Ark Post Acute Network

Overall we are very happy! The apartment is dated however my mother in law doesn't cook or anything so it's not an issue. That's the reason I gave 4 instead of 5, staff is very attentive and friendly and always call us if there is an issue. Very happy we made the move. My mother-in-law was hesitant to move because she felt she was fine in a apartment by herself however we noticed she just sat and watched tv and had no interaction besides us. Moving her to Lafreinere has been such a blessing! She is safe in her own apartment but just outside her door trained personnel are there if she needs anything. She has adjusted now and is participating in the events and games they offer and we are resting easy knowing she is in a safe environment!

My complaints may be just related to me and our situation, they are specifically assisted living and my loved one has some dementia. They are not credited for memory care, so they do not provide additional care for people who they have like my loved one. They expect residents to be a little more independent than my loved one is, even though they claim to handle that care. I saw something recently that the residents do and they are still having problems with cold food. Overall we have not been very happy with the experience so far.

This community was okay. There wasn't really anything that jumped out to me with this community.

Our family really liked this community when we first went to look at it, we would recommend the Lafreniere Assisted Living and Memory Care to others.

[name removed] was very helpful and able to answer my questions. The facility was clean and didn’t smell bad like most similar places do which was a plus. Definitely considering this sa a place for my mom.

I would recommend it. Some of that's the location - it's very convenient to where I live. It's an older facility, but it's well maintained. They seem to be well organized. It is assisted living, and not a nursing facility, so understand that going in. They have hospice located there if it gets to that point, which is a nice feature. They have amenities that cost extra, like a nurse to administer medication if you need it. They have haircuts in the beauty salon available, and the food is great. My loved ones go on and on about the food. It's not a big place, so there's a not a lot of people. With the staff they have, they do a great job. I have no complaints. If it was a newer place, great, with more staff, great But that would be any place you go. I've been very pleased with it. I have one loved one in assisted living, and another in memory care, and they're both doing as well as can be expected. The activities are more arts and crafts, which I don't know what other options they would have. They have bingo, and upcoming holiday celebrations for Cinco de May and Mother's Day. I wish my mother especially would get more involved in the activities, but she's not an artsy person. And again, I wouldn't know what else to recommend though. But my loved ones have been doing well there. Oakwood's communication is really good too. So many problems are averted because either they will let me know of an issue, or I call them and they jump right on it. They've been really good at that, which has been wonderful for me. They've always treated me like I'm the only one who goes there, and I've been really happy having my family members there.

We had a few questionable moments at this community, but overall they were very patient with our loved one. The rooms were nice about a five out of five, and we would recommend this community to others.

I would recommend Amber Terrace. The community is clean, up to date, and lots of activities for the residents to participate in. It is a large community, this being the only draw back. The managing staff is considerate, easy to reach, and speak to.

Beautiful place. Very large,, almost too large. I worry about Dad getting around in such a big facility. Very clean, wonderful staff. Ms. Jeri is always available and is very very sweet! Residents seem comfortable and are dressed nicely/made up nicely.

Various sizes of apartments available was good. People were friendly as was staff. Good choice of activities. Only negative was assigned dining seating and several dining rooms based on apartment location. Great location and convenient to everything! Mom was impressed and the visit changed her mind as far what “assisted living” can be.

Very nice secure and safe Memory Lane section of an Assisted Living facility!

We had a nice tour of this community. It is a nice looking community, everything looked great. Our tour was kind, and helpful. Everything went well overall, but I did find another community that met our needs better.

We were very excited to find this community we knew it was going to be a good match to mom. She loves interacting with the residents which she has made some very good friends. The staff is wonderful very friendly and attentive they show a guanine concern for all the residents. Mom participates in activities and is loving them. The food is great well prepared. The community is clean and well maintained.

I have no complaints about how things are going for my mother since she has made the move into this community. The staff are all genuine people and I love the compassion they share with all of the residents. I am pleased to see them meeting all of my mothers needs and making sure she is comfortable in her new living environment. She has had no issues with the meals and enjoys participating in the activities from time to time with the other residents. Overall we are happy and I would recommend it to anyone.

I have no complaints about the care my mother has been receiving at this community. The staff have been friendly and helpful to her and have helped her make a smooth transition. The meals and activities have also been wonderful and helping her interact with the other residents a little more. Overall we are pleased and are looking forward to how things will go in the future.

Nice place within my budget, there is a problem with telling my Mom to put on her oxygen machine. Administrator could not understand on the phone the process with the oxygen machine. She had a block. Declined because of the oxygen machine.

Overall I think Amber Terrace is a very nice place. The staff seems friendly, the facility is clean, and they do a great job looking out for the residents. My only concern is that I think they seem a little understaffed, especially during the evening and nighttime hours.

The facility and employees are very nice. My mother is happy there.

The community is clean and well taken care of. The main issue we have is that there is only a nurse on duty twice a day to give out medications and mom requires some treatments more than this. The staff are nice, however I do not think mom is being reminded to take care of her personal needs. They offer activities for her to enjoy and the food is good.

I am very pleased with my new living environment, the staff have all been so friendly and welcoming on helping me make the transition into the community. I have no complaints about the meals and my room is very comfortable. I do recommend they have more organization on handling my mail.
