The Opal Senior Living

This is a nice community and my father would have liked it here. The staff and friendly and available to answer my questions. They had a variety of meals that seems to be good. They are a variety of activities offered here for the residents. We would recommend families to tour this community to see if this is a place for their loved one for good care.

My tour of this facility was a pretty decent one. Everyone was kind and courteous. The community appeared to be nice and well maintained. The staff I met was friendly. They were very kind to me, and my tour went tour.

We really have had a good experience with this community. I feel that this place is a breath of fresh air. Literally because the last place was horrible. I always have to clean my dads bathroom when I go in because I do not think that they clean everyday. The staff is awesome and super good at what they do. Dad is participating in a few activities, but not because of lack of not trying. I just have always had a good feeling about this community.

My loved one was only there for a short time and I was very pleased with the care that she had received. The staff where very attentive to her needs and made sure felt safe and was comfortable during her stay. She had no complaints of the meals and enjoyed the few activities she participated in. I would defiantly recommend this place to anyone.

Joanne was very helpful and answered our long list of questions. The facility is bright and cheerful, people were friendly. It was a good visit.

We use Belvedere for day care services for my grandmother with dementia. She loves it and so do we!

I met some nice staff during our tour of this community. This is a nice community. The community seemed clean and they offer a variety of activities.

My tour of this community was nice. This is a nice community. From what I saw everything appeared to be nice and clean. The staff was kind and friendly. It was a nice tout, but not the place for my brother. The community was a little far for us to travel too. It is a nice place with kind people.

While the facility is dated, the friendly staff more than makes up for those aesthetics. My mom, who did not want to go initially, has nothing but rave reviews for how sweet the staff is. This has eased her transition tremendously.

We are still in transition here at this community. My mother is having a few health complications. Overall this is a lovely community and we are pleased. They are doing everything they can for my mother in law and her needs. Everybody here is wonderful, they have all been caring and kind. We know she is safe and good hands here. It was a nice experience.

The staff have been nice, helpful, and welcoming to my friend. Everything is in good shape around the facility. My friend has not complained about the food, he eats very well. There are activities available but he is not interested in that, so my friends and I visit him often.

I loved Brookdale. I loved how they seemed to care for the residents as individuals and that it was small and all one level. The only snag is it’s totally out of our price range. There’s no way we could afford to send mom here.

I went to Belvedere on our scheduled time, and found that things had changed there, even put down a deposit, 2 days before Mr. [removed] move in they came to do an assestment and put him at a level 5, reason given he had to have his Parkinson Meds. 6x a day, as he can dress himself feed himself and needs assistance with shaving and a shower, the price went from $2900 a month to $4000.00 and he could not do this financially So I had to let them know he would not be moving in to their facility. Thank you for trying to assist us in our search. but Mr. [removed] will be staying, for the time at The Residences at Park Place.

IT HAS BEEN A GREAT PLEASURE WORKING WITH HANNA OAKS

As with all facilities when promises that are made, follow through is very important. Part of the condition of his residency was that transportation would be provided to visit his wife's grave site every Saturday, but when the first Saturday arrived, they said they do not provide transportation period on the weekends. It seemed like that discrepancy was kind of egregious to me.

So far so good at Brookdale Inver Grove Heights. They were very flexible when we thought we had a move in date and then she got sick. My mother did tell me that over the weekend she heard 5 staff members were leaving but my mother has dementia so I am not sure how much of it is true. That's the only thing that kind of took me by surprise but again I am not sure how much is correct. Overall things are going good so far.

The staff at Hanna Oaks is wonderful. Management, therapists, and caretakers are very friendly and strive to please residents and family alike. Some days there is a strong urine odor, otherwise they keep the facility, including resident's rooms, very clean. They are very responsive to suggestions. The parking lot was poorly lit and uncomfortable at night. I dropped a note in the suggestion box for lighting and it was corrected the following week. My biggest complaint (also the complaint of my family member) is that it is boring for the residents. There is an Activities Coordinator who schedules at least two activities a day. They are so very uninteresting: Bingo, classic movies, rememberence, prayer, chair exercises, etc. Trivia sounds the most interesting, but I haven't witnessed how it is. A previous resident moved because they were horribly bored. They did have a cook-out last week, which I hear was fun. Hopefully they get more creative in the activities to challenge and stimulate the residents more. I also think an exercise room would be beneficial for an energy/therapy outlet.

Belvedere has been a great relief to me and my brothers. Mom improved physically right away because of the activities and opportunities for walking. The caregivers have been caring and attentive, and the facilities have been clean and inviting.

My mother was only there at Belvedere Commons of Franklin for a few weeks, but during the time that she was there she was very happy. We were very well pleased with the facility and the staff.

It's a nice place. People are very friendly. My mother says the food is up and down. I think they all cost a lot. The value is fair. Overall, it was a pretty good experience for my mom. They have activities here. They take them out shopping. They have games for them and people come in and play music. They do an excellent job at taking care of my mother. The Brookdale Bluewater Bay is a nice place for mom.
