Christina Place

My mom is at Christina Place. The staff is great. The food is terrible but the facility is excellent. Her room is very nice and large. It's laid out like a hotel with rooms all over the place. I like most the end room, with two windows and sun coming in. The living atmosphere is good. They have something going on all the time: ice cream socials, wine and cheese, bingo, and card games. From Monday to Friday, they have something going on several times a day and weekends is very lacking. Weekend is a ghost town. The dining area is outstanding. They have one cook that's very good and then the other cooks are not, that's from listening to my mother. They have physical therapy, exercise room, laundry room, sauna, and closed-in courtyards if you have a dog as they allow pets. They need to improve on the quality of the food. I did complain about no fruit, and since then they have fresh fruits every day, but it took me to complain. The facilities are clean and there's no odor. They're not getting them a Christmas Tree.

I really liked my tour at Christina Place. I thought it was nice. I thought their rooms were also very, very nice, and I liked the set up. The rooms we looked at were one-bedroom apartments. They actually had doors separating the two rooms so one person could be in one room and the other person in another room so there's privacy if you want. The staff was very nice and very friendly. Everybody seemed pretty happy and I think it was good.

My friend moved into Christina Place, and I've been very happy with them. It's clean, the staff is prompt about everything, the food is good, and it seems like she's getting good care. Her room is very adequate, perfect for what she needs, and we furnished it. It's very homey.

The rooms are nice. There is very poor management although the rest of the staff is nice and caring. There is never enough help. Memory care residents are together with othrr residents so it appears more of a nursing home rather than an assisted living facility. The food is another issue, they often run out of basics like bread, jelly, eggs and buns. They do not serve a well balanced menu and the portions are skimpy. On the plus side they do have a good maintenance person. I cannot recommend this facility as the residents do not get the help they a at e paying for.

My sister was at Christina Place. There were lots of things that I didn't like there. Their Alzheimer's patients that were really with it were all together; that's not good. Those people need to have a place where they can be taken care of. They had people sitting in the lobby. They were asleep and their mouths were open; they were watching TV and they looked asleep. It was not nice. When you walk in, it doesn't give you a good impression. The staff was great, but the food was terrible. The place was very nice and clean. They didn't have a pool. They had some entertainment, but I'm not sure what that entails. My sister had a very nice apartment. It was spacious; she had a lot of room. The dining room was crowded, but it was nice. The lighting was OK.

My father moved into Christina Place, and it's fine so far. They are very nice and good at communicating with me, which I am very pleased with. I ate with him, and the food is pretty typical.

Christina House had a good atmosphere. The staff was excellent, helpful, and accommodating. I looked at a studio apartment that was smaller but clean and well-maintained. It was really bright and upbeat.

A lady from our church lives in Christina Place. It is a pretty nice, comfortable place. It is not as fancy, and the dining rooms have only 20 or 30 seats. The rooms may be not quite as fancy, but my dad does not care about that. Nothing about it turns me off. This lady and her family seem to get along. They have been pretty happy with it. It looks nice to me.
