Sonida Senior Living

The biggest issue is the food. My children worked at Amberleigh when they were in high school. They were properly dressed and trained. There were 2 menu items every night plus alternate choices. Now the menu consists of lots of pasta, ground beef and chicken legs. The dining room runs out of things. Sometimes coffee and milk! There are several stores a stone's throw away. The food budget has been cut. The cook has to make do with what they have. My mom says it's getting better. She is an eternal optimist! She says the people ( residents) are what makes the place great. Also her apartment is lovely!

Mom has not been this happy in decades. She has met lots of friends, enjoys most of the scheduled and random activities especially concerts, and is so relieved as am I to have therapy for her various physical issues at hand throughout the week.

We moved here after looking into several places. It was a perfectly sized apt for our neeeds, plus they allow pets! 3 meals a day are included, and light housekeeping is provided. There are plenty opportunities to get involved in all kinds of fun! We liked the location as we are close to family! It is easy to reach everything one needs nearby! The one downside is our street, Glenview Dr., is under msssive construction! Noise and dust are sometimes an issue, but bearable? There is a "store," beauty salon, private dining area, several common areas, a physical therapist, a parlor, large fron and back porch seating areas! An Activities Director is onsite, along with a nurse! We have much less "work" to do than living in and maintaining a house, so much more relaxed time is appreciated! I heartily recommend the Wellington for anyone looking to downsize and relax with new friends!

My parent really needed this, and it has been a very great experience. They need to get some better food though. The kitchen staff is great, but the food that they have to work with is not. I love the activities the have.

Clean facility from thevmoment you walk in the door. Friendly residents and staff. The facility is well maintained and the food is good. Overall, good experience with the staff at movein and the residents seem friendly and active.

The staff is great, however they are short staffed and overworked. There is a high degree of staff turnover, which is very concerning. The meals seems to be inconsistent. My mom likes some of the meals but says the "hot" meals are often cold by the time they are served. My mom is taking advantage of and enjoying the wide variety of activities. The activities coordinators are wonderful. It's a nice apartment rather than simply a single room, which makes it very homey and comfortable. The transportation to medical appointments is a big help and the driver (name removed) is wonderful.

Excellent

We were pleased with maintenance. We had some problems and within 24 hours they fixed everything. All the workers have been friendly and helpful. The people who work in the dining area... The ladies who clean our apartments, the men and women who "run the show" are all excellent.

Nice and home feeling roomy.

Friendly staff and easy to get a long with. Sometimes I question the laundry.

My father has been at this facility for almost 2 months. [name removed], [name removed]and [name removed]have been wonderful and a huge asset during this transition. They have been patient, understanding and kind to my dad. It puts my mind at ease knowing he's being well taken care of. There has been some recent turnover so I don't know the names of the new aides but I do know [name removed]. She's kind, friendly and always has a smile on her face.

We moved from our private residence on lakefront property to a 2 bedroom apartment here at the Waterford in Mesquite. Everyone from staff to other residents are very nice and helpful. I love that it's all inclusive. However, we do grocery shop for snacks and to replace meals we don't care for. I do miss having at least a small kitchen. So make sure you consider that when your making your decision. It's a very quiet senior facility. They have many planned activities you can join in on. I can't think of anything negative to tell you about living here. The cafeteria is nice. It's very clean, and the food is better than we expected it would be. We have a tiny kitchenette with a small sink, refrigerator & microwave. Thats the extent of our kitchen. We have a large wrap around balcony. Closets could be bigger. Each floor has 2 washers & 2 dryers. We haven't had any issues using them when it's laundry time. Come on by & check it out. Maybe we'll be neighbors!! See ya there!!

When Mom was there she had problems sometimes with getting the nursing staff to get back to her or to listen to her in regards to her concerns. In regards to the administration, Mom would sometimes complain that they didn't inform her on changes in fees or things like that. I don't know if staff and administration has changed since the company changed hands.

I'm happy and learning to walk again

I'm very happy here

One suggestion or concern, what to do in a power outage or tornado, there have a been a couple of them this year. Would have thought there would be a generator to at least Power the phones. I don't know how cost compares to others at this point, but i do value the service. Wish there was a pool table. We would recommend this community to others based on the experience we have had

My father-in-law is meeting new people and getting the chance to do things. The residents can be as active as they choose to be. He was at home by himself for the last 5 years. He is slowly adjusting and everyone is encouraging him to do more.
