"Our family can't say enough wonderful things about Danbury! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by welcoming staff who truly make residents feel at home. The building is always beautifully maintained and you can tell how much pride they take in keeping everything clean and comfortable. My mom is a resident and she has absolutely loved the variety of activities. Danbury has to offer. One of the highlights has been the opportunity for residents to go on trips. It is so special to see how much thought and care goes into keeping everyone active and engaged. As a family, we also love how often they include us in their events for the residents. It means so much to me included in activities with my mom! We are so grateful for the kindness, professionalism, and genuine compassion shown by everyone at Danbury. It gives us such peace of mind knowing my mom is in such good hands and enjoying living life everyday!"

"I visited this facility. The staff was excellent. The room sizes were very nice. They weren't really small. There was plenty of room for furniture, plenty of room for moving around, and having company in, that kind of thing. The dining area was very large, very neat, and clean. The parking situation was good. There were no issues whatsoever."

"Brookdale Alliance seemed nice enough. There were ladies out in the community areas. They seemed to be friends and they seemed to be comfortable. The building itself was nice. They have a beauty/barbershop. They have activities. It was a nice enough one. The lady who was helping us was very helpful, and she has called a couple of times to check and see how things were going. But I don't think we could afford it and we didn't feel that home-like feeling there. It felt more institutional to us. I'm not sure what all the activities were, but they had a calendar up with the various things that were happening there in the building. They have a small patio out in the front, and they said people like to sit out there and watch the traffic. It wasn't like a private area. We were not impressed with the fact that everything was extra. We didn't meet the other staff but the lady that we meet with was very helpful."

"We had a tour at Danbury in Alliance. They were a total non-smoking facility, and my brother smokes. That was probably the biggest issue, plus the price. "

"Overall we are very pleased with the care our loved one has received at Danbury. What we especially like is the staff keeps the residents involved with daily activities. They are constantly involved and are not just sitting in their room. The challenge always with a facility like this is human resources and Danbury has this challenge as well, but for the most part the staff is very aware and compassionate. Our loved one is in the memory care unit and we feel he is very safe and secure in this unit. We chose Danbury because of strong recommendations from friends and family. We have been pleased with our choice and would recommend Danbury without reservation."

"If your looking for a home like setting look no further Danbury in the woods is the place. My dad and mother in law both reside here! My dad has been here 3 years and mother in law almost 6 months. My dad and mother in law are always looked after and cared for in a loving and compassionate way along with all the other residents.They are always engaged in activities or on outings! Danbury has picnics and special events that extended family is invited and not to mention the food (very good) I have always been greeted and treated like family, I have nothing but Praise and Gratitude for Danbury and everyone that works here they’re ALL AMAZING!! "

"Kentridge Senior Living was very clean. The people I met there were very, very friendly. The staff was really nice and very helpful. They're still contacting me to make sure we don't have any questions or need any other help. I think they go beyond and I've never heard that in other places. The dining area was very good. It's like a restaurant and there are no scheduled meals. It's open from 7 am to 7 pm. They also take trips to restaurants and stuff on the bus."

"Mom is at Mulberry Gardens Senior Living. The people seem very friendly, but the most important thing why we chose it was it's very close to where I live and to where everybody lives around. It's a very nice facility and people have been super helpful. It's been a very good choice so far. She seems to be happy with what they're feeding her and everything. They've had music activities, yoga, little exercise, crafts, and take them out on field trips if they're able to or shopping and stuff. So, there are quite a bit of things going on. I'm very happy with everything."

"Regent of Stow was a nice place I would consider acceptable. They have good staff there. They have a good facility. They have a doctor and nurses that they employ. They have a movie theater and a nice dining hall. They play bingo, and they have recreational activities. The place seemed clean. We were there around lunchtime and people were being served. What I saw on the table looked all right, but we didn't have a chance to sample any of it. The staff during the tour was very nice and pleasant. She's a nurse and one of the management people there."

"Both my parents, in their 90's, were at Maplewood during covid, a very challenging time. We felt that the facility and staff were the best in the region, and they proved it every day. Because of mandated restrictions at times, it was challenging for the staff, but they tirelessly pressed on and made my parents stay the best it could be."

"Mom was with Brookdale-Chambrel Montrose for five years and they were great. We grew fond with everybody there because they were super nice. My mom moved there with dementia and they let her remain independent with a lot of services. She had a beautiful apartment, which is a great big two-bedroom, two-bathroom place. The food was really good and the dining room was like an old college dining room. They had a lot of activities like exercise, outings, musical groups and people from the symphony came down to play. They had a current events group and there were people who write their own stories and they read them to each other. I would recommend them to others. "

"I toured Heritage Crossing. It's going to fit my needs very well for my mother. The rooms were nice. The pricing was fair from what I'm seeing with the market. I liked it because there were more individual residents versus couples, which made it easier for my mother. In the lobby, everything is very welcoming. I like that they have very nice gathering areas all through the facility, so family and friends can always go off into a private area with beautiful furniture or fireplaces. They have a theater room. The activities that they have are fabulous. I met the chef. The restaurant looks wonderful. There's enough to pick some off the menu without being too much. I did look at the menu. It looks like a bistro-type menu. It was very nice, chicken waffles and that kind of stuff. I think the chef makes maybe one special for the night. Then you have a couple of other choices if you want. They had a trick-or-treat there yesterday from the kids' school. Kids in the area could come through. The residents made Halloween hats and cast and costumes and we're excited to have the kids there. I was impressed, like sitting in the lobby while I was waiting to talk to the medical director about my mother's situation. The housekeeper team, they're joking around with the managers. I love that. I just thought that they all seemed to enjoy each other's company."

"I went to Eden Vista of Stow. We liked that it looked clean and homey, not like a big, fancy hotel. The apartments had a living area, a kitchen area, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The person who took us around was very friendly and very informative."
