The Goodman Group

It's very clean, and the staff is really friendly. The food is very good compared to other places we have been. They offer the same activities that most places offer, but nothing really exciting, or different from the typical things you would see. They could use a few more caregivers. It's a very attractive place.

I liked what I saw during the tour just waiting to get my dad admitted.

It's still a little early in the process and it's my first time having to place a relative in memory care. The staff is always very friendly and helpful, but sometimes it is hard to contact the right person for your concern, or have that person return your phone call. They said I would be contacted regularly with updates throughout the first few weeks but I only received one unsolicited call. I work full time, so it is hard to know what is really going on. The facility is not new, but it seems to be clean and fairly well-maintained. Everyone tells me it takes months for a person to make this adjustment, so I hope all goes well.

Nice facility. On short list for parents to choose from.

My Dad is in the assisted living section of Amethyst Arbors Community. He is enjoying his time there. The food is excellent. I have enjoyed several meals with Dad. There is a regular menu and also chef's specials every day. The dining experience seems to be well organized. The staff to resident ratio seems to be good. There is no extreme wait for a caregiver if needed. They do encourage residents to participate in activities available. They do have pendants for the residents to wear for safety concerns.

Overall things seem to be going well at Amethyst Gardens. I don't get the chance to visit often myself, but I have heard mostly positive feedback from my relatives!

They are updating and improving some things around the facility right now. The biggest area where they could improve is the food. They just got a new chef and the food is improving slightly and I hope it continues to improve as it has been pretty bad. One thing that I really do like is that the size of the unit is excellent, and they are very responsive to any repair needs or other requests that we make. They are making some headway, it's just taking time which is to be expected.

It's going pretty good overall. The staff is really friendly. They do respond quickly but the communication isn't always there, so I don't know that they have responded. I might ask them to sign her up for something or start some service, and they will do it, but I don't get a follow up call or anything so I know they have done it. My mom really liked the atmosphere when we toured here, which is one of the reasons we chose it.

My experience with Amethyst Gardens has been good overall. They are currently in the process of making changes in staff, especially dining staff, so things aren't quite like they would have them, but they are working on it. The maintenance has not been quick to check on things that we've reported. I am however, very happy with the grounds. They keep the place beautiful. My mom's apartment is well kept. The staff is very kind and thoughtful to my mom.

Rescheduled tour to the 15th due to the rain of the century. Definitely for Both parents....Mom could not drive this far to visit Dad. Beautiful Community...Larger Apt. Units...No Washer & Dryer In Unit. Balcony Units which may be more like their home living space since they sit out on their screened in patio at home during the winter season...Independent-Assisted living is a bit of a walk for the dining rm. maybe need Escort Assistance ... Like the courtyard areas & different sitting area's.. Definitely a frontrunner for a community for Both Parents.

My experience with Amethyst Gardens had been great. They are very accommodating, and helped with the transition. They've been very welcoming. Everyone is very friendly. Staff provides great care. The facility is very clean, and smells clean, not stuffy. The food is ok. It was better at first, but there has been done changes in staffing, so right now it's hit or miss. Overall, I'm satisfied.

The Commons on Marice f as facility is great. As far as staff, I'd give them a 4 out of 5. The care they give is good. I'm pleased with their overall services.

We are in the Amethyst Arbors part of the community. We are pretty pleased with them. The common areas are very clean, and the staff is pretty friendly. They give you good value for the money. They have a good variety of activities. The food is very good, I would say that the food is about a five. The housekeeping in the individual apartments needs to be improved, the housekeeping doesn't do a very good job. We liked what we saw there, and we knew other people that have lived there and they liked it.

A little too upscale. Beautiful common space and food options. Rooms way too small; and the price was substantially more. Certainly there are more activities and features...but for a price.

Was very nice – it’s lot larger than the one we chose for our loved one. It’s multiple stories. If you’re looking for a single story facility that’s more friendly and family orient – this might not be it. This one is more corporate oriented.

Check out a lot of different places. We really like the Amethyst, but it feels like you’re not the one in charge of your loved one, they are. The food is good at some of the campuses. There is a patio for those in the memory care to use, even though it’s on lock down. We have white shirts that are pink now. My loved one’s clothes are always clean though.

Everything was good I ate there twice, but some of the people didn’t eat their food. They felt it wasn’t edible, but I had a grilled cheese and I thought it was great. The staff was all great. My loved one had her little dog with her. The distances were a bit of a problem. My loved one was in the farthest corner from the cafeteria.

My main concern is that the medical staff sometimes oversteps their bounds. My wife and I looked at a lot of places. They were the best. They were middle of the road on cost. They were the best. The food is okay. There is an area where residents can go outside.

They're very friendly here! It took a bit for her to settle in and for them to learn her routine, but now that they've gotten to know my loved one they're very on the ball with her care! The care they provide is excellent, and they've got a good variety of activities to keep everyone entertained. They could, however, do a bit better at keeping things tidy.

Things seem to be working out well here so far. The staff have been very friendly, and they do a great job keeping the place looking clean and cared for. They can be a bit difficult to communicate with, according to my family member who spends the most time interacting with them. I'd also like to see a bit of improvement when it comes to the activities that they provide.
