Spectrum Retirement

My mother has been to culinary school in Euorpe, so she appreciates the chef at Rigden, the variety of foods, and the reasonable cost when she treats us to join her at a meal. The staff is attentive and caring. The facility is clean, bright, and cheerful. We visited with a guest musician who was performing there, and he said Rigden us his favorite retirement place to perform because everyone seemed more appreciative and seemed to enjoy themselves.

Palmilla Senior Living has been such a great find for my parents. After researching several facilities in the area, I found this one to be the best for my needs. It's a lovely community with a friendly and warm atmosphere and caring staff. I had arranged for my father to be in the memory care portion of the facility after his dementia reached a level where he could no longer live with my mother. If you are looking for memory care in Albuquerque, this is top notch. I arranged for my mother to be just down the hall from him in the assisted living portion of the community so they could see each other every day. Unfortunately my father got pneumonia shortly after arriving and was in the hospital until he passed a short time later. It was a devastating loss to my entire family, especially to my mother who was now living without her husband of 65 years. My mother still moved in and is getting settled. But here is what blew me away - Palmilla moved my father's monthly fee over to her account since he never really stayed in his room, even though we had his room tied up for several weeks while he was in transit and in the hospital. Who does this kind of thing anymore? This act of kindness and compassion shows more about a business than many of the other categories on this review. It's just the right thing to do and Palmilla did it (without me asking or even expecting it to happen). They are not only a business that has created a wonderful senior living community, they are a business with a heart. Now that's hard to find.

Resident Assistants go above and beyond to care for all residents whether they are in Assistant Living or Memory Care. Residents needs are the utmost importance to the staff.

The reason I came her because I was sick and could not take care of myself. And all of those things were taking care of for me when I came in here. I have meals cooked and served to me. The people who work here are very helpful. The residents are very friendly. Anything you have an interest in, the place has something for you. [name removed] and [name removed] who work in the dining room; we all love them. Cordial environment and anytime I ask for something at the front desk they are very helpful

The entire staff is friendly and they genuinely care about my well being. Everyone who helps to take care of me is wonderful. It can't get any better than better!

I made my 2nd visit and had a delightful lunch with [name removed]. Along our tour, I met several staff members which were very friendly. I also talked to residents, they all had positive comment about their new home. Lunch was good and had many choices of which to pick from. Cherry pie was great! I wish waiting list wasn't so long......maybe corporate needs to expand the facility in Albuquerque. I've only been able to see 1 apartment because everything else was full. I am on the waiting list, but it's a gamble as to when. It's really hard to evaluate because at this point I am not a resident.

The people here are very friendly. They go are out their way to welcome you. It is very clean. The food tastes good, they are getting better on their food program. Some of the activities are very thoughtful.

I like living here. The food is good. It's a very friendly place the residents and staff are all friendly. Transportation is good they take you were you want to go. They have nice entertainment and games.

My husband and I have lived at Green Oaks in Libertyville, IL for several months and we could not be happier with the staff, the facility itself and our good friends that we have made since we have been here. The food is out of this world. The housekeeping staff is professional, meticulous, kind and considerate. The general staff is attentive and always available. I particularly like our Executive Director.

The staff at SouthView Assisted Living are very kind and caring towards the residents. They go above and beyond to make sure their needs are met and that their residents are happy. The facility provides great outings into the community to provide their residents the opportunity to get out with their friends and have fun. We had a great experience at SouthView.

My brothers and I have been very pleased with the assisted living program at Southview. Our mother has responded well to the genuinely caring staff.

Palmilla is fantastic!!! Our aunt lived there for almost 2 years before she passed away. She was in Assisted Living for the first 6 months and then needed to move to the Memory Care section. The staff was very caring and loving. Our aunt was very happy there. When she got sick, and after being in the hospital for several weeks, she went back there for Hospice. They were all wonderful, especially the head nurse at Palmilla. I would recommend them very highly!

Care staff very friendly and caring. Residents look happy and well care for. Very helpful and supportive management. Team work!

Last fall my mother in law moved into Green Oaks and had a smooth transition. [Removed] was very helpful during this process. We appreciated the meals, and numerous activities over the past months. There is some feedback that we feel would help improve the dining experience of the residents. The servers have been very nice but the quality of the food is average and the time to be waited on and then being served is excessive. When we visited the facility in Streamwood we were impressed with the quality of the food. Seems there was a drop off in quality at Green Oaks. Also, we had an experience last month in the evening. We returned to Green Oaks and noticed there was no one attending the front desk. The next day we were told that there was an emergency in the assisted living area and the receptionist had to leave her post to take care of the problem. Need to have a better plan for these situations in the future. Front desk needs to be covered at all times.

My mother has been there for 4 months now and she loves it there. The people are all so friendly and nice, from maintenance to cafeteria, cleaning - the entire staff. Residents are happy, friendly, sociable - she has made many friends. She loves her apartment and the activities. They provide a LOT of entertainment for the residents. It is also secure with 24 hour front staff, cameras, night checks. I do not worry about her safety, I don't worry about her eating (they spoil her). I am very, very pleased.

I was at Park Meadows recently to look for a place for my dad and they are so easy to work with and friendly. The staff is great and very knowledgeable. They seemed to really care about people and go the extra mile to make someone happy. Very impressive. I certainly will move my parent there when it's time and recommend checking out Park Meadows for your loved one.

The Enclave is nothing but a first class community. The staff, the residents, everyone is more than hospitable and professional. The residents work to include and introduce themselves when they see new residents move in. You can ask for a better place to live and be.

The experience is very good and we like the community, we feel made the right decision. Our apartment is large enough for the two of us. They have great amenities and the staff are always helping with extra things like balloons that we needed for an anniversary. We are enjoying the activities and plan to participate in more, we are always busy. Happy Hour is Friday evenings and we have a fun time. The recently had an eclipse party and they keep up on things for us to have fun.

We are extremely pleased with the choice we made for our brother! Crestview Senior Living has made a huge difference in the overall quality of his life! The staff is friendly and always available to fill his needs! He is so happy and is never bored. He has made lots of friends who have made him feel so welcome! Thank you to A Place for Mom for your all of your help in finding this amazing home for our brother!

Our experience with my Dad at Park Meadows met all our expectations, and we felt he was provided excellent services. All the employees and staff were very kind to him and always took very good care of his needs. Thank you for such a satisfying experience.
