Great place for my love one

My uncle loves it there he has meet new people and even made friends there. I am glad that he is there. He gets great care and the price is in his price range. The staff there are nice and very friendly. The meals all homemade and you can get other stuff if you don’t like what they have on the menu for that day.

Happy with Lakeway

We have found the staff to be very helpful and willing to consider new ideas. We are happy with the choice that we made at Lakeway Travis Independent Living. They have been working very hard to make things better with the food, and have had some success. The service in the dining room is much better. The menu could use more variety and consistency in the preparation of food. It depends on the cook as to whether the meal is good. Once again, we have more monthly town hall meetings and they are aware of the problem. They have changed food distributors, and the supervisor usually comes by each table to see if the food was good and if everyone was satisfied. So it is being addressed.

Welcoming and friendly

The staff cares for residents like their family, checking in on them if they miss meals and helping them adjust to their new homes. The facility is updated with tile floors and blue/gray tones that feel clean and soothing. If I were of an age, I'd stay there.

Our family experience at Creve Coeur Assisted Living

Our experience has been wonderful from day one! We have been really pleased from the beginning. And that still holds true. I think the ladies who clean the little apartments could do a bit better job, but I am very picky about that! They are still one of the least expensive as well!

Great Choice

Rated as a 4 for the quality of care in the memory care section. Staffing was short to give enough care needed for all residents. I was glad to be there mostly every day to help out, and witnessed the shortage. But I would rate 5 in all other categories. The team does try very hard to keep up and create a great life for the seniors, with activities, entertainment, friendliness and food choices.

Super Nice Place For Our Mom

After a lot of looking at places for mom, Green Oaks Senior Living just seemed to be the right fit. One super unique aspect is that the property is located adjacent to the Old School Forest Preserve so the residence can stroll there or they can just stroll around the lake on the path that’s on the grounds of the property. The interior decorating has some of the best aesthetics I’ve seen at any place. It is very light filled high-quality construction with nice architectural details. There are a lot of common spaces where residents can have a place to go to to relax outside of their apartment or meet with visitors or participate in the activities provided to the residence.

Caring Staff Meticulous Attention to Details

The staff is well trained, caring and work exceedingly well as a team. The facility is bright, cheery, clean and well maintained. The food is good and offers a nice balance of options for its' senior population. The health, safety and well being of the residents always appear to be their top priority. Management accomplishes this without even the hint of an overbearing presence. As a 40 year manager of apartments and condominiums, I am truly humbled. They have earned my complete confidence in the care of my step-dad.

Feels like Home.

None to compare. Facilities are clean, safe, and upscale decorated. Staff is professional, courteous, helpful, front desk staff is present at all times. Backyard is lovely for sitting outside. Dining room is well-furnished: food does not meet all tastes with specials—there is a menu. Transportation: excellent. Activities carefully chosen: hence good attendance. Library: books for take out. Wellness Center: well—equipped. Theater: movies, lectures, and communion. Musical entertainment. Hallways: clean and safe. Lovely independent living. Choose Las Solares.

Palos Verdes

Most of the top officers have recently been replaced with new, very competent people. I am hopeful that some positive changes are underway. New Director of Sales: [name removed]. Executive Director [name removed]. And wonderful new Director of Entertainment & Programming, [name removed]. Food Service is under major overhaul; both cooks fired. My personal observation is that the Corporation needs to purchase from a better food supplier. NOT CISCO! Cheap cuts of meat, fruits & veggies that are NOT fresh ; too many pre-prepared (frozen) entrees that are simply pitiful! Meats too tough to cut with a knife (full of fat & gristle). Too easy to attempt to hide or disguise... a new sous chef is being brought in in addition to a new regular chef. I just received this information today. The facility is kept in pristine condition; everything very clean and well- maintained. The grounds have lovely gardens with flowers maintained year-round too! Activities are expanding & becoming more creative. We have a pool: no water aerobics or exercises offered. Why? Too hot? Too much liability? Oh well, we have excellent OT & PT offered in our second floor gym! I am benefitting from them; have graduated from a wheelchair back to my walker!! Hooray!

Everything so far has been great. Great overall experience, perfect size place and not too fancy for mom's taste. Everything seems clean as far as I can tell. Staff is friendly to mom and the family. Mom seems well taken care of and happy. Mom never is late or misses a meal, or complains. Mom is very active at Southview! Loves bingo, balloon volleyball and drumming. And I love the LifeLoop app so I can see how active she is during the week. I feel like we are getting a great value for the cost!

Wonderful facility and the staff is outstanding

We met with [name removed] who could not have been nicer to my cousins who are 89 and sight impaired. They loved the unit due to its size and location in the surrounding area. We ended up taking them somewhere else (not my choice) at the last minute as were were dealing with some memory issues. Ocotillo Gardens is a beautiful facility!
