Sunshine Retirement Living LLC

It was a virtual visit. I did like the place, but I need to see it in person before I can give it a higher rating.

Staff is friendly and competent. Food service is adequate. Dining room provides an opportunity for some social interaction. Room sizes vary depending on price. I have a one-bedroom with small fenced yard for my dog. (My sons installed the fence.)

Staff is awesome and very helpful. Facility is very clean. Food per my Mom is lackluster, space is small but it's just her. There has not been a floor buddy to show her around like we thought there would be, store outings seem to be limited. Overall a good experience.

Mom has a good relationship with the nurses and caregivers. She's also met the people in food services and enjoys the variety of meals. She especially enjoys being able to order from a menu if she doesn't care for the scheduled entrée. Medications are distributed by the nurses and they strictly follow the dosage / frequencies. This is something I no longer have to worry about. Mom has utilized the salon for both hair and nails and enjoys the experience. The Verandah provides a numbers of scheduled activities that mom has yet to participate in. Those that do participate, seem pleased with the activity.

My husband was admitted to Windsor Heights with severe mobility issues following a hospital stay. He has made great progress with the assistance of physiotherapy and occupational therapy since his admission. The staff has been caring and friendly and he has enjoyed the morning activities and dining experience. He has a spacious room where he can entertain visitors although there are other very nice spaces to sit with friends and family. He has been quite relaxed here and staff have taken good care of all his needs.

Overall the staff is great. My biggest issue is with communication with a resident in memory care. The facility prefers their residents not to have a cell phone but reaching a resident without one is very difficult. Food is nutritious but not very warm but the time the plate reaches the table.

Food is good but there has been some difficulty retaining waitstaff in the dining room, leading to increased wait time for service. Good variety of activities including recreational, entertainment, and in-house religious services. Tons of storage in one bedroom apartment and plenty large enough for a couple.

1 bedroom is high dollar, but it could be less for a 2 bedroom. The staff is courteous. I would recommend this community to others - it is an elderly group.

The staff here is like family. best servers, maintenance etc. the people all together make it a big family. everybody cares.

Friendly, helpful staff. Friendly neighbors. Terrific chef.

Las Brisas is the best I can do for the money. I'm not into activities like Bingo & cards. The apartments are priced according to size. So I have a little studio. Weekly cleaning is included. Laundry is not included. Outside caregivers that charge you directly are available. I do my own laundry, and we can use without charge. One negative is that we only have one elevator and 4 floors.

Very good place to retire

It's a lot to get used to if you previously were totally independent because there is a lot to learn and lots of rules about what you can and can't do. There is a van to transport to places WITHIN the county or it's Uber. This van does not have a wheelchair lift and if you cannot manage the step to the level of the seats, basically you cannot take advantage of the van.

Cleanliness - Individual rooms and residents are very clean, but carpets and upholster furniture in public spaces are often soiled. Quality of care - Care planning is excellent, but follow thru is sometimes lacking. However, as a focus of improvement, it has been getting better. Meals - with excellent attention to special diet. Activities - Scheduling is excellent, but execution is often lacking. Value for cost - No nickel and diming.

What we like the most about the community is that it is an affordable, active community. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families based on the experience so far.

I visited several assisted living facilities in my area prior to choosing Magnolia. While not the nicest facility, what did impress me the most was interaction I witnessed between the staff and residents. They really provide a lot of love and care to the residents. On the facility side, this place could us some help. It has some general wear and tear. And maintenance items that go unrepaired.

Overall I don't think I could find any better place.

The only bad thing was that the menu for vegetarians is very limited. Everything else is A+. I think the 1br apartments have ample space. The location is across the street from a large shopping mall and restaurants. Banks and pharmacies are nearby.

They struggle with transportation and food services. It does have a good family feel.

Las Brisas is a very nice senior living community. The location is great. The rooms are very nice also with most all of them having either a deck or patio area. The floors, halls and common areas are all kept up really nicely. The ownership has just changed and they are supposedly going to have meals all day by ordering instead of just the normal 3x a day in the dining room, which will be nice for residents that do not eat on a normal schedule. The cleaning service for the resident’s rooms needs improvement, they are not always there on the scheduled day and sometimes when they do show up they do not do a really good job. Overall I’m very pleased with the facility and comfortable knowing my father is well taken care of.
