Tutera Senior Living and Healthcare

Very nice facility. Cares for their rents. Has good interactive programs. Unfortunately, showing its age. Newer properties units are more uptodate.

So far we're very pleased with this community! It is a beautiful place, very bright and airy decor, with a lot of windows, and they keep the place spotless. The staff have been outstanding, they're always very helpful, and ready to answer any questions or concerns that we might have. They've got all sorts of amenities on site, like a hairdresser, or manicurist. They have plenty of activities to keep everyone active and entertained, and the activities director is awesome. She stops by every day to let Mom know what is going on and invite her to join. The food is also great, it's prepared on-site by their chefs, and has always been delicious when I've eaten there. One thing I will note is that families should be wary about keeping any valuables here, my Mom had some rings go missing, and it may be better to let family members take care of those.

This was one of the locations we looked at while looking into care options. The staff were friendly, and the building was nice looking and clean. We felt it would have been a good fit, however it was a little less conveniently located for us.

This was a relatively new facility, probably 2 years old. They were really nice, I took mom over there to see if she liked it and she really liked it. The only thing about it is the rooms are really, really small. She would not have been able to bring her bedroom furniture in. I don't know what they were thinking building a room for an adult that couldn't fit a full size bed; I don't know any adults who sleep on twin beds.

I don't interact with the staff a whole lot but the ones I have been are a five. The thing I like about Riverwalk is the smell, because some of them (more of the nursing homes), you walk in and you smell urine and this doesn't smell like anything; so that was a big plus for me. I like that she has her own room and I like all the activities that she can do, she's made a lot of friends. I know she kind of fusses about her showers, she gets 3 a week and she wants to take more but I'm in agreement with them, she doesn't need to shower everyday. When we first looked at Riverwalk Commons and my mother got evaluated, the nurse said she was at the bottom level of care and 3 weeks later she was at the top, so they're going ot re evaluate her because the nurse said when they're in a better environment they usually perk up. Also, when she moved in, Riverwalk Commons was having a move-in incentive, I think it was free or at a reduced price, they have a moving company they partner with and they were just awesome.

All the employees are so nice and helpful. Food is fantastic too! just wish there were more opportunities for field trips.

I was good. It was more expensive and the building was a little bit larger. I liked the smaller places.

It's fine, they've got some issues they need to attend to but generally it's very good. They need to fix their entrance key pad lock and they need to clean their carpets more often but other than that the staff is wonderful and accomodating.

My mother is there and I have been there. I saw no issues whatsoever with cleanliness. We had been paying for 24hr care so we couldn't be frightened by any price - the value appears to be very fine. My mother doesn't participate in any of the activities but that's not to say they aren't available. We like the fact that they've been very responsive to my mother's needs. If we say we need this done, they say no problem. Maybe all places have this feeling, like they're half a staff person short or something. I'm sure they meed the standards in Kansas though.

I'm real happy with it. Everything is very expensive, obviously, but comparing to the prices of other facilities I looked at, the value is there. My parents are always busy. There is physical therapy, speech therapy, pinochle games. The nurses that are there are involved. Obviously there are some that are better than others but overall I'm really happy with this facility. I have recommended it to other people looking for a place for their folks.

The independent cottages are very nice and the assisted living bldg.was bright and didnt feel like a 'nursing home'. Annie was very informative.

Obviously the price or cost was one issue but we just thought that the facility looked ideal for my wife's mom. The rooms were nice, the meals that they provided looked like the were outstanding. It was indicated and also obvious that they keep the facility well maintained. We tried the food also and it was very good. My wife's mom likes it very much, she said she really likes it and enjoys socializing with the people who are there. Like we did, anybody that's considering that type of care, they need to look at different options and make a choice based on what they see and what will be best for them.

Great place that deserves some serious consideration. It's much cheaper than the Heritage although the location isn't as pretty. There are 2 ponds and some nice walking paths so you would have access to nature. The building is huge and there is an indoor and outdoor walking club which my Mom thought was wonderful. She met one lady in the gym working out and they hit it off immediately. The bus is terrific--going to a variety of places in the community and residents can order a trip almost anywhere within a 10 mile radius (that could help with the lack of amenities within walking distance.) The rooms are a bit cheesy--total Brady Bunch decor with no plans to update. I was surprised by that. No ovens in the room but mom felt like she could live without that. They accept dogs. The health care is provided by outside company but they are on the premises.

Meals offered in Independent living? Progresssion of care. Not a buy in. Independent living with light services. 2nd person fee for meals?

Very nice facility. Concerned about the options if we run out of funds.

Very pleased with tour and facility.

This is my favorite that is in my price range. Again the rooms were a bit small for the one bedroom apartments but they do have some deluxe models. It is close to me. I do want to see this again with my husband. I wish the bathroom was off the bedroom.

This is the first one we looked at. It seems good, maybe not as much hanging out with people as we'd like but friendly and nice. We like the level system.

Nice setting. hotel feel. breakfast/dinner included but consequently only kitchenette. population was said to have an avg age of 75 but got the sense of a much older population.

This is a neat little place tucked in the woods near a nice sub division- very quiet, serene. The staff is very friendly, very clean and nice facility- I liked the small size- about 50 people reside here. The rooms are small but the rooms are clean and cozy. Cafe where they serve food is a good size and people looked happy to be there. Very good care here at Crystal Pines. There was 2 courtyards to visit outside and an area to stroll. This place met all the criteria for a well run rehab and nursiing home.
