Senior Lifestyle - Main

McCullough Place, from my initial visit, has gone beyond my expectations in assisted-living. The staff is helpful, cheerful and accommodating. The facility is clean and well-designed. A passive glance from a large, elderly dog who occupies a spot in the front entranceway always makes one smile. McCullough Place's pet-friendly atmosphere allows residents to benefit from continuing to interact with their precious pets inside their residences. Meanwhile, in the general McCullough Place population, the wishes of those who prefer no pet interaction are accommodated. Rooms and laundry are cleaned by staff. Delicious meals are chef-prepared and ordered from a menu. Residents are well-informed by staff of impending mealtimes and activities like yoga/exercise classes, speakers/entertainment, church services, crafts, bingo and activities like my favorite, Happy Hour, which is an uplifting event for all residents who attend as they sing along to piano and accordion music. I wish I could show the happy interaction of residents (one of the liveliest is 104 years old), the entertainer and employees, but I do not have these individuals' permission to do so. Instead, in conclusion, I will include a picture of me, enjoying the upbeat music and a glass of wine. I'm also forwarding a video of the pleasant accommodations. (Thanks for asking my opinion. I know I've verbosely included too much information ~ please delete anything irrelevant. I've toured so many glum and depressing group residences as a guardian ad litem for juveniles and alleged incompetent individuals. I sincerely thank you A Place for Mom for recommending McCullough Place, of which I was unaware although it only involved my mother moving 1.5 miles. Thank you for your assistance in finding a peaceful place for my mother.)

The staff is very helpful. The move in process was easy. The facility is clean and the décor is beautiful and up to date. The food is very good and the waitstaff in the dining area are prompt and kind. There are plenty of activities available to the residents and most of the residents we've met are very kind and helpful as well.

Location was perfect in relation to our home. Very warm and welcoming and supportive staff as well.

I would recommend. I picked this location because of the proximity to my home. Also the small number of residents. Overall presentation of the facility.

I love the independence and the fact that I can be friends with everyone. I have a lot of friends here. Everyone is kind, friendly and talkative. I couldn't ask for better.

The facility is always clean. Housekeeping is wonderful. The food is great, there is always a lot to choose from. Although my loved one has not gotten involved with a lot of activities, there is a great amount for all interests. The staff is so very friendly and helpful. It is really a great place for Independent Living.

The entire staff was extremely professional, kind and hospitable. This applies to everyone from the receptionist, admissions team, housekeepers and care providers. They were very patient with me and my mother while we navigated this difficult time with my father. The housekeeping is extremely clean and sanitary. The apartment was furnished with everything my parents needed during their stay all the way down to bath towels and dishes. All they had to bring was their clothes and toiletries. The communication was excellent. They were also very proactive about following up with us. We never had to remind them twice about anything. The on-site restaurant was nice with three meals a day provided. The on-site complimentary garage parking was very convenient for my family. I would highly recommend The Residences at Thomas Circle to anyone. We could have not asked for a better facility. They were amazing.

I like all of the activities at The Breakers, like improv class, the presentations, sing alongs, and Scrabble. Also, I appreciate the transportation to groceries, museums and the symphony. I love my beautiful apartment with a view of the lake, great light for my plants, the quiet atmosphere. And I enjoy the oven as well, since I still love to bake! The dining room and front desk staff are also very helpful and kind.

I like the trips to places like Disney exhibit The Elmhurst History Museum and a brewery recently. And the people, I have many friends here if I were in a regular apartment I wouldn't see as many people.

It's such a warm and friendly environment and feels like a community of dear friends. From the perspective of a daughter I like to know my mother and Aunt have so many activities to attend and they are always celebrating something! I know they are safe and well cared for.

I like being with people all the time instead of being by myself and that it's pet friendly so I can pet the dogs on the elevator! Also like the variety of exercise classes. We are lucky to have excellent musicians perform here!

All of the staff is very friendly. The food is above average. [name removed] was extremely accommodating. I feel like my dad is safe there. I would 100% recommend them to others.

I would tell a friend, that this is a good place for me to I like having meal choices and the view is wonderful. I am happy at Acclaim. It is a good place for me. Thanks for your assistance.

The staff at Park Creek is so caring and understanding from the director to the cleaning staff and everyone in between. My mom has been through so much and moved from other memory cares to rehabs and I've been so disappointed with the lack of compassion from management and staff. Park Creek promised to be different AND they have delivered. My mom is always clean. They change her 3-4 times a day as seen by the loaded laundry hamper every time I visit- which is almost every day. The communication from everyone is also incredible. I've never had such a great experience at any other facility. I'm so grateful to everyone at Park Creek. My mom deserved better and now she lives with the dignity she deserves.

Best pricing options. Friendly community. I would recommend 100% everyone is very nice and helpful.

Evergreen is a great facility and what drew me to them was the environment and the people that helped me initially [names removed]. But since my loved one has been there, the regular staff has been just as good. The apartment is very nice. The food is good. But the one part that really makes me feel I made the right choice is the activities. My dad is suffering from Alzheimer's, so to have activities to take part is is huge. I would 10 out of 10 recommend Evergreen and am very thankful that we were connected with them.

[name removed] and [name removed] are incredible and show genuine care for not only the residents but their families. Absolutely would recommend this community to others! During our initial tours some of the residents even expressed how much they liked it there. Felt good knowing it wasn't a "show" they were putting on.

I would definitely recommend Aspire at West End to others. My mom always has something to do. Whether it be swimming, going to the shops, working out, making a craft, or enjoying a meal with a friend. She loves the warm environment and positive energy of Aspire. I love visiting her there. The apartment is cleaned weekly and it is well maintained.

What I like the most about the Lake Barrington Woods community is the staff. The staff here are great as well as the meals that are prepared! I would recommend this community to other families based on my experience so far.

It's a nice enough place. I feel like the outcome wasn't as I was told at the beginning. I picked Addington because I liked the look of the place. My mother's room is adequate. The price was less than the other places.
