Ecumen Seasons at Apple Valley

Seasons has been a great place to have my mother reside. The staff are wonderful and appear to make life a bit easier for the residents to make this their home. The building itself has many different activities and things the residents can do which give them a chance to make new friends. I am looking forward to Spring ..like the rest of us to enjoy the beautiful grounds of Seasons. Thank you again to the wonderful staff that have made this transition for my mother a pleasant one.

Ecumen is brand new. It's beautiful. But the way things look and the way things really are, when a patient is there isn't always what you see. The staff was very helpful, but it seems very, very limited.

My Mother-In-Law was one of the first resident's to move into Seasons. My Mom-in-Law has moments that she forgets she's not the Lovely Princess and acts more like the Ugly Troll. :) Thankfully, the staff at Seasons look past her being the occasional ugly troll. Seriously, this facility and the staff are beyond the 5 stars. MIL is always well cared for in her assisted living apartment. We visit her different days of the week-every week, and her apartment is well kept, she and her clothing is clean, she is well fed, she considers some of the aides her friends, and she has never ushered one complaint (she was always complaining about another assisted living facility she lived in). I would recommend this facility to anyone whom wants to find a quality home for their loved ones!!

All in all, I would say the staff here is caring and kind. Many of the staff make a genuine effort to comfort and allay the concerns of those living here. At times, they almost treat the residents like family. It was a great thing to see. The building itself was very fine. The inside is clean and warm, with plenty of things to do. Many of those here seem very happy: they seem to get along great, and it's easy for them to bond with all the outside activities such as walking trails and a nice landscape. While the staff is kind, they tend to keep out of the way and it makes the experience less surreal than most places, which is extremely convenient. Additionally, the surrounding area is great; there's a lot to do. Basically every store you would want is contained within a two mile radius of here, so it keeps the residents on their feet while at the same time providing a situation where anything is just five minutes away.

My grandpa was moving out of his old home into a new one closer to my parents' house. During the move he needed a temporary place to stay that would be able to provide him with help if he needed it. So he got a place there for 2 months while we moved him into his new home. I visited him a few times a week and he loved it. Despite his old age he is quite the social butterfly so having other people his age to talk to and play cards with was great. It took his mind off of the move and kept him totally stress-free. Although I didn't run into to many staff members while there the few I did were very kind and always willing to lend a helping hand if one was needed. Although it would have been nice to see a bit more staff around to make sure everyone was taken care of.
