Senior Lifestyle - Main

This would be the best local choice for my sister, if and when she decides to make a move. The tour was very professional, but there were no actual units available to tour. That was frustrating.

When my mother said that it was time to move from her home of 47 years and relocate closer to my family, I jumped at the chance to show her The Barrington of West Chester. She fell in love with it - and we couldn't say enough nice things about her experience there. The staff really cares about the residents - and they work very hard to make sure that everyone who lives there is comfortable and has a good time. My mother's move to The Barrington was a great move for all of us.

Very nice property, clean and well kept. The staff was very informative and helpful.

We're very pleased with the placement here from A Place for Mom and everything is going just fine.

From the very beginning, Royal Estates has made the transition of moving my loved ones a very easy experience. We are always greeted with positive attitudes and professionalism. Angel and the entire staff have been helpful every step of the way. The facilities are always clean and newly renovated. We would recommend Royal Estates to anyone looking for an assisted living home for their loved ones.

I loved everything I saw, including the splendid view of Lake Shore and downtown from the apartment I've chosen. The amenities are great! I know I can be happy there.

love it but too expensive for my parents - mother in law lives there and she loves it

Seems like a nearly perfect match.

The Woodmark is a wonderful place, it is completely different and much very then Brookdale Place at Valencia. They have 5 Registered Nurses that truly take care of the residents. The staff actually checks on the residents about every 2 hours or sooner. They are very well organized. They have a wellness center for the residents. They way they manage the medication is just fantastic. There is always someone to talk to, you can call 24/7 to check on your loved one and the person that answers the phone would be able to tell you what is going on without having to pass the phone to someone else. They are just a fantastic community that I would recommend to anyone.

The Renaissance is currently being remodeled, a lot of the first floor (which is the common area) is blocked off. However, they did a nice job of boarding up the areas being remodeled to contain the noise, dust, and debris. A one bedroom is priced at $2750 for independent living (as of July 2013) and they review your rate on the anniversary it can go up between 2-4% (which is in line with other facilities we've seen.) There is a one time move in fee of $1500 that goes to community maintenance costs, like an HOA. They have a library with the daily newspaper and a coffee shop. They also offer assisted living, which costs more, and an on-duty RN. If your loved one uses life alert it can be linked to the front desk so they can respond first. They clean resident's apartments and do linens and towels once a week. There is a community washer and dryer on every hall or you can hook up your own units. The rent covers every bill except for the phone, so it includes basic cable and internet access. Residents also get a continental breakfast and one meal of their choice. They are putting in a wine bar, and have a theater for movies. The café offers coffee, pastries and snacks. They also have an arts and crafts studio. The residents and staff here were both very friendly.

My 92-year-old father recently moved into Walden Place in Cortland, NY. I cannot say enough about how pleased and relieved I am to have him surrounded by such caring and competent staff, as well as friendly residents. Walden Place is set in a rural area yet is very close to shopping. The physical environment is bright, fresh, and well-appointed, activities and outings are plentiful, and the three daily meals are wholesome and delicious. What impresses me the most, though, is the number and quality of staff, both clinical and non-clinical, who continually engage with all residents - stopping by to remind them of activities, rounding twice during the night, keeping track of medical appointments, medications, and needed lab work, and providing transportation to appointments. This inclusive approach is a very different model than the retirement complex from which my dad moved in Florida. Not only am I happy that my father now lives close by, I can rest assured that he is in good hands. I can’t thank Walden Place enough!

wonderful warm goal oriented facility

My mom is moving to Cincinnati from a small town and this beautiful former winery/brewery home SMELLS great! NO mothballs or medicine smells. All I can smell is flowers and popcorn! My kids say it looks like a mansion/resort we use to go to as a family back in West Virginia. The staff has been so patient and my mother can be demanding. We hope to continue to work with Kathleen, Stephanie and help mom to transition to Cincinnati. I think that if everyone is as nice as the folks we've met so far.........Evergreen will be a perfect place for her.

My mom likes the amenities and activities available. It seems well thought out and very organized. The gardening and art room are things she would really enjoy.

We were impressed. It felt comfortable, and warm. It was clean, smelled nice. We had lunch and enjoyed the meal. The residents were dinning and talking with each other. We appreciated the way the staff interacted with the residents. We liked that you can come in for independent living, and go on to assisted living, along with memory care all in the same community. 2nd visit This is still one of our favorite places. We noticed that in addition to the discreet handrails, they also have benches along the hallways, giving a place for residents to sit and rest along their way.

Really nice.

They have been my first choice!

A wonderful building. I like everything about it!

I liked this place the best.

Spoke with Maureen who sounded very warm/friendly. Personalized assisted living, total care nursing home.
