Hamilton Trace

Hamilton Trace was fine, but it's not what we're looking for. It's a good tour, and we enjoyed it. The staff was very cooperative, informative, and well prepared for our visit. The rooms were just fair. We were looking at the apartments. The activities and amenities were adequate as far as I could tell.

I went to Hamilton Trace. They wanted to sell me on independent living because that is what they had available. Their independent living area was very nice, but my mother needs assisted living and they didn’t have an area for that. The ceilings were low and although the hallways were wide, I did not get a nice feeling about it. They really didn’t have open spaces, and you felt like you were walking down the school hallway and there were classrooms as opposed to activity rooms, which was not a very inviting situation. It looked like an institutional nursing home. The staff member was nice and willing to share her time. She was very energetic and did her job well. They need to take off the glass windows in their activity rooms that are open to the corridor and leave the whole room open; at least widen the opening. The rooms looked comfortable, but they seemed very dark to me. They had a lot of paneling and, for being a new facility, it looked old because of the paneling.

Grandmother was recently at Hamilton Trace after a stroke (may-july). Therapist and activities went above and beyond to get her back living independently as well as making sure she was active in some of the community activities and holiday events offered. I haven't seen my grandmother that full of life in quite some time. Very pleased with all the amenities. Will definitely be back in the future if needed.

Services and level of care has to be followed up every day. Infections happened inside the facility, reported the wounds to the staff many times before they saw it or provide medical care. Physicians rarely visit the facility.

I recently looked at Hamilton Trace. I thought it was well-staffed. It had many activities. They seemed to be well-cared-for. As far as I can tell, the staff seemed to be knowledgeable. What I noticed was that they seemed to be very aware of what the responsibilities were with the other people that they were working with. They seemed to be organized. There was no confusion or that kind of thing. It was in an upscale and very safe area. It was easy to go to. It was right off a major interstate. If the people were out of town, it was accessible. The neighborhood was a very nice surrounding. I saw the activities list, and it was very similar to what I had seen at various other facilities as well. However, I cannot speak on the actual quality of the activities and how well they were run, but it looked like they had substantial offers in terms of the activities, and kept the people in the assisted area engaged in the community. At this point, based on the information that I had, I would probably make a recommendation for them to certainly look at it. I thought it was a very viable option.

My mother chose Hamilton Trace. She used it because there are washers and dryers in the room, and that’s the only reason. She is 94, and I think she does a tiny little bit of washing everyday and I don’t know what she washes. I didn’t dislike it, but I didn’t see a lot of residents wheeling about like the other places. I think most of their activities were on the second floor, so we didn’t see a lot of people because they are on the second floor than on the first floor like the places, so it’s hard to judge, but the rooms were nice, and they had plenty of activities. We saw people going out to activities, but the reason my mother selected it is because of the washer and dryer and the cost was right. It was newer than the other two, and I don’t think it had as much homey feeling as the other two, but then that was me.

Hamilton Trace was very nice. This one did not have a unit available at that time of our visit but we did have lunch there and it was very good. They have a nice dining room with waiters and waitress. It was very well done.

I visited Hamilton Trace with a friend who was visiting her father who is currently a resident of the facility. The facility was much nicer than I expected and was actually a pleasant place to spend some time. I have previously only visited one other assisted living center, but it did not have the same friendly atmosphere that I experienced at Hamilton Trace. When my friend and I arrived we were immediately greeted by the staff, who helped us to find my friends father immediately. The facility itself was spotless and was a very peasant place to visit. After meeting with my friends father we both agreed that he seemed to genuinely be enjoying his time there, and his accommodations (a two room apartment) were very nice. We both agreed that the facility seemed to be well run and maintained and she was happy with her choice in assisted living centers.

The Reserve at Hamilton Trace was a-OK. I didn't see any action there with the residents. It just didn't seem like a very active community, which is what I was looking for. I saw one room and thought it was very small. The price was right, but it just didn't suit me. It was one place that didn't appeal to me.

I have been to Hamilton Trace for rehab. It was a wonderful experience. People were very nice. The dining room was not so nice, but the food was good. I was in an apartment for a month to see if I could get settled in. They have a new building that just opened up with independent living. They had good activities, and the people were very friendly. The only thing they could improve on maybe is therapy.

We moved my mother into The Reserve at Hamilton Trace. It is a phenomenal facility. Everything I see is clean, and there isn't a buy-in. She has an apartment with one bedroom and a kitchen. The activities are plenty and include movie nights in their movie theater, art, and people who come in to do presentations. They have all kinds of stuff and also go on field trips. They have a phenomenal restaurant. The facilities are fantastic. I want to move in there. They have a gym and laundry in the apartments or huge washers and dryers for free in a hall. I already recommend them to family and friends because of the reasons I mentioned.

The staff at The Reserve was impeccable. They’re professional, compassionate, very accommodating, and make you feel very much at home. The rooms are beautiful, spacious, and range from small one-bedrooms to very large two-bedrooms, two-bathrooms. You can have rentals on a month-to-month basis which is why we are there; there’s no buy-in, unless you choose to build a cottage there. They have a chef from a top-notch restaurant in the area, and the cafeteria is open to the public as well, so you can go in and just purchase food directly from off the street. They have monthly parties, personal trainers, painting class, bridge clubs, other card clubs, and everything else you can possibly imagine. However, the one-time maintenance fee is pretty steep.

I went to visit The Reserve at Hamilton Trace, and this facility were very nice, clean, and new. The rooms were well-equipped. You can go to their dining room to eat if you want. The staff was very nice and friendly.
