Tarantino Properties, Inc

This was a very nice community. It was clean and the people were friendly, and it was really nice. We were tossed up between this one and another one. In the end the other one was a little close to us and made it easier to come and visit our loved one but this was a very nice community.

When looking for a comfortable situation for my mother to move to, the Terrace Willowbrook was our first stop. We were very impressed with the level of concern Cheryl showed in talking to us about what my mother was looking for. The apartment was large and the surroundings very nicely maintained. As we continued our looking, my mother and I both kept comparing the facilities to The Terrace, and kept finding a great disparity. After looking at other facilities, we found them to be smaller -in some cases, without even a kitchen - and more expensive. We settled on The Terrace and Cheryl was a great help in facilitating my mother's move, even to making sure my mother got the exact apartment she'd wanted. So far, we're both very satisfied with the facility. My mother fell just before the move, injuring her ribs. Cheryl made sure she had the car at her disposal to get her to her bank and to help her with a few of the errands necessitated by the move. Then she fell again, and the staff called me to inform me off her situation and again to let me know she was fine and back at her apartment. I don't feel we would've gotten the level of care and concern from any of the other facilities we had visited and we're both looking forward to a long, happy life for my mom there.

I am really glad we picked Northglenn Heights for my mother. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I does take a couple of weeks to get everyone on board and settled in. My mom says the food is exceptionally good. She has never complained about the quality or quantity of food. The residents are all happy and cheerful and nice to talk with. The apartments are spacious and each have their own temperature control. Laundry and cleaning of the apartment are included with the monthly fee. The Cleanliness of the facility is very good. It does not smell like most of the other facilities that I visited. I enjoy walking into the lobby and seeing everyone smiling and having a good time. Picking Northglenn Heights was the best thing for my mother.

No family ever wants to make the decision to place a loved one any place other than their home. I was first impressed with the "apartment" Mom would live in. It had lots of light and fabulous tile floors that look like a wood floor. The rooms are a large size that allows enough space for a bed, dresser, several chairs (including a recliner) and side tables--I even brought in her vertical dollhouse that is about the size of a grandfather clock. They are not called rooms and it was hers to decorate as she wished. I brought in as many of her favorite things as possible so she would feel more like this was her place and not something else. After three hospital stays and two rehabs I wanted to make sure the room "spoke" to her through her cherished belongings. The staff is fabulous. Everyone pitches in no matter what the problem or concern. They have top rate nurses and aides but are still adding new people. So while I adore many of her caregivers, we are still constantly learning about new ones and making sure they know special things about Mom. For our placement, the decision was made to place Mom in the Memory Care Unit as her vascular dementia increased. The staff is very good at reminding her about things she needs to be reminded of daily. Best of all if she wants to sleep until 10 in the morning (and she usually does), they don't push her to get up and dressed. They simply keep her breakfast until she gets up, has help being cleaned up and dressed for the day, and then is walked with down to the common dining area where her meal is warmed up. She has a walker now and can walk on her own, but having that caring staff there beside her gives my Dad and I a lot of comfort. There are unexpected treats brought to the rooms or served in the common areas. Small gifts show up from time to time. There are a large amount of activities to choose from daily including going out to lunch on Thursdays with the group. The facility is still very new and still shaking out a few things but really minor things. The important things are all in place and she seems happy for the most part. There will always be a day or two that she says she misses home, but she is socializing more at Greenfield than she ever would at home. After almost two months now, Dad and I don't rush to get there each day or stay every waking minute with her. Our confidence in Greenfield is such that we can entrust them with my Mom of 56 years and Dad's wife of 65 years. I don't think it will ever be easy, but we believe it is best for all.

My mother is extremely happy here. She has friends and activities that she enjoys. Her apartment is precious. The staff seems very friendly and caring to my mom. She has respect for the staff I am very frustrated that after over 2 weeks of residency I have no confidence that I have filled out all of the proper paperwork. All of the forms for residency were filled out. However, there are multiple authorization forms that have to be filled out and those are all dealt with separately. Administratively there needs improvement at this community. There seems to be communication issues among the staff. If you ask simple questions it seems that there is only one person to ask and it is not clear who that person is. Example of this a flyer that is put out to the families but when questions arise two people did not know the answer.

Clean, friendly and inviting facility. It appears that the changes and additions with the food services have been well thought out and are more user friendly.

We are very pleased with the accommodations, the responsiveness to inquiries, and suggestions. The food is very good; options are available if the main menu isn't liked by the resident. The facility is brand new and clean. Sarah, the Activities Coordinator is wonderful. She's always doing things with the residents, trying new things to get residents involved. All of the staff are very friendly, helpful and concerned about every resident and the families of the residents.

This place is God sent! I had a stroke, and thought my life was over. I found Knollwood Pointe, the healthcare here has helped me to have my life back. I felt at home from the time I entered the front door. I was greeted with love, kindness, and a special care like no other place I had been. The director { Venessa Cooks} is like no other, she greets each resident on a daily basis with concern, and a caring smile. This community is the best place I could have ever imagined!

Living at Lewisville Estates allows me to live a much laid back lifestyle. I enjoy all my friends and the staff is always helpful from the front office, food services, and maintenance. I have finally found a place that always has activities, hot meals, and is affordable. The Activities Director goes about and beyond to keep us healthy and active. I enjoy all the activities; we have off site trips and the staff love to dance with us during events. My family is able to rest knowing I am in good hands and living an active lifestyle. It was a major decision for me, coming from my own home of many years, to a smaller space and community setting. I have not once regretted the move.

Join the activities regularly and watch your surroundings when leaving the facilities. The area isn't the best crime wise, but seems safe enough if your watchful. You can always ask the security to escort you to your car as well.

This is a very clean Facility. The food is very average. The management is super nice and very accommodating. The housekeeping could use extra help on the weekends as well as the kitchen staff. They need to schedule bed changes at least once a week, especially in Memory Care where the clients may not want, or know, to ask for extra help. The Beauty Shop could use extra help.

Cambridge Landing is clean and has a nice director and helpful head nurse. The staff take good care of the residents, they're a caring staff. They have daily activities. Meals are good. It's not cheap but the price is similar to others. It seems to be very safe.

Meals are often lackluster and recently I have noticed a reduction In staff which is distressing. Our cna's are terrific....they just need more!!

The Chef is wonderful; homemade breads and desserts, great entrees!! Beautiful courtyard with trees, grass, benches and lots of birds. The apartments have patios with sliding doors. The staff members are kind and enthusiastic. The facility is older but well maintained.

The Reserve has recently changed management/ ownership. The previous management was more approachable than the new one.

She had no choice of having to go into assisted-living so she did need quite a bit of care. She never wanted to go into a place so she was very depressed and had a bad attitude about it however, from what I witnessed while she was there I gave good reviews. She would call me at times and complain about having to wait too long for help, but I do know those places are pretty demanding & short on staff. She also complained that they could be mean at times, but I just think she was taking out a lot of anger on them. For quality of care, it's hard to find good people - not sure if any of the other places are any better. I've gotten feedback from other residents too. For activities, I've seen some activities & they didn't look too exciting - but my mom never participated. I toured a lot of places, but the reason we chose this one too was my mom was a smoker and she could smoke in the outdoor spaces. Most places do not allow it.

The Pointe at Kirby Gate was the only place that agreed to admit my father who was actively dying and needed hospice to their facility. This allowed my parents to be together until he passed four days after moving in. I will forever be grateful to the Pointe for that.

Stopped by to look at Assisted Living. While it is a little doled, its very clean. The residents were all warm. Staff was helpful. Everyone seemed happy and cared for.

Staff are very helpful and available when needed. I do think they could improve on the activities by gearing it more towards the individual. I would recommend Harbison Shores to others.

A couple hiccups but overall it was was very good. We picked this community because of the cost and location.
