My experience at Benchmark at Orchard Valley

The facility itself is dated. However the staff is lovely and seem to genuinely care about it residents. The food was somewhat sold as 5 star but it is not. It's however decent. I am overall very happy so far with the care mom is getting. I will always appreciate "A place for moms' guidance while I was looking.

I would recommend, but with changes

I think for the price the staff could of checked in on my mother a bit more often, she has since passed away. Meds were left out, room not cleaned on the scheduled day and laundry and bed sheets were not laundered, I took her clothes and bedding home most weeks. Aids sitting in hallways on there phones

Amazing place. It is clear that the staff's primary concerns are the residents' well being, safety, and enjoyment of their life at Meadow Ridge. All facilities are generous, lovely, and well maintained. Communication is not only facilitated, it is frequent and comprehensive. The residents go out of their way to welcome new residents and help them settle in.

Settling into an Assisted Living Facility after Independent for 91 years!!

My brother in law who is 91 has been a resident in the Assisted Living section of the facility for almost 2 months. He has settled right into his surroundings wonderfully. The staff has been wonderful and kind. He goes regularly to the dining room and compliments their cuisine . Although he regularly has peanut butter sandwiches for lunch he keeps to his routine .There is a walking trail which goes right around the facility. It is all paved and marked with plenty of benches if he gets tired. 4 times around us a mile which he is aiming for. Walking is a big part of his day so we are glad he can continue safely.

Review for Cabot Park Village

Exceptional people. Including the Management and Staff, and if possible even more significantly the residents. I think that would be gilding the lily. I can say that I used to be responsible for customer service and the overall patient experience at a large health facility, where one goal was exceeding patient and client expectations. Service quality and caring has been uniformly superior and a direct reflection of the service leadership of the Executive Director of the facility.

I find the staff very friendly and welcoming. Although the resident I am related to doesn't take enough advantage of the activities offered, I think the activities are very well chosen and planned. The number and variety of activities are especially impressive. I find the facility clean and well maintained inside and outside. I find the meals well prepared and presented. Overall I appreciate the location, maintenance, and operation of The Village at Mariner's Point.

Our family's solution

Overall, we are very pleased with the care and attention our mother (mom-in-law) is getting at Atrium. We had a glitch on day one and I must say, the staff was super helpful. The staff is very responsive whenever we have a question or concern. There is always someone on admin and nursing staff to help and they seem to have spent time really getting to know her and work on her specific needs. I can't rate the food at the highest level because we can only go by what she has said--she used to mention the food was excellent at her old assisted living facility and now she just says okay about the Atrium. So I'm not sure if that's an accurate rating for food. Obviously, the question of value for money is a difficult one. Everything is so expensive. We can only compare it to our experience at her former facility and we feel she gets so much more care and personal attention here that it's well worth it.
