SRI Management, LLC

My best advice is for family to stay in contact with your loved one and have a good rapport with staff. The building is fairly new, maybe 2 1/2 yrs. Old so it looks on first impression pretty clean. My dad has been there almost 6mths. and in my opinion they need to clean better. The elevator needs the carpet cleaned and the carpet in the 2nd floor needs vacuuming. I don't think they really clean the room. Looks more like they empty the trash and make the bed and maybe clean up dishes in the sink if there are any. Toilet, sink and shower and floor doesn't look like it gets mopped or swept. (I have cleaning supplies in my dad's room and I will come in and clean when I think it needs a good cleaning.) (Front desk person, [name removed] is great. She talks to the residents and really gets to know them. She helps keep me in communication with the directors and other staff who are much harder to reach.) In person the staff overall are very friendly and are very nice to my dad. (This has been an issue from the beginning) Can't tell if they're short staffed or not trained well enough. My dad moved in potentially in need of more assistance. Since March I've been attempting without any success to have him reevaluated. He is paying for Care Services he is NOT receiving nor for some of the services he doesn't need or they no longer provide. Communication with facility and resident directors are very difficult. I've tried to speak in person, by phone, by email, and text and almost in every instance I don't receive any response.) (THIS IS MY BIGGEST ISSUE WITH THE CANOPY. POOR COMMUNICATION.) An evaluation is done on the resident prior to or at time of moving in to determine care services and the total number from the evaluation determines care service costs. Residents/family need to go over these services very carefully. More staff is in the memory care side of the building. Assisted living side always seems to be short staffed. Need more dedicated staffing on assisted living side so residents aren't waiting so long before caregiver responds. Staff are friendly when I do get to speak with them, but overall communication and responsiveness to issues needs a lot of work. They use to have a chef but he left. Now they just have cooks so my dad says they don't make the same kind of meals they use too. Supposedly they microwave a lot of the food. The dining attendants are very nice to my dad and he says they make him a very good breakfast everyday and give him plenty of food. [name removed], person in charge of entertainment and activities does a great job. She's always bringing in entertainers. My dad enjoys the ice cream socials they have three times a week. They have a large van that takes the residents to the grocery store, out to lunch, special away activities like going to Parksdale Farms for strawberry shortcake and to the movies on occasion. This is a little difficult to determine. This is the only assisted living facility my dad has been in. They were the best priced placed for the requirements we were looking for. [Name removed], my "A Place For Mom" person, did a great job of helping me find this facility that met all the needs we were looking for, for my dad. She actually called me back later and told me about The Canopy after further research on her part and got me a FaceTime meeting the very same day with the Resident Housing person, [name removed], no longer there. Overall my dad is doing well and he is being assisted when needed in his daily needs. His room is a studio size apartment on the 2nd floor. The bathroom is equipped with handrails, and walk-in shower. The bathroom also has built in cabinets and under sink cabinet space. Room has large closet and plenty of cabinets in the kitchenette area. Kitchen sink can accommodate a wheelchair underneath it. Refrigerator is normal sized. He has a window and can control the temperature in his room. The Canopy has a health care provider who comes once a week. There's also PT services available on sight and they have a visiting Podiatrist. The place is small enough that the residents can get to know one another. It's also small enough so the residents can get around without having too far to walk or get lost with too many twists and turns and buildings to navigate. Everything is in one building. The Canopy has been a good place for my dad's overall health and well being.

Friendly and caring staff. Cleanliness very good.

I really liked Creekside at Three Rivers - it is a very nice looking facility. I came to tour by myself and then brought my friend that we were looking for. She just did not feel as comfortable and welcomed as she did at another facility that we had looked at previously. There was nothing wrong with the facility or staff, it just came down to how she felt.

Everybody is short handed right now and it is hard to keep people working. They are doing the best that they can here under the difficult circumstances of the world right now. Overall I would still recommend Seagrass Village of Port Orange to others looking, I even recommended it to another family members.

Village Veranda is an excellent facility. It basically has end of life capability and Medicaid capability. Only thing I found is when trying to get responses from the people who deal with medications, doctors and transportation can be an issue. For example: right now we're trying to get my loved ones prescription moved over from Walgreens to the Village Veranda system. We filled out all the necessary paperwork and there's been no replies to the emails and calls we've sent - it can be kind of frustrating at times.

We went with Cariad at North Brook mostly because it really had more of a homey feel to it and was not commercialized. It is a smaller facility and the one on one care seemed to be better. The staff has been really friendly and helpful. They respond promptly to emails as well. Sometimes when you talk to them they listen but you can tell they are very busy. Dad does complain about their being a lack of variety on the menu and sometimes the food is served cold so I think they could improve there. Overall I would definitely recommend them to others.

Our loved one is super happy with the activities, she is constantly busy. They have happy hours, trivia nights. Once a week they have live entertainment come in. We would recommend them to other families.

Overall pleased

they were all very friendly and the two directors went above and beyond, they helped us during one of the most difficult times. we accomplished what we went there for, it couldn't have been any better under the unfortunate circumstances. the meals to me were fine, but some of the foods were difficult for my loved one to eat, but when we brought it up to them they took care of it. they catered to her, if she didn't want something they would make her something else in its place, like a sandwich. they do offer transportation to appointments and stores, although we never used that service. they allow pets and smoking is not allowed. they were very responsive to issues that arose while our loved one was there. they would usually greet me with updates about my loved ones day when I walked in to visit. I think that was just a direct result of me being vocal, being there daily, and making sure I knew the director and her daily caretakers. from past experience, I know that you have to be vigilant about taking care of your person and staying on top of things. they have two locations, and the Whipps Mills director was also involved at the other location, so I'm sure they are both ran very well. I would recommend Creekside to others.

Our family had an in person tour and it was a nice experience

We chose Creekside at Three Rivers because they were able to take him in immediately and able to provide a fully furnished apartment for him which was great because he had no furniture at the time. They went above and beyond for my brother and we had no complaints. This was definitely the best fit for him.

The Colonnade is the best place I found in the area. It's in a beautiful location on a lake and has nice outdoor areas. The dining room is right off the kitchen, so the food gets served hot. The staff is quite friendly and accommodating. Just like every place else, they're suffering with employment issues at this time in the current environment, which has presented some challenges with the care. But the good thing is they're making every effort to fix whatever they can fix.

Dad moved to the village in [date removed] because of declining health and inability to care for himself at home. He was quite opposed to the move, and for several weeks fussed continually. But, as his health improved (medication supervision, better sleep, and eating habits that improved) he accepted his "new home" and has been an integral part of the activities there. Now he tells me Ashbrook is home and he tries to assist and encourage the staff and fellow residents. He is always complimentary of all the staff…particularly the head of administration, lead nurse and med distributors...he says they are always working hard and have way too much to do!! Thanks to all the staff for dad's care! Ashbrook is certainly a place I would recommend for an aging loved one. Thank you!

We went with Inspirations of Florence because it was more affordable than some of the other facilities we were looking into. The apartment size he had in assisted living was very good. When he went down to memory care the room size was smaller and he had to share that room with another resident. There was only room for one bed so he slept in a recliner. He was borderline for their care and needed more attention than they were able to provide. They have undergone a change of ownership and the new director sees deficiencies and is going to try and make some changes so we are hopeful.

I just like the woman who gave the tour. The facility is very pretty and on a preserve with a pond. They have a bird abortorium. This place is in our top 2!

They do have a good attitude to work with. It's a really good fit for certain elderly population. Old ladies that love bingo will fit in great. It would not be a good fit for someone who wants more than just bingo and maybe bridge instead. Overall, I think it is a good place.

I would recommend this community for your loved one

We chose Sunflower Springs because it was a newer place, they offered better amenities, and everything was very clean. It is also easy access, some of the places were too big and confusing. We have had several hiccups early on as far as getting things straightened out with medicine care. We did also have some issues with the cleaning services, but it is a staffing issue and they said they are working on it. Overall I would recommend to others

I thought The Colonnade was pretty good overall. They just didn't have as compelling of pricing as another place we looked at.
