Tarantino Properties, Inc

Our family had an in person tour experience and from everything we saw and all the staff members we spoke with it was a good tour experience

I toured this community and it was great. I really liked it. It's beautiful, nice staff, great apartments. However, the location wasn't ideal. I personally felt that it was too close to a not so great part of town. Had it been located in a different area, it would have been our first choice.

When we come to visit the staff members they are all really nice.

So far it's been good for my loved one. He's enjoying himself very much. They do a lot of activities outside of the facility. The apartment is very nice. It's not too small, but not to big. It gives him enough room to feel at home, but is not so large that cleaning is a hassle.

[name removed] passed away last month and it was fine for the 5 months we were there and she made good friends

Our loved one was there for about [dates removed[ and he was very challenging for them but they absolutely did their best in handling the situation. If your loved one is still capable of doing things somewhat on their own this would be a nice community for them

I would encourage you to check out the community and see if it would meet your needs. The administration is acceptable. This is a smaller community, and doesn't have a big intuitional feel you might get from a bigger community. The staff communication with the residents is good. All the meals are offered in the dining room with the option of taking it to back to your personal room or having the meal delivered. There are three meals a day served to the residents.

I think the people are really nice and caring. No place is perfect, but I feel like they take good care of my dad, and I feel comfortable if I had to go out of own leaving him there. It's a very nice, sunny building, which was one of features that attracted us to it. I also like that everything is on one floor, so he has a chance to walk around inside, and they have a nice inner courtyard as well. It was also the most affordable option we found.

We chose Harbison Shores because the location is close to my home and also my mom needs a lot of natural light and they had a room with a balcony where she can go outside whenever she wants. The rooms here overall are also larger than others we saw, she is in a one bedroom and has a sliding glass door that walks out to her balcony. I would definitely recommend them to others.

They have done the best that they can do with the circumstances, they have had some significant staffing issues and lots of people coming and going. The staff who have been here have done a really good job but there has definitely been some confusion. My mother loves the food and says it is really good. I would overall recommend the facility to others looking.

This was good community. This community was further from family and friends than we wanted.

When I got here for my tour I thought the person I spoke to was very friendly and honest and the facility itself looked super clean and everyone looked happy. My loved one has a private room in memory care and it is very large and spacious. They have shared rooms available as well and they are a great size too. It is in a good location and there are a lot of good places you can take your loved one out too that are close by. We would recommend Greenhaven Estates and already have.

No place is perfect. Keep in mind that there is a learning curve for your loved one to learn the staff and for the staff to learn your loved one. It took my parents a little longer to get used to things and the staff longer to learn my parents due to their hearing impairment. But everyone is doing well now. For the most part I'm very happy. We love the facility. We love the dining area - they make it very fancy. We also love the private dining area that families can reserve. They have lot of activities. It's a definite plus that hey have a hearing impaired person on staff. And we like the accommodations that they have for hearing impairment. Our caregiver was able to come in and help train the staff to my parents' preferences and needs. I like that they have a private bathroom. They also allow us to have a camera in their apartment, which is nice. It's bright. There's lots of things going on. There is is staff there 24/7. And my mom feels free enough to leave my dad for a moment to go do activities in the building. Some areas for improvement would be internal and external communication, as well as consistency in answering call buttons. We've also had some Wi-Fi connectivity issues - it's very hit or miss.

We are satisfied with the community as my loved one is being take care of and is safe. The community is in a convenient location for the family to visit our loved one. The staff are very helpful in answering our questions, or addressing our concerns about our loved one. Housekeeping, laundry service, making of the bed, all meals, the room, and care are included in the monthly rate. We were able to find a private room here and my loved one was able to bring their own furniture with them to the community. This was a big plus for us. The community is able to assist with hygiene, bathing, medication management, and transfer assists for my loved one. The food is good for my loved one here. Book club, movies, crafts, entertainers, and more are some of the activities available for the residents to choose from if they would like to participate.

It is nice, I like it. Overall it's a safe environment. They have staff there 24/7. They always call my Mom by her first name. its personable. It doesn't take them very long to get something done. If its prescriptions, appointments, etc. They are quick overall for everything. They have provide a variety of food to choose from during meal times. Housekeeping comes 3 times a week. The laundry is done once a week. They offer transportation to doctors appointments or shopping. The staff call with any questions or concerns regarding my Mothers care. They have a nurse practitioner or doctor that comes every Wednesday. This is what I really like. The doctor makes sure to see the residents and talk to them every time they come. If I have any questions regarding her medications, they can be addressed during this time.

Our main concerns have to do with accessibility. They've added a fence in front of the building with an access code to get in, which is great except it has cut down on parking to the point that there's not enough sometimes. Also, I appreciate the fact that they keep the front door locked for the safety of the patients. But it makes it inconvenient for family members to come visit. But every time I've been there, it's been very clean with no noticeable or offensive odors. There is a nice courtyard between the buildings. Currently they're starting some renovations to upgrade the carpets and paint and give a general facelift. The staff have been very accommodating. And when I send emails with questions or concerns, my point of contact has been very quick to get back to me.

We chose Elison Independent Living because when we went and toured we were very impressed so we did not have to look anywhere else. The apartment size is good, it is perfect for one person. My dad said the food is overcooked and there is not a lot of variety on the menu, it is not what was advertised to us. Overall I would definitely recommend to others looking.

We had a good tour experience with The Reserve at First Colony. There was nothing negative about the facility, but nothing really stuck out to us either. It was just not the right fit.

It is a great place you just need to make sure you stay in touch with them. They don't always tell you everything going on with your loved one. The food is enjoyed by my loved one. They even think it is like homemade.

We had a good tour at what was The Reserve at Pasadena at the time. It was just a larger community than we felt our mom would be comfortable in.
