Spectrum Retirement

Happy cheerful community.

We moved here for aa clean, well maintained, secure roof over our heads; transportation as needed; and food services. Overall: 4 Star Maintenance: 5 Star Housekeeping: 4 Star Security: 4 Star Transportation: 3 Star Food Services: Dining room: 3 Star Food: 1 Star. (Terrible)

The people we met were nice. This is a beautiful community and the room they showed us was lovely. The room was a little farther away from the dining room than we would have liked. This community seemed to be more for independent residents.

My mother has recently made the move into this community and so far I have no complaints of how things are going for her. She is really enjoying her time there so far and making friends with the other residents. The staff are friendly and I am comfortable with the care she has been provided. She has had no issues with the meals and is starting to get involved in some of the activities they have to offer. Overall it is has been a great fit and I would recommend it to anyone.

The person that took us on tour was friendly. This community looked very nice. They seem to offer some nice amenities. This community just seemed a little to large for our loved one.

This is a beautiful community. My mom had previously lived here, and we had thought of bringing her back after her stay in the hospital, but we needed more of an assisted living community. The staff is very friendly and caring. And it is a very clean and well-maintained community. I would definitely recommend this community!

Everything was really awesome. I'm looking for a place for my mother and she only goes for the best! The only negative was the food, particularly the portion size. The food was tasty but the portions were all wrong. I eat more protein, low fat and low-to-no sugar. I had grilled fish and only received half of a filet. That was not enough. The vegetable and baked potato portions were huge and I could not finish them. They were out of proportion compared to the fish. Otherwise, it was tasty.

I have no complaints about the tour I had received at this community. The building was nicely maintained and everything was very clean which is always a positive to see. I just think this place would be better for my mother if she was looking more into the independent living then the assisted living.

My tour of the Lombard Place Assisted Living went great. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they answered all of the questions I had. The place seemed clean and well maintained. The decision came down to location. Other than that this community was great.

The community overall had an institutional look. It was old and outdated. The layout was not that great. It had a hotel feel to it, long hallways to the rooms. There was a lot of residents and the place seemed a bit crowded, My loved one enjoys her privacy and quiet time and for her, this place was a bit loud. The room they showed us during our tour was redone, new paint and new carpet. The staff were al very friendly and answered all of my questions.

This community was nice, however I fell it was a little pricy for the services offered. The staff I met were nice and the community was clean.

This is a nice facility and there are some good people here. My mother is doing well, but my father has been in the hospital for a while now. It is a good looking facility, everything is pretty well-kept. The staff was very helpful when we needed some extra help. They did care for my parents well. There are nice activities offered for the residents. The food is nice, they enjoyed the meals. Some of the staff and caregivers really cared about my parents. I would recommend it.

Our mom moved into Cedar Lake shortly after it opened. After visiting other facilities, Cedar Lake was our choice for mom. It was clean, brand new and not as large as others. But what truly made our decision was the employees! I have found each of them caring, knowledgeable and sincerely helpful. I love how they know each residence name and any time I go to visit they know exactly where mom is. Our Mom is happy and you know when Mom is happy everyone is happy !

My husband is doing pretty well here at HIghPointe some things are better than others. It is a nice looking community never had any concerns with that. The meals are okay some meals are better then others. It has been an okay experience so far the staff has been kind and helpful to us with everything. This is a community that I would recommend to family and friends.

Rated care services lower than what I probably should have, but there is a problem with providing some service that was promised.

The activities they offered when my mom first moved it was more entertaining things and now it is shopping.

We toured here as we were looking for options. They were one of our "back up" places. They were okay, they looked good, and they would work, but we had a different first choice in mind.

Extremely clean, lovely community. I have considered Palmilla for my parents and still do. At the moment they can still manage on their own but when the time comes. Palmilla heads the list. I know the Director of nursing Patricia from her days at a another community and trust her completely. Care staff really do care and always have a friendly smile.

Caring kind staff.very attentive to residents & families needs. Trish director of nursing always available to address our concerns. Michelle greets everyone with a smile. Great food

I didn't like that one because it's very institutional looking. It’s like a hospital. It’s very grim and it's just looked like nobody was happy in there. I might have got them at a bad time but I just wasn't prepared to see that. That’s more severe care. That’s what a real nursing home is. It looked clean and everything but I guess it’s probably not Southview’s fault. It’s more my problem. Actually, that’s probably exactly the kind of place we need soon. I was just not prepared to see that. I am going to revisit Southview, now that I am thinking about it and now that I’m more accepting of what's happening with my mom. I need to go and look at it with new eyes.
