Sunshine Retirement Living LLC

Ground level, swimming pool. Place is dirty and not moving. Rugs all need to be removed. Sidewalks bend dropping bad, pool deck dirty, short staffed. Told independent and its assisted and independent. What I was told and what it is, is different.

A lot has changed in the 12 years I have lived there. I remain in spite of many changes too much corporate influence in activities and food. Each community is different. Quality of food (meat, in particular has gone down).

The community was having staffing issues and the caregiver staff quality was not the best. The nursing staff and the administration were friendly and did understand the issues that were there. More than half of the residents were memory care residents. I would not recommend this community to others based on our experience.

We chose Park View Estates because it is a brand new facility that is absolutely beautiful. It is very open and airy and does not feel closed in like a lot of places that we saw. It is larger and we were able to get a ground floor apartment that walks outside. The apartments are decent, but their options are better than some that we looked at. Since they are brand new they are not as organized as they could be and there are not a lot of residents here yet, so a lot of things that they say are offered are not yet. I think as the facility gets older and more established it will be a wonderful place.

The new community is very nice, but I wish there was more color in the entrance and hall ways. The colors are gray and white. I t seems beautiful but it would be more beautiful if there was more color. It is depressing because there isn't any color just gray and white. It is modern. the rooms are modern. But what bothers me is the food isn't very good. I would think that they would want this to be the top priority since the residents are looking forward to eating. Also, the residents are paying top dollar for this. When I visited my friend she told me about this. I was shocked. It is a real transition to move to assisted living and the food makes the person happy or depressed. Why should she have to supplement the food in the dinning room with microwave food.

I couldn't really tour the facility since it was during covid, I had to go right to the conference room when I got there. It reminded me of her old facility so it was not appealing to me.

It is a brand new facility so they are only at about 10% capacity so barely any of the amenities are available. A lot of the things like the beauty salon ship are still closed because they just are not enough residents.

The community is highly overpriced. The location is a great gorgeous building but it's almost unaffordable. The food quality could be better. I would recommend this community to others if you can afford it.

The community was pretty new at the time our loved one moved in, and so far the staff team has been changed and the upper management has been changed. Therefore in our opinion the overall communication is pretty poor, there is not really a clear process of communication. However there is a new medication director and she is fabulous. They just hired a new activities director and she is fabulous as well. She has a masters in kinesiology which is great. She is really trying her best to figure out what works for the residents and what doesn't. They also have a fabulous head chef so the food there is really great.

We chose The Continental because it is very convenient to where I live. My brother only had a 1 bedroom but they offered different sizes as well depending on your needs. He really liked the food and they were chef prepared meals. I was impressed with the friendliness of the staff members as well. I would recommend to others looking.

The community is not very diverse, I would have liked to see more diversity with the residence. Communication was ok with the community. i would recommend this community if they were able to have a more diverse population.

I would tell others that they are telling us that it is not a nursing home. I know the past year has been difficult, but there are no activities here for the residents to participate in unless you want to just sit down. Anybody that is really independent, you don't want to come here. Overall, I would not recommend based off of my experience.

Ask about the average age range in the community. I would definitely recommend this community to others

It was a nice tour. Not quite the place for me because its kitchen did not have a stove. I cook for myself and prefer not to eat the dining room food.

We chose this facility in the beginning because of the value for your money for the apartment size she was able to get. She was also able to bring her cat. The food was awful, it was more cafeteria style food and the presentation was not good. It was also not good quality, fresh food. The manager was good to work with and was very nice but once management goes home at 730, you are on your own. They do not have anyone on duty so if you have an issue or if you are locked out of your problem, there is no one there to help. We discovered after she moved in that the shuttle service was only offered 3 days a week from 9 -11:30. If you had any appointments after that, you had to find another way to get there. Overall, I would not recommend this facility, we did not have the best experience here.

Diet is marginal; not enough meat. Flavor is absent (no spices, no salt, bland would be an overstatement). Too much carbohydrate value. Very limited variety.

It's nothing to brag about, just another facility to live in.

The community was good, but they wouldn't let us out of the agreement. My loved one was only there for 5 days. They seemed really nice at first, but ended up being cold hearted. They do charge you extra if you don't choose automatic payment. They had activities but my loved one didn't use them, because he couldn't.

I’m sad that so many of the staff that left are gone. I felt they were a good friend. [names removed]. I really like [name removed] and my little house keeper. Of course because of Covid things really aren’t the same. And the food is terrible. One of my friends moved out for that reason and two more are going, and one friend says there is more. The food is one of the biggest complaints I’ve heard. I can’t afford the rent raise that is coming so I might have to move. Overall it’s a great place. On the food I don’t know whether to blame [name removed] (a very nice man) or corporate.

Food overall is low in protein, heavy in starch. Dinner is served half an hour too late. Seasoning is absent from all food. Our physician urges us to increase our sodium, based on blood tests.
