Sonida Senior Living

This was my first time in this situation and having to look for a community. This was a good community and a good tour and the community was nice. I just had to find something that fit in my loved ones budget.

We are very happy here. The staff are very friendly, and the community is in a good location. We would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. All meals are included in the monthly fee. They also have laundry service and housekeeping available.. There is a washer and dryer in the unit or you also have them in the building to use. The food is pretty good. Speakers, musical programs, field trips, games, cocktail hour, monthly celebrations, and more are some of the activities for the residents to choose from. They have transportation for the residents to use for doctor appointments.

We do think our loved one is happy there, we like the smaller scale of the community and the staff have been super friendly. She seems to enjoy the meals every time we speak with her and they offer good activities. They have different varieties of apartment sizes which is great and based on our experience so far with The Residence of Chardon community we would recommend them to others

This is a very friendly community. They are very willing to help at this community when asked and I am very satisfied with the services that we are receiving for my loved one. The staff seem to be well versed in what they do and they do it well. I have seen activities like bingo and crafts and more for the residents to do to stay busy in the community.

This community was good but too far away for my loved one. Also they did not do transport to doctors and that is why we had to decline this community.

Our family had an in person tour and the facility itself was very nice and the lady who took us on the tour was very informative and helpful. However if we remember correctly the memory care unit was separate from the rest and we knew if our loved one had to move to that side we would want them to still be in a stimulating environment.

Our family had an in person tour and it was just a little to expensive for us and they only served one meal a day.

For where she is at, I would recommend it. This is the only one my loved one liked after looking at others in the area.

Being out of state we do not get to visit much, but when we speak to our loved ones there they are happy. They say it is a safe environment and even with being far away we do not have to worry

The core staff of nurses are friendly to Dad and our family, ask questions, and pass along their concerns when the need arises. They provide tailored one-on-one care as required, and treat residents with dignity and respect. The individual rooms are cleaned/tidied on a regular basis and pods have been updated with new flooring, decorations and highlight a specific activity center. Group dining and a posted daily schedule provide socialization opportunities for the residents and guests, too. The outdoor garden is a pleasant place to sit and visit during warmer months. In addition, the facility is conveniently located near restaurants and shopping - many are less than 10 minutes away.

It's reasonably priced and clean. The people here are really nice. It's a overall good place for my father so far. The meals provide a few options at lunch or dinner. You can have the meals delivered to your room or you can pick them up and take them back to your room with you if you want. Or you can stay in the dining area. If he is resting, they bring him his food to his room so he has it when he wakes up.

Based on our tour, it seemed like a nice place. But we didn't really see any residents up and about. They were all in their rooms with the doors shut except a couple of ladies doing a craft. We were there right after lunch, so maybe it was naptime. But not seeing residents around made me feel a little leary.

this community was not as nice and light and bright, you were either overlooking garages or other things that were not scenic. my loved one needed a scenic view and this community just did not have it. Just seemed to be very dark

Our family had an in person tour and we were very impressed with the staff there and we liked the smaller scale of it. It did feel like a very caring community and they did have a lot of activities. However it is an older facility, there were doing some remodeling so the rooms were not as nice and the residents did not seem to be on the same level as our mother.

The meals have been being served in the resident's rooms. The meals are served 5-6, and it can be difficult to find spots in the dining room. There is one elevator in the community, and the residents do have to get down to the dining room early to make sure they can find a spot at a table. This is great for independent living. They don't have 24 hour nursing or medical staffing for the residents. The only time the medical staff is available is during the day, and then they have an on call team. The manager, [name removed], is fantastic and has been extremely helpful. The community is doing their best with the pandemic and staff turnover. Overall, I have been fairly pleased with what they have been able to do.

Some of the things that were offered upfront I have not seen. We were told 2 snacks a day I have not seen that yet. The other is activities. I have not seen one yet. My loved one says the food is terrible.

This community was okay but my mother is a smoker and this was not really an environment where my loved one would be able to comfortably smoke. They gave me a lot of info and answered all questions that I had while touring this community.

My loved one likes it. I wish I had made this move 3 or 4 years ago. Within 30 days of moving there she gets her hair done, she is in the dining room smiling and enjoying life. A complete turn around from the place she had been to before. They have quicker follow up and contacted us back within 15 minutes when we were inquiring about services. The only negative is the phone system needs some attendance. Messages get lost after I leave them regarding appointments, etc.
