I am moving into Shipley Living. Essentially, they were the most accommodating and the easiest to cut a deal with. There were three places in the final running, and the determinant for me is that this is four blocks from my son and grandson. Everybody's been very nice. The meals were fine. They're rebuilding the place. They have a gym, a rehab center, meeting rooms, and game rooms. Cleanliness is fine. The upkeep is great. It is near restaurants and shopping.

Shipley Manor seemed nice, but there was nothing about it that stood out one way or the other. They showed me a studio room for assisted living. It was nice but it seemed small. They showed me the dining room and it looked very nice. The whole building itself seemed to be in good shape.

Shipley Manor was very nice. I was very impressed. They were able to answer questions that I didn't even have, which was nice. I was able to see a couple of the model rooms. The staff was very nice and very knowledgeable and had a lot to offer me in terms of information. The facility seemed very nice. I didn't see any trash around or any of that. It seemed clean.

I visited the Shipley Manor for my mom and I like it a lot, it's a place that would work. The staff that gave the tour was very nice and knowledgeable, and the rooms were very nice. The dining area was very nice, and I like everything about the facility.

Reception staff are very nice and helpful. Maintenance staff are great. Cleaning personnel need to be reminded to leave toilet paper. Food service struggles to provide interesting and hot meals and are understaffed with servers. When relative arrived 5 years ago, food service was great. Why did it change?

We live in a 2BR cottage and love it. Well built, comfortable, deck off living room, nice view to the back. Lots of green. Deer. Foxes. Nice neighbors. Staff provides really great TLC. The are almost uniformly cheerful, helpful, and responsive. We looked at many retirement homes 5 year ago and Shipley met our needs better than any other (and we would move here tomorrow!)

We had a tour of Shipley Manor. It was very nice. They have very friendly staff, and it's very clean. The woman who gave us the tour was very informative. It's just positive, I don't have anything negative to say. They take all the normal precautions.

My mother moved into Shipley Manor, and I'm very pleased. The staff or the personnel they have working there is very good for her and have been polite and forthcoming with information on a daily basis. It's pricey. It is an expensive place, but I believe she has the care she's needs in there. I think that's pretty beneficial. She is in a private room, but she's in skilled nursing. Unfortunately, even before she had dementia really bad, as well as a hip replacement, she hasn't ever been a good eater. It's a hard judgment for her. She's not really able to let you know. She can tell you she dislikes something or likes something, but she's not that coherent. She's more on soft cereal, and things of that nature. Nutritional drinks and things like that, so she wouldn't be a good judge on how the food is there. They have a lot going on community wise as far as I know. They have a nice TV room. They do a lot of different crafts, and they take them outside. There's a lot to do. Unfortunately with her pretty extreme dementia, she is not able to participate in most of those functions. It is because of her actual condition, not that it's not offered. The facility itself, the location, the conditions, the cleanliness, the people, and the staff I feel is above adequate for sure. We're very happy with it at this point. The staff has been wonderful, and very communicative of the daily condition of my mother. We get to visit her twice a week. They're very helpful and knowledgeable. Considering the condition she's in, they're very outgoing and do very well with her.
