Better Living

I believe the residents need a bit more supervision. The staff are good to work with if the family has questions or concerns about our loved one. There are three meals a day served to the residents. The community provides an activities calendar for the residents to view. The staff are good and keep in touch with me about my loved one.

Was a very warm and welcoming tour, residents seemed happy and very active.

Emery place offers something that I have not found any other places to offer. Is it called closer care and it is where the memory care has been changed from a medium to large warehouse to small pods that contain approximately 10 people. In doing that, they are with the same residents consistently in a smaller setting. In the space my husband is in there is a large room with several tables and chairs, an activity area, and a kitchen area. Down the hall it is an L shape and there are 4 apartments on each wing. You are able to see everything from one space so people are not as left out or isolated -it is a very good plan. On the negative side all of these places are having a terrible time trying to hire quality staff. The staff here are quality and they are great people, but they are inconsistent in their shifts.

Staff keeps busy with lots of activities and can be very social with other residents. People are encouraged to be out and about, enjoy live music, karaoke, and chat with all. Outside events are very pleasant and host with community. Help was expedient when injured as well.

the atmosphere is beautiful. the rooms are really clean, they try really hard to plan activities for the residents. the food is decent and the director was really easy to work with. we just felt like it wasn't a good placement for my loved one due to a combination of things. they seemed short staffed, which I'm sure played a part in different areas. my loved ones needs were maybe a little more than what could be adequately served in an assisted living community. it wasn't a good match for us, there were issues here and there that didn't work - but we did witness other seniors really thriving in that community and living their best lives! it was a short stay, as they didn't get to stay as long as we had originally planned.

We had a good tour and I really liked the facility, it was just not the right fit for my mom. There were no activities and it seemed dark with not a lot of community space. I think it would be a great fit for individuals who liked to spend more time in their room rather than out and about with others.

This community was not as updated and did not have as many amenities as the one community that we were really looking into. The memory care unit was also not as focused as what we were looking for.

Mom was here in January -March, when she fell and sent to Hospital til April 5th...They did NOT want her back, due to liability issues etc. THOROUGHLY enjoyed staff, etc.. Just Wasn't to be for mom at THAT time of her Early Onset ALZ. and my Voicing on her behalf. Had she started in Memory Care, as Dr. Recommended, might've been different.VERY NICE Facility and Staff!

I was really impressed with this community and the tour I was given was very well done by the staff. They took their time showing me around and they answered all my questions. there were a lot of amenities for the residents. I really liked this community but my mom already had her heart set on another community where she felt she would be more comfortable.

The people we met at this community were friendly. The community was clean and looked well taken care of. They did seem to offer a lot of daily activities and they allow pets. This community was just a little out of our price range.

I have no complaints with how things went during my tour at this community for my loved one. The staff where on time to our appointment and where very professional during our visit. They did not make us feel pressured and really took the time show us everything they had to offer in there facility. I liked the floor plan and thought they had a lot of great amenities available to all of the residents. It was just not the right location in the end decision.

The lady that took me around Emery Place,[Removed], was awesome. She was very good at what she did and she was committed. she met with me on a Saturday and the facility was clean and well maintained. It was a good experience but not the best fit for my loved one.

Back when we looked at this community, it was mostly memory care and there were only a few residents. They have since opened more rooms and are able to accommodate more residents with different levels of care.

I have lived here at Sunny Brook for almost 2 years. I enjoy getting my room cleaned and my laundry taken care of. I come and go as I please. I love the trips we take to the different casinos every month.

Sunny Brook fits my need perfectly. The staff is always friendly. I love not having to worry about my laundry or housekeeping needs, they take care of it all for me.

I'm very well taken care of, the staff is always friendly and very helpful. I'm very lucky to be able to live here. I have made some wonderful friends as well.

From the community that my mother came from, the Bickford has been better in many ways. They're still learning, but they are willing to solve problems and they contact me for anything. I like that I can see that they are trying and they are taking good care of my mother.

In the search for an appropriate place for my Mom, "A Place For Mom" was helpful, in that they took our information and made several appointments for us to check out. It was during that experience that I gained the knowledge about the kind of place that would be best for My Mom, and that being one that is smaller and had a more 'hands on' approach for her care. That is why we chose Brookdale Blaine for her, and so far it is working well. It is soon to be sure, she has only been a resident there for a little over 7 days. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

The staff at the community are friendly & helpful. I have not eaten there but I have been there at meals and mom seems to like it. There seems to be a good selection and variety. She likes to participate in bingo, exercise classes and community meetings. The community is clean and I would recommend this community.

Our loved one with Alzheimer's has adapted really well at Emery Place. It's been an easy move compared to other nursing homes, probably because of the staff and the environment of the facility.
