Five Star Senior Living

I toured the community recently, the history of the building is really neat, the rooms were not like what I saw at other places i think because the building is so old every room seems to be different. The memory unit was really nice, the residents were engaged and doing exercise when i was there. It felt like home, the staff all said hello and introduced themselves, the residents were also friendly.

I have several years of experience with a loved one in Assisted Living. Based on that I can tell you that this place is better, on every level, than any other we've experienced. The staff is just phenomenal. My parents were reluctant to move to a facility, but they now both love it and are so happy here! They offer a good variety of activities. The food is good quality and variety. Communication with the family is excellent. I can't think of one thing that I would suggest they improve at this point. Not a thing. They just go the extra mile here. For example, my parents are baseball fans and always watch the games in the common area. One evening during the World Series, a staff member noticed they weren't in there watching the game and went all the way to their room to check in on them. It's just great. They really have things together and I'm blessed that my parents are here. We knew that from the beginning that this was the right place for them. We didn't even tour any other communities, we didn't have to. I would absolutely recommend them to friends and family.

Sometimes the staff does not return phone calls. My loved one said the food is always good. They would like to get out of their room more. They are expensive. We picked this community because of the high ratings. I would recommend to other families.

Everyone was so nice and helpful. The entire staff was friendly and cared about my mom. My mom liked it there and all the people that worked there. It was the perfect place for her. Another reason we liked it was because it was smaller than others which suited my mom better.

They have activites but my loved one has not particpated yet. They have been very good and have been taking good care of my loved one. I would recommend to other families. We picked this place because, it was recommended by A Place for Mom, which made it very easy for me. Also, It was the first place we went to, and my sibling/loved one loved the place.

The staff are very welcoming, and they treat the residents well. The times that I've had to talk with the nursing staff, it has been good. They listen to you and take your questions and advice.

We recently reached the point in which I had to find an independent living facility for my mother. Brenden Gardens came highly recommended. I met with the staff, reviewed and toured the facility and ultimately chose it as the new home for Mom. The entire experience has been wonderful. The staff are professional, very nice and a pleasure to work with. The apartments and entire facility are extremely well maintained with an environment of a caring home. While everything is great, the dining facility even rates a little higher.

My daughter was sad when my husband and I first moved in because she said she feel like she sent us here to die. I told her it is quite the opposite - she send us here to LIVE!! This home is so much easier, you don't have to cook, clean, or shovel snow. I had a little family now I have a much bigger family and I know they really care. I am talking about both the residents and the staff. They all would do anything to make our life easier and more comfortable.

We love the atmosphere of Fountainview, it is almost like living on a cruise ship. We love the really nice open walkways they have, it is very spacious and very clean but not overly crowded and overwhelming. The staff members are incredibly friendly. Our loved one enjoys the Wii bowling, bingo, the ice cream socials and happy hours. They also have church services. The meals are great and based on our experience we would definitely recommend Fountainview to other families. We do wish every month they would carry over the money not used for the meals - if you do not spend all that money you end up loosing it.

My loved one lived here for Independent Living and it was great. It's like being in a 5 start hotel. She lived on the 18th floor and had an amazing view. If her care needs hadn't have changed, she would still be here. The Assisted Living side here didn't have great reviews and I had heard some not great feedback from residents there and friends of residents. Ultimately, we decided to look elsewhere when my loved one's care needs changed. But I would definitely recommend them for Independent Living.

This community is wonderful with my mom. The communication with the staff is nothing but great. They do offer activities like bingo, but my residents would like more and different game nights. Meals are served 3 meals a day with snacks in between, the food is so good and my mom loves it.

I'm been here for 8 months and I'm very happy for many reasons. The residents are very friendly as well as the staff. The maintenance guys have a sense of urgency and will do whatever is needed.

Staff is very friendly and courteous. Activities are enjoyed by all people who live there and who come to visit family. Dining staff are very friendly and offer a variety of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My husband and I have eaten there quite often. The only thing I can say if your loved ones are of sound mind and can live on their own with no help, it’s a wonderful place to live. Just remember, there are no nurses on duty or CNA’s on staff.

I lived in my home for 50 years and didn't think I would want to leave but I was alone and now I have new friends to eat meals with and do activities with. The residents that live here are always here and it's nice we can socialize.

The tour experience itself was good, but we did not care for the facility as far as independent living goes. It was a bit more depressing atmosphere.

Our mom has been at Morningside since August. She has improved so much during her stay. We are enjoying the experience, staff is knowledgeable, kind and responsive. The care is much better than what we received at a previous community. The memory care and therapy are excellent. Moms walking some!

We chose Premier Hollywood because of that gut feeling that I got, I walked in and said if I needed to be someplace, this is where I would want to be. From the moment we walked in, we dealt with [name removed] and she was amazing. She walked us through from start to finish. The staff has been so accommodating and for her specifically because of her size and special needs. She has diabetes as well and they are always on top of it. She absolutely loves the food. They have plenty of activities offered for the residents. I cannot say enough good things about this facility and staff, I really love them and would highly recommend to others.

I live at Talbot Park on Granby and they get 5 stars in all areas! I would compare it to a beautiful bed and breakfast. To me, I feel like people put on their vacation clothes and drove to the Talbot to visit Virginia. I realize Talbot on Granby is a independent living facility and I would recommended it to everyone. Many people who lived here before have returned. I am fortunate to be at the Talbot!

This facility was our first choice. Love the cleanliness and staff. It's also close to my job.

We were totally satisfied with the community. Hospice was involved with my loved ones care, and we were a little dissapointed. It was two people, who always paid special attention to my loved one. They did a really nice job of engaging with the residents. I would advice other families, to check out other facilities, undestand what you are looking for. They were really friendly. The rooms were clean all the time. My loved had on clean clothes and they always took extra care of my loved one.
