Spring Arbor Senior Living

Very impressive..staff friendly and informative. Patients seem happy and productive. Clean, odor-free (newly opened), homey. Gazebo and safe "outside" area for patients. Good security. All staff (hands-on as well as cleaning) trained with some ALZ classes.

Brand new property, very nice sized rooms, 1 to 5 ratio as compared to states requirement of 1 to 8. Very nice grounds.

Elite neighborhood. Very close to parents and VA Hospital. Talked to Mgr., price at high end, I really like this facility and find it the most favorable in Tampa so far. They are sending us a brochure. This facility is amazing. We will definitely visit there the next time we fly to Tampa. My parents and sister plan to go with us for the visit.

I think it's a hard transition, both for the person with dementia as well as their family members. It's very emotional and difficult and just takes time. You need to stay on top of things and communicate often with the staff when getting started. They've been open to phone calls and provide valuable guidance. The regular staff is fine, although we had an incident with a travel nurse that has not been followed up on as we requested. But all of the other nurses are fine. The facility is very nice and presentable, and it doesn't smell.

Mom seems to likes the food. Overall, the staff is good and caring. The rooms could use more updating. It would be nice if mom could have more outings, in which she can interact and be more independent.

This community was very nice and it reminded me of a ski lodge in Colorado. There was a waitlist due to the community have a small population.

It's one of the nicest places around. They're very caring. The aides and nurses are very good. Initially we had some learning curves, but we're past those now, and they're doing a very good job taking care of my loved one. They also allowed me to put a camera in her room, which was nice. Not because I was concerned about the care, but more so I could see how she's doing daily. She also tends to be picky about food and socializing, and she's partaking of both of those things at Dominion.

We chose Spring Arbor because it was all on one level which was important to us since she would be using a wheelchair or walker. Then when we met the administrator and the head nurse, we just really liked the way they communicated. The room size is great, she has the smallest one which is a studio and for her it is more than adequate. We always say that a facility can only be as good as their lowest level employee, I think if they were paid more, some of the aids would care more and that is for any facility, not just this one. Overall I would absolutely recommend to other families who are looking.

I advise families of patients with dementia to carefully keep track of dentures and hearing aids and things like that. Because Spring Arbor is not doing a good job of that for us. And that could be our expectation vs their expectation. But it's still very frustrating. It's a new facility, and they need to do more training and education. The director and management are good. But some of the daily staff don't talk to the patients properly in our experience. I understand that dementia patients can be difficult, but they need to continue to do more training. Overall the facility overall is very clean and nice.

Great community, was a little too large for us.

We chose Spring Arbor because my mother lived in several different facilities so I had some comparisons and I also had recommendations from some of my friends. They have companion suites, but each resident has their own room and then they share a bathroom. I do think they could update some of their activities and that is something that I have suggested that to them and they really listened and some changes have already been made. I have been very pleased with our experience and would recommend them to others looking.

This is a great place. They keep all the residents in the same unit. They have church services on Sunday, they will even let someone from your own church come in. Pam, the nurse is able to be connected to the VA which helps care for my loved one further. The community supplies the bed and furniture without additional cost. They have monthly calendar of activities for the residents.

The Canopy at Boynton Ridge was a brand new place, and it was absolutely beautiful. It seemed to be well run, and my impression very positive. But the price tag was just so high. And It was a little far from our family as well. But other that than, it was a 5/5.

The community is only one floor and the community is smaller. The communication is good and they keep us well informed and up to date. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

The community is allowing us to visit with our friend. This was great to be able to visit again. The staff is wonderful, they are friendly and respond quickly to any questions I have about my friend.

We chose Spring Arbor of Greenville because it was nicer and cleaner than the others we had toured at the time. The room sizes here are adequate. I would recommend to others looking.

My parents, both now deceased from natural causes, lived at Anthology in Wheaton. I have nothing but good to say about that community. When you first walk in, you meet the secretaries at the front desk. They know every resident by name and go out of their way to help the residents and converse with them. The nursing staff and care givers treat each resident with care and respect, and are great about keeping family members informed. The kitchen staff and dining room servers are kind and accommodating to the resident diners and their idiosyncrasies, going the extra mile to make the residents smile. The executive director and business manager have been honest and helpful. The activities director is the absolute best! She truly loves each person in her care, and it is amazing to see how she greets each resident and enjoys them for who they are and the history each one of them brings. Before coming to Anthology, my parents lived for four years at a much bigger, fancier retirement facility. There were more activities available at that facility, but it seemed more like a business. Anthology is a smaller, close-knit community that appreciated my parents and honored them. The variety of activities is not as numerous as the larger facility, but there were plenty of programs and activities to keep my outgoing mother happy and busy. Independent home health providers as well as hospice companies have spoken highly of Anthology. The building is clean, it smells good, and is only about three years old. I moved my parents to Anthology due to a need for assisted living care which was unavailable at the other facility. My only regret is that I didn't have my parents move to Anthology sooner.

Mom is adjusting very well at Rosewood Village. She was sitting with her new friends when I went over there to visit. Everyone at the facility is friendly and helpful. It was a great decision to move her there.

My dad lived at Travanse for 16 months before he passed away. Our experience was exceptional with the staff , nurses and leadership . My dad didn’t want to go there at first he wanted to live with one of his children . Like my mom’s parents did with them. However , that wasn’t an option because of the level of care he needed and the fact that all of children worked and traveled a lot. The facility knowing dad was apprehensive about living there went to extremes to make sure he was comfortable and involved in the things he was interested in. Lot of activities throughout the day and week. Place was new , clean and very well maintained. Food was okay , but service staff was outstanding and would go out of their way to fulfill the needs of my dad. If he didn’t want to go downstairs to eat they would bring his food to him. Ensuring he didn’t go to bed without eating. They kept our family aware of any thing that we should be made aware about his health or medical needs. Leadership helped and guided us when was the appropriate time to put him in hospice so his needs were being effectively met. Whenever I brought an issue or opportunity to management’s attention they addressed it quickly . Travanse was a life saver for our family to give us peace of mind that dad was being taken care of in a quality manner when we weren’t able to be there. Plus, we always felt he was safe . He didn’t totally accept living there versus with one of us , but he was accepting of the situation. He also loved the staff . Great facility and staff..

My sister-in-law has been in assisted living at Spring Arbor for 11 months. It has become home for her and she has made friends and feels very comfortable there. The staff is friendly and the care is excellent. They have activities of which she has been a part. She is confined to a wheelchair and the aides are always available for her. I am very pleased with the facilities and the staff.
