True Connection Communities

My dad has lived at Pine Ridge for four years. I checked out several places prior to him moving there. There is a higher male population at Pine Ridge and I was very impressed with the staff and the fact they take an interest in the residents lives and families. The staff is very kind and caring and treat all the residents with a caring and respectful attitude. They have always been very helpful when we needed extra assistance. My dad now needs assistance with his medicines. Right-At-Home comes in three times each day. Since starting that service, my dad's blood pressure runs much better. The facility is clean. There are activities for the residents and there are a couple family activities.... a picnic in the summer and a Christmas party. My dad's favorite activity was the monthly trip to the casino!! We know my dad's life is richer since living there. My mom passed away 7 years ago. He lived on his own for three years. He gets more exercise and is around other people more than when he lived on his own. We love knowing his meals are provided. Once a week, the laundry is done and his apartment is cleaned. Then when we come to visit, we can visit!

The people are friendly, the staff is friendly, they'll do anything to help you and its a really nice place. We're getting a good value too, I looked around quite a bit because I'm still cooking and wanted to find a place where you didn't have to buy your food and they do put out a menu for two weeks so you can let them know if you want to order lunch. They have low impact chair aerobics, water aerobics and they have lots of programs; like on friday they're having a party for the Great Gatsby and they always have people coming through and giving an hour program. There's lots going on if you want to get involved. The apartments are a good size too, all the doorways are for wheelchairs if you needed them and we have a front porch where we can sit out and watch the people go by. It's a nice size and people are wonderful, they really are.

I chose them because my mother is still a very active person and I have had my dad at Holidays so I was very familiar with those but I wanted something that had a lot of activities. Compared to others I looked at, Parc Place gave me a much better idea of activities. She's enjoying them, we're trying to get her to do more and more and she's enjoyed quite a few of what she's done. They absolutely encourage her participation which is good because we want her to get involved in more. The food is pretty good, it could be better and I've had better at others but we chose this soley because of the things they provided for more active people that didn't need to be scheduled.

We did a lot of shopping beforehand, we did this over a year time period went back several times, my parents are real happy there. They're not really using the care services per sey right now other than going to dining and things like that but they're loving the activities. My mom is still very active, very agile, and she was really kinda hesitant that she wasn't ready for this, that maybe my father was, but she wasn't, so it was a little harder transition for her in accepting that this is not what she made it out to be, that its not going to be a nursing home, that its a fun place to be. Debbie and Tanya, their activities directors are awesome peopel, they're always asking the residents what they want to do and my mom is doing more now than she ever did before and they really helped her come out of her shell.

Pine Ridge has been working out very well for our loved one. I don't have any issues with them so far. She likes being here. They are a little more costly then I expected. We have the full package so we thought that was with everything included but there are still charges for things that she does or needs. The food is good and the apartments are nice. Overall is has been a good place and we are pleased with them. I would recommend this community to anyone just make sure you ask about any additional charges that might happen.

I came with my mom to tour Parc place without an appointment but the guy in the office was very friendly and showed us the place and explained all the information about what do they offer. I ended up renting an apartment for mom there after visiting all the other communities. I think I made I made the right decision. Mom is so happy over there.

We toured this residence Saturday afternoon and Mom was very impressed with the size and storage of one of the units. She liked the amenities and planned activities. The location was more to her liking. Everything seemed to be well maintained. She liked the outdoor space and that she would be able to have some flowers or a small garden, in addition to the community garden area. Although the price was a little high, Lawana informed her of a military assistance program that might help with the rent. She also liked the onsite beauty shop because she likes to get her hair done weekly. She likes to cook but likes the option of having meals delivered if she ever needs that service. This one is the highest on her list. She will keep in contact on this residence.

My mother loved this place best, compared to three others that we looked at. Love the amenities (two swimming pools!), the meal options, and the fact that they are attached to a medical building where all doctors could be accessed by walking. Price seems very reasonable when considering all that is being offered, and in comparison to other properties visited.

This is on the short list.

Great place.

Loved it, nice atmosphere, staff very friendly, also out of my price range at this time

Friendly, beautiful apts & lunch very good.

Nice roomy apts. Patios!

Patio homes were really nice Active community Lots of spacious floor plan options (former hospital) Medical complex next door with hallway access

This was a nice community. The pricing was too high for me.

It's a pleasant experience and a nice place. The workers are very good. It's clean. The apartments are nice, and they're a good size. From what I've seen, I think it's a good place, and my loved one seems to be adjusting to it.

Overall, the staff is friendly. There are plenty of activities made available if residents choose to partake in them. The staff is responsive. They just had a change in management in the last couple of months, so I don't know yet what that will be like. I believe they've handled Covid fairly well, and I feel like it's a much better place than where she was before . One of the gals at the front desk was rude to our loved one's caregiver, but otherwise the staff has bene great. PreCovid, the food was really great. There have been a few blips with certain Covid challenges, but overall it's still good. My loved one clashes a bit with the activities director, and there was one instance where she asked for a book to be ordered for book club on two separate occasions, and it took a couple of months. So my loved one felt a little excluded for a while. Once that was all resolved, she settled in and made some friends. When she gets out and about, she feels comfortable.

Verena At The Glen is only Independent living so there are no care services provided. Prior to COVID they had bingo, and other games for the residents. We also were able to brew our own beer. Every Friday they would have an open bar for social time. The food at this community is being delivered to us. The food is not consistently excellent. My apartment is perfect, they offer different varieties in size. This community has three separate buildings, two are apartments building for the residents with a common area.

I like that I have my own kitchen. My unit has two bedrooms and two baths. It has been updated and has new hardwood floors and granite counter tops. It has a balcony and a fireplace and lots of storage. Lots of areas to walk. Security 24/7. They have a nice handbook for residents. Garbage is picked up at your door twice a week. Everyone is very friendly.

I was here [dates removed] to visit my mom. She moved in 6 months earlier after selling her condo. I booked one of the guest suits, which is the same as a 1 bedroom apt. It was more convenient than staying at a local hotel and gave me the opportunity to really see what is going on here. I received nothing for this review although you might think I have. All the staff I met (administrative, maintenance, food services and cleaning) were friendly. While each apt. comes with a full kitchen, the monthly rent includes breakfast and dinner. I had several dinners with my mom at her table in the main dining hall. There were also 5 other women there. After the 2nd dinner I quietly commented to the waitress that she had the patience of a saint. From what I experienced, all of the wait staff were friendly. The food is VERY good with varied menus each day. The white linen table cloths pass my mom's high standards. There is the aptly named "happy hour" daily at 4:00pm when wine and snacks are served. Since moving in my mom has begun to socialize again, having made new friends and leaving her apt. to participate in the various activities offered within the community. I am happy my mom moved here.
