Sonida Senior Living

My mom has been at Cedar Lake since it opened almost two years ago. She was very reluctant to make the move. However in a very short period of time her mind and her strength both improved. She is constantly stimulated as she is encouraged to participant in the many activities. She feels that this is her home. The staff has been amazing in so many areas. I always want to compliment the front desk, the activities directors, the nursing staff and the aides. I'm very glad that we chose to place my mom in "The Lake House" as we fondly call Cedar Lake.

I think it's very good. It's clean, I like it very much. They could use more staffing. They have some activities, but they could use some more variety in it, arts and crafts more often. She doesn't complain about the food. We chose it based on location, and how clean and friendly the staff was. I really like it because I think they really care about the people.

Our experience with The Jefferson has been a very positive one, overall! The facility itself is clean and well kept, and they are also pet-friendly, allowing cats or dogs. The staff and even the other residents have all been very friendly and welcoming! I've been particularly impressed with the dining service! The meals are served restaurant style, where you order from a menu and everyone's food is brought out at once. The food is excellent! The on-staff chef usually comes out after meals to serve coffee and talk with the residents. I also like that they've got two sets of managers, so that they're able to have management on-site almost all the time. I highly recommend the place!

Unsure of what to expect in the beginning but have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of help and support my Mother has received from the staff. Facility is clean, smells great all the time and offers several activities. Mom is currently in 'Respite' there while she recovers from bruising from a fall but we're hoping she makes friends and wants to stay on when she's feeling better and after home health releases her. The food is good and Mom has tried food she's never had before. The other residents have been welcoming as well. My ONLY critisim is there are no doors directly from the apartments to the courtyards making pet companionship difficult for those who have issues getting around using a mobility device (walker, rollator). Pets are welcome though so that's a definite PLUS.

Overall I am pleased with the care my mother receives. Although an attractive community, some areas are due for a makeover. Perhaps long term capital plan with new owners could include the refresh of dining rooms and public restrooms. Staff is very attentive and patient with residents. Many staff members have been there for several years. The activities are plentiful, i just wish arts and crafts was offered more often.

Oakwood Hills offers the full range of care that my Dad may require as he ages, all at a very reasonable price. Although he has not moved in yet, everyone there has been most helpful as we prepare to move my Dad from Florida to Eau Claire, Wisconsin. If there is anything I need help with in preparation for the move, the staff is very quick to offer options and help. We are excited to get this done and have Dad close by.

Selecting a place for a loved one is a difficult thing to do. John [removed] at Waterford and Christine [removed] were exceptional. They were most informative, welcoming and answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. Although this facility is not a brand new facility, the staff was friendly and the environment was pleasant........so much so that the decision was made for Waterford to be "home". The food is excellent. The rooms are larger than other places and kept very clean. The 'system' works. It's not The Plaza-NY, but most who live in an assisted living facility aren't looking for the Plaza-NY. They are looking for quality care with people who care...a second family. With Waterford, we think we have found that.

This community is a great place and my sister is doing pretty good so far there. I' really happy she being taken care I am not displease at all with our choice. The people are super nice and friendly to us and all the residents. They have a lot of resource's for the residents to use like transportation to and from places, I m trying to get my sister to utilize the resources they have available here. She is getting everything she needs here and they come in and clean her room once a week for her and they also have a chef for the food. She is only 56 and there is other residents her age so she had made some new friends as well. I would recommend this community to anybody I would just say to anybody is just make sure you really check into everything you would need. A Place For Mom really helped me out with everything.

My father was my mother's main care giver. When he passed away suddenly -- we needed to quickly find a place for mom. We had toured 1 other assisted living facility, when we walked into Renaissance it became very apparent this was a place we would be comfortable with moving our mother into. Her apartment is spacious, clean and well appointed. The aids are friendly and caring. The common areas are very home like. Visitors are required to sign in when they arrive and the facility is secured at night. Mom is happy and has adjusted very well. Our entire family is happy with Renaissance!

Not only is Summit Place a beautiful place, but the staff treats you like family. The staff is very attentive, caring and helpful. There are plenty of activities here for the residents and the food is actually pretty decent.

I had to move both of my parents at the same time from Pennsylvania to Maryland. Both were diagnosed with dementia. My mother being more severe. The first day there my mother did not respond well and was not able to stay. However, the staff assisted me in finding an appropriate facility for her to receive the type of care she needed immediately. Within three weeks, my mother was able to return to Tranquility and is loving her new "home". During her three weeks away the staff of Tranquility paid special attention to my father so that he felt at home and kept him busy so he wouldn't miss my mother so much. They are both very happy there. They love all of the staff workers and especially love their meals. My mother has responded well to their great environment and exceptional care. The staff is very patient and kind to my parents and it is a blessing that I have found a place where I know they are safe and cared for everyday.

There are plenty of activities here to keep the residents engaged and having fun. I think that improves quality of life. There is a shuttle that takes the residents to different places. The apartments are very nice and the facility is always spotless. The staff is wonderful too.

Everyone at Summit Place has been great. They are friendly, helpful and great to work with. it is a difficult process to place loved ones in Independent care and memory care. They will help with the process in all ways they can. I would recommend to anyone looking for that special place for loved ones.

Our limited experience so far with Vintage Gardens Assisted Living II (one month) has been exceptional. My mother is content for her situation and is adjusting from leaving her own home. The meals are very good and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We feel she is safe and cared for here. The facility is well appointed with a cheerful atmosphere, but yet peaceful and quiet. We feel fortunate to have this facility available to us.

Friendly people, caring staff, spacious apartments,great service. We are very pleased to be here!

Mom was being discharged from the hospital and we had to move fast. The Shores staff were friendly, helpful and very courteous. Mom has gotten excellent care overall. The place is very clean, there is lots to do and the food is excellent. Mom really likes it there. All the staff have been excellent except for the activities director who told me bluntly that my Mom belonged in memory care. I told her I was having her tested and would let the professionals decide. She was abrupt, judgmental and unfriendly toward us. She is the only staff member who has seemed insensitive to Mom's needs.

Remington Park is a good facility. There is never a odor. There are a lot of staff members changing shifts. Some details get forgotten from staff member to staff member. If you go in and do not dementia you would do just fine. My grandmother does have dementia so she cant stay on top of things on her own. So I have had to remind the staff that her walker needs to be by her bed or she needs her medicine or she needs her sheets changed. I just have to very involved. Julia, the resident care director is just one of the nicest people. She is sweet, loving and calls back any time I call her. When my grandmother came to the facility initially Julia was off for surgical leave and I think it would have made things a lot easier if she was there. She is so on top of thing and so responsive. I think things could have been a lot better. I am so glad to know she is here now. Also they just hired a RN and she is lovely and I think that is going to be just a great addition.

Food good, but more food option choices would be great, Staff very friendly.

Tranquility has been a wonderful place for my Step-Father. He is happy here and I know he is in a safe friendly place. The Senior Advisor I worked with was wonderful in helping me find this place that fit his needs.

My in-laws are satisfied with everything. They did run out of food one time on a weekend, but I haven't heard anything since. It's clean and the staff is pretty friendly. They were pretty comparable to others in the area, for pricing.
