Sonida Senior Living

My mother is doing well here at this community. She has adjusted well to it, and I'am pleased. The community looks well maintained, they do a good job with keeping the community neat and tidy. They have a very friendly staff, they have been good to work with. There are nice activities offered. She is pleased with the meals. I know she is in good hands. It has been a good experience, and I would recommend this community.

We have had a very good experience thus far at The Waterford. The one area that needs improvement are the lunch meals. For us, there are not many "hot meals." Heather was our representative from "A Place For Mom." She deserves a raise! She was VERY helpful. We were very fortunate to have been paired with her when searching for a place. Everyone at The Waterford is super friendly and helpful. We would recommend The Waterford to others.

The people here seem really good and caring. My loved one has started getting involved with bingo and some other activities they offer. The meals are wonderful and of good portion for the residents. The only thing that I would change would be the communication between the nursing staff and the caretakers. They seem to always be on different pages. I would recommend them to family.

Wish all staff would wear name tags when on duty. Wish more fresh fruit was available, not canned. Aides are great, esp. Lila, Tina, Rachel & Debra, Samantha, Kimberly, LPN is wonderful. Dress code for head nurse & community resource outreach person is inappropriate in this setting. Overall good care, but short staffed on nights. Cynthia is wonderful!

Activities good, Food good choice, nice courtyard, Friendly staff. Things to improve or wish were better. More nutritious snacks not so close to meals. Better attention to bathroom cleanliness (floor sticky / toilet – fully clean). Better communication between shift & staff have to tell all of concerns. Staff pay clear attention to signs of illness. Frustrating that phone not answered more consistently in evening need better phone that will each throughout the building. More fruits & veges – less breading on meats. Suggestions: Quiet background music at dinner. Better TV programs or DVD’s in main areas that interest the elderly.

I used a Place for Mom, kudos to Rachel, to find Woodholme Gardens, After viewing approx 10 other assistant living facilities I desperately turned to a Place for Mom, whom located a hidden jewel for my family. Woodholme Gardens provided a flexible payment plan (introductory offer) to help us move my Uncle in as a resident within 2 weeks. The complex is very clean with zero odors and a valet style set up. The employees are very pleasant to the residents during my weekly visits and all residents are dressed nicely and appear to be well taken care of. My uncle is 93 and in good physical shape, he participates in social events, walks throughout the complex, and outside to get fresh air frequently. Woodholme Gardens is the perfect transition for my Uncle, whom lived independently all his life. Overall we are extremely pleased with Woodholme Gardens.

The staff at this community are very kind and generous. They have had some turnover. My uncle likes the healthy food. They offer a variety of activities. The community is clean. I would recommend this community.

This is a beautiful community and the staff were very friendly. This community works with residents in the early stages of Alzheimers. The residents need to be able to walk a certain amount of steps and if they fell the family was responsible for getting them to the hospital if needed.

The administration and staff at this community are nice and responsive to my questions and concerns. The community is clean and a nice place. This is a good choice of a lower income community. They offer an outdoor patio on the second floor where residents are able to go out and enjoy the day. They have various stations set up that residents can come up to and participate in an activity.

They were a good community after I was able to see it. The place was clean and well kept. The atmosphere seemed to be a 5 and the staff was a 5 too. I heard good reviews from the residents I spoke with. In the end, this was not a good match for our budget.

The staff has been very supportive of our issues, especially since our mom has had a severe acceleration of her memory loss. The facility itself is more like a very nice hotel versus a care center, very clean, homey. They are always very attentive and work very hard at making family members feel understood with what they are dealing with. The one issue, although fairly minor, is the difficulty with the phone system due to the complexity of the facility. I definitely recommend it as an option for your family.

The community could easily be rated a 5 of 5 if the Administrative and clerical staff were able to pay attention to detail. Many times documentation such as resident paperwork and the resident handbook had missing information or wrong information. We have sampled the food offered and it was very good. They offer a variety of activities and residents are encouraged to participate. The housecleaning/laundry staff has been very pleasant and she has done a great job keeping our loved ones room clean.

My tour of this community went very well. It is a nice looking community. From what I saw they do a good job with the cleanliness. The staff I met was friendly and nice. They were informative and answered my questions. It is smaller community compared to others. My tour was good.

Had a good visit at The Jefferson. it meet most of my criteria...nice place. Rejected it because at this time am not interested in meals, nor am I willing to pay the fee for included meals.

Beautiful facility. Several residents said they love it there. Really liked that they offer a 2 bedroom with one bedroom blocked off, resulting in a one bedroom at a significant discount. Drawback is that the resident in one of these may eventually get a roommate for the 2nd bedroom.

This is a lovely community. My tour went very well. The community looks nice and well maintained. The staff was kind and friendly. The only issue was the layout of the community. My mother's room would've been far from the entrance. This is nice community with kind people. Just not the community for my mother.

This is a new community that they are still in the process of staffing. I like the staff they have hired so far and they work well with my husband. The food is excellent. They do not offer any activities in the memory care unit. This is a step down community and they offer activities in the other units. It is nice and clean.

This is a great facility. The staff is wonderful and is always will to help out and make sure that the needs of my mom are taken care of at all times. The food is excellent and a great variety of meals are offered. There are activities offer for those who want to participate and get involved. This is a good value for the excellent care that is given and high recommended to others for good care

My mom has moved in and is trying hard to adjust to her new living environment. She is happy with the food that she receives and the choices are great. Alot of activities to keep her active with others. The staff is excellent and is trying to help her adjust. I would recommend this for others to have great care in a great community.

This community was gorgeous. The administrative person was great and upfront with us about this and other communities. The staff we met were friendly. This community was reasonably priced. This community was on our short list, however they did not offer a memory care unit. The community looked clean during out tour.
