Stellar Senior Living

The is a lovely community and our tour went very well. The community looks great, everything is very well-maintained. The staff was very friendly and answered all my questions. The resident appeared to be very happy and friendly. They do offer activities through out the week. We didn't get a chance to try the food, but what we saw looked great. The tour was very helpful.

It's a pretty nice facility. They have pretty nice people here, and so far we are getting along pretty nicely. I haven't really been here long enough or had enough experience to say what could be improved or done better. So far they are doing pretty good.

The services at Brookdale Heritage Palmeras seem to be cheapening as time goes on. They have made some changes in regard to the menu and it has not all been for the good. The nursing staff seem to be nice and helpful,however the administrative staff are horrid. My mom is happy since moving in and even with the minor issues I would still recommend this community.

Moving my mother into Vintage Park was by far one of the hardest things I've had to do. Mom definitely did not want to go but she needs the care and couldn't get it at home. Vintage Park employees have definitely made it easier by being very understanding and compassionate. Since she's moved in we are still able to pick her up to spend time with the family when she is not participating in activities. Mom likes the food and even though she would rather be home, she is getting the care she needs.

We have been very happy with Brookdale so far. The only issue we had so far was addressed right away when we brought it up. I think they deserve a positive score.

I will tell you that Villa de San Antonio has been acceptable so far, but it has only been 7 weeks and not enough time was given before review requested.

The staff at The Gardens of Scottsdale have been fantastic. It has been an easy transition for my father-in-law. He seems happy with the food also.

I moved both of my parents to Thunderbird Senior Living. They are doing well there, not too bad. It's been good but not great. It has been a positive experience and I probably would recommend this community in the future. The food is probably one things that is a lower rate, a 3. Our expectations for the community were a little higher but that is unerderstandable. It is a nice place.

Our experience with Pacifica Senior Living was a short one due to the fact my aunt was a flight risk and kept leaving, but other than that the place was wonderful. The grounds are really beautiful and very clean. The food is great the staff was great as well. I would recommend this community to the right family as long as your loved one isn't a flight risk this place is a great fit for the right individual.

It's been fine. Everything is working out pretty well. We haven't had any major complaints so far. They do pretty well with communication and letting us know if anything comes up.

They did well in getting my loved one set up and transitioned into the facility. They were very friendly and on the ball with getting everything done. They need to improve on hiring people who have experience, especially in the memory care unit.

This facility is undergoing some renovations. The staff is very nice and they seem to really care about the residents. The food here is pretty good too.

The staff is very caring and attentive when it comes to the residents needs. The facility is nice and spacious. The food and the food service is okay, but could be better. The level of care here is amazing though!

My friend likes her room, but does not like the long walk to her room. She likes the food. The staff there is very friendly too.

This facility is very spacious and beautiful with lots of amenities and accommodations. The staff is caring, warm and willing to help. The place is clean and well maintained. The residents here are very nice as well.

So far, this seems to be a pretty good place. I am pleased with the staff, the care of the residents, and the activity level. I really do not have any complaints as we have not been here long. There were a couple of small problems at the beginning, but nothing worth mentioning.

My difficult and demanding mother in-law 'Susan' (not her real name) has been a resident for about 1 1/2 years. My father-in-law died, and within a month of his death, it became clear that Susan, having never lived alone in her entire life (not uncommon for this generation), was unable to function alone. Although she initially resisted the idea of living in a senior residential setting, Broadway Proper (BP) has been the right choice for her. Transportation to shopping, doctors, and personal errands is available. Meals are healthy and well-balanced, with the option of either eating all 3 meals in the dining room or choosing 2 meals in the dining room and cooking one in her kitchen apartment. An audiologist and podiatrist visit regularly. Apartments are vacuumed and dusted, bathroom and kitchen cleaned, and trash emptied weekly. Bed linens are changed, with sheets and towels laundered and returned to the apartment weekly. These services are part of the monthly rent. Assisted living is available, too. BP is required to follow a level of care to respond to a resident's self-reporting fall or fainting spell. As with many elderly people who lose a spouse, Susan became reclusive, not eating, and then began concocting schemes to be taken to the emergency room for what she told us was her need for "special attention" such as massages and meals in bed. Other than a minor urinary tract infection, the hospital visits were unnecessary. Now, The BP staff escorts her to her meals so that we can all make sure she consumes the calories she needs. The dining room staff is especially kind and patient with her. Although Susan was fully capable of preparing a light meal and doing her personal laundry, once she discovered that BP also offered the additional laundry service (at an additional fee), she requested the it. She also requested enhanced care to help with twice-weekly showering, hair washing, twice-daily AM/PM dressing, and medications. There is a full service salon onsite haircuts (men and women), perms, dyes, mani/pedis. The grounds are beautiful, with many opportunities for socializing, learning new skills, exercising (wonderful personal trainer!), etc. Beautiful swimming pool and spa, too! Holiday events are celebrated with special activities and meals. The staff continues to be incredibly kind and caring towards Susan during this difficult transition time, although I know she wears their patience quite thin. Although clean and well-kept, Susan's unit appears to be circa 1980s. It is our understanding that apartments are gradually undergoing upgrades with new kitchen cabinets, countertops, bathroom vanities, and fixtures and faucets. BP is a VERY safe, healthy place for Susan to be at in this phase of her life. It is unfortunate that skilled nursing isn't offered, as Susan will eventually need it as she further ages. BP is not a Medicare-funded facility, so be prepared to spend $$$$. Additional meals, laundry, showering, medicine administration, etc. will drive up the costs; however, if your elderly parent doesn't need to rely on these 'extras', this is a reasonably-priced senior complex, especially if they ditch their car that requires insurance and maintenance! BTW - not ONCE have we ever been met with the smell of urine lingering at this facility.

Mom does not like the people at Winslow Court. The residents are too old and mom is in good health, it just doesn't seem to be a good mix. She has really had a hard time adjusting here. The residents are very clicky. She doesn't like the food. The grounds are nice but it is an older establishment. Mom does not like that everyone can come into her apartment at any time. All the staff have a key and I think they need more boundaries. Overall it is a nice facility, it is just not a good fit for mom.

I was impressed with the knowledge and experience and enthusiasm of the staff. I especially like the fact that they had the residents plan the activities. I really like the accommodations they offer between assisted and independent living. I just wish they had a patio door to the outside.

There staff is very friendly and very helpful. I would recommend for anyone moving in to check first because they don't have much help to move in, like they only have one cart and it's not working well. They had a lot of challenges this year, but they worked through them and kept the residents who lived there happy. The extra care you get is above and beyond and I am happy with it.
