Sonida Senior Living

When I came here I was taking 34 prescriptions, between their chef and the care I've gotten, I'm now down to 14. I've been in three other independent senior living communities and The Waterford outweighs all three by a lot! They are always there, for example: I had a low blood sugar one time and the girl at the front desk found me a small can of pop in the middle of night to help me get it back up because I didn't have any juice or anything. They do things like that, they take care of you. The office staff - meaning the administrator, the driver, the girl who does the crafts, and accounting - when they are shorthanded in the dining room, they will help serve. And that is something I have never seen. I've actually seen them help move furniture and things like that when they were cleaning out apartments after an overnight stay. It amazes me because the staff in other communities would not have done that, it was beneath them - this bunch is not like that at all. I enjoy the activities, like bingo, movies, and we're going to a farm tomorrow to pick veggies and play with the babies.

Being (by far) the youngest resident, wheel-chair-bound, I had to move to an AL facility because I could no longer stay home by myself. That said...living at GTP is, for me, the next-best thing to "home". The building is older, but in very good shape, and of a classy kind. The facility "grounds", with landscaping, mature vegetation, walkways, are awesome. Nice patio area with seating and, HA, a full-size heated pool. Many organized activities are just not for (given my age and background), but I see many people around me enjoy them a lot. The "dining room experience" .. that simply is of another level. Open 7am-6pm, with selected "specials" for breakfast/lunch/dinner, plus an all-day open menu.. its like dining out every, minus the check (and tip) ! Staff is professional, caring above-and-beyond, management is strong and always in resident-first "mode". Been here for almost 2 years now, and do not foresee moving...

I found everything was fine for my loved one here. The staff handled any concerns appropriately. The communication with the family was good and the staff were willing to work with the family. Some of the activities offered to the residents included exercises, games, and more for the residents to participate in.

I couldn't imagine finding a better "home"

Safe/secure building. Common areas are always clean and neat. Apartment cleaned by staff (rah, rah!!) (my neatness iffy). Staff are always helpful

I have a large apartment- very nice -large bedroom, washer/dryer/ shower etc. Large closet and complete kitchen.

I like living here because the facility is clean and inviting! The staff are very helpful and pleasant. The new improvements are greatly appreciated. I enjoy the activities as they enable us socially to make new friends

Activities they have a great program with many options constantly going on. Would certainly recommend to others, it was a transition but overall is a great place. She has settled in as took around a month or so but is getting comfortable and is making several friends at The Wellington at Dayton.

My loved one has lived here for a couple of years. We love the programming since Lisa Badura started three months ago. There has been such a positive change. The residents are having fun and always busy.

Very happy with the care our mom receives. The Amberleigh is truly home.

Most of the staff are kind and caring. My room is very suitable for my needs. I do wish the alternative meal choices were more varied (examples: slice pizza, ham sandwich, grilled cheese), because I do not tolerate fish.

I have NO complaints.

My mom lives in AL and we are very happy with the care and environment. Mom is very happy here as well.

Friendly services, help with phone, tv, writing, filling out forms!

The staff here actually care about the residents, you can tell that it is not just a job for them. They pay very close attention to her habits and wants and needs. They have been great with communication and call me with any sort of updates. They have a lot of activities offered for the residents, they keep them very busy with things like games, movie nights, yoga classes, etc. I am so blessed to have found this facility for her. She absolutely loves the food as well. I recommend The Etta all the time for people looking for care for their loved ones.

From day one [name removed] and the rest of the staff of the memory care unit went above and beyond to make dad comfortable and content. They worked with us to make sure his medical needs were met and even though Covid kept us from coming to visit, they made sure dad could come out to the courtyard and visit. They made his transition from home to fulltime care as easy as possible. If there were a way to give more than 5 stars, I would give them 10!

Memory Care unit. Great staff! [name removed] is a great manager.

The staff at The Heritage at The Plains at Parish Homestead is terrific and very patient. I am happy to be here and am well cared for.
