Croasdaile Village | Continuing Care Retirement Community

Croasdaile Village is a Methodist facility. It is very, very nice. Two friends that I have there, they shared a home when they were independent. Then as they needed more help, they moved into assisted living, and they were able to get a double room in the assisted living. It was very nice. Again, they have all of their meals prepared. The independent home that they had looked like any home, and it was very, very nice. It was a two-bedroom home. It had two baths, a living room, and a kitchen. It was very, very nice.

I look around to see Croasdaile Village. It is a large facility, and it's very good as well. I was able to see the food and the dining area, and they were fine. During my visit, everybody was friendly, and there weren't any issues.

Everything is fine until you need greater care. The Pavillion is horrible. The less your parent can care for themselves the less Croasdaile cares about meeting their needs. Independent living is fine, independent plus is just ok, rest is very poor. listen to the spiel but read the reviews!

This is an exceptionally nice continuing care retirement community. There are "cottages" for those who wish more space, but there are a large number of apartments of various sizes that are conveniently located in the same building as all of the activities and services. My mother's mobility is limited, and she did not want to have to walk a long way to access the dining room or various activity rooms. The best feature of this facility were the residents. In the dining room they were laughing and talking - engaged in life. Other places that we had visited were virtually silent, with residents just putting food in their mouths. The also have a heated pool with a retractable roof and many exercise classes in the pool. People also were seen in the exercise room, the craft room, and involved in various activities. Many places had those rooms, but they were always empty.

Don't go here. My mother-in-law and father-in-law are at the Pavilion. The overall nursing home ratings give Croasdaile Village a fairly good rating. They say there are few skin tears at the Pavilion, that there are few bed sores, few people lose weight, etc., etc. That's not the truth. Weight loss, skin tears, bed sores are simply not reported to the nursing home board. That's what makes the Pavilion look good. I've seen the chart for my in-laws and their problems aren't even listed in their files...and therefore aren't reported to the board.
