Five Star Senior Living

Everything about our experience with Morningside of Decatur has really been wonderful. My mother is typically not one to get involved, but here she really has gotten involved in the community and with the activities and is really enjoying herself. They have really outstanding people that are really friendly and help out in any and every way possible. Mother has been there for about two months and thus far everything has been great and I would highly recommend them.

I toured this facility while helping a loved one look into senior living, and I was very impressed by what I saw at Leisure Park. The staff here were incredibly supportive throughout the whole process, they were right on top of any questions I had or any information I needed. When I visited all of the residents I spoke to seemed to adore the place, and had nothing but good things to say about all the activities and the food.

It took me a little while to get settled in and used to things here at Pueblo Norte Senior Living, but since I have everything is going fine and I am good.

My grandmother lived at homeplace for several years and it truly lived up to its name: it became her home. The staff took excellent care of her; they loved her and became a part of her family. It is hard moving a loved one from their home, but homeplace made the transition so much easier for her (and us). The place was neat, clean, and always smelled nice-no "odor" like we found at some facilities. The food was delicious-we ate there with her many times! Homeplace always had activities going on and she loved that. She looked forward to telling us what she had done that day. I would highly recommend it for your loved one-it will become his/her home too!

They do a wonderful job at The Palms at Lake Spivey, it's like night and day from where we were before. The community is absolutely beautiful, and they've got all sorts of walk paths and even a rose garden. The staff here are friendly and helpful, and they've got all sorts of activities to keep everyone entertained. They also do a great job with the food here, lots of choices, and it is fresh and made on site! I highly, highly recommend this place!

So far we're very pleased by how things have gone at Somerford House! It is a nice looking place, and the staff have all been very friendly and attentive. They've been very flexible and proactive when it comes to caring for my parents, and I appreciate that they're willing to make changes at a moments notice if it means they'll get better care. I would advise families to double check that Somerford House has been thorough with their assessment, my parents were admitted into their assisted living, but a few days later they were moved to the memory care unit.

I have only been to this facility once. The facility was very clean. Everyone was very nice. They have great food though. Overall, it was nice.

My experience with the Overland Park has been excellent. It is outstanding. It's very clean and the staff has been great. Everything has been going great. This facility is just outstanding.

Morningside at Belgrade is located just off of Route 288 near the Robious and Huguenot Road shopping centers. It is located in a residential area and I immediately thought the location was perfect for easy access to anyone coming to the Richmond area to visit. The feeling I got upon entering the facility was energy. I came by at 2:30pm so typical meal times would be over but there are flexible meal times at this facility so there were residents in the dining room eating. I was introduced to the resident chef and shown the dining areas. The look and feel to me was of being on a cruise ship. There are enough residents that there has to be an early and late seating in the dining area to accommodate all the residents at "regular" meal times but, as I understood, residents could come for a meal at anytime during the dining room hours. The dining area was restaurant style with a menu and an actual display of the menu choices as you entered the dining area. There are also daily a la carte choices. If you like fine foods and feeling like you have the dining flexibility of living on a cruise ship, look no further. There are also snack and hydration stations around the facility. I liked that there seemed to be multiple activities going on throughout the floor that I was on and most residents seemed to be busy and engaged. Truthfully, if I were to choose a place for myself, this would probably be it. All the residents that I saw seemed in good condition, calm and happy to be there. There was one lady who appeared to be from the Memory Care side that was demanding to be released. This seemed to occur right after an organized activity ended. I thought the staff member speaking to her was very appropriate in being understanding and not arguing with her. Eventually, she calmed down and went on to other activities. The rooms are to a standard that I saw everywhere and that standard is nice. This was the least expensive assisted living facility as far as the price I was quoted for my father. I looked at the inspection reports for this facility at the Department of Social Services website and nothing stood out to me. There were violations but they mostly seemed to be in complying with regulations and not serious patient concerns. I am glad the inspectors are very rigorous and that the information is available to the public. The one serious item reported is probably embarrassing to the facility but it was also self-reported by the facility which I find to be an extremely good sign about the character of the people who run Morningside at Bellgrade. I found the report encouraging because of the obvious health of the resident who escaped memory care. The person was found and returned in good health as well. This highlights another thing I liked about Morningside at Bellgrade, their physical therapy facility. The physical therapy room is similar, although a smaller version, to those I have seen at hospitals. I felt confident that my father could receive the physical therapy he needed.

I have found Dogwood of Gainesville Top Notch. Everyone on Staff is focused on the People and grounded in the proper way to work with all lining there. We have been at the Dogwood only a month and I believe that my inlaws are learning to fit in. This is not an easy transition and will take sometime and we will be there to help them. the staff at Dogwood has helped and encouraged us to go to Caregiver Meetings.. these are very help full .

Great atmosphere and friendly/attendant staff. Dining and daily activities noteworthy. After a month and one half, very satisfied with choice.

I can't say enough about how sweet everyone is here. This is the place, The Gardens of Bellaire is kept spotlessly clean. Everyone does their job and doesn't complain. I love the food. 98% of the time you would say this was a great dinner. I really do enjoy living here. I really am lucky to be so close to my church and living here. I love everybody! On a scale of 1 to 5 I rate this place a 6!

Overall we are very pleased with how things have turned out with The Palms of Mount Pleasant. The people who work here are fantastic, and they were a huge help throughout the whole process. They really made the transition and intake process smooth and stress free. The other residents have also been very friendly and welcoming to my loved one.

The people there at Granite Gate Senior Living are amazing. They are all very kind. It is very beautiful here. I tell everyone that I meet how wonderful it is. I am very happy. They really go out of their way to help out in any way they can! I can not think of anything at all they could possibly do better!

So far, so good. Mom is content. The food has been good. They clean the rooms once a week. I would rate them highly, a five out of five.

We have toured this facility and were highly impressed

Leaving her home of over 50 years, our Mom moved to Fox Ridge Manor in April 2014. The administration and staff welcomed Mom into the community and provided love and support to make her transition as easy as possible. My sister, brother and I never second guessed ourselves that we had made the right decision. Mom recently had to move to a different facility as she has progressed to the next stage in her life's journey and requires an increased level of care. The day we moved Mom from Fox Ridge, the administration and staff greeted her one last time with warm hugs, and tearful goodbyes. There actions spoke VOLUMES! Without reservation, we certainly recommend Fox Ridge Manor.

It's going very well so far. Mom loves it there. I would rate them very highly and give them a five so far. Everything is working out really well.

Our experience with Overlook Green Senior Living has been a very good one so far, it is a great fit for my loved one! The staff here are just very nice and loving people, you really get the sense that they are genuinely interested in the happiness and well-being of the people who live here. They also do a great job with the food, my loved one has had nothing but good things to say! Another nice benefit is that the facility is all one floor, which makes it much easier to get around.

I am very pleased with the care my mother is getting at the Gardens of Scottsdale. The caregivers and staff are very pleasant and individualize attention for the residents. I can sleep at night knowing mom is safe and and getting excellent care.
