Elancé at Pasadena

Kathy

My sister is here. She was in independent living for one year, and then we move her into assisted living. They kept her safe during the pandemic, a fact for which I was grateful. She didn't get sick. They didn't have very many cases at all in the place. They did a really good job of shutting down quickly. They take good care of her. They're pretty attentive, they feed her, and they're doing everything they need to do to keep her going. I don't have anything bad to say; they've been good. It's a beautiful place. That's the only way that I could get her to go into independent living there -- because it was beautiful and it's on the water. She has a water view out of her window and it's very, very nice. I haven't had a whole lot of experience seeing the meals because she's been in lockdown. I've only been in there for the last couple of weeks, and I've only gotten to see a couple of meals. They come to the room. They're trying to get them back to the dining room, but she's kind of pooh-poohing that. She wants them to bring it to her room, and so she gets it in a Styrofoam container, which isn't as pleasant. I keep telling her to go to the dining room so at least she'll get to eat with real utensils, but she's a little stubborn. The food is fair. She's not thrilled with it, but it's been a little hard, I think, during this pandemic. And when they're delivering it to the tenth floor from the bottom, it takes a while, and the food isn't always as fresh. But she's alive, she hasn't lost any weight, and she looks good. They have a lot of activities. They haven't had a lot, obviously, during the past year. I haven't really seen if there's anything different as far as the assisted living side goes. They're just starting to do some of the activities again, so I don't really have a lot to say about that. But I know she enjoyed bingo in the beginning, which was in their independent living. They have movies too.

I toured here. It was exceptionally tall, 14 stories, but you can see the water right from your bedroom. It's very beautiful.

I was happy with them. The staff was very friendly. I've eaten in the dining area, which was very nice, very pleasant, and the food was very good. They had a lot of activities going on and everybody was buzzing around, so you know it's a busy community. They had a movie theater where they show movies twice a day. They had a beauty shop and just about everything to take care of you.

They had better apartments than other facilities. It's new, the food is good and everybody was pleasant. They even come up and talk to you. They do housekeeping and laundry once a week, and they take you to doctors' appointments as long as you give them a day's notice. The staff is great, I got answers to all my questions, and everyone was willing to help.

My father was a resident for 18 months. He enjoyed the food very much. Our entire family would have dinner on several occasions with wonderful service and great selection. When he passed away, the staff were very kind and helpful.

The Fountains at Boca Ciega Bay was nice. Actually, it was kind of an exclusive high rise with a very beautiful view of the water, but my wife did not feel comfortable there. The dining area was restaurant-style and had a very nice, rotating menu. It was professional, but it was not friendly like the other facility I saw.

My mother-in-law stayed here. It’s very nice, but she just didn’t like going out of her room to meet people. She had nurses that came and got her out of bed and put her to bed at the end of the day. They took good care of her. It was very nice and not depressing. It’s not like a lot of older communities. The dining area is beautiful.

Losing my husband has been very hard but being here with so many distractions, I have made a lot of friends. Everybody is very friendly, not only the employees but also the people that reside here.

We went here, and it's a very nice place. I like everything about it. The room was fine, but I just felt it would be a very big place for my husband.

Dad stays here. The staff is very good and accommodating. They have a movie theater on weekends, two nights they have entertainment, big shows, music that comes in during the week, there’s a lot of clubs that people can join, they play cards, and Wii bowling is also available. They have a lot of outings, day trips, and transportation to doctor’s appointments. Dad is in a studio apartment. He doesn’t cook, but it does have cooking facilities, a small size refrigerator, and a bathroom. You go in the lobby and there are sofas and chairs, a piano, and floral arrangements; it’s very homey. I would recommend this to anybody looking for this type of facility.

My father is in the senior living facility. My sister pick it because it also has assisted living. So, as my father declines, he will be able to make a transition to the assisted living. My father likes it. It is a really big facility and he likes the activities. They have bingo and poker. They have a big auditorium where they actually play movies. My niece describes it as "it looks like a movie theater". They have outings to restaurants and stores.

We visited them for a relative. They did have memory care. It was a really nice facility. The people were nice as well. Overall, it was a fine facility, but it was rather far from us, location-wise.

My wife and I are going to move here by the end of this month. It is an independent living facility. The facility looks very good to us. They have a lot of activities to choose from. They also offer services like laundry and housekeeping jobs.

It is one of the best so far. We were there last January for a birthday party for one of our friends who lives there. The place is clean and the staff was nice.
