Turnaround Solutions

I think it's a very nice, accommodating facility. They had good, supportive rehab staff. The head administrator was really nice. I really liked her. She bent over backwards to help us meet my loved ones needs at the time. We were there for respite care, so they provided a furnished room, and it was very nice. It was much nicer than other facilities I looked at in the area. Their therapies were excellent and lived up to their good reputation. Vitalia contracts with a company called Fox Rehab, and they have therapists that are allocated specifically for Vitalia. That's the main reason we went there. My loved one had some quirky eating preferences at the time, and all she would eat was grilled cheese. I appreciated that at a time when she just wanted to be home but couldn't be, that they made her a grilled cheese every day. There was a patio off her room, and especially because of Covid restrictions, she loved to go out and sit. And then we could visit her on her patio, which was really nice.

We chose Journey Senior Living of Ankeny because when she was in the hospital, they were not allowed to go back home due to health concerns. They were able to take her right away. They also helped us out with a price and really worked with us to make sure they could take her. Once we got in here, the staff members really bent over backwards for us. They are excellent with communication, we get special ones from the memory care wing that keep us informed. One of the things we have come to appreciate is that they are not a large facility and I think she is getting more personal care here. I would recommend to others looking.

I would tell others to check this community out. This is a good community that is organized. I wish the communication about the pandemic within the community could be better with families..

I feel the community is safe and they are doing a great job during the pandemic. The staff is very friendly and caring. I would recommend this community to others. The community has a homey feel to it.

In budget, very independent but also lots of saftey features and has many care options. Super helpful staff, great location. Mostly everything included. Had a great feel and all amenities that grandma asked for.

Your feel is confident that your loved one is doing well. Their communication is very good with the family, I would definitely recommend this community to others.

From our understanding our loved one at the community seems to be enjoying the meals. Our loved one also says they offer a nice variety of activities for the residents to participate in.

We chose Mallard Point because when he was there he did not really need any extra care, he was pretty independent. The location of the facility is excellent and the staff that we interacted with on the tour were top of the line, especially the head of sales. He had a 1 bedroom studio apartment and it was perfect for what he needed, especially for what we paid. I just think all around it is a super facility and would recommend to others looking.

We chose The Boulevard of St. Charles because of the availability, we had urgent need and they were able to get her in quickly. The room sizes here are very good, they have 2 sizes to choose from, a studio and a 1 bedroom. The staff members here have been wonderful especially with what has been going on. I would absolutely recommend.

The community is really good, and the care services would be a five plus. Especially during this pandemic they have really gone above and beyond to make sure the residents still stay active. We would absolutely recommend this community to others.

I would tell others to give this community a shot for their loved one's. The friendliness of the community was wonderful. The community was supportive of the transition of my loved one's passing. I feel they went out of their way for the family.

I would highly recommend this community for your loved one. The community is very receptive. They were always available to answer any of my questions. The room was beautiful for my loved one. The food was good.

With COVID the activities are a little difficult, however they are taking our loved one out on little outings, they are doing the best they can. At this community you can order food off of a menu throughout the entire day from 7AM to 7PM. This is a newer facility, so it is very very clean. Our loved has some trouble falling and their is staff member there all the time to help if he needs it. The communication is great and our loved one is being well taken care of.

The Kent Ridge is extremely friendly. You will have to go with this community's pharmaceutical group. I wish we could've kept my mom's pharmacy without a financial cost. The activities were amazing and even assisted with advanced memory care residents, in getting them involved. The chef would come to me and see what my mom would eat, and brought it directly to my mom. If it wasn't the Chef, it was someone from the kitchen and do the running. The staff would try and help memory care residents in eating food, since it is sometimes hard for them to keep themselves eating. The staff was very cognitive in knowing which memory care residents to sit with each residents for meals. They explained the memory care and why your loved one would say things to you, and not to take it personal.

This community is beautiful, and was on the more expensive side for me while I was there. The rent was raised about 10% each year while I was there. I had a two bedroom and a one-and-a-half bathroom. I was the first person to live in my apartment. The activities were great while I was there. They had trivia, Wii bowling, bingo, happy hour each week with entertainment and more.

They no have housekeeping every other week due to Covid, so my sister and I have to clean his room on the off week. The management staff is very good and caring. The residents are very friendly they bond together and help each other. The food is excellent. They have a lot of activities. I have recommended them to others. They have an outside agency that they use for caregivers that is wonderful.

We met with [name removed] on Saturday. We were able to talk in a room inside and see an independent living suite but there was no tour of the community or the assisted living facility. They do have 2 studio apartments available on the first floor but they look out onto the courtyard and are not accessible for window visits. They seem to take the care of their residents very seriously and we were impressed with our conversation with [name removed] but were unable to see any of it first hand. The facility is in a good location. My concern would be the cost of my mother's care with the point system they use.

Had a cousin live there and now a brother in law. Have eaten there many times. Food is great. Managers and staff have been very kind to me and my loved ones. I tell everyone that it is a place to be when you get older and want someone to cook for you. Would like to see more active activities for those that like to do things out in the community.

Kind and caring people are in charge and in service.

My 94 year old mother lives in a cottage at Arkanshire. She has enjoyed every minute for 3 years. During this pandemic the staff has worked tirelessly to provide the services mentally & physically to insure the residents stay happy & healthy. My mother has been a trooper during this time of uncertainty & loneliness, but the staff has been instrumental in her wellness & attitude. Thank you so much to Arkanshire. Well done!!!
