Tutera Senior Living and Healthcare

Greatest senior living facility. Very caring staff and such a friendly environment. Great meals and always clean.

I have recently read some poor reviews about Brighton Gardens of Prairie Village regarding medical care issues. I was sorry to read that some people had bad experiences there. I work in the industry and also have a loved one at BG. Unfortunately, I have found that medical care problems are found in all health care facilities whether they are senior living facilities or hospitals. Both humans and computers are not perfect and sadly mistakes are made sometimes. Since no place is perfect, I wanted to write about all the areas that I have found to be better at BG than anywhere else in town. The concierge team that covers the front desk are personable, friendly and extremely helpful. They greet you as you enter the building and set a friendly, welcoming tone immediately. I have been in other facilities where the front desk people scowl and make you feel very unwelcome. [Removed] in Sales performs her job from her heart. She visit my loved one in the hospital and helped me transfer my loved one from the car into the building when I needed help. She knows all the residents and families and helps foster a sense of extended family and community within the building. I know of no other marketing person in the area that performs their job that way. (She also sings like an angel and performs concerts...even sang to an upset resident to help calm him down.) [Removed] has taken the Activities position and created a department of staff who provide ongoing activities throughout every area of the building each day. (Other facilities usually just have one person doing the job, not a staff.) Where other facilities may have 2 activities a day, [Removed] has at least 8 activities daily. She has live musical entertainment weekly and is so community minded that she even has a weekly bus ride for the memory care residents to deliver meals on wheels. She has residents help make blankets for local pet shelters and helps the elderly residents feel like they are still contributing to the community in many ways. The maintenance staff are seen circulating the building daily in an effort to keep the building running smoothly. They are friendly and always willing to help residents and families with any building problem. The care managers of each unit try their hardest to see that their residents are well looked after. Their hearts are in the right place even when things don't go well. As I said previously, no place is perfect. But the atmosphere at BG still remains an atmosphere that is family and pet friendly and breeds a strong sense of community.

My mom is getting good care The staff is very caring It’s much more personal than those large facilities

My mom is here and she likes it. She’s very happy and we’ve been very pleased with the care that she’s receiving here. Everyone there is very, very kind. Mom is somewhere between independent and assisted living and she doesn’t like to go to the dining room for breakfast so she’ll stay in her apartment but if she doesn’t come down for lunch, they’ll check on her to make sure she’s okay. They’re very kind to her. The lady that does her housekeeping once a week is also very helpful and kind; I’ve seen her stop in the middle of vacuuming just to help my mom get dressed, even though she didn’t have to. The people in the dining room, the kitchen and wait staff, are very interested in making sure she has plenty to eat and that she gets what she wants. The facility plays music that’s from the generation of the residents, there’s spa water that they serve with cucumbers or lemons, and fresh cookies. They even have a welcome sign with new residents’ names that say “Welcome to your new home.” It really looks like an individual’s home or a resort, rather than a place for elderly people. Everyone at Sycamore Manor goes above and beyond what they have to do and they genuinely seem to have the residents’ best interest in mind. It really is a nice place and I would definitely recommend it – in fact, I already have other family members that are interested in possibly moving in.

My mother just moved here and we have never seen her this happy. Unfortunately she has been in 3 places in the last year, the first 2 were not a good fit. When we contacted Greene Place I couldn't get over how wonderful and caring the staff was to me as just a guest in the building. I had several conversations with the Executive Director before we decided for sure this was going to be our last stop. She was right! In just this short time my mother is living again and smiling again. She is active and happy. For our family this is such a relief. I never enter the building without being met with a smile, I can tell that the staff truly care. We never experienced this kind of treatment in all of the places we have ever been with any of our family members. I can tell that [Removed] works hard to keep the staff happy which keeps the residents happy too. Her calm collective manner comes across in the staff, you can tell they feed off of her positivism and caring spirit. My mom absolutely loves her and all of the other staff. We do not feel like a number here, but a part of the family. The Greene Place Team has nailed it. Thank you so much for giving my mom the home and love she deserves.

Floyd Place is a wonderful place for my father. He has been here almost a year. The staff here is so friendly and professional they go above and beyond to take care of their patients. I have been so comfortable having my father here because I know I do not have to worry about him. They keep their rooms clean and do the laundry. Food is a good balance meal three times a day , snacks at night. Maintain the rooms so everything is working right. My whole family is so impressed with how well our father is taken care of. If something is wrong with my father they call me right away. My father gets along with the staff very well. Highly recommend this facility to any one.

My mother has lived at Floyd Place in Sergeant Bluff for the past three years. Although she did not want to have to leave her home, she has always told me that she is very happy and comfortable at Floyd. I live on the West Coast and am only able to visit my mom twice a year, but I consider the caring staff and other residents at Floyd to be part of my own extended family. The management is very kind and efficient, and all the staff with whom I have interacted are kind, friendly, and capable. The meals are delicious, and activities are varied and engaging. If I were unable to continue to live in my own home, I would want to be able to live at Floyd Place!

We put my grandma here and she really was enjoying it till her health turned and she had to be put in the hospital. But when she was there she enjoyed the activities like bingo and she said the food was great. The staff was attentive and friendly. It always was clean and grounds were well maintained. I would definitely recommend this community. She is on the skilled nursing side now and I know she will be well taken care of here too.

My Mother developed dementia in Feb-Mar 2016. Within weeks she was unable to care for herself and I had a sudden need to place her in a facility. We, her family, feel very fortunate to have found Hope. The staff is extraordinary, and no request is ignored. Management is very responsive and the staff took excellent care of all needs. Mother would tell me (and I observed) their caring behavior. Most important: I would choose Hope again!

I enjoy living here. Really enjoy the activities. Staff is friendly and outstanding. Wish the food was better.

My mother moved here just over a year ago and we couldn't be happier. She was kicking and screaming no as we took her through the door. [Removed] promised us that she would be okay. She told me to give her 3 weeks and she would change her mind. She was right and now we can barely get her out the door for any reason she loves it so much. We get to celebrate how far she has come, her new life and all of her friends each month with family night and the staff never disappoint. Every time I come to see her she is never in her room, she's out doing some activity. She looks great, feels great, and I have never seen her this happy. I can tell the staff really love her too! There is nothing in this world that means more to me then seeing my mother alive again. I cannot thank Greene Place enough!

We toured The Waterford in Mahomet. Very nice place. [removed] was the person who gave us a tour. She answered all the questions we had. I think the only thing holding us back is the price, which we cannot afford.

Every time I go to this community it smells like grandma house. The food is wonderful.

My Mom loves her room at Pinicon Place, It is a very clean, bright and a very friendly place. It is fun to visit her, she has been In other facilities that were not like Pinicon and it was not pleasant to visit. My Mom loves that she doesn’t have to cook, clean or do laundry and she loves doing activities with the other residents/friends. It is so sweet, the residents all look out for each other, and make sure they are going to eat or activities. My Mom feels very special being able to get her hair and nails done once a week, she feels like a queen. You see my Mom worked very hard on the farm, most of the time did her own hair and very rarely until her senior years was able to have her nails painted, due to chores. Our family very much appreciates the care and concern that is shown to our Mom at Pinicon. If you ask her any given day, she will say “They treat me like a Queen”, and we could not be happier!

My Mom has been a resident for many years and we have always enjoyed the patient and compassionate staff. They all provide such excellent care. Most recently, we have noticed that Morton Place has come alive with great, fun events such as having [Removed] visit and a fair that everyone could attend. Morton Place always looks clean and we are so proud to show it off when family and friends visit. Thank you to the staff of Morton Place because they really know what they are doing when it comes to making ALL of us feel right at home. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Very nice place for my mother. Much better than her previous assisted living facility in Cedar Rapids. More caring staff, great activities, lower price.

I am a home health care RN. I visit many Assisted Living communities in the area. I was very impressed with the staff, and especially the great care that my patients receive. I have recommended and will continue to recommend Amelia Place to other patients. The community is very clean and a great positive atmosphere!

I have had the opportunity of coming to Amelia Place for my home health therapy patients and the staff is extremely friendly. The resident I see for services is always saying how wonderful the care is she receives and I have witnessed it first hand. I go to several other care centers and the Amelia Place has by far the most helpful and caring staff.

My Mother was at the Pathfinder Place for 2 1/2 years prior to her passing. I was extremely pleased with her care there. The administration & staff treated her and all the other residents with kindness & a warm family atmosphere. The size of the facility is perfect - it's not too large, nor too small. That makes it great for more personable interactions. In fact I was there often enough that I thought of everyone there (staff, administration & residents) as part of my family. I still love to stop in & visit everyone.
