Sunshine Retirement Living LLC

I toured this facility while looking for a place for my Father. It is an older building that has been turned from a school into an assisted living facility. It was very well kept, however, it just felt uncomfortable and I couldn’t put my finger on it. The location itself wasn’t the best and it was right next to a very busy road. I know my Father wouldn’t be able to walk to the store and he isn’t able to drive. The gentleman who gave us the tour was new but he seemed to be knowledgeable. He knew the answers to all of my questions and he was quite friendly. I would recommend this facility to other families.

My loved one has recently made the move into this property and so far we have no complaints of how things are going for him. The staff where easy to work with and I am comfortable with the quality of care that he had received. His apartment that he moved into is the perfect fit for him and was very clean upon move in. Overall I am happy with how things are going for him and would recommend it to anyone.

This community used to be a hotel and they did a really good job of converting it into a retirement community. They are doing some remodeling. They did a good job of making you feel like you are connected to what is going on at the community. They do seem to offer some nice activities. There are a lot of lights and when you open your door you see the atrium. The rooms are smaller and they do also have a small garden.

My mother is still adjusting but things are fine. I think they need a garden area. It would nice if they had an area where the residents could plant vegetables and flowers. They have the space for it but it isn't set up. She does participate in the other activities they offer . She enjoys the food but breakfast is served too early. She misses it sometimes and has to wait for lunch. If they could extend the time frame when they serve breakfast that would be nice. The staff is very nice, considerate and professional. They remember by name when I visit. The aesthetic of the community is very nice. When we toured my mother liked the community was clean with a friendly staff.

For the price, The Clairmont was the best around. It is way cheaper than any of the other ones that we toured. When you walk in, its an older place but the people, in general, are all very down to earth. It is a positive atmosphere and the rooms were better than other places. In his apartment, he has a part which he really likes. The only thing my loved one does not like is the food. But other than that it has been a good experience.

Mom stayed here for a short visit and she did not like it as much as the location in California. This community did not offer the same amount of activities. The staff were nice and the community was clean.

We recently moved my Mom into Quail Lodge. I like the layout of the community and the coziness of the amenities. I definitely think they could have done a much better job of preparing her apartment for move-in. After moving everything in, my husband and I spent over an hour cleaning cabinets (inside and out), door handles, door jambs, and window sills. Unfortunately we also moved her in while there was a transition of staff. The executive director left the week prior as well as the activities director. I think that IF they get the right team in place it could be one of the better communities in the area. As for the meals and residents, my mother is enjoying her first week and feeling very welcome and at home. So far, so good, she is happy and ultimately that is what counts.

The community is wonderful and just what my loved one was looking for. The only thing that me and my loved one would like to see is that the community offers more variety of activities. Also the dinner time does not work for my loved one. The community only offers one time to eat and it is to early. Would like to see a variety of times. I would recommend this community to my friends and my family.

In the beginning it was very well and the staff were all really nice and friendly, I would rate them 4.5 in the beginning. I haven't seen the new staff but since the change my dad has been seeing a price increase monthly. Meals and activities are provided. They also go on Retirement Field Trips often. It is a clean community which includes my dad's room getting cleaned and a safe place for my dad.

The community is pretty clean and they staff do a good job keeping it clean. We have activities available to try out and that is okay. I eat from the community and the meals taste good but the staff are pretty slow, it takes too long to get my meals. I have no problems overall and it is going good for me.

The Great: People, food and Facility The Good: Layout and Services The Bad: Assessment, Location and Continuity of Care If you are a person looking to place your parents, find a place with Memory and Assisted Care. Long Term Care Insurance does not help pay for Garden Way. If you are an older person looking for a great place to spend retirement years, Garden Way is Great! The staff at Garden Way did great job selling us on the place (an easy sell) but when Mom arrived, it was too loud, overwhelming size and we needed to relocate her within a week. She needed more care than was available at Garden Way. Learn from our mistake!

Madison Meadows is a great choice for senoirs. The staff is outstanding & really show a genuine concern for the residences. Even though it's off a main street it is not a concern. The property is set back far enough & they have security on duty every time I've been there. The food is pretty good & they will make a concession if you are sick, they will bring food to your room. Residence will have plenty to do if they like to be social. Granted the studios are very small I think the point is for it to be as affordable as possible.

A very nice senior living facility. It is very clean and the administrative staff are very friendly and helpful. My mother has been there for just a few months and her apartment is quite nice. The food is very good and the activities program is okay. I recommend Hammond Glen to Seniors that are totally Independent.

The Clairmont was a very pleasant living experience for our loved one. The staff was courteous, professional and helpful at all times.

They don't even have a little cook stove in the units. You really have to want everything done for you. You have to go downstairs if you want anything in a freezer. You have to go to the meals because there is not way to cook meals in your apartment. Capital Place has almost become a nuisance because they keep calling and calling. My sister loves their food. They invite you over to eat when you're looking for a place. That would be a perfect place for her but she can't afford it. It's very convenient to things. That's why I checked into it. It's almost right across almost from the mall.

The grounds are very nice and the facility is very pretty. However, their communication is awful. They have made changes to my mom's care plan without telling me. It is incredibly hard to get a hold of someone there, even in an emergency. Very frustrating. I would find my mom a better community if the higher-quality places weren't so expensive. Also, three of my mother's gold rings were stolen by someone who works there the first week she moved in.

I can tell you I would not move back again. Attitudes of some staff. Corporate dragging feet on issues. Rent going up every year more than COLA increases. They also rented to those beyond normal abilities to care properly for themselves in order to keep quotas up.

Well, since my client is been there which is a little over a year there's a lot of unrest that was going on with different management and people be laid off or people quit so now they under sunshine management, and we are hoping that things will kind of straightened out in communications from the staff to the residence will improve. Transportation to different places is very limited, but the new management is hoping that eventually they will have seven days a week right now. I believe it's only three.

My husband had been in a smaller facility before he went to Magnolia. The care at the smaller place was more personal. They cannot afford the same professional services (on duty nurse and a doctor on call) but the personal care was better. Magnolia is clean and pretty and the food is good but the staff is busy and cannot provide close attention to each patient.

This is a good place for people who are capable of self-reliance. Not the place for those in need of any assistance. You'll get what you pay for here.
