Sinceri Senior Living

My uncle is 91 years old with "Alzheimer's Type Dementia". I found, the hard way, that a nursing home is not a good fit for this diagnosis and that mentally he declined at an alarming rate. Here at Autumn Leaves these past 2 months, I have seen him improve so very much. This place is like a home versus a "facility". It has spacious living areas which the residents enjoy; 2 beautiful cozy, themed dining rooms complete with designer fish tanks; a family room----just take the tour! They have a very well trained staff, a great nurse and medication aids-----best of all, my uncle is very happy there. We took him home for Christmas yesterday and he could hardly wait to get back, he didn't want to miss out on anything!

From the moment I visited Farmington Square and met Carey and Jill I felt at home and knew it was the perfect spot for my husband, Curtis. Farmington Square even came out to my house and transported Curtis for me. They did everything they could to help make the transition smooth and when an emergency health issue came up they handled it with ease. My husband passed away after only seven days but everyone at Farmington Square treated Curtis and myself like family.

The care is really good. The people there are so sweet and kind and I think that they're doing really well. The last place my mom was at she never participated in anything. Here, they have her out working on puzzles, making cookies in the activity area with the other ladies. I don't think she's done any of the activities outside of the place yet but I do know that they're really good about getting her to do things inside. I can't imagine any place that my mom would be happier than where she's at at Farmington Square. All of the people go out of their way to acknowledge me and the other visitors. They take my questions and suggestions really seriously. I'm really pleased with Farmington Square. From my understanding, Farmington Square is family owned and has been with the same family since it started. That probably has a lot to do with it.

With the help and guidance of My Mom's Place, we helped my 85 year old brother move to Library Square one year ago. Since then he has become a new person. The staff there has been over the top helpful to him and us (we email them if we think he needs help with anything as we live in another state). He has made new friends and taken part in activities there. We consider it a wonderful place for seniors and could live there ourselves. The cost (below) varies by which amenities are chosen.

My mother feels very comfortable and cared for here. The staff is very nice and caring. Everyone understands dementia and is very considerate of the resident. This is a warm, caring community where my mother has "come out of her shell". It is low key, but has activities going on for the residents.

My dad's very messy and they don't clean as often as I think they should, it may not be their fault and I know when he was living in my house his room had to be cleaned every day. The staff is wonderful, one time I was coming down the hallway and they didn't know I was there and there was a bunch of them getting ready to go on a trip and one lady in a wheelchair reached out and touched a nurse who was walking by. The lady turned around and started talking to her and then put her arms around her and was hugging and kind of dancing with her. She didn't do it because anyone was watching and they really care. My dad is a smoker and they caught him smoking in the building, he can't be in control of his cigarettes, so they keep them on the med cart and dole them out to him so they're very accomodating.

I'm just going on the part my wife is in. It's very clean what I have been in. I've been in the games room and that's clean. I think the cost is fairly reasonable with what the other places I've checked out. We have a fixed amount. The only extra thing I pay for is the medication management. Other than it's about the same price as the others so overall it's not too bad. The activities, they say they do as much as the can. My wife has dementia so it's hard to nail down which activities they're actually having without being there all the time. If they don't want to do it they don't force them to do it. I'd like to see a bit more in the exercise section. They really needed exercises every day, I think. It really depend on the people I guess but in my wife's case she could do exercises. I like that they use a lot of their own produce in their kitchens from their vegetable garden. Where my wife is, is quite good. It's very good in fact.

It's kept extra clean from what I can see and the staff is wonderful. They know every residents name, they know their room number, they know their preferences, they are very, very personable, helpful and I can't say enough about them. I can't comment on the activities because my mom is a loner, I think she has gone on a couple of bus tours and enjoyed that and done yoga, but other than that she doesn't participate much. She says she likes it very much, better than where she was before and she's definitely eating better. Another wonderful thing about Myrtle Beach is even though it's in sort of a metropolitan area, there's all grass and trees when you look out the windows and you don't see any of the other buildings. She used to complain about all these ills and pains and I have not heard her complain once since she's been here.

This is a wonderful place first class all the way.

It's awesome, no nursing home smell so that was the first thing I noticed when I walked in there, they're very friendly. After checking other places I feel I'm getting a very good value, the care is great, it's very comforting to have her there because you still worry but they're watching after her like she's their own mother. I just like the set up and the way the rooms were set up, it was kind of all inclusive for any level of care, a lot of the other ones increase as the level of care increases so this worked much better. They have an education follow-up with everyone, once a month they host a support group for alzheimers at their facility, like the 3rd or 4th thursday once a month, they do a speaker and a dinner at night for the people like me who have people there. There's a lot of educational type things so you can learn about dementia/alzheimers and what stage they're at. They're all great people there and I really can't say enough good about them.

I would give them a 5 easily, those people are just wonderful there. They just really care about the guys and the patients and I just couldn't ask for more. I couldn't have chosen better, they've taken everything in stride, we had to do a little tweaking on the medications but we got all that straightened out and they took a lot from him but they took it all in stride. Farmington was very convinient and I was really impressed with them, they seemed to be more gentle or something. Once I got him there I realized there were so many reasons I should have chosen them in the first place had I known all the wonderful things they had. I trust them completely, they're about the nicest people that I've ever met, great people work here, they're hands on with the patients and they need that. I would recommend them to anybody.

My mother was there for 4 years. She was very happy there. She was the first person in the memory care wing when it opened and everything was perfectly fine because she didn't have any kind of nursing needs to speak of. She just needed the supervisory enviroment. She loved the idea of having her own bathroom in her room. It was brand new and sparkly clean. Her room looked out on to the quadrangle with gardens and walkways. It was very attractive, bright, and cheery. Everything was just fine until she fell and had to go to nursing care. Also, towards the end of her stay there there began to be turnover in the staff that caused a massive breakdown in the continuity of care.

I would say the value for the money is really good and the staff seem very legitimate, like they really care about the resident. My mother-in-law really seems to like it. She likes to do the nail care, like you can get your nails done. The food is good too. They're extremely accommodating with that too. My mother-in-law has a little dog and sometimes they'll give her a little extra piece of chicken or something to take back to the dog. She thinks that's just awesome! Elmcroft sort of feels like you're walking through a really nice hotel.

Mary Catherine was amazing. She went above and beyond to show me the place and make me feel at ease with this difficult transition. I think that we are going with Elmcroft, seems to be best fit for our situation

It's very clean and they are very friendly. From what I'm seeing, the activities seem to work just fine. It's been a good experience. I would tell people to look into it and see if it suited them. I'm very pleased.

Very nice place. Mom was impressed. She hasn't made a decision to leave her home yet, though. She would like to see some other places to compare.

I liked Hudson Creek very much. The facility was clean and smelled clean. The enclosed garden space had nice landscaping and was peaceful and quiet. The residents looked cared for. One resident who kept joining my tour was gently redirected. All my questions about care details were answered competently. I would not hesitate to place a loved one there.

My sister has been in there a week and seems to like it a lot. She doesn't require a lot of care. They give her her meds and they've done a good job with that. They seem to be very cooperative and helpful. When she was moving in they were good about giving us things to use, like a dolly. They installed grab bars in a timely manner and are very attentive to people with greater needs, from what I can see in the hallways. My sister says their meals are good. I think they provide a good variety of things to do - shopping trips, wii bowling, bingo, card games, services on Sundays, picnics. There is a family night coming up where friends and family can go to a cook out. It's up the person if they want to participate. She's getting out and about and socialized.

The staff and the community have been very accommodating and helpful during the process. Elmcroft just met all the needs we had when looking for a community. There have been a couple of small issues with miscommunication but they are being worked out. Overall it is a good community.

It is different than a lot of other places I saw. My mother has her own room in a ranch-style home with 6 other women and a caregiver that lives there 24 hours a day. I like it because it's more like being in your own house than being in a facility-type place. It's expensive but a lot of these places are expensive. The residents get breakfast, lunch, and dinner but it's not like they can go into the fridge any time they want - they can't. There are a lot of activities but my mother doesn't take advantage them. I wish they could make it a little more personalized that way - if you're not going to take advantage of the activites then you could pay less. It's a beautiful place on 72 acres with ranch homes and two building-like facilities there. If you want a more normal, home-like experience for your parent or relative, this is the place to be.
