasn't too pleased with the assisted living. They just didn't have enough staff. I know that's something that happens everywhere in assisted living. And perhaps my friend just needed more care than they were able to provide. But they tried, and the staff they did have were great.

They are very friendly and accommodating!

The facility was immaculate, modern and bright. The apartments were lovely, airy, well set up, and loved the full kitchen. The tenants were friendly and welcoming, raved about the Wellington. What sold the community was [name removed], warm accommodating, understanding, great sense of humor, wonderful rapport with all residents. She is wellington's greatest asset.

The tour was amazing. The young lady who gave us the tour [name removed] answered all the questions we had before we could ask them. The warmth, compassion and friendliness was felt from start to finish. The staff and other residents were so welcoming. My mom will be there as soon as a apartment becomes available.

We had an excellent tour at Tranquillity. Our tour guide was so nice and helpful, and she introduced us to every staff member we ran across, which was nice. I liked that there were residents out and about. There were some sitting in the lobby, including a woman with a dog in her lap, which was nice to see. We left the decision up to our loved one, and there was nothing of concern here. She just instantly felt at home at a different community.

I had a great experience with Corbin and the whole team they are the best. I have toured many places and love them.

My mom loves the place. It has been a godsend. They have absolutely the best staff ever. They go out of their way to make every person feel special. They encourage each person's strengths, and they help with the things each person struggles with. I couldn't tear my mom away from there if I wanted to. It has become her community. She went there because she was lonely and needed socialization, and she has absolutely thrived being there. Overall she is thrilled with the food. They offer so many fantastic activities - a great variety, well organized - so many that I have to schedule time to talk to Mom around all they have going on. It has absolutely been worth every penny.

I couldn't be happier that my mother in law is living at Amberleigh. The staff is very attentive, caring, and welcoming. The rooms are clean and bright. The food is delicious.

The Wellington at Springfield gives such a wonderful “Home” feeling. The staff are friendly, the activities are fun, and the food is phenomenal. I’ll be sure to send my mom here along with myself when that time come!

Anthology was really inclusive, and the staff was wonderful. Everyone was really nice. My loved ones are still in touch with some of the staff there, which is really sweet. Overall the food was good, although there were some ups and downs. All in all, it was a very nice place with a more modern/sleek look and feel, and very clean. It didn't seem to be as social of a community as others we've experienced, but that could have been due to Covid times. My loved ones miss some of the activities there, for instance they had a great movie theater with the newest movies coming out very quickly. It was just a nice community with very nice accommodations and very nice staff.

[name removed] was so gracious even arranging a private dining room for our taste test of the food which, by the way, was delicious. [name removed], the Activities Director, shared her on-going calendar of events plus we even met the bus driver. My friend is quite impressed with the staff, but was hoping for a washer/dryer and more closets in any units she would consider based on budget. The facility is comfortable including all the residents being so very friendly.

The staff members are a 10 plus here, everyone has just been super. We have only been here since March and yet we would strongly recommend this community to anybody. It is maintenance free living.

I really like the Palmilla facility, it is a newer place which stood out to us. The room sizes are really big and spacious. The meals here are chef prepared and they get to choose off of a menu. Overall I would recommend to other families looking.

Everyone, and I mean everyone is friendly, accommodating, and helpful! They make you feel welcomed and confident that we made the right choice of living facility for my mother.

Moving my parents from Atlanta area to Buffalo had many challenges. My first job was to find a place for them to stay. My dad needed an independent, senior living facility and help taking care of mom. Mom did not really need assisted living, but she might. One place I looked at was ideally located for my brother and I. It was just off our commuting paths. Location ended up being the only real good thing about it. In that place, if both parents were living together in the same apartment, they also needed to have the same level of care. I do not think any reasonably priced senior living facility provides the ability to mix independent and assisted living in the same unit. However, Amberleigh does provide tiered assisted living services. My parents would not have to over pay to have services only one of them needed. Another big plus at Amberleigh is that the second resident in their apartments only pay a modest up charge, the rent is not doubled like it is in other facilities.

Our family was able to have an in person tour and it was exceptional we loved the tour it was amazing. However besides this community we were looking at three others, and the others were about 5-10 minutes away from us and this was closer to 30-35 which isn't the most convenient. However it was our 2nd choice.

We chose Benton House Woodstock because they were in Cherokee county which had less covid restrictions at the time, it is very close to our house, and also we liked that it was smaller. It is on one floor and she was able to get a room that has a door to an outside courtyard. The pricing is all inclusive as well so we know what we will be paying each month. It is more personalized care and everyone knows her by name, we really like that aspect of it. The one complaint she has is the food, they could improve on the quality and sometimes it is served cold. Other than that my mom is very happy here and we would recommend them to others who are looking.

My mother presently lives at Wellington. It has been a wonderful experience for her. My mother for the most part has forgotten how to speak the English language and regressed to her native language which is Portuguese. The staff has done a wonderful job communicating with my mother and making her feel welcomed and safe. She also has a strick diet and again the staff does a great job meeting hers needs. I thank you all in behalf of my mother and for myself for I thank you for the piece of mind knowing she is well taking cared of.

My mom is a resident of this facility and loves it. I am always amazed at what the event coordinator puts together for the residents and sometimes their guests. The Fiesta Party was AWESOME!!! It was so much fun watching the residents in the parade with their decorated canes, walkers & even their SHOES!!! SO FUN. THANK you Cindy for making The Waterford so special. I am grateful my mom has found her new forever home. She is so happy there. Sometimes when we offer to pick her up to spend time with us, she says, "well, let me see what Cindy has planned!" - this makes my heart happy because I KNOW she is happy.

This seems to be an excellent option for us. Clean and friendly. Good choice for independent living.
