Willow Ridge Senior Living, LLC

He was "living" there for 3 months but spent all but about 48 hours of that time in the hospital or in PT rehab. We moved him out as we feel going forward he will need more care than they can or will provide. The staff was friendly in passing, but the two times he needed their help and called for them, no one came for over 45 minutes

Food not healthy, too much starch. Not enough vegetables, vegetables way over cooked. Difficult having maintenance done in apt. Avies not always posted and done on the spur of the moment which prevents resident who would like to participle unable to do so.

The meals are absolutely substandard for older folks with weak teeth. Oatmeal was the standard dinner, there was no emphasis on nutrition. Providing protein shakes wasn't helpful, as they went untouched between visits. Our mother was out of bed in her wheelchair daily and sat in the same spot all day, where she developed a bedsore that we were told nursing was taking care of. It became so deep that she was hospitalized and subsequently succumbed to sepsis and passed away. So, no I would not recommend Tyler's Mill.

One level, right size overall. Upkeep and lack of follow up from facility when my mother has issues or needs medical type attention and follow up from the outside they say they take care of it all but they don't. My family still has to coordinate and make sure she gets to appointments or when she's needed x-rays or urine test or things like that they're not taking care of it. You get what you pay for.

My Mom lived at Atria then it was sold and became the Village at Towngate, that is when things started to go downhill. My Mom had an aide that was very mean and disrepectful and gave rough showers in a filthy outdated shower room, trash overflowing the trash can and a dirty toilet usually filled with something smelley. The whole place uses the toilet in there. [date removed] my Mom suffered a heart attack while fighting in the shower with this aide. I did report her and nothing was done. She does not assist those who need help toileting at all and lets them sit in wet diapers and also won't come when the call button is pushed. Not a healthy place any more unless you can live with NO assistance. Management is lax and uncaring. Mom went to the hospital then rehab then hospice then died. No one from the place cared kept her mail and overcharged an extra two weeks.

My loved one heard staff talking badly about her referring to her as a profanity that I do not prefer to write in this survey. The activities that are listed on the daily calendar rarely exist. There is very little stimulation during the day for the residents. It’s very disheartening! The floors are always tacky and I rarely see housekeeping. I frequently clean my moms floor in her room when I visit.

Independent living review. Nice at first. They will jump through hoops to get you locked into a lease, then HIKE the rent well beyond the means of most middle-class retirees. Expect a 20% increase annually. They will evict you without thinking twice. Lack of compassion or interest in the well-being of their residents. They see $$$$$, that's it.

Personally, I would obviously not share everything, that's not who I am but considering my father was there a month and a day, passed away and was charged the fee for the year, I believe in exceptions! I certainly did not think that was good proper business ethics! I would only recommend someone that needed assisted living, nothing more because my father was in memory care and did not receive the care he desperately needed which I have to live with forever, however, I would recommend [name removed] highly!

I wasn’t impressed with Atria South Setauket. The rooms I saw needed a lot of work.

The Gables is advertised as an independent resisdence, and they have an aide service, not associated with them right at the facility, for an additional cost. My mother lived there for a few years and was happy. She used the on site aide service, and received pretty good care. My mother died this past year, and looking back, I wish I would have moved her when her health started to decline. I don't think the aide service is prepared for a higher level of care. Also, after continuous calling, texting and emailing, I still have an ongoing financial issue with the owner of the aide service after almost a year. The Gables is a great place for independent and low level dependent residents. The aides are caring and have a low turn over. The main problem is with the owner of the aide service. I just don't want another family member to go thru what I have.

Don't assume anything is being taken care, just stay on top of it. The general staff is good, but management is not great. They've failed to notify us in advance of doctor appointments, so we've missed them. When we confronted them, they simply said they were sorry and they're trying to do better. We just received notice that fees are going up. I have not been very happy with them.

At first loved this place...it is nice and homey - two buildings with 25 seniors in each. Food - breakfast is the only half decent meal. Lunch which is the heavy meal is usually a dried up pork chop, potato/rice and a dessert. Dinner which is light is soup (usually tomatoe) and old premade sandwiches Forget planned snacks as advised ...unless a planned snack is graham crackers all day and maybe apples Staff-some are lovely - but wish the balance of them had compassion Activities - a joke - unless you play bingo Trips - if the van is not broke down then maybe the dollar store or odd lot If they would improve on all above then I would suggest having a loved one live there BUT right now they need NEW management

I received a phone call from Legacy at Maiden Park and shared with them the care that I am looking for for my dad. They were concerned that my dad has a catheter and that they couldn't assist him with it, if he needed it. I spoke to the nurse at that facility, she confirmed that they could not take him because of this.

I visited community several years ago and was very impressed with staff especially management but went back recently to look for loved one and how much has changed and not positively. Not impressed at all and would not choose. I thought place was upscale but with current management what a disappointment

I would give this a fair rating for assisted living; however, for memory care, I would rate it poor. It's a small facility, two buildings containing a total of 48 units. There is no secure area for dementia residents. Dementia residents need extra attention and structure, and I don't feel they would get it here if they can just roam around the building with other residents. There is no reception area. People sign in and out in a book on a table by the entrance. Families enter via a keypad by the door. It doesn't give one a strong sense of security for a family member with Alzheimer's. Staff was friendly and personable, but I didn't see activities going on, other than the rosary being said in a group.

It was kind of dirty and smelly so my dad and I were both pretty turned off by that. It was more expensive and a lot of the rooms didn't have a full bath, just a powder room and you had to go down the hall to take a shower. I though for the cost you should at least have a shower in your room. This might be a good thing for some people but at Atria we saw a lot of people coming out with their dogs and cats. My brother is allergic to cats so if my mother went there he wouldn't be able to visit her. Again, that could be a good thing for some people. It was just dingy and smelly, especially after seeing one that was so clean and bright.

There is always a revolving door of staff. Very upset over the poor quality of food served. My parent is there and they have been through numerous help/cooks within a short period of time. Very poor housekeeping there. Pay a very high rate for loved one to be there and stuff that should be included they don't even do, so please don't be fooled from their brochure. They do not provide snacks, and the housekeeping is very close to null. But on a plus side, the activities director is great. But the management is left to be desired. Very poor management.

Unfortunately, our experience with Fields of Florence was so bad that our loved one was moved out of the facility in 30 days. Too many empty promises and disappointments with subpar food, mediocre care, and insensitive local management when it came to our legitimate concerns. We will never recommend Fields of Florence to anyone. They need to tell the truth at the start and keep the promises they make to new residents and their family members.

The cleanliness and the staff would get a 0. Awful! Don't send people there. What they could improve on would be Cleanliness!!! My mom's room hadn't been cleaned for weeks, if not longer, and smelled of feces. They tried to argue that it was checked after I complained and was clean.

My bro was there one hour before eloping Went back about a week later to the secure area and lasted 24 hours before elopement Oversight / security/ observation lacking Met with administrator ( he was not forthcoming ) Made promises in regard to refunds that still have not happen -- ( that meeting was 2 months ago ) He won't return phone calls Talked with corporate - awaiting on return phone call that they said would happen 2 days ago. I have never as much sent a complaint letter in my life or even done a review I understand that some places my not be good fits, and I accept that Our family accepted that after what happened and was ready to move on. But the follow up meeting is what pretty much set things off with misrepresentations, promises that we're not kept , and subsequent radio silence. Improvements needed: -better screening -actually do what you say you will do( if you don't know how to redirect an Alzheimer's patient , don't say you can - return phone calls -when mistakes are made, admit them, and move on , don't misrepresent, or lie about them - follow up on what you say your going to do - there is no reason for someone to be spending hours/days trying to get you to do what you said you would do
