Five Star Senior Living

I had another family member that lived here for several years and was really happy. The food is pretty good, and we would have come here, but they didn't have a room available, at the time we needed one.

-For a senior that is still social, this is a perfect facility. Lots of activities during the day.. -Heartlands NEVER smells bad. -Wellness Center knows each patient and calls them by name during the day. - I know my mom is safe in this facility. - I know her meds are being given each day. Employees of Heartlands are very cheery and happy.

They seem to be taking decent care of her, but she is at a rehabilitation community as of the time of this review. I don’t have a lot of strong opinions on this community, but as I said, they seem to be doing a decent job.

My loved one was only here for a brief time, but overall I think they do a good job at Morningside of Decatur. It is a very well run facility, and they do a great job keeping everything looking clean and well kept. The staff are all very friendly, and they do a great job looking out for their residents.

Darlene helped my mom transition the The Forum. I really appreciated her attention to detail, care and concern! It made the transition go smoothly!

They are very clean and friendly. They are pretty attentive and responsive, and they have plenty of activities. The only thing is that they hate the food. There have been various issues with service, the vegetables aren't cooked enough, and sometimes the fish is overcooked. Other than that we are very happy.

Still contemplating this also. Rooms are bigger.

My mother and I were so impressed by 5 Star that it made her decision easy! She had not yet committed to moving to independent living when we visited the facility but everything about it helped to make up her mind. She moved in last week and so far so good!

Not near LGH but very nice place. They have a waitin list for studio but 1 bedroom may be an option

I trust it for my mother. There were a couple of reasons for picking this community. One was that they had an opening and it was close to where I live. Her room was spacious. The food is very nice. The people are very caring.

This is really a great place. Great food, extraordinary amenities, 40 acre campus, well manicured. So many activities that you have to choose what you want to do. Very friendly, very helpful staff and residents. For what you pay, you get a bargain. I looked at 10 places and this was by the less expensive and all of their costs are "up front". No surprises, or add ons. If you complain, they give you the benefit of the doubt, and make it right, even if you might be at fault. Because it is off the highway, hidden on a hill, it is quite. You can lease a villa, or an apartment. The Forum is negotiable to a certain extent on move in prices. They have people to help you through the process until you get settled. Free Chauffer service to meals at the Forum, Doctors' appointments, grocery, hair dresser, practically anywhere from 8:30 to 3:15 (return).

My mother is very happy & doing so well at Overland Park Place. She is going to exercise class , playing Bingo, Cards, does not miss any of the entertainment that they bring in from speakers on health to music. The food is great because there are choices for breakfast , lunch and dinner. The food is very good and the portions are sized for the older adult. My mother says she is at the perfect place for her. My sister and I go see Mom no less than 4 x a week. It is always clean and the people are happy.

My mother and father both were at Morningside due to Alzheimer's , dementia, and medical problems. The Director, nurses, CNA's, dietary, PT, Hair dresser, the Ladies that painted Mom's nails, and Activity Coordinator were phenomenal! My Mom had to be placed on the secured Memory Care Unit and my father was on the Assisted Living side, close to that unit's door. My father could go in anytime and help my Mom and he could participate in activities and be social with the residents in Assisted Living. Morningside made the last days of my parent's lives comfortable and the compassion was beyond my expectations! Bless you all!

For my uncle recovering from gastrointestinal surgery, it was most important to provide him tasty food to entice him to eat. I personally visited 6 different sites in SA and found The Forum had the best tasting. Another requirement, in addition to the basic ones, was beautiful grounds as he loves nature. Of course the basic items of friendly, competent staff and building and room cleanliness are great at The Forum and were essentially great at the other 5 facilities that I visited. The Forum provided a week's respite apartment and allowed us to bring in 24 hr nursing attendants. This arrangement -- comfortable housing, beautiful grounds, good food and 24 nursing is working extremely well for my uncle who is now on his way to recovery. Thanks to A Place for Mom for finding it for us.

HeartLands made a great impression with well maintained facilities, lovely grounds, and many options for residents to remain active. We visited the independent living residences, which offered several options for type of unit, layout, and location. The common areas such as the dining room, library, barber/hair dresser and exercise/physical therapy room were clean, well maintained, and pleasant. The grounds are bautiful and offer lots of space for those that enjoy walking outdoors. A clear winner within the half a dozen communities we visited.

Very helpful and super sweet. Helped our Mom feel loved and right at home!!!

My mother-in-law spent four weeks in the Rehab to Home wing recovering from surgery. The nurses, therapists, and all support staff were extremely friendly and caring. The two less than perfect ratings were because they left her anti-embolism stockings on too long and the activities are not stimulating enough for patients who are not very incapacitated. Regardless, she was pleased enough with the overall friendliness, cleanliness, beauty, and food that she surprisingly agreed to move into independent living. While she was anxious about being alone, within a week she has blossomed and is enjoying meeting people who are her peers. The dining hall and activities she has experienced in her first week have made her a very happy person. Thank you, Pueblo Norte.

Everything has been great here so far, we're very pleased with the community! It's a nice clean place, and the staff have all been very friendly. My Mom really seems to be enjoying herself here, and if she is happy I am happy! She's had nothing but good things to say about the food, as well.

They were a nice community. They were clean and friendly. After going there we realized it wasn't the right care for our loved one, but that was just because of our individual situation. They did a good job.

I think they have been doing a good job so far. Everyone is very friendly, and they all have a smile on their face when they greet me. I am glad I did this. This was the best value of all the places I looked at.
