Sonida Senior Living

This place was great, although a little on the more expensive side. Lots of amenities, activities. Nice facility. The residents seemed happy and the staff were attentive. They have a memory care center and a license for end of life treatment (basically, nursing home care), so that your loved one would not need to move again if his or her health needs changed.

My husband of 59 years has advanced Alzheimers and it had reached the point I could no longer safely care for him. However, finding the right place was not easy. He has never liked crowds, and many homes are crowded. I wanted him to have some personal care and the respect this fine man deserved. When I found Elm Croft, it felt right, very clean, not over crowded, people not only cared for, but cared about and much to my surprise, his own room and he could have his own furniture. I was so worried the day to took him, but the minute he saw his favorite chair waiting for him he went to it sat down and smiled. He was A-OK. Yes, when I go to see him, he hardly knows me, but it I see contentment in his eyes, he is clean and well cared for, his room is clean and neat. I had the privilege of eating a meal there and it was delicious, nicely served and food that is easy for the elderly to eat. Yes, it is costing me, but he has taken great care of me for many years, now it my turn to give that care and honor back to him.

I am not here to do an overall rating at this time nor am I here to discuss cost. I'm here to post my experience with [Name removed] . [Name removed] is passionate in her work. Before bringing my dad to Waterford on Cooper she came to my parents home to do an assessment and to speak with my dad about his transition. This visit was all about my dad. She was thorough in understanding his needs and his cognitive state. We were appreciative for her visit. Now that my dad is there she is still as warm and caring from the first day we met her. Her services exceeds expectations. Thank you [Name removed] !

This is the most beautiful place I have visited in Arkansas thanks to the staff of Elmcroft of Maumelle

What a gem! In December I moved in and there is no looking back. My days are filled with fun activities, lots of friends, a loving and life enriching atmosphere. I'm so happy I made Palmilla my home!

I liked the place. Clean, attractive residents engaged. Met w Exec Director who had a ton of good advice. But it is pricey.

Extremely impressed with [name removed] and the staff and residents I met on my tour. All questions answered thoroughly. The Woodlands would be my first choice for my dad. I know he would be well cared for here. Definitely a homey and family type facility.

The aids, nurses and Directors REALLY care about the people. They know them all by name and show genuine concern. My sister was in assisted living for a year then memory care now for 2 years. She's been in/out of hospital 3-4 times and the last time, [name removed], [name removed]and [name removed] visited her at least 3 times to see how she was doing and helped her get back home. [name removed] memory director, meets with me every few months to go over my sister's "plan of care" in detail and the rates have been reduced as my sister's care (mainly less meds) has been reduced which I feel is Above The Line HONESTY. Cedar Lake is always clean and smells good. The aids tell me what they need to take better care of my sister like new shoes, bed pads, more clothes, etc. The activities specialist are AWESOME: they send me pictures of my sister doing crafts and exercises. I go to the Xmas Chorus Concert, Thanksgiving, Xmas, 4th of July parties. All in all I hope they keep going strong forever.

Cedar Lake is a beautiful community with cheerful, helpful staff. The apartments are clean and spacious; they very much seem like home. And all the activities available ... a theater, daily Jeopardy competitions, Bingo, live music ... offer many opportunities to socialize and make new friends. I'm sure Mom will be happy here.

Very nice, clean community. It appears to be everything we are looking for. Is definitely in the running for Mom.

Seems very pleasant and thoughtfully laid out. Would have liked to see the memory care area and forgot to ask.

My mom's been there for over a year. Great place. Front desk has been great. Dir. of nursing has been great. The nursing staff has been on top of things, and call me with any concerns they have over my mom. Meals have been good, and an alternative menu has been a blessing for mom. Remainder of staff have been on top of things. They have done a great job giving me a break on caring for mom.

My mom and stepfather have been residents at Palmilla Independent Living for three years and recently moved into Assisted Living. Unfortunately, mom had a severe stroke shortly after moving. The staff providing care for mom was caring, compassionate and efficient. We found the management staff to be caring and accomodating with us in developing a care plan that would give mom the care that she needed until she passed away. They worked with us as a family and passed good instructions to the staff. This made an unbearable situation a bit better knowing that mom received the best care available in a professional and dignified manner. They continue to provide care for my step-father. Thank you to everyone at Palmilla.

Tour was wonderful. we've chosen Benton House for Mom. Memory Care unit was exactly what we were searching for.

HIGHEST RATING!! Elmcorft of Maumelle has been a wonderful experience for myself and for my mother and for my family that have visited. We like that it is small and that it has lots to offer in the way of activities, outings, socialization, care and management.. We are never turned away when we need to talk, any concerns, question,s or comments are reviewed and addressed promptly. i like that we are considered family and have a very open line of communication with staff. Can not say enough about this place. Simply AMAZING!

Excellent place. Felt very secure with their ability to care for my mom.

We have been getting our parents into a care facility with much resistance from them, but when it became necessary the Beacon provided all the support we could want. They have been so amazing and accommodating to all the silly little demands asked of them, it made it much more workable for us. Now let me say the accommodations are beautiful, the food is outstanding, and the staff from top down is friendly and attentive. When you enter there you would think you were entering a fine hotel, except of course the only guest are aged (but engaged). The home is no longer The Blake,it is now The Beacon at Gulf Breeze.

After 2 visits my daughter and I really felt this was my best option. I paid the move in fee and gave [Removed] my 30 days notice today.

Everything is going great so far with the short amount of time that my love one has been here. She has definitely adjusted well and she is surrounded by smiling faces. Everyone there on staff is nice and welcoming; also with the old ladies there. This location just felt so comfortable and so welcoming when I first walked in. Every resident that I spoke with, with the exception of one, they told me that they all loved it there. I am so happy with them and I absolutely recommend.

We have my father-in-law here and it is wonderful. They have been extremely accommodating to my dad on his billing and moving him into a smaller apartment. They have been very kind. He has a small studio with a patio in the independent living side. He has the 1x weekly cleaning service. They offer an inhome care provider on site if we need that service. The food seems to be good he gets 3 meals a day. They communicate really well with the resident they have things posted and also in their mail cubby hole. They have 2 shuttles that will run them to a doctor or the grocery store. They have a patio in the front and back in the shade. I would recommend this community.
