Sonida Senior Living

I moved my dad from upstate New York down to the Benton house in Woodstock Georgia to be closer to me. They were great right from the start. They set them up with a one bedroom part fully furnished for 30 days which I had not expected and was stressing about getting him all situated so quickly. The two women who run the place are fantastic (would love to provide their names for recognition was advised no names can be in this review.). They are very helpful and very, very responsive with every request we’ve made. The entire staff is friendly, they keep a close eye on my dad, they do a good job cleaning his room but my is a little bit messy so I wish they would sweep up the crumbs a little bit more often. They wash his clothes weekly and return them nicely folded and he enjoys his meals and camaraderie in the dining room every day. They genuinely seem to care. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone wanting to ensure their loved one as well cared for.

What we like the most about Independence Village is that everyone seems to know each other from the director on down. I know there are many "eyes" on my mom and that is comforting. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families.

Overall a very nice facility. Staff are very nice. Our concern is with activities. There are no activities or very limited activities on the weekends. The residents are bored on weekends. I have found that during the weekly activities, our parent is not being asked to attend it or reminded of what is going on. It would be very helpful if you would remind your residents of the daily happenings. Thank you.

I would just like to start off by thanking this community, they have embraced my grandma since the moment she arrived! The community's friendliness is outmatched! Between the wonderful staff and the kindness of residents, this place has truly helped my grandma feel like home. As soon as she arrived, everyone was greeting her and asking her about her life. I have worked in this industry and I have never gone into such a welcoming and accommodating community. The sales team completely blew my mind with how flexible and attentive they are, Maintenance and Housekeeping have gotten good comments from my grandma (she might have a crush on a maintenance man)!

We're happy to have found Waterford - we feel our mom is well taken care of. My dad passed his 1st night there and staff was a tremendous help and very caring. I've actually eaten there and it's been very good! Generous portions too! The other residents seem happy and are very friendly. So, although my mom haven't been there long - so far - so good! We've met residents who have been there for years!

The staff was incredibly helpful and communicative and I appreciated that no matter what time of day or night I arrived at the facility there was excellent care and attention to the residents

I think everything that has been numbered is true and excellent. Whitley Place has been the best place for my husband and I can't ask for anything better. It sure beats a place he was before.

Staff is very friendly. Residents express a good feeling. Activities Department is fabulous. I enjoy all of the outings. I go to all events that are offered. Some apartments could use a refresh maintenance quickly addresses issues.

The staff are wonderful, caring people. They are very loving and very involved with the residents. The setting is very nice, inside and out. I have been volunteering here for years, and this is the best staff I have seen.

Overall good place to live.

Honestly, I'd rate each category a 5, except the food & the only reason is - a better variety would be better. Also have menu options for diabetics. I've been very impressed with everything else.

The Heritage does a good job taking care of the residents in Independent Living. The staff is attentive. The residents are happy. Socializing is encouraged. The food could be better. The chairs are too large for most of the little old lady resident.

I was attracted to them because of the indoor parking. Availability for assisted living if needed. Washer and dryer in my apartment as well on my floor at no charge. Friendly and well informed staff. Availability of help pendant for wear and throughout my apartment. Just a great place to live I would recommend to others. I visited here several times before making my decision. Know before you visit what you need.

I gave the administration a lower score because my mom has still not received an invoice for apartment after several months living there. My mom is happy there.

I love living here, time are so many things to do everyday, including exercises trivia games, card games and other things to keeps out mind active. Physical therapy is available with your doctors consent on the site at Keystone Woods. Employees' are concerned with the residents and treat each one of us as they would their own family. I feel safe here and loved.

It’s no surprise why Independence Village of East Lansing is ranked high on the list as one of the best places to live! They understand their residents and do everything they can to engage everyone. They are quick to solve any issues and they are all very friendly, too! The only thing I still question is the seating chart for meals, as this limits residents from meeting more people. I also think the more gregarious residents should be told about new residents and encouraged to knock on their doors and help them integrate into all of the activities available to them. As an aside, I wish the apartments had overhead lighting, as it can be very confusing to some on what plug to use to connect a lamp to a light switch. Finally, while the food seems balanced, the kitchen should try and introduce new things periodically to mix it up. All in all, I’m glad I chose IVEL for my loved one; I do think she likes it there; I just want her to meet more residents to develop some new friendships.

Very good, staff is very good. Excellent activities transport for doctor.

This is a wonderful home. Nursing is great!

The nursing staff is very caring and always ready to help. The aids are willing to help at the times. The administration staff are very professional and willing to find the answer if they don't have it which is never. The activity is great. They keep busy as much as possible.

Good place to live , nice staff and residents.
