The Opal Senior Living

Chosen based on price and availability. I would recommend to others.

I toured with Belvedere Commons of Seneca. The lady I met with was very nice, but the only downfall was that they had carpet. It would have been very tough for my grandmother to get around in her wheelchair or even walking.

I am well pleased with the services here.

I would recommend it. I have peace of mind & know the residents are taken care of. It's right down the street from where I live & it is locked so the residents can't wander out.

Staff is caring and compassionate.

A good experience overall. Especially with the Activities Director and other people!

A very nice place to live. I really feel I am at home. If I don't get good service it is because I don't ask.

A great fit for our family. Belvedere Commons is a smaller residence hall, so it was much to my mother-in-law's liking. My father-in- law is in a room in the Memory Care right around the corner from her Assisted Living studio apartment. He spends most days with her in her studio apartment which is quite spacious. The facility is bright and light. There are 2 lovely courtyards with mature bushes and trees on either side of the dining hall which make dining in a pleasant experience. My mother-in-law actually has her studio apartment on the courtyard so she has a nice outside view all the time. I have heard good reviews of the food. I wish Belvedere had about 10 more workers, but I am pretty sure that is a common problem these days. Those who work with my in-laws have been quite kind to us all. The fact that my mother-in-law could have PT in the facility was added plus. She has also been thankful that she could play the piano and lead the residents in singing once a week. The activities director quickly added her to the calendar of events within a week or two of moving in. That has been a bright spot. Although they would prefer to be in their own home, Belvedere Commons is the perfect place for them at this time in their lives. My mother-in-law really needed more help. She is now getting the help she needed.

There is always room for improvement, but so far based on the experience we have had we seem to like it. We would recommend the Belvedere Commons of Franklin community to other families who are looking for a place for their loved ones

So far based on the experience our family has had with Belvedere Commons of Franklin, we can say this community is doing a good job. My mother-in-law is very happy there. We would recommend this community to other families who are looking for a place for their loved ones.

My elderly sister had lived in one area of New York her entire life. When it became apparent that she could no longer live on her own, I started looking for an Assisted Living facility near my home in Florida. I went to Belvedere Commons of SCC, without an appointment, and within a couple of minutes, I was greeted by one of the Directors, who offered to meet with me, right then. They told me all about the facility, the services they offered, answered all my questions and took me on a tour of the facility. Thoughout the tour, I was greeted with smiles and warm welcomes from several members of the staff. Knowing that the move was going to be very traumatic for my sister, I wanted a place that was small and felt warm and inviting. From the first day, my sister has been Extremely happy. She constantly says she feels good here, the people, both staff and residents, are very friendly and caring. All of the supporting staff is very professional and makes her feel safe, too.

Executive Director is excellent. Needs effective corporate support. Staff is very good. Housekeeping and maintenance needs additional staffing. Nursing and resident care and food service is very good.

Staff! Great people. The facility administrator is the reason the facility was chosen. Now the Corporate CEO, [name removed], makes over 6 million. GREEDY! Does not pay any staff enough. They work hard.

Love living here. I do all the activities, if you are bored it is your fault.

It's good. I don't know what I like the best.

My family and loved one had a good experience with Belvedere Commons. This community is on the smaller side. The care sometimes is slow. There could be more activities, but the bus was broken while my loved one was at the community. The staff was very friendly. Overall, this is a community you should check out to see if it is the right fit for your loved one.

I love Brookdale. We are hiring a a housekeeper, which is badly needed. Now the public areas are cleaned by a single person, and it looks good. Even with the lack of housekeeping staff, our apartments are ok due to the cleaning before I came. I am confident that we are on par with any other facilities. The food is good for the most part. The breakfast is awesome, and the soups are beyond good. We have a balanced meal every day. Our chef works miracles with seasonings. There is a wide range of activities daily. The care staff are wonderful. They deal with some grumpy old folks who just have a defeatist attitude and like to push the help button purely for attention or need the tv adjusted. Our care staff understands us and do a loving job of meeting and surpassing our needs. They are warm yet professional, and I have yet to see a single person who I would replace. Our nursing staff are gentle and professional answering questions or fielding concerns. Before moving here I evaluated the costs of assisted living facilities in town. Brookdale ls pretty comparable. I would love to have a dishwasher and in-room washing capabilities, but after almost three months of being cared for by this staff, I am very pleased that we chose Brookdale. I appreciate the assistance A Place for Mom gave me while I was struggling with this very complicated life situation. After all of my research and after living here, I totally feel it's the best place for me, and I would definitely recommend Brookdale. The warmth of our assistance staff is awesome. Other than the issue with no housekeeping, I am totally happy here.

My loved ones looked at a larger community but opted for Belvedere Commons for the smaller community feeling. They have made friends and are very happy. Staff are very attentive and helpful.

Tour before committing and then tour again before moving in. You never know how care will be until your loved one is living in the community. I'm not sure if they have enough staff to make sure the residents aren't wondering and to properly care for the residents.

I live out of state and talked with someone on the phone about this facility. After explaining what my loved one needed, the man said he did not feel that this would be the right fit for my mother. It is a high rise and she just needed too much care. I appreciated their honesty with me.
