Cogir Senior Living

My mother-in-law, who is approaching 100 years old, has lived at Avamere for almost 5 years. The first 4 1/2 years she lived in the independent living side of the facility, until she fell, which necessitated moving her to the assisted living side of the facility. The Community Relations Director was a tremendous help during this stressful time. She made sure everything ran smoothly & with as few complications as possible. Avamere is very well run & all of the employees from the Executive Director down to maintenance are professional, personable & they always let you know they are there to help you. The facility is kept in pristine condition & very clean. We are very fortunate we found Avamere & would recommend it to anyone looking for a facility to place his or her elderly parents.

We are leaning toward Cascadian Place or Granite Falls. Which ever has studio when all is settled & we are ready to move.

Where The Heart is staff and nurses is very caring and compassionate to our loving mother. They are very involved in helping her interact in the activities and all events happening for each day. They will come to her room and escort her to these activities. They are always available to assist her for what ever her needs might be. We are always greeted with a friendly hello and a smile when entering the community. We couldn't be more happy to know she is in a safe, warm, clean and secure place, where she is being very well cared for. Thank you Where the Hear Is !

I enjoyed the visit and tour of the facility. [Name removed] was absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately the cost was out of my price range.

Large facility - has separate floors for independent living and assisted living. Main dining hall, or (for assisted living) a small dining area on each floor. Huge library. Clean and residents seem well cared for. Limited parking.

I had a family member at Carillon of North Raleigh, and I was very impressed with the care and kindness of the staff. They went over and above what I expected in helping my difficult family member through several crises. This is a very good place. I highly recommend it!

I would like to tell you about Atrium Village in owings mills , Md. My parents have lived there now for about 2.5 years . This place is wonderful. They take care of the the place and they take care of the residents . The facility is clean , the food is good , and it is an excellent value . Now , I will tell you what truly seperates them. It is the people that work there . Starting at the top with [name removed], to sales with [name removed], to [name removed] at the front desk to kitchen , housekeeping and maintenance staff . Everyone there is amazing . I know my parents are taken care of and the staff treats them with respect. If you are looking, go talk to [name removed] and visit the atrium. I hope my parents are there for a long time. Thanks

My mom lives at the Seville. She liked it at first, but it was still a bit of an adjustment after moving from the home she had lived in for years. Now that she has lived there a while, she loves being there. She loves the staff, and they help keep her room and bedding clean for her. As a family, we have noticed she interacts with others more since they have a lot of different activities going on. It has been a good move for both her and her family.

Great place, great staff, great care!!!! can not recommend this place enough

This is where you want your family!!!!!!! A place that will go above and beyond to ensure they are cared for. My mother does not just sit ... she has a lot of fun & they are always doing some activity or visiting some place. It is very hard to find genuine people & these people exceed my expectations every time.

Lakeshore Commons is exactly what we were hoping for! Wonderful staff, clean, enjoyable activities and special events. Our 96 year old mother is well cared for but is still able to enjoy a level of independence. All costs are included, meals, laundry, shopping excursions bingo etc

My aunt lives here. She is really happy and has made friends, we didn't think she would. The caregivers care deeply and go above and beyond, no matter how hard their job is, you would never know by their smiles. The President, [name removed], is amazing and we have full trust in them.

You can really tell how much the leaders care about the residents. My mom lives there. Every decision that is made, you can tell they put residents first. It is no wonder they won the best of senior living award in Prince William county.

We enjoyed the tour. The Director and the employees were very welcoming and the home was very nice. Really put thought into disires of residents and it felt like it would be a wonderful place to live.

The new management at this location has been wonderful! They are always talking with the residents, taking on new activities and I have even seen them cleaning with staff members. Everyone always has a smile on their face and willing to help anyone with anything. I have been here for over 5 years and it is honestly the best it’s ever been. The food is incredible here and last week we were even offered banana splits! The food and the friendly service help me look forward to each day. The place is so clean and any maintenance issues I’ve had have been fixed immediately. Great place to live and I have recommended them to all of my friends.

We were very pleased at the entire staff of their care of my Mom. She started out as private pay and when she needed to take on Medicaid the care remained just as good. When hospice was called in during her final days the staff continued to be just as caring and helpful to us. Another positive was very little staff turnover which assured consistency. Our community is fortunate to have this facility.

My father has been very happy to have had "The Garden Club" experience. I feel the genuine care and concern of the staff is what gives this place it's most desirable quality, and the food is excellent, they are even going to work on better food for Diabetics, which will help my father. The last time I called Dad (he lives in Bellevue, and I in NY), he had 9 people at his dinner table, and later he was going to play poker with "the guys". He is surrounded by people who love him. His neighbors keep an eye out for him. I'm so grateful that we chose this place. It's clean and the activities are well-planned. I would recommend it to anyone interested in Elder care.

Nice and comfortable community, all the people who work there are very nice, and the place is very clean. It is a few minutes away to our home.

Although my mother in law was there only a short while great experience! Clean, loving, active, and caring staff! Highly recommend

I'm a nurse and I work with seniors who are in their final stages of life, so I visit patients in more than a dozen assisted living/ memory care facilities each week. I ignore the book-lined libraries, the marble lobbies, and the crystal chandeliers; instead I watch how the staff interacts with their residents, what kinds of activites are offered, and how safe the environment is. Empire Ranch is the best of the best. Empire Ranch has an excellent staff to resident ratio. The caregivers know each resident very well so they anticipate the needs of each resident on an individual basis. They know who likes to take a nap at 1PM and who prefers to join in activites. Morning and afternoon are filled with choices: live music, bingo games, arts and crafts projects are offered daily with something different day throughout the week. Their talented chef prepares fresh, delicious meals each day--complete with seasonal fruits and vegetables and ending with dessert. The residents truly enjoy meal times for the food as well as the socialization. (They also enjoy the homemade cookies and cupcakes served at snack time!) Resident rooms are spacious and are decorated by the resident and family. The feeling of home spreads beyond each bedroom with comfy recliners providing places to rest, a livingroom just the right size so residents can converse or watch TV, and a lovely shady courtyard with pathways meandering through the garden. The most important aspect of an assisted living or memory care facility is safety. This is usually the reason elderly family members are moved from their homes: they are no longer safe to live alone or with family--they need 24 hour care. Empire Ranch excels in safety. The residents are monitored closely, medications are given exactly as ordered by the physician, caregivers provide help with dressing, bathing, etc., and those who need extra help or attention are cared for with patience. Often, the elderly get their nights and days turned around; in these cases caregivers are there at 2AM (and all through the night) providing conversation and companionship to those who have trouble sleeping. We may want to have our loved one at home as they age, but sometimes it's just not safe and this becomes too stressful for everyone. Empire Ranch provides the care we wish we could give and they do so with the affection and kindness our loved one deserves.
