Spectrum Retirement

This is a fantastic place outside of the memory care floor. The memory care area has movies, exercises, treats, and more activities for the residents to participate in. The staff is okay to work with. It has been nice to see the same caregivers to get to know them better.

My mom really liked Lincoln Meadows. The apartment was perfect, except it didn’t have central air. It had a wall unit instead, like they have in hotel rooms. The wall unit was big and noisy, and she didn't want to live with that. It was also a huge place that would have involved lots of walking, which was not ideal for her to get around in her condition at the time. But she liked everything else about it.

The meals and dining service sometimes can be a hit or miss but the activities are great. We love the bistro area where families are always encouraged to come and visit and we can play little games. For the holidays they decorated the facility beautifully. There are two care givers specifically [name removed] and [name removed] who are just outstanding, we have really bonded with them. The entertainment ladies are fantastic and so is the physical therapy team. We do have some issues with the billing team but we do believe they are working it out. The entire staff and community is just very warm and inviting.

Our family was able to have an in person tour and we lived at the time very close to the community, and it was brand new. The community and everything we were able to see was very nice.

We chose Gardens because of the convenient location, the value for the money was pretty good comparing to others in the area, and I liked the layout of the facility. My loved one got a smaller apartment than she was supposed to get which was disappointing. I do think they could improve on the activities provided for residents, they are taking all of the covid precautions but there do not seem to be many things going on. There did seem to be a lot of things going on before covid. My mom loves the food and is really enjoying the meals. Overall I would recommend to others looking.

We had a virtual tour at HighPointe. From what we could see, it looked good. The downside with them was cost.

Our move in and onboarding process went very smooth and we have had a good experience so far. Our first impression of the community is since its newer it is very clean. They have things in place socially for those that are living there, many different activities. Initially when our loved one first moved in the meals and dining service was outstanding, but with the staff turnover that has suffered some.

I was not impressed with the set up of this community and the way that the residents were housed. It looked like a nursing home and I wanted different for my loved one.

We chose Green Oaks because the tour experience was great, we got a good feeling and liked the atmosphere, and the apartments were much roomier than other places that we looked into. It is also more reasonably priced for what you get. She is happy as a clam and is always busy doing activities with her friends. I would definitely recommend them to others.

We chose Dougherty Ferry because it just seemed like the right fit compared to the other facilities that we looked into. They do have some very caring staff members, a couple really stand out to us. There are some hidden things that you find out once you move in such as how medical things are handled and you do have to supply some things yourself.

We had a really good overall experience with the tour. [Name removed] was perfect. [She] was quite knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We believe budget-wise this is not a fit for us. Thanks for the experience.

Overall it's been a really good experience. It's a good price for what you get. The staff are really good. Like any other place right now, they need to hire more people. But that's outside of their control with the current Covid challenges.

My mother has been a resident for about 3 months. I like that they keep the place clean. The accommodations are nice and the staff is responsive to requests. I wish the food was a little healthy. Activity schedule looks robust-not sure if they always occur.

I'm happy here. The people are very friendly. It's very clean, and everybody is very helpful. We have lots of activities to do, and you can choose whatever you want. I love my apartment as well.

He seems very content at Green Oaks. We had a couple of minor issues, one of which was that his apartment is very far away from the elevators so we had to buy him a scooter. Other than that he has been very happy here and I would definitely recommend them.

The overall experience has been good. My wife and I moved here in August 2019. We located here because of the close proximity to health care facilities and two of our children were near by. The staff has always been responsive to our needs and are making a good effort to upgrade in a competitive environment. Overall we feel this is the right place for us.

Park Meadows is very nice. They have a lot of activities provided for the residents. The rooms are small but they are set up nicely so it doesn't feel too tight. They actually accepted my loved one but lost staff the next day so they would not have been able to accommodate the care he needed.

I moved in here (to independent living) knowing that I would be a bit younger than the majority of residents. There ARE some other folks here my age, but I have found it hard to connect with them. With that exception, I am very glad to be here. Feels safe, the entire staff is wonderful.

Due to the lack of available staffing, the service and meals have slipped during the last month and a half. Because of servers and cooks shortage there hasn’t been a selection for meals. The care is good but can be a little off for the residents when temporary or outsourced care isn’t familiar with the routine. Hopefully staffing levels can get back to capacity so the level of service that was exceptional in July returns.

Good Community, just not the right fit for my mom.
