The Colony Club ALF

My friend is in The Colony Club in Sunrise. It's a good facility and her room is really nice and a pretty good size. It's better than the ones I looked at. She's there to make sure she gets her medications. The food smelled really good and looked nice. They have a social area, a theater room, and they play bingo. Everybody I met was really nice. They have a big area for activities. It's a very clean facility. I was impressed.

My mother-in-law has been a current resident at The Colony Club for the past year and a half and overall we have been very happy. It has a high nurse to patient ratio which is why we moved her there from her previous facility. The security is very good, with an alarm on the main entrance door so that residents cannot leave without permission. The small size of the facility has been very good for her as well because she is not isolated on a higher floor away from the staff. However, the best thing about The Colony Club is the staff. The new Administrator Donna is great - she is very hands on & involved with each resident. Ann, the head nurse during the day, is very caring & hard working. They do have activities such as music or bingo, and a bus takes them to Publix and Walmart once a week. They also have a bus to take them to Doctor appointments as long as the appointment is before noon on weekdays. Overall, I would recommend this facility to others looking for an assisted living facility for their family member.

I love The Colony Club in Sunrise. It's very nice, and the staff was great. The place looked clean, and the rooms were nice. I saw both assisted living and memory care. I love the environment. It's small, so it's homier.

The Colony Club in Sunrise is pretty bare bones. This place is small, but not like tiny, it's just very nice and very clean, and everybody there seemed very caring. I brought my mom there so she could be evaluated, and she loved it. It's very secure, they can't get in or out without somebody being aware, which is very important. The rooms are small, but they don’t want them in the rooms, they want them out and about. They only have about 25 people there, and that's great. The place is very basic, but it's kind of a warm feeling there, and that's what's different about it. They have like three different levels of care. Everything in there is on one floor, and most of these other places have elevators and stairs, so this place is just perfect. The people that I met, which include the head nurse and the woman who's in charge, were absolutely wonderful. The amenities aren't that great, but it's fine. They also play bingo every day and they do other stuff too.

The Colony Club in Sunrise is an extremely well-run and caring home where we’re very happy to have our dad. My dad has a private room that’s always clean, well-cared for, and the furniture is very nice provided. The amenities, rooms, activities, and overall setting made it a lot easier to transition him. When he went there, he was 123 pounds, and when he went to the doctor days ago he went up to 139, so the good must be good. IT doesn’t look like institutional food, and it looks well-prepared.

Place riddled with cockroaches and multiple other insects, filthy and smells like urine throughout. Residents constantly having their belongs stolen and management response, "There is nothing we can do."

From the outstanding staff to the quality of care, we are happy to recommend the Colony Club in Sunrise, Florida to any family who us looking for the ultimate in senior care. Our Mother, Lola Ludwig has been a resident at the Colony Club since 2008, and has certaintly found her ideal home there. We take great comfort in knowing her days are filled with comradery and activities that keep her 84 years young. She especially loves bingo and Sunday afternoons, when live entertainment fills the activity room with laughter and hand clapping sing-a-longs. Movie time and cards also help to round out other fun days. We take great comfort in knowing that all holidays are celebrated, and she is fulfilled with fellowship and many activities when we are not there. The chef and his staff provide excellent meals and fun desserts that we hear about every evening when we speak to her. We are truly blessed to have found The Colony Club.

I had to find a assisted living facility for a patient who I have been taking care of,( who is like a mom to me) at the time was 88yrs old, She was a mess( from memory loss to falling, etc.). Anyway, I was so fortunate to be referred here, It has saved her life. Lonnie, The Executive Director was & is very Compassionate for the residents & their families, As his staff ,Lynn who is the Admissions Counselor couldn't of helped me thru this process any nicer with her warm caring personality,always going outta her way to help the resident & their family , to explaining all about their programs from daily activities (arts & crafts to daily bingo, to entertainment on the weekends) to what the nursing staff duties are.
