Koelsch Senior Communities

My father-in-law moved into Sterling Commons in [date removed] after his dementia advanced to the point he could no longer live safely at home. From the beginning he would rave about how attentive and friendly the staff were and how delicious and plentiful the food was. He was reluctant to participate in any of the many activities and outings they had to offer, but they always encouraged him using patience and good humor. Finally, one day, he agreed to take a bus ride to a local lake and when he returned home to Sterling he called us and raved about that, too. As his family, we got such peace and comfort knowing he was so happy and that he was being so well taken care of. My father in law has recently passed but we still keep in touch with the staff because they all - from the front office to the nursing staff became friends and family to us, just as they did to my father in law. We will be forever thankful that God was watching over us and that He led us to Sterling Commons.

I looked into this place for my mom. What I found first was how welcoming the staff are. From that first call in, they listened to what I was looking for. It was a hard time for my family but they helped us.

I have been in the Canterbury Inn many times visiting. It is such beautiful place. Seeing the people that live there, you can tell staff care for them. The staff are friendly and smiling. They have really worked hard during this hard year we have been in. I can't wait for them to have their Bazaar again. I would love to live here.

My mother has enjoyed living at Canterbury Inn for the past 7 years. After investigating all the retirement homes in our area, we concluded this one was the best. Comfortable apartments, well-maintained, a lovely spacious dining room with 3 meals a day provided, nursing staff available 24 hr a day for any emergent situations, wonderful senior activities programs. All this factored into Mom’s initial decision to reside at Canterbury. But what I have learned since then and what is most important to me is the caring, warmth and thoughtfulness of all the staff towards my mom. I have complete confidence that my mom is safe and well cared for. In my interactions with the staff, they are always patient with both my mom and myself, obviously caring, go out of their way to help, conscientious. As a retired nurse, I appreciate when medical related issues have occurred with my mom the staff has responded quickly and accurately assessed the situation, giving me confidence and peace of mind.

Our loved really enjoys the meal and dining services, and from what we have seen the activities seem good. With COVID it has been so hard, but they have been very cautious. They made a blocked room where you can see your loved one through a glass window. Our loved one seems pretty happy, and she feels safe there

We chose Cedar Creek because they had developed a relationship with the organization before he needed memory care, so they had get to know you activities before they built the facility. They also did events with people so it was a very easy transition. They have kept in touch with my mom ever since we have lost my dad, the staff is very personable and they handled the whole covid situation very well. I would recommend to others.

We chose Waverly Inn Memory Care Community for our loved one because it seemed like a family atmosphere and the people who worked there truly cared about the residents. The benefits our loved one received from being in this facility are for one, she got her self worth back; second, she is kept busy all day long, and last but not least, she got her own shower, which she loves, in her room instead of down the hall. Now she can take a shower whenever she wants instead of just once a week, like at other facilities. Before Covid, the community took the residents on field trips!! I would recommend this community to everyone who has a loved one in this situation. It is the best out there right now. The community allows your loved one to keep their dignity and independence as well as caring for them as if they were their own relative.

Sterling Commons is the ONLY place that I would trust with my mom. My Grandpa (her dad) had Altzheimers and somehow my mom found Sterling Commons for him. They treat every resident and the residents family like family. My mom always said that if she needed to go to a Memory Care Facility that she would only want to live at Sterling Commons. She told me that all the time, so when the time came that she needed more care than I could give her, I felt so relieved that this was the place that SHE chose. We both visited my Grandpa all the time so we knew what a great place it is. The food is excellent. The family room has recliners and even residents in wheelchairs are helped out of their wheelchairs and into recliners. They are comfortable like at home and are interacting in the many activities. Especially now with COVID and not being able to visit her every day. I know that they are taking great care of her both physically and mentally!

The rooms and overall layout would be a five out of five. Before COVID we were able to eat some meals with our loved one and the food would also be a five out of five. We would recommend this community to others.

This community was phenomenal. Everything the staff did was top notch. I would recommend this community to anyone for their loved one. The genuine care from the care staff to the residents stands out. It never felt like a "job". The care staff truly cared about the residents. It is truly a family atmosphere.

Spring Creek Inn is a wonderful facility. I moved both of my parents there when they each developed significant (but different) cognitive issues. The staff were so patient with them when they had a difficult time adjusting and help me learn how best to communicate with them. When my father died, the staff continued to care for my mother like family, which was a relief for me because I live at quite a distance from Bozeman and could only visit every 6 weeks or so. The nursing staff communicated regularly with me about my mom and every time I visited, I could see how much everyone there, from the housekeeping and dining staff to the activities managers and the caregivers took a personal interest in my mom’s well-being. They became our family and we are so grateful that they made they last five years of my mother’s life as rewarding as it could be.

Spring Creek Inn was a very good facility, and our loved one received really good care. The rooms were always clean and neat, and we thought the food was very good as well. We would recommend this community to others.

We were so lucky to have found Cedar Creek in Edmonds. They were fairly close to family, have 24hr. nursing care (important to us when choosing) and made settling in easy. They have been absolutely wonderful with resident and working with family. They are loving, caring and treat us as family. We love the staff. Good choice!

My Mother was greeted warmly when we first arrived and it hasn’t stopped. The activities are plentiful and she seems very happy. All the staff has been great.

pre covid we were able to visit and it was very nice. It had a good atmosphere and didn't seem like a retirement facility. the sizes of the rooms are pretty good and the food is decent. I would recommend this community

[name removed] was the director who provided care for my Aunt [name removed] and our family could not have been more pleased. [name removed] has a heart for all those she serves and has a way of really helping out with difficult almost insurmountable situations. She’s a real find!!! The world and senior care needs a lot more [name removed] !

My father-in-law was a resident at Soloana At The Park until his recent passing. He had been a resident for 2 1/2 years and our experience, including his was great. The meals were great, his apartment was comfortable and the care he received was outstanding. Upon his passing the staff went out of their way to assist and comfort him during his last few days as well as extend every courtesy to us during a very difficult time. If the need arises that we would need this type of care we would select Solana as our first choice.

I would tell people that I am grateful the my loved one is there, during this difficult time. The community has been exceptional at keeping the residents safe during COVID. Cedarbrook has been really creative at allowing visits for the residents and families. There have been window visits, virtual visits, and drive by visits for families and residents.

If you can get your parent in there and can afford it, do it. When my mom passed they did everything the could to make that time easier on her and the family Large room sizes, the food is adequate but they have a variety. What was most important my mom felt well taken care of. The community was nice outside, and there is a courtyard for the residents to spend time outdoors. I definitely recommend this community.

After my husband's strokes and trying to care for him at home, I found it necessary to find a safer and more eyes on place for him with his wandering and stroke deficits. I have found that in Cedar Creek. I am working with [name removed]. She has been completely helpful with my placing of him, his admission and him settling in to Cedar Creek. [name removed] is knowledgeable of stroke and memory care issues and understanding for the family's needs too. Putting your loved one in memory care is extremely difficult but [name removed] helped me with the whole process with understanding, caring and useful knowledge. She is always available for questions or finding out how he is doing on a daily basis.
