Cadence at Olney

Carol

Cadence Living Olney is lovely. The facility is really good. We looked at a studio and a one-bedroom. The studio was lovely. They both had a small kitchen facility, but we liked the one bedroom, just to have that extra space. We viewed the physical therapy room, activities room, and dining room. Everything was so pretty and people were so friendly. I was impressed by that. They have a nice screened-in porch and there's a nature preserve behind, which was a nice feature, to have those trees behind you and then a walkway all around the place. They all seemed genuinely friendly. We saw interactions between staff and residents there, and they were all positive. My son and daughter-in-law ate lunch there and talked with three of the residents who were all very positive about the place and happy living there. They like the food.

Cadence Living Olney was very clean and very nice. The staff seemed nice. The building was kept up very well. It was a very nice house. The staff I met were very helpful, very nice, and very friendly. They seemed to know all the residents' names, and they were friendly with them, and they would talk to them.

Cadence Living Olney was very nice and very clean. It was decorated nicely. I felt like they were very buttoned up, which is what you want to make sure you have for your loved ones. They gave a great tour. They had a hairdresser and I saw an outdoor garden area. They seemed to have a good ratio of staff to residents. There were plenty of activities and they had the staff to support it. The rooms looked pretty nice. The showers did not have a lift, it was straight. If someone needs to roll in, they could just roll straight in.

My mom moved to Cadence Living Olney. It's still fairly new and so far it's ok, but I'm not gonna say it's the bed. I guess I expect more from people, and I'm not getting it, so that's my problem. I expected more kindness and smiles, although there were a lot of people there that smiled more there than at her old facility. The room needs to be cleaned a little better but it's pretty clean. The place is only about seven months old. The food also looked better because they give more vegetables, but I haven't tried it. We made a Valentine's wreath for their doors the other day. I haven't seen much of the activities but I'd like to see more because they watch a lot of TV and that's not good. The value for money is better because mom is sharing a room, so it's $4000 cheaper than the other place. There was another facility there I wanted her to go to, but the price was high and they had to share a bathroom and showers with others, unlike this one.

I've toured Cadence Living Olney. It was nice and lovely, but it was a couple of thousand a month that I was willing to do. All of them are expensive, but Cadence was nice because it was brand new, so they had everything you needed in the same kind of situation. But I wasn't as happy with the companion suites as the other place, they didn't have actual separate bedrooms. They had a half wall that came three-quarters of the way down, but it didn't go all the way. So you weren't alone if you wanted to be, and there was no door to close. That's the only thing I didn't like about them. The staff members were very personable, and the one who gave the tour was very nice. She was very, very nice and knew her job very well, and took us for a whole complete tour of everything that we needed to see. Their dining area was nice. When we went people were sitting down and eating, and they had helpers to feed them, so it was good. They have a separate room for watching the television, they have a separate room for exercising, they have one room where there's a big screen TV and you can do activities like online bowling and online stuff like that. So it was kind of interesting. You can exercise with the TV and it was a very nice setup. I would have gone there in a million years if it wasn't so expensive, but it was just a little too pricey. It was so brand new and everything was perfectly clean, you could still smell the paint.

We will choose Cadence at Olney because we felt that the residents were more in line with where my mother is at this time, they were more on her level. It was a brand new place and there were options in choosing what room she wanted. It was bright and clean, we just felt very comfortable there. My mother and brother thought the food was great, they really liked it. Mom participated in a group coffee activity that was in the morning, they had chair yoga and that sort of exercise class when we were there. We saw in the activities room that the residents were doing some sort of art project. We love the fact that they have a movie theater that we could reserve for family nights. They had spaces where if we wanted to have a party for mom, we can bring friends over and there'll be a space available to do that. It just seemed very welcoming and warm. It just seemed like home. They seemed very comfortable, warm, and welcoming and the staffs are very friendly and accommodating. And it seemed to be a good fit for what we needed from my mom.
