Sunshine Retirement Living LLC

Clean but showing signs of age. Evidence of rust and water damage. No 24 hr security. Staff assistance not available 24/7. Does not offer easy transition to assisted living and memory care.

The staff that we toured with seemed happy. The rest of the staff seemed stressed. During the tour I notice some of the residents sitting around not engaged and they did not seem happy. The community seemed clean.

My dad says the people are friendly. The place is clean. He likes the food. He really needs more social contact. Several of the activities have been canceled. Many activities are just up to other seniors. Days he gets to play cards he is happy. When there are not activities he wants to leave. He loves to hike, walk, play cards , he is very fit physically with short term memory issues.

The staff I met during my tour were nice. This is a clean older community that I think could use some updating. Everything was fine with this community. This community does allow pets.

The prices are pretty good here, but you must arrange for any care yourself. The building is 30 years old and is showing wear. It would be helpful to have a full upgrade.

This place seemed to be in transition. Most people we met working there were new. The apartments although older were spacious. Jennifer was very pleasant the residents sweet but the food was so very awful. The price was affordable

Our experience with Dunwoody Pines has been somewhat mixed. In terms of the apartment and facility itself everything is fine. The apartment is a nice size and the place is generally very clean. However, they're going through a change in management and it has made some things difficult. There are still a few things we were promised while signing up that haven't been delivered on, and getting in touch with anyone to get these issues corrected has been difficult. They also really need to work on their dining service. The food is good, but the service is glacial.

It looks like a converted Embassy Suites complete with koi pond. Ed assured me it was built by the same architect as a senior living facility. For my privacy-loving Mom having the living room windows facing the interior is a non-starter. If this isnt a concern the apartments are roomy with a full kitchen. Laundry facilities are located on each floor. Note that there is construction going on behind and next to the facility right now.

The reason I had moved to Quail Lodge was because of the security and as far as that goes it is good. I do feel very safe here. The food there is atrocious though. Very unhealthy; high salt and high fat. The thing that bothers me is that it is in my contract to have to pay for it even though I buy my own food.

Dunwoody pines is a great place to live. There are always activities you can do, the other residents are pretty friendly. The only problem that I would speak of is that it's not such great of a place to work. Residents would hear the employees as their complaints grown. But the main issue with the employment would be a particular manger that began working here earlier this year. He's always the antagonist and causing problems for the employees. I don't know about you but I love living in this community it would be a bonus if the employees loved working here as well.

This assisted living place is brand new and the faculty itself is beautiful! Very modern! But because it is so brand new there isn't any beautiful gardens or landscaping or trees. Seemed very barren on the outside. It was very quiet and not too much activity going on. It was a little depressing due to the fact that you didn't see people out and about. We arrived at about 1:00pm and had hoped to see people in the dining area but there was no one there. They offer many nursing services though and may be a good place for someone who requires a lot of assistance. The apartments are beautiful and modern. But no balconies or patios. Nothing pretty to look at outside.

I do not think there is anything to improve on. It is an old property, the buildings are old. When it rains, some of the water runs under the doors into the unit, and i'm not sure what you could do about that. I moved in there for a while and my apartment did flood. I enjoyed my time there very much though. Everybody was friendly and helpful. They have a lot of things that are helpful to the people who live there.

Did not really meet our requirements for independent living with particular issues being lack of full kitchen in apartments and a shortage of parking for residents or guests (barely grabbed the one open parking space when we visited on a weekday afternoon). Rooms had a bit more of a hotel feel to me. Of the locations I have visited, this one did have the nicest outdoor grounds.

My mother recently moved into Summerfield Estates after a stroke. It was pretty rocky at first, but she seems to have settled into a routine and enjoys the meals and sharing with other senior citizens. Although told by the 24/7 managers that she would at first have meals with the "ambassadors" to help make her feel more comfortable and welcome, this never happened despite my repeated phone calls and direct conversations with the managers. Finally, I realized that the "Sunshine Company" that owns Summerfield evidently trains their staff to smile and nod while saying "Yes, that's what is happening," when it completely is not. Once I accepted that and no longer talk to the managers, things have progressed nicely. However, she has been there 3 weeks, my mother has never once met the activity director and spends her time in her room alone when not at meals.

Yuma doesn't have much to choose from. It is what it is. It's not the best place in the world but it is okay. They have a fair variety of activities but could use more exercise. There is a lot of sitting around. They made promises that they couldn't keep. They promised a discount. I did not get a discount at all. There is only one elevator here with 3 levels. This place seems like a sales car lot that only wants your money.

Most of the staff in the dining room is friendly, and the people that clean your rooms are friendly. There are some exceptions, but most the people there are nice and friendly. There are some definite areas for improvement. For one, the food is horrible. Second, in general the place is just not that clean.

I lived at Desert Rose for several years.

$3450 per month

This place was not bad. Looks like a decent menu. All meals included. She showed me a 1 bedroom unit, 570 sq. ft. for 1899.00. Personal laundering would be extra. One time community fee equal to 1 month rent. Not a bad area. Kind of far from where I live.

Nice, new with many amenities, but too remote and not in a good area for walking.
