Traditions Management

The facility is very clean and nice. The staff was friendly to us and to the residents. We found it to be very large and everything looked the same. Our family member with mild dementia would be lost. As expected the memory care area was less attractive and the people less engaged. Probably not a good fit for us.

Great place to live. Very satisfied.

I find this place very acceptable. The food is above average--sometimes not hot enough. They provide various, almost daily activities (which is very necessary for most of us) Keeping us interested and motivated is very important.

It's home away from home. All people are friendly and helpful. Conveniences available to those limited to travel. Lovely overall facility. Freedom to decorate as you like. Clean healthy environment. Very quiet and restful.

Gentry Park Bloomington is a beautiful new community. It is obvious that the Director of Health Services is very experienced and compassionate. She is right there taking shifts/care of residents when needed and seems to strive to have a good working relationship with families. She (and some of her staff) provide education, listen to concerns, and keep me informed of changes and care plan updates. They have chefs that they are working with to prepare food that meet the different dietary needs of the residents. There is a nicely landscaped small courtyard for the residents to go out, weather permitting, to enjoy the fresh air. There are activities that they can participate in. The only concern that I will add is that there doesn't seem to be a telephone system in place, at least not in the memory-care area. They use walkie-talkies, which seem to make communication a little difficult at times. Overall, my loved one is receiving the care he needs. They allow and encourage his independence while they make sure he takes his medication, and they help him through difficult times. I feel good he is receiving the care that he needs. I would recommend this community.

After seeing other communities and comparing what was needed I felt they were not the best fit for our parent. I did enjoy seeing how they operate and it could be suitable for another family.

We liked the atmosphere and cleanliness of Park Place. We toured both the assisted living and memory care areas. Memory care is most appropriate for our moms needs. There is no opening in memory care at this time. [Removed] was helpful in thinking through options for our mom to receive care from Park Place. While it is still on our list to consider we continue our search. We need to include nursing home care in our search.

Right out of the box new, light and airy. Wondered about staffing, saw a receptionist, two kitchen workers and the sales person. They are advertising for an activity director.

We had a wonderful tour the staff were knowledgeable and answered all our questions and we would have considered this community for our dad, except that we would have had to completely furnish his room. The community is new, fresh and clean and everyone was great.

Dad seems to be doing ok since moving there. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is great communication between myself and the staff they let me know if they have any concerns and if I have concerns they listen. The inside of the facility is clean and updated nicely. Dad has lost all sense of taste but seems to like the food when he eats. The community offers activities however dad is not the most social person so he chooses not to participate in anything for very little. I would recommend them to anyone.

We didn't have any problems during our tour of this community, it is a nice place. Everyone was kind, and friendly. The community looked nice, from what we were shown. The staff was polite, and we had a nice tour overall. However they were not able to provide my love one with some of his medical needs.

I have to say mom is doing very well here. We have not experienced any problems or issues. They are providing the care that mom needs. It is a locked facility and the only way for anyone to leave is to see a staff member and they have to enter a code to get out the door which eases my mind that mom can't get out and wander. The staff is right on top of everything, in fact, they are always calling me and giving me updates on mom and her care. The location is perfect for me to visit her. The price for my mothers care is well within my budget range, in fact, it is below what I was paying at a different location which is amazing and not sacrificing moms care level needs.

My tour of this community was a nice one. From what I saw the community looked good, and the facility appeared to be clean. The staff was kind, and informative. My questions were answered. Everyone was very kind to my family,and myself. It was a little to small for our taste overall.

My mother is doing well with her move to this community. The staff is good, they are taking good care of her, and her needs. The community is well-kept. They do a good job with the cleanliness. Everything is working out very well for us at this community, and I would recommend it.

So far so good. My father has only been in Brookdale for 8 days but he seems to like it. Obviously the quality of food is a major factor for the residents and the food at Brookdale seems to be better than his independent living facility that he left in the southeast. We'll see after a few months if he still thinks it is good. The staff seems pretty well trained but the residents need to understand that it's not one on one attention from the staff so if they call for assistance, it may take 15-30 minutes before a staff member can attend to them. I think this fact takes getting used to by the residents. The activities seem well targeted towards the various levels of health of the residents, though my father has yet to participate in many of them. Dining room staff seems really attentive and friendly as well as patient with the "demands" from the residents. One resident a heard was screaming that the cook should be fired because her eggs were not hard enough at breakfast. The server was mellow and returned with "hard" eggs for the resident.

Things are going pretty well for my mother since her move into Transitions. It is a brand new facility and she loves her apartment. My father in law is on the assisted living side and it's going pretty well for him too. I would recommend this community because it is new, clean, and everyone is friendly.

This seemed like a nice community when I visited. The people I met were nice and this would have been our second choice. The community looked clean and they offer daily activities.

Me and my wife were able to take a tour of this community and we thought that it was very nice. The staff was cordial and they answered everything that we needed. We just thought that there was a different place that suited us better.

I really liked the memory care unit in this community. Outside of each apartment, the residents had little porches with chairs. They could sit out there and interact with each other. The rest of the place was very nice and so were all of the staff members I came in contact with.

When I went to this community I felt like the nurses were super. They answered all of my questions and was very helpful. Mom seems to be doing well here and she likes it. They do a wonderful job with keeping me informed with what is going with mom as well. I like the communication.
