The Goodman Group

Great place full of active folks who become your friends and family. My mom has flourished since moving this last summer. Managed very good

We felt confident in the care received for our mother, they did a good job communicating what was going on. I would recommend this community to others.

We chose The Commons on Marice because it was a very clean and friendly atmosphere. They also accept medicaid should my mom run out of money. The room sizes here are quite large compared to others that we looked into. For the most part the food is very good, they are chef prepared meals off of menus. I would tell others that it is a very safe and comfortable place for residents. I would recommend.

My mom fell in love with Emerland springs when we toured it. She was able to get into a one bedroom and they had remodeled it right before she moved in so it was very nice and updated. The grounds the facility is on is very beautiful, it is set far away from the main road which is nice. She did love the food here, they were fresh chef prepared meals and they take your order, they served it restaurant style. They have a shuttle so they were able to take my mom to and from her medical appointments, she had dementia and they could schedule someone to ride with her as well. I would 100% recommend.

We chose Garden Ridge because her father lived here before and had a great experience. The apartment sizes are nice. I have eaten here once and the food was really good. The best part about this community has been the activities and the places that they took them before COVID. The staff members have been very helpful and communicative with what is going on inside of the facility. I would definitely recommend the community.

My dad lived at Chandler Place for a short time before he passed. I couldn't have asked for better care for him!! The staff is the BEST I have ever seen!! They truly care about each and every resident!!! I would recommend Chandler Place to anyone!!! It is a VERY special place!

The staff at Katella Senior Living is amazing. They have provided comfort to my Mom and peace of mind for our family.

Katella Senior Living has wonderful, caring staff. They are also very responsive and easy to communicate with should an issue arise. I would definitely recommend this facility.

In January 2020 we reluctantly needed to place my 92-year-old mother in assisted living and went on the search for the best place. We interviewed many places and ended up feeling very comfortable with Katella Senior Living. What drew us to Katella was they had about 60 residents yet seemed like they were well connected with the needs of each person. They not only attended to the basic needs but also to the social needs of the group by having exercise class as well as one on one care. They not only seemed to care about my mom’s needs but also what she wanted and did their best to make her feel comfortable in her new living environment. I’m convinced that character is not shown in good times but in challenging times and that is where I believe Katella excels. Starting in March the world would change and we entered into a very unsettling time. The challenge we faced was how would my mom be cared for in this pandemic. Katella took this challenge and made the hard choices to protect our loved one and we couldn’t be more impressed with how they approached a very challenging time. Of course, it came with great sacrifice as we could not visit in person but honestly, that is a small price to pay for her safety. During the last six months they have kept us updated on the COVID situation and to this point have had only one resident infected and have done a great job on keeping all the residents as safe as they can. All I can say is in this unsettling time we are extremely grateful in the great care my mother has received and continue to receives at Katella and couldn’t recommend this place higher.

Cannot thank Management and the staff on how they handled the COVID situation. They addressed the issue with the residents and family very early on. While I was concerned with hearing other assisted living communities being evacuated, I felt my mom was in a good place. Prior to the pandemic, this has been the best assisted living community my mom has lived at. She seems to be very happy. The entire staff has been very helpful and genuinely care about their residents and residents’ families.

My Mom has been at Katella for 2 years and I can say that the staff, both pre and post Covid has been terrific. They follow up closely to give out her medications, drive her to doctor and dental appointments, meals are good and promptly served, rooms are kept clean and tidy and above all, the management and staff is always courteous and understanding. I highly recommend this Senior Living Community.

Our experience with the sales person & walk through was exceptional. They answered all questions & concerns that we had.My mom has been there almost 2 years & all staff nurses,caregivers,housekeeping ,maintenance people ([name removed]) & kitchen employees have been exceptional.Props to [name removed] Activities Director & [names removed] nurses who my mom loves dearly.Another plus to this facility is the doctors & hospital are one block away which makes it nice.I would highly recommend Katella Senior Living to any family that loves there family member dearly. ????

My Mother moved into Katella Senior Living November 2019. She loved the friendly staff, activities and not having to cook, clean, or do her own wash! She liked that it is “not too fancy”. Mom suffered from mild dementia. Once Covid lockdown began in March 2020 the staff really stepped up with meals in rooms, 1:1 activities, masked outdoor walks and wellness checks. My Mom began to have more problems with her dementia, delusions and paranoia. I mention that because the staff at Katella has been so wonderful, responsive and caring. The staff not only takes care of her physically, but also mentally and emotionally. My mom’s neurologist is also very impressed with the care the staff, especially nursing staff, is giving. The neurologist called the nurses and was really impressed how well the nurses knew my mom right away, knew what her issues are, and how they were helping mom (and me) manage these issues. We have been having “window visits” and looking forward to face to face garden visits soon. We looked at quite a few places and I have worked in Assisted Living settings. Katella Senior Living is a great place, very homey and caring. The pricing is very reasonable.

I am so happy I decided on Katella for my mom, [name removed]. The service, cleanliness, outstanding care and dedication of all the employees and staff is over the top. I love the constant communication I receive on everything they are doing during this coronavirues pandemic. They really are on top of keeping up with testing employees and all the people living there and always notifying me of all that they are doing plus all the precautions with cleanliness, wearing of masks and social distancing at the same time keeping everyone there busy with the different activities. Thank you.

[Name removed] gave information as requsted. Very caring and helpful. We are working on things and look forward to have a place for my mother in the near future. The Covid Virus puts us on hold for a in community tour with Emerald Springs. I received online information. Thanks to [name removed] for providing this great place to us.

When you enter the community is it so luxurious it feels like you are walking into a luxury hotel. The decor makes you feel like you are in a little European village. The facility is beautiful. The great room has a domed ceiling, a stage with a baby grand piano, an aviary that is so peaceful to watch, two puzzle tables, and a neat little kids corner for the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. There is a big emphasis on mobility and activities. They actually offer a boxing exercise class that is specifically targeted for residents with Parkinson's. In the great room they have concerts and guest speakers, and big church services. They also have a separate small chapel for other religious services. They have a billiard room, a snack shop, and offer happy hour. Another nice feature is that they have a few different rooms families can reserve for gatherings. They have a post office and banking services in the community as well. This is really the place to be!

We are so grateful that we chose the Amethyst Arbor as my mom's new home. [Name removed] provided multiple tours to assure that our family members were all comfortable and all of our questions were answered. He was very kind and patient. Everyone involved with my mom's move in were wonderful. Unfortunately, my dad was hospitalized and diagnosed with metastatic cancer on the scheduled move in day. He died 2 1/2 wks later. All of the staff was very compassionate and attentive to my mom while my dad was dying and after. Our whole family got to spend time at the Amethyst and were all so impressed with how lovely our mom's apartment is and how beautiful the common areas are and how wonderful the staff is. Everything is bright and cheerful and homey! The grounds are so beautiful with flowering bushes and grass. The whole place is immaculate and never has bad odors. There are so many helpful services. It has been such a huge assistance and relief to our family. My mother is kept safe. The dining room is lovely and the meals are very good. The service is excellent. The residents seem happy and well cared for. I hear all of the staff calling the residents by their names. My mother receives continuous competent and loving care. She feels very safe and we have confidence in the very efficient staff. Everybody is so helpful and loving. I am a nurse and have very high standards. I am totally impressed with everything! Every medical professional I have spoken to who knows the Amethyst has nothing but positive feedback. Most of all, my mom is happy with her new home!

Very Nice Great Activities

My parents moved in on [date removed] and our family is so happy with their apartment and all the amenities. [Name removed] was such a pleasure to work with. My dad loves it there and mom is adjusting. They moved out of a huge house but she says she likes it now. My siblings and I are so relieved to have them in a safe place. We have a Christmas party to go to tomorrow so they were excited to have us come to that.

My parents started at Timber Pines in an Assisted Living apartment, but after my mother died, dad had to be moved to the memory care unit, Pearl Gardens. While this place is top notch in terms of beauty and amenities, what makes Timber Pines most stellar is their staff: these folks are the most loving and caring people you'll ever meet. They loved and cared for my parents as though they were their own. I simply couldn't recommend them more. Thank you, Timber Pines... you all are amazing!
