I toured Mariposa Point of Surprise. I asked what goes on there and Stephanie walked me through and explained everything like the type of care, what's included with the pricing, what you get, and things of that nature. We looked at the ones I was interested in like the 2-bedrooms. It was very, very nice. The only thing is I thought there was a little bit on the small side.
I like that it was a very new facility. I thought it was very modern and I thought it had a really good layout. I was very impressed with it.
Stephanie was excellent, very knowledgeable, very much willing to spend the time answering my questions and taking the time to take me around, telling me what it would be like living there. I was very impressed with her.
I inquired about assisted living. I've got some medical issues that I'm not sure how it's going to transpire, but I did get the information I needed from them.
I didn't have a meal, but the dining area was very nice. I did see people eating the meals. They looked like they were very happy and content with it. It looked like people were enjoying themselves.
I think there are a lot of things there. They had a book club, social hour, and just a lot of things where people can get together and do things and enjoy themselves.

STAY AWAY!!!!
My mother has lived here for 2.5 years. The decline in care has been steady since the arrival of Maria and Paula. We chose this place for my parents because it had a family atmosphere. Employees were treated like family and thus treated residents and family members like family. Now? It's nothing more that another company out to make a buck. The only reason my mother has been there for as long as she was is in part to consistency and routine being optimal for Alzheimer's/dementia patients. You can't have consistency when staff turnover is so high and they don't "know" their patients/residents.

I thought Mariposa Point of Surprise was very good. I thought it was a very comfortable environment. It was definitely comparable to other facilities I had looked at. I was happy with them. They're actually one of my front runners. I toured their assisted living. We walked through the dining area, and it was open and clean. They didn't have any activities going on while I was there, but I know they do have them. They had a social hour, bingo, and things like that. They had doors that opened up out to the garden area, which I thought was nice.

We got to tour Mariposa Point of Surprise, and we loved it. It was beautiful, new, and friendly, and I love the room. It was immaculate. They have all the amenities that the other ones do, too. For what we needed, the room was perfect. The guy that took us around was very nice, very friendly, and helpful.

I toured Mariposa Point of Surprise, and we were looking for assisted living graduating into memory care. It was very clean and for all practical purposes, it looked like it was very well laid out. They had a really nice dining room and a nice kind of a community-type room where you can come, visit, and bring family over to see your loved ones. That's actually kind of cool.
The staff was super nice, really helpful, and informative. He's going to send me some contacts for a VA Aid and Attendance person that he knows personally, and I thought that was pretty nice.
I saw a bunch of them sitting around doing maybe a book club or something; I'm not sure what they were talking about. I didn't get to observe any activities because I wasn't really there that long.
I like the place; I really do. I think it's a little far for me. They have a sister facility that I might go take a look at.
I saw some courtyards and some nice outdoor spaces.

My overall tour at Mariposa Point of Surprise was excellent. The gentleman in there was really nice. I put down a deposit and we got an apartment picked out for us, so we're all ready to go. They're really nice. We like that place the best. Everything there was excellent. We're very satisfied. We saw people in the dining area and they said everything was excellent. Cleanliness was excellent, too. We also like the floor plan and the apartment, which was very nice. We were able to secure a courtyard view, so I think my aunt will be totally satisfied with it.

Gorgeous community with an outstanding friendly and caring staff. I am reminded every day that I made the right choice in placing my mother.

Don’t let the fancy building fool you. The management here is nonexistent. Call all you want, they won’t return your call. My mother missed out on her long term care payments because they don’t know how to fill out the monthly CMR forms. What do they care, it’s not their money? They obviously hire unqualified people for management positions, and as the others say, the food is terrible.

My mother is at Mariposa Point of Surprise. They're doing a good job. Considering what's going on with coronavirus, they have taken extra precautions. From what I've seen, I'm happy. It is going to be an adjustment for my mother as she went from a larger home to a shared assisted living. It is going as well as it can be. They have activities. They have outings, happy hour and entertainment, and daily bingo, but my mother is not interested in doing much of anything. They have a movie once a week. They have a room that they have closed off for special movies. They have plenty of options there. The food is good. Also the place is only 2 years old. It is very clean and it doesn't smell or feel like a nursing home.

This location is central for access to shopping and medical facilities. Staff are friendly and seem to care about the residents .
The kitchen management is abysmal. The food is terrible. I observed a “pork chop” that seemed to be more like a piece of spongy fake meat covered in gravy. The fees are high so am not sure why they can’t provide basic real food. The dining room is staffed with caregivers instead of food service staff and the kitchen is chef-less.
It appears the practices in the kitchen and dining area are unsanitary. Tables are not washed completely between meals. Unused silverware is not changed after each meal. Maybe Surpass can get a handle on managing the kitchen and dining area so that residents are provided with basic healthy food which is what they are promised in the Holistic Approach in the sales materials.
There was an outbreak of stomach flu and I wonder if it wasn’t food poisoning due to mishandling and unsanitary food practices.
The rooms are spacious and the facility is generally clean and pleasant.

Thank you for your feedback, this is how we grow and get better. I can share with you we have just hired a new executive chef to replace the outgoing chef who was promoted. We utilized the universal caregiver model at Mariposa Point of Surprise. Our Caregivers care for our residents with a positive attitude and engulf our residents in love! They are with our residents 24 hours a day and care for all aspects of their day including meal time.

This place is a disaster. The management is substandard, the food is a total disaster and declining by the day. The response time for residents that need help is longer and longer. The prices are extremely high for what you get. They nickel and dime you to death on everything. The care givers are all unhappy and looking for new jobs since their hours have been cut. Unhappy caregivers means unhappy residents. You have to get on the director daily to get what you've paid for. They are on director #7 in 16 months. They have cut many of the classes. Don't spend your money here. It's a losing proposition.

My dad is in Mariposa Point of Surprise. We're very pleased with the staff and facilities. They're doing an excellent job. They get to know everybody in the facility and entertain them. Everything is top notch. My dad is in a one-bedroom apartment with a little kitchenette. There's no swimming pool but there's an exercise room and a small library.

My tour of Mariposa Point of Surprise was really good. However, it's so brand new that they're still not full, so it's a little bit quieter and a little bit less bustling around. The food seemed good. It's only about a third full at that point, so there's plenty of availability and they're offering very attractive deals. In terms of the care level, I was more impressed with what they were offering than any other place. If you need a lot of care, they do the very best at providing it. They have a lot of licensing and they have a very strong commitment to providing care. They have a lot of ability to provide in-place medical care and nursing care and to meet your complete medical needs right on-site. They have a variety of rooms. The 2-bedrooms are a lot smaller, and they have some nice 1-bedrooms as well. It's just not quite the same large apartment feeling. It's a little more clinical, but they were fine and very nice. The pricing was very reasonable.

I visited Mariposa Point of Surprise with my parents and it was great. Amy showed us around and really provided a candid and transparent view of the different options. This place is brand new and very nice. If it is in your price range I highly recommend it! And Amy is the best!

Mariposa Point is only three months old. It has 90 units, with a small population of 15 people right now. It has been comfortable enough for us so far, it's just that they don't have a lot of flexibility with the menu so we sometimes go and get outside meals. They provide activities like Bingo and have people come in to sing and a few other things. The staff is still in training, so it's one of the sore spotsm, because there are a lot of new people and turnovers right now.

Mariposa is brand new, very nice, but a little beyond our price point. There were only 11 residents when we were there. The room is beautiful, you bring your own furniture, and the whole place is gorgeous. The apartments do not have a washer and dryer, but the service is available.
Memory Care Reviews for Mariposa Point of Surprise

We have chosen Mariposa Point of Surprise. Compared to where my mom is, it is much brighter and we are familiar with a couple of the staff members. The room is bigger for the same amount of money. We were impressed. The only thing we're waiting for now is their response. The staff needs to have a key to get into the patient's room, so we feel that the security would be good. In terms of cleanliness and the way they run the facility, we're suitably impressed. I think it will be an easy transition for our mom. It's not that far and it is just right around the corner from where she is. The person who answered the door was our contact person and he was very nice. He greeted us, he gave his name, and he had a name tag. We really like the apartment. It's nice, it suits our needs much better. It's a little bigger and it's not any more expensive. They don't furnish, but that's fine. We have plenty of furniture.
