Sinceri Senior Living

They need better staffing and they lack in the cleanliness aspect. They don't have very many in house doctors, they're more of a lock down facility but they aren't memory care. They had a few activities but they did encourage more television than I would like. She liked it in the beginning but as her memory declined it just isn't condusive to someone who needs more care. I found cups that had mold in them and food left out in her room, the smell was not very good and they kind of gave excuses and said it was a recent thing. I talked to the main guy there and he said they would work on it but then it would happen again. They said they didn't have enough staff to care for her like she needed and that I should pay to have someone come in. She was so unhappy towards the end and would just stare at the ground, she couldn't communicate and it got to the point where we needed to go.

The most disturbing issue about Elmcroft is the care giver to resident ratio. They use novis hospice in house to care for the residents. They just don't have enough staff to check on the resident . They tell you that they will care for them and how often the check on them but when you move in you notice they don't do it as often as they said. Each time we have been there no one has come to check and we don't see them around. The one big plus about them is that they have a beautiful courtyard where the residents can sit and relax, which was really nice.

The staff was very nice and accommodating but when you walk in the atmosphere is not very uplifting seems a little depressing. The food wasn't very good. They do offer higher levels of care then other communities which is probably why it has that atmosphere. They have pull cord int he rooms and bathrooms but are suppose to be changing over to the pendants. They have a small enclosed courtyard where resident can relax.

Only have one opening, but someone is coming in to sign a contract for that room today. They can put you on a waiting list. They have 11 semi-private rooms and 5 private rooms. Basic cost for semi-private room is $4100 per month with additional costs depending on level of care needed. Nurse comes and does assessment. Additional costs per level: Level 1 = $475; Level 2 = $675; Level 3 = $875, Level 4 = $1075 and Level 5 = $1275. Do not take Medicaid.

I chose Elmcroft for the services they offer but my expereince has been rocky. A lot of things we are paying for they haven't come through on. There is a consistency problem, liners missing from trash cans or not having any diapers. The people there are good and working with us. We hope these inconsistencies are soon fixed but for follow through on services we pay for I'd give them a 3.

25 March 2013 toured. Senior mgmt very experienced. Nice environment - pocket areas for residents to be alone but out of room. Current maintenance person not very skilled. Calendar not overly full on a daily basis. Helpful in explaining importance of State certified vs. Nurse certified Med Aids. Did not go with this facility due to cost as it relates to other quality facilities I visited. Would trust the care provided by this property. Not a fan of the semi-private rooms that have one entrance and both beds in one room for a man who is still mobile. I assume women would handle this layout better.

Small. Only 3 detached houses, and the masters are too small for a Cal King. The patio looking at the Whitford ball field was nice. Baseboard heat and electric stove felt very apartment-y. No skilled nursing, so it's just food and basic activities, with an available bus. good food. Memory care available if you are already a resident. Across from Red Tail on Scholls Ferry

Had toured Layton Terrace in early Feb. I believe. My concern with Layton Terrace is their limited participation in Family Care and emphasis on personal financial responsibility, giving the impression that when you run out of money you're out the door. I was impressed with the facility but not high on my list because of the financial impression.

seems ok-informative-friendly

good location. Compared to the Beaverton location the rooms here have bathroom inside each apartment. RN has been w them for only 6 mo. Clean, quite. They charge 20% more than the BEav location for a private room. Also, I would have to arrange for any neccesary doctor apointment.

Older place. Rooms were very small. Maybe only 12x12. Other wise it was clean and ok.

Nice, friendly, some odors, residents looked to be zombie-ish.

Plus - 2 bedroom apts with good size and facilities. 2 levels of Assisted Living care. Nice area of Waukesha. Minus - Long corridors with elevators to apartments. Different levels of Assisted Living care means different locations. Keyed elevator for dad will be difficult. No activities noticed during visit(9:30 am). Environment a bit sterile. Estimated $7200/mo

A possibility, but my mom is NOT going to like the idea that the apartments do not come equipped with stoves.

It was nice.

shared studio, separate bedrooms, levels of care are high dollar,

$3000 for 2 ppl, 2br $4000 (available now by dining and activity). Spouse fee: $0. Community fee: $1500. Level of care: Basic med supervision $360. bathing/dressing/ $285.

Clean, friendly staff, too much like assisted living and nursing home.

Liked it but the old style rooms smallish and tight in hallway/bath people around clusters of 4 rooms in hallways

Smoking in rooms only.
