Tarantino Properties, Inc

I liked it a lot. I didn't choose Greenhaven Estates partly because a lot of their activities were heavily casino or gambling games oriented which I knew was something that my mother would not be interested in. Also, my mom likes to sit out on her patio and the patio on the first floor is walled in so I thought that was not really what she would enjoy. It was really sort of minor details that made the difference.

The quality of the meals I would give a 5 but the service of the meals I would give a 3 and that's because they're in the process of remodeling their dining room. My mom's had some problems with seating and service. Other than that it's been absolutely perfect. She's really enjoying the activities. She plays bridge and they do bingo once or twice a week. They do senior chair exercises - she's really enjoying them. I like the location, for me. It know that's different for everyone but for me the location is a real plus. I like the fact that each apartment has an interior courtyard that if faces and all the courtyards have a different theme. One has the pool, one has a putting green, one has a garden area. There are a lot of trees and shade. It makes you feel more homey.

It's pretty nice. The value was really good. She got in when they were offing a special. They're redoing their dining room area so they cut quite a bit off their monthly rent. Her one bedroom is about $1200 a month. They are still serving meals even though they're redoing the dining area. To me there are plenty of activities. To my aunt, she doesn't think there are enough but I think it's just because she doesn't participate. They don't have as many common areas as some of the other places we looked at.

I knew the price wouldn't be comparable to what we needed. I had a friend who was there but it was jsut too far from my other brother. It's a very nice place though, the upkeep was very nice, the dining was very nice also.

My aunt is there. From what I understand it's a very nice place. Her granddaughter is very happy with it and has no complaints. Whether my aunt is happy there is another story but she's being well taken care of. It's a good situation for her and the place is good.

I can say my aunt likes it here, she's really happy with terrace.

Liked the facilities and grounds. Meals looked appetizing. Amenities met all our needs.

It was lovely - very nice! It was two story, that was one of the drawbacks and the staff was a little bit more attentive at the other Colonial Oaks we looked at. It was also too far away from where my sister-in-law lived.

I was nice. I went with a good friend of mine and we were sitting in the lobby and a bunch of aids came running out looking for one of the residents. I was glad that they noticed that this person was missing but it just didn't feel as secure. The woman who did the sales and our tour was nice but she was almost ADHD. She would stop and visit with everyone like the ladies running the gift shop. I know she was trying to make it seem like a place where everyone knows everyone but she didn't seem as attentive to my questions. It was nice and clean and everything and it may work for other people. I don't want to bad mouth them - it just wasn't right for us.

Lovely place Dee was very helpful. The location is just to far. If we can't find a place closer. I will differently consider here

Loved the Terrace! The price was good and I like the fact that they have a nearby sister property that Mom could transfer into if she needed assisted living. The only drawback of the Terrace was no washer/dryer connections in the apartments.

Very nice facility. We really liked the location.

Probably a bit too large. May not have the services Mom needs and stay within her price range.

We chose this facility because it is in close proximty to our home, affordable, and had some forward looking systems (QuietTime) that will allow my mother-in-law to age gracefully in place. The staff was very personnable and engaging. The carpeting is older, but their PT and other accommodations make up for that. We're very pleased with our choice.

Very apartment feel. Worried abt "outside"corridors.

nice place

Psych nurse on the premises. Great! Concerned and knowledgeable staff.

I have mixed emotions. They are very short-staffed, although that's true of a lot of places. I think they're doing the best they can. But I get disappointed often. Laundry often goes missing. I haven't found a comparable place for the price though. There was a recent change in ownership, and they said they there would be no increases for 90 days. We'll see what happens after that. But ultimately, the people are good to my loved one. They're kind, and they care about their residents. They encourage them, and they prompt them to attend activities. And I feel my loved one is in the best situation that's available to us.

The other residents, the front desk staff, and the comfort of knowing my loved ones needs are being monitored.

After only 3 weeks, my mother seems to be settling in and enjoying Embark.
