Sonida Senior Living

I have been thoroughly impressed with the food at Independence Village of East Lansing. Not only is it nutritious, but it's also well-presented and tasty! What has truly surprised me, however, is the cooperation and care of the staff members. They put in an incredible amount of effort and dedication into their work, and it shows. Since moving here, I have become even more independent and have been more independent than when I lived at home. The staff and residents have made me feel welcome and included, and I truly feel like I belong here. Within the first couple of days of my arrival, everyone knew my name!

I came a long way from Iowa and I never thought I would leave Iowa. I moved to be closer to my son and his family. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming here! I am slowly but surely learning names, slower than I would like but I am getting there! I love my tablemates and they have helped me get involved. I have only been locked out of my apartment 3x so far, but the front desk was kind enough to help each time.

The complex is warm and welcoming. The apartments are beautifully layer out and maintained. The staff is very kind and helpful. The meals are delicious and I love the way that they wait on the residents like a restaurant!

The Lodge is clean and the grounds are beautiful! The other residents are friendly and kind. Staff is great and always willing to help. The amenities here are generous. Food is good. Lots of great entertainment with activities that are fun and interesting.

Willow Grove surpasses anything that I have ever seen. Staff is great. Food is great. Likes the fact of having a private room.

I arrived unannounced to visit my mom in the memory care wing. That particular day, one of the residents was having a hard time emotionally (as is typical with memory care). Calmly and gently the caring staff stood with the resident and reassured them. They were so patient and kind! None of the staff was stressed or anxious. They very kindly re-directed the resident. When I walked, no one was embarrassed, just kindness, like it was a normal thing to be kind to all people. I knew I had my mother at the right place.

My mother moved here from out of state. She has had a very positive experience. The people and staff are very friends and have made her feel at home. She loves her new apartment.

I am enjoying my apartment! It is set up for me perfectly for me. I have a beautiful view! I am happy with this location. Convenient to everything I need. Plenty of activities for me to participate in. Lots of fun! The staff here is great and so friendly!

Staff is very helpful residents are easy to know. Great activities. Rides to cafes, grocery store. Retail shops and special events.

Friendliness, Cleanliness.

While searching for an assisted living/memory care facility for our loved one, we visited The Waterford. [name removed] did a great job of explaining the services and accommodations at Waterford and allowed us multiple opportunities to visit the facility. She helped arrange an assessment for our loved one so that we could be assured of the services that would be received. Sadly, our loved one was not able to make it Waterford, but we knew that if he had, he would have been well cared for by folks who are empathetic and compassionate. The facility exuded a peaceful atmosphere where we saw residents being engaged and treated with respect. Knowing that these decisions are very difficult for families, [name removed] and the team at Waterford did a great job of making us feel comfortable and re-assured of the care they provide.

I am treated with respect and courtesy.

Been a very pleasant arrival experience. Been here 2 weeks and 4 days. I love my apartment and the staff is very helpful and diligent to details. All are very friendly.

We were impressed with LaurelHurst on our first visit. [name removed] has been a great source of help and information during the process. Her experience in helping families with this process is invaluable. We love the apartment the helpful staff. The amenities all of it! Thank you for being in Columbus.

I was only temporarily at Waterford at Baytown due to surgery and was only there for two weeks. During the time I was there, I can say everyone there was very nice to me. I was very comfortable and relaxed.

I had a wonderful experience touring Whispering Pines Village with [name removed] the Marketing/ Sales Director. I was met at the door by the front desk receptionist who helped me sigh in. She was very pleasant and helpful. I witnessed a few residents enjoying a morning conversation with each other in the lobby. They seemed very happy as they were also listing to their own music via a speaker with Alexa. The home was clean and the rooms were very well planned for accommodating the needs of an elderly parent. I appreciate the time [name removed] spent with me answering many questions. It is not easy looking for the best place for an aging parent and she made it a pleasant experience. I would recommend this establishment for sure! Thank you [name removed]

Caring and sharing. I have been a resident here for going on 3 years. The staff is willing to share their time with me and are very caring when I’m comes to my well being. I enjoy the meals that are cooked for me. Overall I think this is a great place to live!!

Waterford at College Station was everything it advertised itself to be! After going online to see the local options for our mother's care, all the siblings quickly agreed on this choice being the right one to care for our Mom. From our first visit, [name removed] was a wealth of information-she told us what we could expect in the facility, the different rooms available, and the daily activities offered to the residents. She noted Mom's activities for daily living would be incorporated into her care plan-she wanted to know about our Mom's daily habits, her likes/dislikes, routines and preferences. While moving your parent somewhere is usually met with skepticism-we had absolute faith and trust in Waterford & [name removed]!

[name removed] was very gracious and well informed. She answered all of the questions knowledgeable. Definitely aware of resident physical abilities. She was charismatic and respectful.
