Sonida Senior Living

I had a pleasant tour of this community. I toured it for my mother, and her needs. Everyone was kind, and helpful to my family, and I. The community looked nice, and clean from what I saw. The staff we met answered, and the experience went well. It was not the one for my mother, but we had a good tour of this facility.

We toured a few different communities. This one was nice. The community was very clean and well maintained. The staff seemed friendly and was helpful on the tour. It is located in a central location very near to stores.

This community is leaving me with some major concerns and now I am questioning whether or not I made the right choice. One of the reasons why we chose this place is because of the director of nursing who they have since let go. I am not a fan of the attitude that I receive when I call to check and see if my mother has received a shower I am getting conflicting information from a couple of different people. There is a lack of communication especially when it came to the storm they were very slow in getting us information whether they were evacuated to another location. They have hired a new site director who I have met and she seems nice and professional. The community is clean and well maintained and from what I'm told the food is okay. I was happy to know it is a continuous care property and if mom needed more help I wouldn't have to move her.

Mom knew as soon as she walked into this community that she wasn't going to like it here. There was a hospital sterile odor in the air and that just turned mom completely off. The community was very nice it has just gone through a remodel so everything was new and clean.

Beautiful facility. Good to see diversity among residents and good to see them actively engaged and having a good time. The big push is for a shared room to help keep the costs down. This is not appealing for my situation. Basic prices are raised by exorbitant add-ons. With a minimum add-on of $800/ mo., the cost of a shared room is only $20 cheaper than a studio at the Atrium. And these are supposedly special offers that must be decided on quickly or they disappear.

This is an older community and they have made some renovations to it. The people I met were nice and knowledgable. The community did look clean. We did not think this community was the right fit for my loved one.

My mom is enjoying everything here except the food she says it is not good. She has settled in well and doing fine. She is going to the activities and social hours they offer. We have found it to the clean and nice community. The staff is friendly and kind very helpful.

It is extremely sad when your loved ones personal things keep disappearing and no one can explain why. I have had to replace 3 pillows that disappear off my husband wheelchair and the staff can't give me a straight answer as to where they go. I have had to track down my husband hearing aides because they too disappeared. I feel that right now that they are extremely under staffed which tends to bring not so pleasant attitudes. They could offer more activities instead of putting the residents in the dining hall area and letting them sleep in the wheelchairs. The food seems good however the portions are much too large. The facility itself is clean and doesn't have an odor to it like most places. it's smaller and more personable or that is the way it should be.

I've been looking for a community for my mom since last October and I was speaking with the sales director, [Removed], for about a year. We toured the community a few times with mom and we even tried the food, which was fantastic. My mom was not ready to commit to moving in but [Removed] was very patient and always thought about us. She even brought over a meal to my mom's house. She was very kind and sweet. Recently, mom had some minor set backs and is ready for the move. However, when I call the Wellington to check their availability, they told me that [Removed] is no longer there and I was treated and spoken to very rudely. We are considering are second option instead.

I had a tour set up and when I went to the community I saw that they were too dark and I had a feeling that it wasn't a fit. The darkness stood out to me. It was a good tour and they gave me good information about the community.

So far my observance is that caregivers are helpful & seem to care for the residents most times...I can see that their stress/frustration level is high & some are not as patient as they should be with residents with memory issues. My Mom has a tough road ahead here....this is just the beginning of a long relationship/journey for her. My family & I will continue to be present everyday to ensure she is being cared for & not ignored. We will see what the future holds.

My mother has recently moved into this community and so far things are going well for her. The staff are always very polite and accommodate her needs at the best of there ability. They a have a lovely activity program that she likes to participate from time to time with the other residents to keep her busy. The only thing that she says could use some improvement is the meals they serve. She is not happy about them at all and hopes to see some change in the kitchen soon.

rent was 2500-2700 but care was about a grand on top of that did not take medicare

Expensive.Assisted Living services extra. Not for us.

We doing ok since moving into the community. Since it is close to home it I feel better and like the area.

While Vista Springs was a nice facility and the rooms were nice, we didn't get the same feeling here that the process was about the family or the future resident. This was off putting. It is also on the higher end of the price range.

My father is doing well since his move, he is still adjusting. He likes the meals that are served there, but they do not have a good variety of activities like I was hoping for. The place is kept up well and housekeeping keeps my father's apartment clean.

People were fabulous, not the cleanest of places, rooms need maintenance before moving in.

They have a lot of turnover with the staff at his community. The staff that have been there a long time are really good. The new nurse is sweet. The director and I do not always see eye to eye. They told us they had transportation for people in wheelchairs, however I found out later they do not. They do offer daily activities.The food is good, unfortunately they do not offer a lot of fruits and vegetables. I would recommend this community.

It has been a work in progress for my mother since her move to this community. Things have gotten better now overall. It was a ruff start at first, but they have picked up a lot of the slack. This is community is working out well for my mother, and her needs so far.
