Traditions Management

Nothing will be all that you hope for! QP will offer sign-on deals but don't feel that pressure. They offer them regularly. The programming discussed on the tours happens primarily in the main areas and is available to memory care patients only if family members take them. The memory care wing is very limited on concerts and special events. There is a clause in the paperwork that requires 30 day notice to vacate: INCLUDING IN THE EVENT OF DEATH. We were stuck with a full month of facility fee because mom died a few days before the new month. Very very disappointed no one pointed this out when mom was in decline. However, staff was loving and patient and should have an award for putting up with all of the families! They truly wept when mom died and that moved me. Mom was NOT alone!

This is a great facility for someone who wants activities. There are many options. They could improve on food quality. Room size is fine. I really like that they include cable and some furniture- made it much easier to move in.

Very thoughtful, all the staff. Food excellent. Nurse very helpful. Rooms clean.

They are friendly most of the time. I feel they need to be showered more often. Not sure why 8 days of pay is needed once person is deceased and no longer taking up a bed or employee time. Definitely feel all things belonging to a patient should be marked and not be able for others to use/take. To much ability for patient to get in others rooms to take things.

The experience is good except for dining. Everything else is very good. Staff are very good. Have good activities. Residents seem to be friendly for the most part. Very compatible with everyone.

If you are going for a respite stay, make sure you bring underpads/briefs... they are not supplied, which I didn't realize. Also, the period were extremely nice and professional, but they don't do any real skilled nursing help. My husband had a wound on his foot which we told them about, but they never changed the dressing in the 9 days he was there. So if you have someone that needs more than basic care (toileting, meds, food), you might want to try somewhere else. The place is gorgeous and the people are very kind. I have no issues with that at all. Just wasn't what I expected for the care side of it.

The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is I think they give her evening medication too early. My mom is truly thriving; her overall health has improved since she is getting three meals per day, getting medication daily, and is socializing with other residents.

Brookdale South is a great facility I have been happy with our experience. They were very patient with my dad allowing him to settle in. They are very responsive to my concerns. Thanks to a place for mom for their help

The food in the memory care unit at Traditions at Hunter Station is very limited in choice compared to the main dining room.

We chose Brookdale Zanesville because of the overall appearance. The staff is thoughtful and willing to go out of their way to help when needed. My dad is happy with our choice and has made some new friendships.

Very nice clean facility. Good people. We picked this community because it's convenient to my home, and the affordability.

In my experience, the facility feels remarkably like home. The staff exhibits exceptional care and friendliness while maintaining professionalism. A significant advantage is the notable improvement in my mother's health and the quality of medical care she receives, surpassing what could be achieved at home. The most important aspect is my mother's genuine fondness for the facility, giving me peace of mind knowing she is in capable hands.

What we like the most about this community is that they update us promptly if change in residents condition...frequent checking on resident, encouragement from staff for resident to participate in activities, activities which include families

My mother is a current resident of Clare Bridge, the memory care unit at Brookdale Lakeview Crossing. The staff is caring, pleasant, interacts in a positive manner with my mother, and exercises patience with residents with dementia/Alzheimer. I was out of town for an extended time and I was confident that my mother would receive good care from the staff while I was away. However, I do not feel there is sufficient coverage for 2nd and 3rd shift. There is often only one aide on the floor getting residents ready for bed. I was told there would be activities for residents in the memory care unit but I have not seen any activities other than residents sitting in the common area listening to music or watching TV. The furniture and carpet are stained, dated and need to be replaced. They have a base amount for rent and then add on for needed health services. The memory care unit is not the most beautifully furnished place but the staff and residents make for a very nice community.

He needed a higher level of care and they were making us pay extra for a sitter. Could improve Training of staff to take care of dementia patients better and understand the disease process. I did like the activities, they took him to church, and the food was good. Private rooms were very nice.

The initial review of Meadow Brook with [name removed] was completed well, and I am pleased with my apartment. The move in went well thanks to the help of son [name removed] and his wife [name removed],and daughter[name removed]. The staff have been helpful, and appreciate [name removed] help with a few things.

I'd say it's really nice and don't think twice about moving there. I wish there was more parking up at the big building. My parents are in the Villas and they don't go up to do activities very often, they said it's hard to find parking. Dinner is so early and it doesn't run long enough. But everyone is really friendly and I'm happy that they are there.

I was worried in the beginning that my mom wouldn’t like it and I had made a mistake suggesting that she go into assisted living. After about 2 weeks she got her routine and started socializing. Now she tells her friends and family that she just loves it At Traditions of Hunter station. She plays bingo, cards, and enjoys the live entertainment. She is almost always doing something. Thank you “a place for mom” with suggestions on facilities to visit and helping us get the ball rolling.

It's very nice and clean. The staff are friendly and know their patients by name. They have been very accommodating with medication changes and the length of his stay. Dad is in a respite room which is supposed to be temporary but we are now beginning the third month of his stay. I do wish I'd get a report after he is seen by the doctor or nurse. I want him to be a permanent resident . They have a nice variety of activities. I've had a few little hiccups and it was really just communication issues. For example, dad won't shower regularly on his own so the staff is supposed to help him, twice a week. He tells me he's only getting a shower once a week. He might be confused. But, one thing I know he's not confused about is that no one has assisted him getting to meals. He had a repair of a hip fx, I think he needed help, especially in the beginning, even with a walker. He was at the end of a hallway so he had a fair distance to walk. But, I'm happy and I would still pick Lakeview.

.HOUSEKEEPING does an excellent job with the weekly cleaning of rooms/apartments. Housekeeping personnel are friendly and accommodating. FRIENDLINESS: Everyone is very friendly. Nurses/aides are great. Reception staff is outstanding. CARE: Overall, the care is excellent. However, there is room for improvement in staffing for nurses and aides. I am not sure if staffing guidelines come from corporate or if those decisions are made by in-house management. STAFF: . nurses/aides are dedicated - very kind and caring . However, there seems to be an increase in turnover of nurses/aides, which could be attributed to frustration over staffing issues . MEALS. Quality of meals is inconsistent. ACTIVITIES: Traditions has an excellent activities director and offers many different activities .However, I would suggest more encouragement for those who might be shy or having trouble adjusting to what in many cases can be a life-changing experience. VALUE: Comparable value.
