Five Star Senior Living

This is probably at the top of my list of the 5 communities initially given. I like the campus layout in Brochure and had a good email exchange with [name removed].

This community has been very great, and it is kept clean. the value has been good and the care services have been excellent. Due to COVID they have stopped most of the activities but they do have somethings online.

I would highly recommend this community. Compared to other communities in the area for the price. The staff are always friendly, and always interacting with residents and families. They have made an exception for me to come in and see my loved one due to them being on hospice. I've been given a COVID test and answer questions. This has allowed me to spend time with my loved one daily.

Huge facility, great layout, close to the downtown area, rooms are a bit dated but amenities make up for it

We chose Overland Park Place because the price was very good, the food was great, the rooms are spacious, and it is very close to my house so we can visit often. The meals are all chef prepared, they have specials of the day as well as a menu with variety along with a salad bar. The dining room is very nice and accessible for residents. They have just opened the dining room back up for limited meals since COVID. The best part about the community so far has been the staff members. They all seem to know her and have a relationship with her as well as all of the other residents. I get a weekly update about the infection level and there has been no cases of COVID. I would definitely recommend this community.

Overall we are very happy with the people at this community, all of our request from them for personal use had been great, they are very accommodating. The value for this community is good. We are very pleased with how they have handled COVID, they have had no confirmed cases. Our first impression of Carriage House was how nice and clean this community was kept, and the willingness of the staff to show us around was great. We also appreciated their willingness to answer all of our questions, sometimes it wasn't always the correct answer but they still answered out questions. The rooms are this community are more than adequate.

I would recommend the community, the value is good. I have been pleased, and not sure if you can get more for the value. I know what we are paying, and am not sure if my loved one would partake in the other benefits at other communities. The community has had a lot of turnover with staff. Their administrator had come on last year, and they already have a new director. My loved one doesn't care for the food; however it's one person's opinion.

We chose this community because they had a lift that my dad needed and they were one of the only facilities that could provide this. My dad is in a bigger room and it is a very nice size. They serve the food restaurant style, they have a menu with choices for the residents. My favorite part about this community would be the friendliness of the staff members and knowing he is taken care of. I would recommend Carriage House Senior Living.

We chose Carriage House Senior Living because of the cleanliness of the facility and the accommodations they were able to provide. The room sizes are adequate. My favorite part about this community would be the location, it is out by a lot greenery. I would recommend this community.

Washington Township was always kept clean, we thought the value of this community was very good. We really liked the overall look of this community, everyone there was extremely friendly. The rooms are good size and very nice. The residents always played bingo, and arts and crafts. It might of been simple but everyone seemed to enjoy it. The food was good, they did have a variety for the residents to choose from. We were very with Washington Township!

We chose Leisure Park because it had good ratings, it was clean, and the people seemed more friendly and knowledgeable. They also had independent living apartments that were nicer and larger than other places we visited. The food here is good, they have a lot of variety and my dad loves it. My favorite part about the community is they are friendly and accommodating. I would recommend.

I've been to visit my sister, and she seems to be well taken care of. It appears her room is getting cleaned. They are starting to go back to activities. I would recommend it to friends. The room is decent and my sister seems satisfied with the room size.

While my in-person tour was restricted due to Covid-19, [name removed] was most helpful in describing the apartment layout along with detail of the unit paint/carpet scheme. It would appear that Forwood Manor management has instituted very strict safety requirements (gowns, masks, gloves, face shield), which is a sign of their concern for the safety of residents and employees. [name removed] is a wealth of knowledge about the facility and the management company. I saw residents walking outside on the property wearing appropriate safety masks. From the outside of the building, I saw that the apartment I was considering has 2 big bay windows, which look ideal for plants. Forwood Manor appears to be a nice place to live.

They treated my mother well. It was a very clean place. They had activities for the residents, if they didn't want to do the activity, they did try to push. We did have a private caregiver with my mother. I'm not sure if my mother was not truly on her own. Having a private caregiver in, I'm not sure with the community if that made a difference. I'm not sure it made a difference at all. My mother never complain about the way she was treated. The caregiver did have to remind about medications. However, that happens in some other communities as well. The value was really good, it was about twice the cost to put her in a community down near me in DC. It was an eye opener for me due to the cost. She did remember some locations when going on bus rides. I believe my mom was happy there. It was a very pleasant place. Overall I think they treated her very well. They knew her name. When I visited they treated her well and everyone with dignity.

The staff at Five Star Premier is pretty friendly they are very attentive to the residence, they seem to really care about them. Due to mothers physical condition she isn't able to participate in the overall activities they offer to the residence. They do have live performances and lectures, they will have members of the orchestra come in and give performances. They have great social activities. My mother seems pretty happy with the food, the rooms are very nice.

It is really a beautiful place. They have two courtyard areas, a theater room, a spa room. The food is good. I would like to see them bring in someone to do hair for the residents. They also have a community room where they do a lot of activities and an art room where they do residents' nails.

We chose this community because of the Montessori program, it was recommended by a neighbor. We also chose it for the cost. The food is excellent, they have a good variety for the residents. They got a new chef right before COVID and her food is great. Our favorite part of the facility is the heart of the caregivers, they love all of their residents and are very patient. They are also a smaller community so the residents are more individualized.

Would rate this place a 10 out of 10. It is a remarkable community, the food is great, they have a full size pool. And make fresh cookies, and fresh fruit, and fresh lemonade everyday. The location is absolutely amazing, its breathtaking. The staff is absolutely wonderful. They have great activities, such as bingo, they celebrate veterans day and birthdays. They have a happy hour once a week! They have church service. Its absolutely remarkable.

I was a caregiver for my husband until [date removed]. When I interviewed at Legacy Heights, I knew it was the place my him. Everyone was knowledgeable, informative, very kind and led me through the process which was extremely difficult for me emotionally. I am extremely pleased with the entire staff at Legacy Heights. From the caregivers, nurses, administrators, dining staff, front desk, activity directors, maintainence staff and ALL employees (don’t want to exclude anyone) are amazing. The care, respect, attention and kindness are only a few adjectives to describe the level of care my husband is receiving. When Covid hit the level of care, attention and work ethic reached a new level. Legacy Heights had already become my extended family but with COVID I found they cared about the patients and families emotional and physical well being. They did their best to meet the needs of everyone as they tried to stay healthy them,selves. Such dedication should be commended. I am indebted to all those at Legacy Heights trying tokeep my husband healthy, engaged and safe. I’m so thankful and feel blessed he is in their care.

The staff was very on top of everything and there was never a time when I thought they neglected the cleanliness of the community; it was as clean as I would keep my own home. The staff was all wonderful. They were fantastically attentive to what was going on and getting it out in front of you. They were always very willing to help no matter what time of day.
