Sonida Senior Living

I was so excited when my mother finally agreed to consider moving to assisted living. This decision was long past due! We toured a total of 4 facilities in the area & Mom was not interested in any of them. "I don't want to sit around & play bingo with old people" she told me. She was overwhelmed by the size of the facilities & worried she would get stuck on an elivator. I was worried she would not get the personalized care I was looking for because the turnover in those places is awful. I had given up & was going to move Mom in with me. Then out of nowhere one of Mom's friends at church suggested we check out The Addison as she herself lived there & loved it. BEST PLACE EVER!!! They have a community dog, goats, chickens & they are even hatching baby emus! My mother could not pack quick enough after learning about the animals they incorperate in thier activities. Such a loving home with caring staff! Thank you for all you do for my mother!

Finding the right memory care for a loved one can be a challenging feat. But Benton House, now the Addison, stood out as one with compassionate care, supportive environment, and safe and clean ambience. And this was confirmed after we admitted my father with Dementia at the Addison after a lot of ups and downs with home care. The staff there is extremely caring and be rest assured that your loved one will be kept clean and comfortable any given day. Engaging activities, excellent communication, and the staff to resident ratio is what keeps it more manageable for the staff to care for the residents at the memory care center at Addison. It has not been that long since my dad has been admitted, but we are very happy with our experience so far. Only one thing I would recommend or feel more safe is when it comes to my dad’s safety. A safety band or some technology that triggers an alarm when a resident falls would be great to help the nurses have more sets of eyes. But all in all, I highly

I toured the Waterford for my mother and was very friendly and residents were doing something and the laughter carried down the hall.

I am a frequent volunteer through two different organizations at Whitley Place. I have worked with the activity director who has one of the biggest hearts I’ve ever seen for this population. This is the kind of place where you’d want your mom or dad to go. The people that work there have a heart, it’s clean and well organized. The residents are happy, cheerful people. Several community organizations come weekly and volunteer with the residence in a variety of ways. They also help out at special events throughout the year.

After visiting several facilities in area decided this to be the best fit for me.

My experience here has been great! The staff is so helpful and friendly. The place is so nice and clean and the food is amazing! I have been living here for 2 years and I have seen a great improvement with every here. I absolutely love it here and I would recommend the Wellington to anyone who’s is looking for a place for their love ones to live

Everything went well with the only exception being that when dad had his assessment we felt that he was assessed at a higher care level than was necessary. The only thing that he received at that higher level of care was having the facility dispense his medication. Within a week of him being there we tried to get them to reduce to a basic level of care. We were told they would reassess him at 30 days. I waited for them to do so and they came back still at the higher level. By this point we felt he could manage his on meds and move to independent care. Which, we were finally able to make a reality by the end of November. We had to provide Dr.'s notes in order to get them to allow him to make the move to independent.

I love living here and being apart of the family. Next to being this is the BEST!

I love it. Everyone is so nice and friendly. I've like having a family.

Short term stay until my mother permanent residence was ready. The Addison family has been absolutely wonderful in providing wonderful care and love to my mother. It has been a wonderful experience and I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate everything the staff has done.

We scheduled a weekend tour and were delighted to find a Holiday Bazaar event happening onsite, even including resident vendors. The atmosphere was so inviting that we stayed after our tour for some hot cocoa :)

I feel welcome. I like to volunteer here, The staff has been really nice.

My mother has been a resident since [date removed]. The staff has been excellent in the transition process.

This facility is bar none the best community for your loved one. My mother has been treated and cared for with compassion, diligence, and the staff is incredibly committed and professional. I will always recommend this community.

Very friendly and welcoming.

We had an excellent experience with every member of the staff that we encountered. People are very helpful professional and caring! Thank you!

[name removed] is made for this position. She shows great care and dignity to her residents. You can see this in the way they react with her. They all just adore her. She takes great care in planning amazing activities and keeping them engaged. The family members can see and feel the quality care of every resident. She typically goes above and beyond for every resident and will personally make sure they are always happy and comfortable. Take great confidence in her care of your loved one.

I like my stay here.

I have been very happy with my experience with The Lodge. We have plenty of activities that keep us busy, and I have made a lot of friends during my time living here. The dining room is a great place to socialize and get to know your neighbors. My apartment is a good size and I'm able to decorate it exactly how I like.

My sister transitioned well into the Shavano park community. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Yes, I recommend this community to others.
