Willow Ridge Senior Living, LLC

Very friendly, engaging atmosphere. Rooms are only studios though, they say designed to get people out doing things. Assisted Living only.

This place had smaller apartments and was more expensive than other facilities I had seen. When I called they suggested they offered independent living options, but they only really offer assisted living. Assisted living requires more care services which is why Atria Penfield is more expensive than the independent care facilities I was comparing them to. If you are looking for independent living, this is not the place to go.

I got a good vibe when I visited here. Lots of activity and participation by residents.

been twice, really interested, but no private shower, visited 3rd time.

Very nice- biggest room is quite small

I really liked Elmcroft. It was very nice and the separte wing for alzheimer patients would be a good fit for my mom. I really liked that they were together in their own area with dining room and common area. Director was extremely knowledgeable and sat and talked with me for quite some time. This site is at the top of my list.

Close second.

The residents seemed happy and engaged. They didn't have nurses on staff and no Executive Director either.

We were able to try the food when we visited and it was good. The people we met were nice and knowledgable. The community seemed clean. This community did not offer an apartment for one person. The closest they had was a room with a shower. We did not think our loved one would be comfortable here.

I liked this community when we toured it. The people I met were nice and the community seemed clean. This community was a little more expensive than what we were looking for.

I am generally pleased with Brookdale, My only complaint is the food. I do not believe what is being served is worth the cost we are charged. Many times what is on the menu is not available. We are told they have run out of the items. Needless to say, this is not acceptable. The waite staff is not very competent. A new head of the staff has been hired and I have faith that many of the complaints will be addressed.

I am very pleased with my move to Brookdale. My apartment is adequate and very bright. The people are very friendly and helpful. I am still getting settled and have not been able to attend as many of the events which I would like to. i hope to be able to do so in the future. The only concern I have is the cleaning person assigned to my apartment. She is very young and it will take time for her to learn how to clean well.

Outstanding in every way for an independent Senior. I would give it 5 stars, except for the category of Care Services, which are kind of just "ok," and I found I needed to supplement them with non-Gables services. The grounds, rooms, and dining room are beautiful and elegant, and the staff is the friendliest I have ever encountered. And we got a terrific value on a room with a less-than-optimal view, which didn't matter to my relative that doesn't like to look outside.

1. 3, [name removed] is a little lax at getting back to us when we have questions. The staff is wonderful, but management is a little lax. 2. The Manor has been very clean, it is old and some of the air conditioning units are in disrepair. 3. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. 4. Now that we have moved into the enriched care, the care is very good. Although, there is a new case manager, The day she started, [name removed] and [name removed] were both out of town to a conference, very poor planning. 6. Mom has not complained about the food. It seems to be tasty and plenty. 7. There is a new activity's director, so things have been changing, and Mom doesn't always remember to go. 8. It is a little expensive, but when you add it all up, it is satisfactory. Be persistent.

Nice place to live. We need more help in all areas. Management lets everyone know how wonderful it is but its not they accepts people who [name removed] me here. They need a new cook and chef me haves the same thing every month to nice stains are manage doesn't keep up with things like the. Cannot use no license plate. He never carries this with anything doesn't like to talk to residents or family.

Food would be very good to know an of course how well the staff responds to our loved ones needs too. No don't think we would recommend the community to others. Too many things not right sorry

Overall, we feel like they promised more than they could deliver. The staff are good for the most part, but there are not enough staff to adequately care for all the residents. It is not uncommon to wander the halls on all floors and not find any staff. It is a lovely place, but I think it is better for those requiring less care or at least without any dementia.

Turned out to not be appropriate for our dad. He should have had a greater level of care, but we gave it a try, was wrong decision! Day he left he expressed chest & stomach pain to me. I in turn had nurse come to his room. Asked her what I should do, she suggested calling ambulance & going to ER. The nurses didn't really look in on him a lot. I think it was more often aides, who were mostly nice. And my dad was not at all happy that I made a big deal about chest pain, nor going to hospital!! He didn't at all like the food there. He had previously been at [name removed] which had tasty food & larger portions.

My Mom had dementia and wasn't receiving enough attention in the assisted living. She was taken to the ER 3 times. She never got see the podiatrist or get her hair cut. I cleaned her unit because it wasn't vacuumed and the toilet l was obviously dirty. Once no one took out the garbage or another time her laundry wasn't done. She stopped going to the dining room so they brought food to her but she didn't eat it. On her last trip to the ER t g ey diagnosed her with a failing heart and said she needed hospice. So I moved her to facility in Cincinnati. She's at [community removed]. It's costly room and board but they have their own listing Primary Care, Psychiatrist and Podiatrist. They have regular PT staff. Each floor has a head nurse, and assistant nurse and at aides. It's very nice. And it's what she needed. Maybe if she'd been moved to your Memory Care unit she'd have done better. With her failing heart and other medical needs, she's best at a nursing home with hospice services. I know it's difficult to hire good aides and housekeeping staff, but that is one major thing that would make your facility better. Also, if you have dementia folks, don't leave them sitting alone day after day. Personally I wouldn't recommend the facility at all and I'd never want to live there myself.

Well everything starts off great until you sign the contract. Phone calls or text are not returned. We have asked numerous times for food NOT to be brought to her so she can get out of the room and socialize. I understand it’s easier but that’s not what we want. She doesn’t know how to use the microwave so if she doesn’t eat it right away it’s cold and left in the fridge. Also, we have come by to visit only to find pills in her drawer or on the floor. This tells me that they aren’t watching her take her pills. She is on top of her meds and not one to hold them in her mouth or just not take them. OT and PT have been phenomenal. Also, she has been there almost three months and we are STILL waiting for the cable to be fixed. The WIFI is non existent so whenever we call her or vice versa, calls drop. Heaven forbid there’s an emergency! Last but not least, we understand that we’re suppose to supply toilet paper but when she ran out their response was “don’t know what to tell you
