Sonida Senior Living

Mom moved into Willow Grove of Sherwood (WGS) [date removed]. We reviewed, visited and received referrals from several of her friends. WGS was her first choice from the day she walked in, even before [name removed] gave us the $[removed] tour, LOL. This facility was bright and cheerful, nothing like the others we'd been to in the immediate area. What I noticed walking around was the people. All were smiling and truly seemed happy, or at least content. I introduced myself and asked them a few questions they all responded with nothing less than positive comments. If I'm being honest there were a few that wished the food was better. New Chef [name removed] has already begun to make some positive changes. Mom has had a few medical emergencies while living at WGS and the entire staff, led by [name removed] and [name removed] performed no less than Outstanding! They continue to exceed all our expectations with loving and caring attitudes. I've lived at WGS for approx. 2 wks, witnessed all the true love, caring and kindness.

Very helpful and friendly staff members at The Waterford at Thousand Oaks! Apartment sizes and amenities offered for residents are adequate.

I have toured this community and love each resident. Joyful, clearly can tell they are happy to be here. [name removed] and [name removed] are always welcoming. Plus, yum to the hand pies. Also, activities were poppin!!! We seen frisbee golf going on with Kingston and paradigm. Outstanding!

What we like the most about The Waterford is the people and the environment of the community. They are very nice and personable. When there was an issue they always reached out to us. When our parents were sick in the hospital they called every week to check on them. Very considerate!!

I chose The Waterford at Fitchburg because it was a better fit for my parents across the board, assisted and independent living. They could have cats, they could stay together, etc. It is a really nice place, they are unlikely to be able to account for really high need patients

Facility is very clean. Excellent staff. Everyone is friendly & helpful. Great activities every day! Highly recommend.

I was told I would need to move to senior living where I would have additional support. After research and a recommendation from a close friend, we set up a tour at The Lodge. I immediately knew I would be happy there and I was not wrong. Right away, staff and residents made me feel welcomed. Everyone is so friendly. It's a true community. Staff and residents look out for each other. You never feel alone. I appreciate that as it was not always the case before. The Lodge offers their residents support, healthy meals, activities and a clean place to call home. The meals are homemade, healthy and simply delicious. There are exercise classes and equipment, games and activities, ice cream socials and scheduled outings to name a few perks. You can join as many activities as you would like with no pressure. I am now a part of this wonderful community. I have made new friends, tried new foods I may not have before and have enjoyed social activities. I recommend The Lodge without hesitation!

They gave a thorough tour and were very helpful in getting my mom moved from her previous facility. Everything went very smoothly. They have plenty of stimuli and activities for the residents and really treat them with the dignity they deserve.

North pointe was wonderful to my mom and family. The director was amazing and most of all the staff were friendly and ready to help anytime we needed anything! I really am glad they were there for us! Value based on others I saw and have been in is great as well.

My mom moved into Independence Village of East Lansing a couple months ago, and she’s honestly thriving. She’s made friends, stays busy with activities, and even gets involved in stuff going on outside the building. She just seems more like herself—independent, confident, and happy. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her this active and fulfilled. Really glad we made the move.

My mom moved into Independence Village of East Lansing not too long ago, and overall, it's been a really positive experience. She enjoys the concerts and crafts the most—even if she doesn’t always follow along (she can be a little stubborn sometimes!). One of the best things is the group of friends she’s made. She’s kind of the “mother hen” of the bunch, and they all look out for each other—making sure no one misses a meal, an outing, or an appointment. That gives me a lot of peace of mind. The community itself is clean, friendly, and active. Her tablemates were especially helpful in introducing her to everything, and I like that there’s so much she can pick and choose from when it comes to activities. There’s always something going on, and it’s been great to see her involved and social. I’m really glad we chose this place—Mom seems happy, and that means everything.

We recently toured this facility & the Sales Director was so kind & compassionate. We were greeting with a nice “Welcome” to the community sign. Nice touch! This is all very new to us & we had a lot of questions. [name removed] more than answered everything we asked. We felt very welcomed & comfortable. Not pressured in any way. Thank you!

I was recently in the hospital and inpatient physical therapy. While I was away from The Waterford, [name removed], the Executive Director, took the extra time to check in on my health and even came to visit me at rehab. You will not find this happening in most assisted living communities. When I returned home after rehab, I was amazed at all the friends I had made that missed me while I was gone. I felt so loved. Great place to live where people really care.

Moving my mom to The Waterford at Shavano Park, [date removed], was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Believe me, we checked out so many places that I would not want to leave my mom. The Waterford is such a warm and welcoming community which you notice the second you walk in the door! [name removed], the Executive Director, and the staff are very knowledgeable and you can tell they love their residents. Right off, I noticed the great smell of the place and that the caring staff knew the residents’ names. My mom’s room is so big, roomy, and cheerful. She loves the good food which is served restaurant style in the dining room. Activities are plentiful, creative, and appeal to the many interests of the residents. I’m not sure what she loves most: being taken on the bus to shop and eat, bingo with prizes, or Friday happy hour. Plus there is a wonderful entertaining event for every holiday and occasion. Folks are friendly here! It’s a great place to be!

After touring several places, even looking at places on our own, this was the best place by far. It had everything plus some that my Grandma was looking for and she absolutely loves living there. She wishes she would have done it sooner.

Mom is happy. She is still on the lowest level of care. She likes to help take care of others!! Although Mom is not on the memory care side of the facility, it definitely rated above others. We also like that this is not a very large residential living facility and the memory care side is very similar to the residential living side. This way once she is accustomed to the residential side And inevitably moves to the memory care side, we hope there is recognition. Everyone is super nice and really seems to enjoy Mom. This is a big blessing for us too.

Family member really likes it there. She enjoys all of the activities and the little parties they have for them to celebrate the holidays. Most of staff is great. A few could use a little work on their attitude but overall everyone is great.

I highly recommend this assisted living facility for my friend, and when we tour, she fell in love with this community from my experience the staff are friendliness, and the staff is amazing, and she enjoyed live there. and the customer service is great.

The Staff and Management team is awesome, the place is clean and smell amazing. I would recommend 100% The care and passion shown by the staff every day is inspiring. I am grateful my family member was there

My mother was living independently in an apartment, but gradually her ability to perform daily activities declined. She was hospitalized briefly, and we were fortunate to have a lady help us with finding a living facility. She functioned almost like a helpful realtor, matching us with a location that matched our needs. After we toured four different facilities, we decided on the Waterford. They were nice enough to give us a tour, and also a return visit where we were able to have lunch with the residents. The grounds are very well kept, the location is very peaceful. The building itself is bright and the lobby is open and airy. Overall, we’ve been very happy with the entire staff, including the leadership, activities director, and all of the technicians. They try their best to get to know all of the residents on a very personal level, and can accommodate their specific needs, whether they be physical or emotional. It feels very safe, and very welcoming.
