WellQuest Living

We appreciated the home-like atmosphere of Sunrise. There was a dog in the lobby who greeted us. We met one resident and her cat and spotted a nesting dove outside in the garden area. The presence of animals was a big plus. Residents tended to be friendlier and more outgoing. One lady engaged in a nice lengthy conversation with us and we felt welcomed. The dining room offers a choice of selections for each meal and residents are free to dine between certain hours so there is some flexibility about meal time. The food looked appealing and residents appeared to enjoy the flavors. Residents appeared to be sitting alone at their tables however. A small outdoor garden area was nicely planted. Not too much space to walk outside. Good selection of interesting activities and trips outside of the residence. Location is relatively far from our Tower District home making it difficult to spend time visiting or have time to enjoy family outings together. The predominant spiritual influence appears to be The People s Church which would be less familiar for Mom than a Catholic environment. It was clear that charges for administering medication and continence management could run quite high. Basically there is a charge for everything. Although the setting was more in tune with what we envision for our mother the corporate bottom line was a distracting factor.

We toured this community and it had a musty smell, but it's closer to the ocean so that could be a factor. The dining area is open from where the tenants live, so I don't know how well that would be when it rains.

As I have written before, I have already done an evaluation. My contact with Russellvile has been limited since my sister moved to Russellville 2/6. I would suggest that you contact her sons (Todd and Tim). I will say that my dealings with Russellville prior to the move were extremely satisfying. Shelly was very helpful....taking me on tours (2) , providing lunch , and answering my many questions in a knowledgeable and patient manner. She made my choice an easy one!

What a great staff! The move-in team was awesome and they made mom feel special. They have all made a stressful situation work out to be very comfortable for mom. We feel blessed to be at Russelville.

The Pasadena Highlands' real strength is their thoughtful, caring and helpful staff. Everyone, at all levels, presents a happy, friendly demeanor. The facility is situated very nicely and provides views in just about every direction depending on the apartment that you select.The apartments are well maintained and regularly updated, overall very nice. The food is good but not wonderful BUT the staff will accommodate one quickly if you have a special desire. Just be careful... make sure that this is what you want. When my wife exhibited wandering dementia I needed to place her in a safe place. I moved in to assisted living as well... it does not work for me for a variety of reasons.

Target group is people in their 80s and 90s so that people who are younger come in and find little of interest for them. Activities are geared for the older generation entirely. Other than that, it is a very well-run institution And is a good value.

Small units. Minimal kitchen facilities. Not a lot of storage. Security seemed a little lacking. Minimally smoker friendly. Communal laundry which seemed inconvenient. Nice dining. Good activities. Walkable area with shops in the neighborhood. Affordable.

Well for the most part things are going positively. We have had normal issues with adjusting of course. The staff does respond well and in a timely manner when we have an issue, so things are going well at Carmel Village.

Things are going good. They are going great. I believe that she is doing well there. She has been in and out of the hospital, so she has not been there a lot, but when she is there, things seem to be going well.

Russellville Park is a great value compared to other retirement homes in the area. The staff is great and they make sure they communicate well with the family. The building is always kept clean. This is a great place.

This facility is so sunny and beautiful when you walk in. It is a very welcoming and inviting atmosphere. The staff is very pleasant. The food is actually not to bad here either. Overall, not a bad place so far.

Very nice if you can get the north-facing apt. A pleasant environment. Close to home.

They keep my mom's room very clean. They have a lot of activities they offer. I like the way it is physically set up. All the rooms has a balcony which is good for the residents.

Sterling Place is going well. He is feeling comfortable and settling in. I have no complaints. The facility is clean. The staff is friendly. The value is good. I am very happy with how it's going.

Lovely, Caring, bright and sunny, lots of activities. Some concerns regarding Mom's behavior - they may not take her. She can't have the dog, but there is a resident dog and pet therapy. Memory Care doesn't have a piano.

For the most part we are happy with them. Communication is difficult sometimes. I can tell one staff member things and it doesn't get passed to the rest of the staff. It's clean, and the food is really good, the portions are just large. It's really friendly. We liked the location, and that when I walked in it felt homey, and everyone looked happy and well taken care of.

It was rough in the beginning. My Mother-In-Law is at this facility. There was a little mishap with medication. There was a mistake with the dosage and she was not getting her meds. We were not very happy with that. All in all now that we are getting used to the fact that this is where she lives, we are all adjusting. This was a difficult decision, but it is working out now. I have not been able to visit her yet, but my husband has and things are working out now.

I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. The facility was well kept and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional. At the time of my search The Remington Club had a wait list so we ended up selecting another community, but this is somewhere I would have considered as an option for my loved one.

Older building but had some great green space and a beautiful restaurant. It had the greatest amount of activities available. Sounds like they had parties all the time! Staff seemed quite friendly and enthusiastic. The residents seemed quite happy. The rooms were spacious and they were willing to paint the walls any color you wanted. The only bad thing was that the hallways were dark and dingy looking.

Everything is good there. All the meals that they serve are fine. There are plenty of activities there for the residents to participate in. So far my loved one really enjoys it there at Rio Las Palmas.
