"My mom was at Norbert Personal Care and her experience was good. They worked with her, and they got her to where she could move into an independent living facility. She loved the staff, and my mom even went back to help the director in charge of activities with the Christmas party; that's how much she loved it. The room was very spacious and clean. They were having some staffing issues, the cook walked out, and the food declined. The activities were awesome."

"The rooms that they showed us at Graceful Care Living just had a bed in them, and that's it. We knew immediately when we got there that that wasn't what we were looking for. The staff mentioned that they have another section for people who are more independent. However, it was still somewhat the same concept. Instead of being in a room, like a small, single room, there were two beds. There was no television in those independent rooms. You have to go out of the room to watch television. It was that type of atmosphere, and my mother doesn't want that. She wants something that's like a small apartment, where she can live in that small space and be able to care for herself. I liked the atmosphere. I liked the staff. They're very nice and very accommodating as we went through the tour. My mom asked questions, although she didn't ask very many because she knew, and I could tell just from how she was withdrawn that she was like, "No, this is not going to work for me." I said it to the guy. I said, she's a lot more independent. She can get around fairly well, but this is not for her. She still needs to be in her own place where she can take care of herself. The only thing that she needed was somebody to help her, like to come in and help her to make sure that she's taking her meds. I didn't smell anything. It was very clean."

"Everything was fine at Franciscan Manor except that the rooms were really small. You could have a single bed, and they tell you to bring a chair. You couldn’t turn around in the room because it’s very small. They had windows about eight inches high. You have to have the light on in your room all day. It looked like they had wonderful food, nice menu, and nice grounds, and a greenhouse. They had a lot of nice things, but I would go crazy in a room that size. They had more activities, like bingo every day. It looked like they go out and drive somewhere every week. The staff was very nice and friendly."

"My mother-in-law moved into Harmony at Diamond Ridge. Nicole, the one who gave us the tour several times, had the biggest impact on my mother. She was very thorough, showing us the entire facility several times, answering all of the questions, providing and explaining the care my mother would be receiving, which met all of the criteria I needed for her. And so far, so good. They're wonderful, very helpful, get her down to her meals, bring her back, take her to activities, introduce her to other residents, and make her feel comfortable and at home. She loves the food. We can also eat with her if we'd like, and we have several times. The food is wonderful. They have a special every day, but there is also a completely different menu, so if it's something she doesn't like, she can order it from there. It's the cleanest facility I have been in. They have a ton of activities. They have art class, cards, and bingo. They have a coffee chat every morning, where residents can get together. They go down to the bistro and have coffee, get to know the other residents, have a snack or something, and talk, which she did, and she likes that really well. They have a lot of different activities. You get a schedule, and it's the whole day. If you want to be doing something every minute of the day, you can be. They go on outings and take them to restaurants and stores. I chose this facility because it seemed the best fit for her. The size of the facility, the staff, the director, and everyone that we have met. It just seemed like a perfect fit for her. All the facilities that I took her to, her exact words were that they felt like home to her."

"AP is a real find! You can't do better for cost, living accommodation & staff. Staff is helpful, friendly & attentive & takes care to ensure residents can be interactive & have some fun with games, movies & a great outdoor space for warm weather. Timely housekeeping/laundry & food is very good. We had excellent access to staff & Director - all very easy to talk with and always addressed needs/issues timely-even immediately when possible. Staff was empowered to take responsibility - no passing the buck, always willing to help. They treated our relative like their own & still treated us like family with kindness & caring after the passing of our loved one. Could not have asked for more. Highly recommend."

"My father is here for four months now. It is very nice and we like it. They take good care and they pay attention to him. He likes the food there also. He has a private room which is very comfortable. We are very happy and we can visit him almost every day. They have weight and exercise classes and they have movies. It seems to be very nice for him."

"I toured. Mike was very personable and very knowledgeable. He showed me around the whole facility and a sample room and how the setup was with my mom. They were doing some activity, so I got to see a little bit of what they had going on at the facility. It had a very personable, friendly atmosphere. I did not have a meal, but they said they had a personal cook on staff that made meals fresh, which I liked."

"I toured the facility for assisted living for my mom, an Alzheimer's patient. While the tour was very informative and helped me make my decision to place Mom there, I would have liked to know at the beginning that we could also have hospice care, if she qualified. She is now on hospice, but she could have been before now. The home is an excellent environment for Mom. She is comfortable, happy and safe. "

"The team at Juniper Village works very hard to ensure each resident is cared for in a way that is individualized. The Administrator's responsiveness and involvement are above and beyond. "

"We moved our mom into Brookdale 1 math ago. We started with a list of 20 places in the area, narrowed it to six, then 2. Brookdale was a CLEAR winner. Although she was nervous and VERY apprehensive about leaving the home she lived in for 50 years, she is now truly is like a new woman; walking around confidently, welcoming new residents to the community, and keeping herself engaged every day!"

"We have my mother-in-law set up in Oakleaf Personal Care Home. The community is spectacular, terrific, and wonderful. Her room is perfect. They have entertainment that comes in from time to time and play bingo in the morning. They have a priest that comes to say the rosary and have religious services. They have a pool table and many televisions around the place. The food is good; they have fine dining facilities. The staff is exceptional and give her so much care far beyond my expectations. "

"The facilities at Locust Grove were very clean and kept up well. They were very personable; they took time and explained stuff. However, they didn't have many activities for the residents, especially the ones that were active. "

"My husband has moved into Abode Care of Monroeville assisted living. I was impressed with its front. It's just nice when you walk into the area. His room is spacious. They were able to get him into a semi-private one but nobody else is in there with him so that's a good thing. I would say they're short of staff. They invited us to a gathering there, it was a Thanksgiving dinner, and all the staff from all areas seemed to be there. They were very friendly and helpful but they don't have enough staff at night. They come if you need them, though. They have a thing around my husband's neck and sometimes we call if we want them to do something and they come. Physical therapy is all my husband has been able to do but they have a TV room where people meet. I was told that they have games, too, but he doesn't want to participate in them. The dining area is nice and spacious. The people are not jammed up on each other and they have nice tables. My husband just complains about the food because it seems like it's not freshly cooked. I guess they had it brought in. He is accustomed to home-cooked food so he complains about it."
