Sonata Boynton Beach

Sonata Boynton Beach was a really comfortable and nice setting. It's smaller, more of a home feel for the seniors, and a quieter facility, but very nice. The staff was very caring and very attentive to the seniors' needs. It's well-kept and well-maintained, too.

My mother is in Sonata Boynton Beach. The food is not that great. She gets her showers pretty regularly. The cleanliness could be better because we have to keep on them about shampooing the rug. They have a lot of mosquitos around the premises and she has been bitten by them. She is allergic to mosquitos and they know about it. They're trying to do something, but they can't seem to get a handle on the mosquitos and bugs. We also have to keep on them about the carpet in her room. Their refrigerators are so low you have to bend down to open up and get things. It's been a problem for her and they know that, and a lot of people have been complaining about that as well. The staff is great, and the activities are pretty good.

We've been very happy with Sonata Boynton Beach. My dad seems to be enjoying himself there. The care and food are very good. The people are friendly. The place is clean, and they've done everything we asked. So far we haven't had any issues. My father is happy with the food. It's a small community so it's a little more personalized. He's enjoying going to meals and has had no complaints so far. They seem to have activities and entertainment almost every day. They travel to places and they have community meetings, so if there are issues to be addressed, they can be addressed with the director. They've been very responsive with the things that I have asked for as a newcomer, and they've been very responsive. They also have 24-hour visiting times. There are a couple of things I'd like to see, like exhaust fans in the bathroom. I think they're a very good facility. They have been very good in making Dad comfortable and in answering our questions. The staff members always have a smile on their faces and they always say good morning. The place is painted in nice soft colors and they have a really pretty backyard. I like the size of the room and it's perfect for my dad. From everything I've seen, they seem to be one of the better places. I would definitely recommend for people to go there. The activities are very good and appropriate for assisted living. They cater to their clientele. It's also a good value for the money, and it's better than I expected.

We were very well received at Sonata. We got a really good feeling about it. We had the opportunity to speak with one of the residents. Quite frankly, she had a lot of good things to say; that's why we decided to trust our gut and go with it. My father-in-law's room has plenty of natural light, which was nice. It had a private bathroom, and it's more than enough to fill his needs. He's in the memory care. He also has a full-time caregiver that we employ for him. The caregiver takes him out to an eating area outside. They go outside periodically. Just the fact that he can get out and taken outside for a while, and interact with other people, we found that to be very promising. I have nothing bad to say bad about them at this point. It's expensive, no doubt. But compare to some of the other places that we've seen, and the kind of money that they get, I'd say Sonata is a good value. A number of people had been there a number of years. They come from a background of healthcare, especially with the elderly. That in itself, to me, speaks volume about a company or an organization with people who stay there for a long time. Then they must be doing something right.

Sonata Boynton Beach was OK, but the price was too high. The community area wasn't upgraded. The gentleman that I dealt with was very accommodating and very nice, but they didn't have a pool or a nice seating area, and I didn't observe any activities. Their rooms were big.

I liked the convenience of Brookdale. It’s on the way to the hospital where my husband has to go. The people that I saw and showed me around were very pleasant. I like light and bright places, so they need more windows to let more light in, especially here in Florida. There isn't a lot of parking.

Brookdale Boynton Beach was newer compared to another facility I visited, and they were doing some redecorating. The hallways were wider, the lighting was better, and the colors inside were better. It was just much more cheerful. I really liked this place, and it would have been my second choice. The gentleman who gave me the tour was very helpful and very nice. This place has a pull cord in the bedroom and bathroom if they need help or assistance.
