Five Star Senior Living

They were fantastic!! We were moving out of state to one of their sister communities, and they were able to do the assessment for us to make sure the move went smoothe. If we had stayed in the area we would have stayed here! we loved it!! They were so friendly and accommodating. Great place.

We really liked it. The people were nice and it was clean. We picked a Morninig side that was a little closer to us, because we liked it so much but it was a little too far away. We are very happy at the Morningside we did choose.

They were clean and friendly. I was concerned with the lighting in one of the rooms, I thought that it was a little dark, and they took care of that before we moved in. They have some activities, I think they could have more but it seems good for their pace, and they seem to enjoy the bus rides. There is a little outdoor space, I would have liked to have a little more outdoor walking room. They have a good size patio, to sit and socialize. The people have all been really nice to work with. The staff really likes her and she likes them too.

We used this place briefly for some respite care for a loved one. It worked out very well and I intend to use them again in the future. It is a nice looking facility, the staff are friendly and professional, and they kept my loved one comfortable and safe.

The staff is very caring and willing to work through any difficulties with the resident adjusting to the new environment. They also have adapted their activities calendar to include favorite activities of the residents when a need or interest presents itself. I would highly recommend this facility!

She always looks nice and clean, and she is eating her dinner. The value is really good. They keep the community clean and the people are real friendly. I can't think of anything that could be done better or improved. I like that everything is on one floor. It's a nice area even the other homes nearby are nice. The dining room looks like a restaraunt with cloth knapkins. It really is just a nice place.

The staff here are so kind, so friendly, and so willing to do anything that they can to help the residents and their families! I really felt like they went out of their way to help my loved one get settled in and situated in this new environment. I really can't say enough good things about them. We had a few more places we were going to look, but after seeing this one we knew it was the one.

I really like them! Everything has been great. The two people that run the place, Caroline and John, have been nothing but fantastic! It's only been a short while, but so far, everything has been great!

VERY IMPRESSED. EXCELLENT MANAGEMENT TEAM. THE NURSE IN CHARGE OF THE DEMENTIA/ALZHEIMERS SECTION WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. THE CLEANINESS OF THE FACILITY WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE. ACCOMADAIONS WERE JUST WHAT I WANT AND EXPECT. THE ACTIVITIES POGRAM WAS THE BEST I HAVE SEEN ANYWHERE IN THE RICHMOND AREA. THIS IS THE PLACE FOR MOM! I WILL MAKE A FIRM COMMITTMENT WITHIN THE NEXT TEN DAYS. FINALLY THE RESIDENT FEES ARE REASONABLE AND ACCEPTABLE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.

Summit Place staff really went out of their way to rush the admission of my family member and they were very supportive during the transition. My family member is very happy living here.

A family member has recently moved into Franciscan Manor and our experiences there so far have been very positive. The administration and staff have been extremely helpful and friendly. The facility itself is quite beautiful and welcoming and the schedule of activities provided for residents there is very impressive. Thank you for this opportunity to express our opinion about a fine establishment.

I was very impressed by this place, and I toured quite a few communities during my search! It was an attractive facility, very clean and well kept. The staff were also all very friendly and helpful. However I don't know if the atmosphere and location would have been something my loved one would be comfortable with. She is from the midwest and this may have been a little too upscale and urban for her tastes. I liked that at this community the base price included the first level of care, with the ability to add more services on later if necessary.

Overall things have been great here, I'd give them 5s across the board! One thing that really stood out to me is that the food here is great! They've got plenty to choose from, and the kitchen is open all day. They have a window of a few hours when they will serve the main entrees, but you can always go in to get a light meal or a snack. The staff are all very attentive, and there is always someone around if you need something, no need to go searching for an employee. This place was my top choice from the search we did for a previous relative, and ended up being what we chose for my aunt during our most recent search!

The Forum is for the older senior. The place is very pleasant. The staff interacts well with the staff. The residents are friendly.

Working with the staff at the Homeplace of New Bern to transition my mother has been a good experience. Catherine Lawrence was kind and compassionate and took the time to answer all of our questions no matter how small. From our coordination of our first visit to the eventual move of my mother, everything has been top notch. The facility is clean and the staff is always courteous. The other residents are nice and I could not ask for more when it comes to the activities that they have regularly. I am grateful that we were able to find a location nearby that could help.

Jules at Devon Senior Living is a gem. This is the first facility we toured and we had no idea what to expect let alone what questions to ask. Jules gave us two hours of her time allowing us to ask questions, tour the facility, explore the activities there as well as provide a history of the building. Upon entering the building we felt a warmth radiating from the residents that we did not experience at any other facility we toured. I didn't know what to expect once we arrived but I had thought I might be disappointed in the facility due to the age of the establishment. It was quite the opposite however. The new parts of the building have been integrated into the old in such a way as to make the entire facility feel like a home. The Memory Care facility is like no other. Much thought has gone into the care and treatment of the residents. The rooms are a good size and I was actually impressed that no room in the Memory Ward has a shower located within. I felt this to be a very secure feature as we are constantly afraid of Mom falling and hurting herself in the bath. We loved the common areas with their beautiful views and open spacious comfort. The facility is clean, secure, happy, and nurturing. We are hoping to place Mom in this facility as we have no qualms about this facility being the right place for Mom and we can be at peace with the daunting decision to have to place her in an Assisted Living Facility.

This is a beautiful place. I ate lunch there on Sunday after touring on Friday, service was great, their menu was marked with vegan options and 'contains milk', they have a lot of variety each day. They have a small but swimmable pool, a fitness center FULL of machines (but no people the two times I saw it). It is larger than Kensington Park (about 300 in Independent Living, I was told, while KP has 60-65), so opportunity to find friends and interesting people or activities seems good. The community fee is $4000. and they claim they never take less than that (they told me earnestly that it is what funds the building rehab that is constantly ongoing). They have four styles of one-bedroom apt, I saw two that are similar except for bathtub/shower arrangement. The one with the shower (which I think I'd prefer) has had kitchen counter and cupboard upgrades. Both are renting for 3499 / month for first year (including brkfst and dinner daily). Each of these has a balcony facing east, so gets the morning sun and afternoon shade. They are both on the 4th floor and look out onto Connecticut Ave, but are quiet when the sliding door is closed. The view (or lack thereof) is one factor in pricing...on the other side of the building there is a golf course, so those apts are pricier. And the higher the floor, the higher the price. Each apt has a small Dish-washer (BONUS!) and washer/dryer set in the apt. Also a bonus. Location is great: very close to Connect. and East-West Hwy, so would likely be able to drive to any of my doctors within 15 mins. Parking at residence is free. If I am unable or don't feel like driving they have a van that goes around a certain route that includes one or two of my docs. They also have a 'club car with driver' for $22/hour, they charge in 15-min increments. They also have a single floor of 'assisted living' apartments. They are the same as those on the other floors but cost $6200-$6500 with additional care.

Really liked. Residents seemed really happy here.

They have a point system here, so I feel like this is a good value. The maintenance people will hang all the pictures for you, at no charge. They took care of adjusting the bed for us, and would have brought extension cords, had we known to ask. They provide a lot of little extras in my opinion. They have crafts, exercise classes, and bingo. I can't think of anything that could be improved at this point. We didn't know little things going in like we had to supply, toilet paper, and things like that, there is always a learning curve. They were very welcoming. Their food is wonderful, they have a menu like a restaraunt and they have two specials for lunch and dinner. They have a salad bar. They have a dietician that has a lot of sugar free options, diabetics and those that have to limit sugar have options here.

The building is very open. There are lots of windows and lots of light that come into the community. It is also a single level community so there is no need to take step or use an elevator to get to dining. The staff is well kept and they are very courteous. The community offers a lot of activities, and it is clean. I was impressed by it is my top choice when the time comes.
