Stellar Senior Living

Overall, my experience at Thunderbird has been really good. The staff has been very helpful and accommodating, particularly the general manager. The food is good. I think they have a good chef here, and I feel that things have even improved since I moved in. They have a lot of activities here, and they create a brochure each month to keep everyone informed about what is going on. I especially appreciate that they have dancing here. It's a great way to get acquainted with the other residents here. I do have to park a distance away from the building, and I have had some other small issues here, but I think they are working to fix them. I would still recommend this community to others.

While looking for a place for my father, this location was recommended to me. They have nice people on their staff team. Their personnel overall is very good, fantastic even. The only thing that I didn’t like was their layout. It seemed too closed in. Their dining room is really dinky, very narrow hallways, and cramped setting. People who use walkers and wheelchairs need more space to move around so it would be more ideal to have larger hallways.

We went on a tour here and it was good. The staff was nice and helpful. They answered all of our questions. The rooms were on the smaller side and this is for my mom and dad. It was a nice and clean community just a little on the expensive side.

I toured here and even paid the deposit but by the end, the facility couldn’t provide the type of care that my Mom needed. They said they didn’t have the staff to manage someone that was wheelchair bound and they wanted more independent and mobile residents. I really wish they would've been more upfront with me because they knew from the beginning the level of care my Mom would've needed and it felt like we were strung along longer than we should've been. There wasn’t much interaction between the staff and residents from what I could see. It looked like they were more on their own. It was a beautiful building, it was big and clean, but there was limited space for memory care residents and they just didn’t seem to want to take care of someone that wasn’t very independent.

I toured here. It was nice, it’s a 2 story facility, and one of their big selling points is that you can eat any time of day you want but it didn’t seem great because most people need more of a set structure. It was a nice facility and they had a lot of amenities to provide. They have a gym available, though I don’t think that’s something that my mom would ever use. Other than that, I think they provide the same activities that a lot of other places do like crafts, movie nights, and sometimes entertainers will come in and play music for the residents. In the end, the decision really boiled down to the price and the fact that they had a waiting list so we went to a different community

I toured here when looking for a place for my dad. From what I saw, they’re very nice. It feels more like a home than an institution. When I was visiting, they were in the middle of a remodel so I didn’t get a great picture of what it would look like once it was done. The staff was very nice, the residents seemed very happy, and location wise it’s very close distance Belmar's shopping area so people can get out and walk to restaurants, shops and a Whole Foods. They sent us home with some homemade bread and olive oil and it was delicious. The price is on the higher end and it was more difficult for me to get there from my house, which is why we ultimately wound up going somewhere else, but it was in our top two favorite places.

The Oaks was nice, the residents all seemed to be enjoying what they were doing. Some were playing cards, coloring in the memory care unit. The assisted living section had a nice clean smell, although the memory care unit smelled of urine. That bothered me. [Removed] was professional and thorough. I did like the option of having my mother's current caregiver able to still care for my mom. That's the first time I had heard of that. I will share the info with my brother.

My father-in-law is at this community and he really likes it and settling right in. I only have one request for the caregivers or staff to always call me first before they do anything for him, and they are working on that. They come in and clean and do his laundry. The food is good and he has a choice of the main meal or a variety of other things to order. The staff is nice and caring. Once he makes more friends he will join in on the activities. It has a real nice courtyard area with 4 fireplaces which dad loves. I would recommend this to my friends and family.

We toured Broadway while looking for living options for my mother-in-law. My wife and I really liked Broadway, and we appreciated that they had several levels of care that my mother-in-law would be able to move into as her needs progress. However, my mother-in-law found it to be too large and too institutional for her tastes. She wanted something more comfortable, and because the decision is really hers, we ultimately chose another community.

I think the activities are great – [Removed] and [Removed] do an outstanding job.

While it's impossible to know for sure until our loved one has spent time there, we were impressed with everything we saw and heard at Orchard Park. [Removed] was very thorough and knowledgeable and all the people we came in contact with seemed to be caring people.

This community is nice and clean. The staff was helpful when I asked questions. The ground were nice and they had nice activities. We didn't choose this one due to the distance, to far for us.

Very pleasant, they have been making some major renovations, really has made a huge difference.

I liked this community when I visited. The people I met were nice. This community allows pets and they seem to offer some nice activities. This community was farther away than what I was looking for.

This was a nice tour that we had for the care of mom. I like the staff who were able to show us the community. I was not to please with the cleanliness at the time of the tour that may have been taken care of. The menu was appealing of the healthy variety. The activities are offered to the residents who are able to participate. I would suggest that families tour the community for the care of a loved one.

My mother in law is so happy being here. I think it was the best choice we made for her. Being out of state we didn't have much to do with the search but her caretaker had taken her on tours and this community was the best fit. She loves everything about the community. My mother in law loves the food says it is very good. She is making tons of friends and is going on bus tours when offered. We would highly recommend this community.

I toured this community for the options of care for my mom.The staff seemed to be nice and they were helpful. The community has a nice menu and activities. We did not want a community that appeared to be dark and we were not happy with the environment. Families might want to see this community for the options of care

I went to see and tour the community for my friends. In my experience they were all courteous and polite. There were incentives for moving in but the choice was up to my friends and they felt this was not the best fit.

We really liked this community. It has recently within the last year been renovated and they did a good job. The community looks great clean and up to date especially the inside. The staff is very nice and informative. However compared to others we have toured the pricing was a little higher than what we had seen.

My dear friend has recently made the move into this community and so far things have been going well for her. The staff made the transition easy and I am comfortable with the quality of care that she has been receiving. She has had no complaints about the meals and is making the best of her time there so far. Overall it has been a perfect fit and we are very happy with the outcome.
