Dial Retirement Communities

I have no complaints of how things went during my loved ones tour of this community. The staff where kind and made sure to answer any questions we had for them

They are changing management companies. Dad has a nice apartment. They just recovered the pool table. The place is lonely for a lot of the residents. They do not have a lot of activities going during the day. This community is in a convenient location. I would say this community may be more suited for a more independent resident.

Our tour of this community was a pretty fair one. From what we saw everything appeared to be well maintained. Our tour guide was great and very cheerful. They were informative and answered all my questions. They offer nice activities through out the week. It was a pleasant tour.

Overall, the place is very good. It is really clean and the people treat the residents with respect and friendliness. The problem is the dining room. The service is so slow, it is nearly impossible. It frequently takes a full HOUR to get your food! In speaking with the dining room supervisor and the front office, they acknowledge the problem, but offer no solutions. I am very frustrated for my father. I honestly don't know what to do. I don't want to stress my father by moving to a different place. I wish management would DO something instead of just blowing off the problem.

There need to be more activities. There is minimal interaction with other residents. There have also been some issues with the timeliness of the caregivers getting to where they need to provide services on time. The menu for the food is mediocre at best.

It's pretty darn clean. The staff is friendly. I think they are a very good business. The food is great, the portions aren't very big, though. They are quick to respond if there is a need or a concern, and they do have lots of different activities. I can't really think of anything that needs to be improved or done better.

It was a lovely facility, but felt somewhat old. To me felt more like a hotel than a home. My mother would not feel comfortable here.

Activities were repetitive, the food was bad, the staff was friendly and helpful, facilities were clean. Apartment was large for a one bedroom.

Apartments are small housekeeping was mediocre. Some of the staff was very nice and many were very helpful. At the time I was there the top management person was not good. Nothing good to say about her and her attitude in 3 words after I moved I heard from a friend that she was fired and escorted off premises. Cost is high. Many residents fear that they will run out of money and then what will they do. Maintenance was very good. It's not exceptional, but adequate.

We used SilverCrest for a 7 day stay for my wife with LBD. The initial review with an intake person indicated we would be charge for 7 days and my wife would have help feeding herself (I had the impression the intake person was new on the job and not too good at it). When we checked in we were informed we would be charged for 8 days and they could not help her eat. They relented on both those changes and my wife was checked in. Friends visited her during the week and found her unattended in a general memory unit where she was slumped in a wheelchair. At the end of our stay they informed us we could not bring my wife back because they were not staffed to help her eat. So the care here was not the best and they are no longer an option to house my wife because of their limited ability to care for the special needs of LBD disabled people.

She was safe and comfortable for 3 weeks respite.

I think a lot of changes have been made... some of the staff were let go which is good!! Some were great and some shouldn't have been there. The facility is very nice and overall staff in the building. Unfortunately my mom was told she needed to be in memory care and had a very bad experience... mostly with the people

mom was there for respite and I don't think they encouraged her enough to get out of her room. Every resident we ran across did they were not happy and planning on moving out. the place was very clean and new appearing. Quality of care - For assisted living probably good quality, but for someone in respite, not attentive enough. mom is a picky eater so hard to say about meals. Activities - Lots to choose from but mom didn't do any so I can't rate it. We just did the respite, I can't speak for the assisted living. I give it a 4 for value.

Nice place, prices are fair, needs better help not as trained or qualified as they should be. Should return funds when they say they will.

Place is great as long as you are aging gracefully. Once a serious illness happens, the care diminished greatly. For paying $[removed]k+ a month, we expected much more in care than was received the last month she was there before hospitalization.

There is no certified nurse overnight just 1 cna. Sometimes mom has gotten the wrong meds at night. At least she knows what she takes so she could correct them. Sometimes they don't get her meal order if she stays in her room so she doesn't get a meal. You cannot sit at any table at meal time. It is assigned seats. Meals take a long time to get your order and a long time to get the food. The menu is often different than what they serve. Food just needs help! Very spicy sometimes.

On Labor Day a couple days ago, we went to the Jackson Creek barbecue with music and a petting zoo. It was supposed to go from 11 to 1 o’clock. Some of us were not even done eating and enjoying the music and the petting zoo and We felt very rushed out. They started closing the doors and taking the music and the petting zoo down at 12:30 and we were just enjoying sitting there and they were breaking up the chairs and tents. We felt very rushed out.. I know the workers are very hard workers and I understand it was a holiday however, if the workers are too tired to put a good show and a good barbecue, then they should have a party team come in and visit with people and serve and make it really a fun fulfilled time without making people feel rushed. There needs to be a lot more live music and extended times. People love music and it helps them relax.

Look somewhere else. Too many people should have been in memory care but not enough beds.

Overall review is mixed. There was some really good staff, but felt too institutional. Well they tried on cleanliness, but there was occasional dog poop in hallway. There was mostly good staff. Meals were not the best. There was an overload of activities. That's not bad, I enjoyed them. But the constant reminders over the speakers in each room, were annoying. No quiet time. I'm paying less where I am now & feel I'm getting my money's worth at my new community. My room was much smaller. As I was leaving this community they were starting to add charges for previously free services. We could not sit around and visit while dining because someone else was waiting for you spot.

There has been a management change since she moved in. I think they need more care personnel in assisted living and in the dining room. There are lots of opportunities for things to do if you take the initiative to seek them out.
