Spectrum Retirement

We waited a while before moving my mother to a community because we wanted to find the right fit for her.My mother really likes it here and loves the staff. She enjoys the staff because they treat her very sweet and they are always willing to help. The food is great and they offer good activities at the community center. This is really an excellent community and I would recommend it.

I love all the renovations that are being done at the Homestead, the refreshing was needed and I hope it continues! I love the people who work there and the atmosphere of hominess you see in the furnishings. However, my family member has been there for a number of years and I feel the quality of the food and the number of activities have declined. And continue to be curtailed all the time. With the prices, these people pay to live here, it shouldn't be a budget problem They used to have fun things in the evenings and now the alternative is to go to your room or just watch a movie. That feeling of comradery experienced before seems to be waning. Now many of these special events such as the winter ball or the wonderful buffets are gone Although, it is an independent living facility, extra care is provided for those who are declining either mentally or physically on an a la carte basis with a partnership between The Homestead and the Home care entity located within the premises. This extra care is priceless.

My father stay at Mountain Park was a good experience. There was good and bad things about this community for us, the staff was wonderful I just didn't enjoy the fact that the turn over rate of the staff was high. I would get use to one staff member then all of a sudden they were gone and my father and I did not like this. They do offer wonderful activities at this community for the residents here, and that was very important for my father with his condition. He loved participating in the activities with the other residents. They are great with the upkeep of the grounds of the community. I feel that they should pay more attention to the private rooms and tend them more often. The one thing that I wanted from the staff was for them to be hands on with my father and they informed me that they were not the type of community so that was a disappointing factor for me. Overall, A Place For Mom was great. I had no clue where to go look when I had to start considering options for my father, and they guided me throughout the whole process. I would say anyone thinking about senior living call A Place For Mom they will do all they can to help you.

So far so good. Maintenance is good. No complaints so far. The parking could be a little easier. The billing has been pretty smooth. Maybe there could be a few more activities in the memory care area.

Crestview is a pretty decent place. The staff is nice and they seem to really care about the well being of the residents. The facility is clean and it seems well kept. So far, we are getting settled in and have not had any major issues.

Things are going fine. It's a good place. So far, we do not have any complaints about the facility or the staff there. So far, we have had a pretty good experience at Peakview and we are getting settled in nicely.

It's been fine. My mom has gotten pretty well settled in here. It's clean and the staff is friendly. We haven't had any major concerns so far.

This is a nice place with nice décor. The staff is friendly and helpful. There have been some communication issues with the staff and the family, but we think it is resolved now. They are nice, but could use improvement.

No openings currently. Apartments are NOT furnished, rentals are on a month to month basis. Pet friendly. Studios and 1BR units with kitchenette - 3 sizes each. Monthly rent ranges from [removed] to [removed] plus ala carte services. Rent includes utilities, housekeeping, 2 loads of laundry per week, cable TV (not phone), 3 meals daily

HighPointe Assisted Living is a very nice facility, but the staff members there, especially the administration department, is not very responsive to the family needs. I would rate it four - stars overall.

At Gardens at Ocotillo Senior Living their assessments for intake were pretty good. Specifically with my mothers case she was border line between assisted and memory care. We put her in assisted living initially but quickly decided she needed to go to memory care. The staff were flexible and willing to work with us. I really appreciated that.

My loved one's toilet backed up yesterday after hours and there was no one there to do it, the care is not twenty-fours hour at Crestview Senior Living, so I had to go up there and do it all myself.

good facility, activities and food,,,attentive staff

It's a new place, clean and very nice looking. Friendly staff, nice residents. The food in the dining rooms is mediocre institutional. A bit of a disappointment for a place that is so good in other respects. One staff member changed my father's catheter bag, but didn't attach the new bag properly, so after he left my father leaked urine all over the carpet.

I took a tour of Homestead while looking for a place for my mother that is closer to where I live. She is currently in a retirement community on the east coast. There are a lot of positives about Homestead including the friendliness of the staff, the intimate size and family-like feel to the place, and the available activities. Since I only have one other place to compare it to at this point, my only real concern is that it seems a bit pricey. For an equivalent, if not a bit cheaper price, my mother's current unit is significantly larger and has more of an apartment feel to it with separate rooms. Upon reflection, I also decided that the 3-meal-a-day setup at Homestead may not be the best fit for her. She currently can choose from 1, 2 or 3 meals a day and when she goes out to eat or eats in her apartment, the meals she misses carry over to the next month. I feel that she would be "wasting" a lot of her meals under the 3-meal-a-day plan. Back to the positives, it appears that Homestead is a very caring place and that they work very hard to provide the assistance needed for seniors to live comfortably in their own places.

My aunt has been a Crestview resident for 5 years now & is very happy there. She has a lovely 2 bedroom apartment with stove, microwave, refrigerator & dishwasher and a nice patio. She participates in many activities & has made lots of new friends there.

This was our first experience with independent senior living. Its a little pricey. Food was fair to good. Staff was always caring and helpful. Sandy always made activities fun.

I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. The facility was new looking, well kept, and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional. However, my loved one was a bit beyond the level of care they provide here. It is definitely worth a look for those looking into assisted living, however!

Unfortunately we didn't get to stay long, but we loved the place.

Beautiful facility. AS we arrived, the bus was leaving for an outing. We did not see many residents in the facility while we were there. We ate lunch in the dining room alone. There were a handful of residents eating sandwiches in the Café next door. It turns out that the meal plan (2 meals a day) includes breakfast and either lunch or dinner (but not both), though you can purchase them. My impression is that this lovely facility is perfect for fairly active adults who are able to take advantage of the numerous outings.
