Dial Retirement Communities

The staff that offered the tour of The Montclair were wonderful. They were very friendly and knowledgeable. They were able to address all of our questions and concerns. The community was very well laid out and nicely maintained.

My in laws are doing well at this community. They moved into a brand new building for independent living. They were even able to choose their floorplan. I tried the food it is good and they are well proportioned meals. They offer lectures, a workout room, movie theater and when the residents requested it they put in an ice cream shop. They offer cooking demonstrations and listen to the residents to see what they can do for them.

Nice place, clean, and a lot of activities

In the process of moving my Aunt and Uncle into assisted living my Uncle passed away. It's been difficult but the staff has tried their best to make this a smooth and easy transition. They are very attentive to her needs and Kevin (head of nursing) is just amazing! Initially we were under the impression that they had a 1 bedroom available but when touring learned that wasn't the case. They ended up with a 2 bedroom for the price of a 1 bedroom which was an added bonus! I would absolutely recommend!

I think Arsarben Village is a wonderful place for Mom! The staff are so friendly and caring. Since it's a new place, there aren't a lot of activities yet but I'm sure that will change shortly. Mom's apartment is spacious and beautiful. I don't have to worry about her being happy and taken care of. It's only been a short time since she moved there, but she seems genuinely happy.

I think they are terrific. They are wonderful. The girls that work for them are just outrageous. They work really well with hospice. Brittany, on the nursing staff at Silvercrest, has been wonderful, and goes out of her way to show mom affection. The office people are so nice, and they take the time. It was open and airy, and people were out and smiling.

Things are going really good. She is kind settling in there and everything seems to be okay. It was a little rough at first, but I think "knock on wood" things are going to be fine now.

Everyone is friendly here. The staff is great and even the residents are helpful. The facility is very clean at all times. There are plenty of activities, the food is decent and the facility seem to be well organized.

The overall management induces core values that are displayed by all the key personnel. The facility is run with the residents interests put on the front line of care. The small knit environment provides constant coverage for the needs of all.

We have been very happy with Silvercrest. The staff have been so helpful and caring. Our parents moved here from Detroit, Michigan, where they had lived for 50 years. The transition has been so smooth. We feel very good about the care they are receiving. It has been a huge comfort to us. Many of their doctors come to Silvercrest for treatment, which has made it so easy on us. I cannot say enough good about this place!

I think they are doing very well. My parents are happy, so I am happy. The food is very good, and they seem to be able to ask for less if they want, or choose something different if they don't like the feature of the day, so there are options. My mom is really happy with the beauty parlor, she is happy with the woman who does her hair. The nursing staff and CNA's are very good, and they are responsive. I like that it's a smaller scale place, it's more intimate, and doesn't look like an assisted living place at all, more like a boutique hotel.

Overall things are going well here. it is a nice clean place, and they treat everyone well.

Our starting place was with "A Place for Mom" and Joann Fischbach. Her knowledge and expertise were invaluable. We did not have a clue as to where to start looking without her help. My sister and I moved into Silvercrest at Deer Creek about 5 weeks ago, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. It's a beautiful and well-managed facility, and we have a lovely apartment. We have heard from so many of the residents about how happy they are to be here. This definitely was a wise choice and, best of all, we independently made the decision before our kids had too.

Overall they do an excellent job here! The restaurant service is terrific, the food is good and the wait staff are great. They could stand to change the menu a little more often, however. They also do an excellent job with the activities here, they have a good variety and a lot going on throughout the day. One thing they would work on is going a little farther to reach out to the residents to make sure everyone gets involved.

My father in law has been a resident for about a year at this facility. The people are very good and caring. The food is terrific.. and the attitude is always positve. I pray I get a place like this to stay when it is my turn.

I would recommend to others. I did a great deal of research & comparisons to the other available Assisted Living Facilities in Coralville/Iowa City. Stirlingshire is a mid range option. It is not the cheapest but not the priciest either. The entire staff seem to genuinely care about the residents they serve. They work very hard to offer activities/excursions/programs to engage and stimulate an aging population. Once they finally get the food service to a consistent and palatable level ... this place would be hard to beat. It is a very nice & caring place. The Director [name removed] - and Receptionist - [name removed]are top notch and truly care about the residents they serve. The only reason I can't score it a "5" is because the food has been inconsistent since my parents moved in over a year ago.

Very friendly and helpful if they have any issues and inform staff they do everything to solve the problems.

The staff is very nice and communicative. The activities are limited, but with the population they have, I understand why. The food is bad, but I think that is par of the course of any assisted living place.

Nice place. Some apartments in the first floor look out at a tall retaining wall, so don't enjoy a pleasant view. Pretty courtyard and grounds otherwise. Not many activities offered.

The management here leaves a lot to be desired.
