My mom is in Wayman Place. It's a smaller facility with only 60 people, and they all seemed to be very friendly and know each other. I like the staff. They had a deluxe and a deluxe special which is a bigger room. My mom's room has plenty of room. The grounds are very nice, and it's set back from the main road, so it's quiet. They offer a lot of activities.

Brookdale Longwood was smaller than expected. The rooms were a little smaller; more like an efficiency than a room you would want to stay in or a hotel room. The staff was friendly and tried to answer all my questions. They were kind, but the surroundings just weren’t what we were looking for. I don’t think they can improve unless they make the place larger. It was just smaller; not as many people, and not as many rooms. The carpets were kind of dirty when we were there, and they could maybe clean it up; maybe new carpet, and keep it cleaner. It’s not too inviting when you walk in somewhere and you see that.

Brookdale Longwood (formerly Southland Suites) was really good. However, it was more assisted living, and my loved one is more inclined to independent living. The staff gave me the tour and information packages and followed up with me quite a few times to see if I had any more questions or if they could answer any concerns I might have. The place was smaller than the other ones we saw and had smaller rooms without full kitchens. The rooms were more efficiency-type with a microwave instead of a full kitchen. They had buses that come and go, bingo, and arts and crafts.

Brookdale Longwood was a little bit more modern, updated in their facilities, and newer than the other place I visited, but they basically provided the same type of services. They do the laundry, meals, and transportation. I really liked their staff. They're easygoing, and they would not hammer you so hard. They were more like one-room type of facility, and they had activities like arts and crafts.

My mom has been in Brookdale (Southland Suites) since August. Cost was the main reason we chose it. The room is like a little suite, and it has a microwave, sink, cabinets, and 2 big closets. The staff is very good. The food is excellent. They have specials for the day, but you can also choose off of the different menu if you would like something else. We had tossed salad and barbecue chicken with all kinds of different sides; it was very, very good.
They do have a little exercise class in the mornings. They do history trivia. They have a lot of musical talent that comes in. They have an activities room on the second floor. The people can do different things. I’ve gotten to be very, very close to the director and also the marketing director. They care very much about the residents.

Southland suites is the one I’m going to go with if I can’t find anything else. The rooms are nice and clean. The activities are interesting. They have different art things, getting out, and dances. The staff was wonderful and very nice. I’m happy with the tour.

I have visited brethrens who have rooms at Southland Suites. This community was very good. They have a policy of letting a family member and friend join the loved ones staying there with the meal and they let the occasional meal that you would have with them, be free. They wouldn't charge me for it. That was really nice. They did have a nice activity room. They had a nice rehab room, it didn't seem big.

I like Southland Suites for my grandmother. I like that it is a smaller place and that it is only two floors. I like the in-house therapy there. I also like the people and the accessibility to my relative. However, the meals, I think, are pretty poor. Also their dining room. It is a basic assisted living facility.

I have come across Southland Suites through an online search. It was a brand new facility but it was just out of my budget. The staff was very nice. They showed me everything. They're very good and very efficient. The place was immaculate and the food was good. I like that people there were nice too.

I visited this facility when I was looking for a temporary place for my Dad to stay while we were away. It is a very beautiful place. When I toured the facility the residents were engaged in activities and seemed happy. The room I was shown was lovely. Everything was clean and welcoming. We ended up not choosing this facility because it is a bit distant from our home.

I just had a request for my mother to stay at Southland Suites for one week while we went on vacation. Her stay there was very good and she liked it pretty well, but there was no need for her to go there fulltime. When we do, we will consider this place.

My parents are moving into the Southland Suites on Thursday. We chose this place based on the relationship with the staff and their residents, the care that they gave them, the rooms that the apartments had, and how the place looked to me.

My first impression of this place was given by the state of the grounds, they were immaculate. The management here definitely take time to care for the aesthetics of the area. The staff that I had a chance to meet were very helpful and kind to the other elderly people living here. All of the amenities provided to the residents were taken care of and kept nice. The Family Room that was provided for the party met the space needs of our birthday event. My grandmother was very pleased with how her needs were immediately taken care of when they arose. The meals that are provided to the residents are well made and delivered on time. The nurses are well trained and know what they are doing when it comes to geriatrics. Overall I was very pleased with this place and I am comfortable with my grandmother living here.
