"My mom lived at Country Gardens for two months. The experience has been wonderful. The staff was friendly. The place was very clean. She loves the food. She couldn't have had a better experience. We chose a one-room apartment with a handicapped bathroom. We didn't choose a separate bedroom this time because it was easier for her to get around. They have daily activities, which range from ice cream socials, to bingo, dice, and music. Every day is a different activity. They have a courtyard and they have a private dining room for families. They have two activity rooms. They have a library. They have a room with a fireplace you can enjoy. They have a nutrition station where you can help yourself with snacks and beverages."

"For the most part I felt like this place had several good workers that cared for the residents. I saw good teamwork among the workers and good communication. The staff really cared about the residents. I would gladly refer someone to this nursing home. I was impressed with the building and am excited to hear that they recently added on more room to the facility. There were many activities available for the residents and the food was good. I felt like they took good care of my Grandmother when she stayed there. The facility smelled pleasant and I was happy to find my Grandmother clean and comfortable every time I went to see her, which was quite frequent. Overall, the atmosphere was good. The only thing I can really complain about is the safety alarms that frequently went off; however, I realize they went off to keep the residents safe. "

"My dad is at Courtney Manor. He is getting excellent care and he seems to be adjusting well. I have had several phone calls with the staff, they are very caring, and they're very self-conscious about making sure that I get every update that I need. He says they feed him very well, so he has no complaints. As far as I know, there has not been many issues with his room, so I would assume it is being kept clean, and he seems to be comfortable. They do have activities, however, right now, with the COVID restrictions, they're keeping everything to a minimum, so he really hasn't done too much of that. We're hoping as soon as COVID restrictions are lifted he'll be up to do more the activities and stuff."

"Northwood Meadows - A Senior Living Community was a well-managed very clean facility. It's very spacious. The rooms were very well organized and set out. It looked like they had a very active community there and activities for the seniors. It seemed reasonable for the price; it just was not part of our price range. They have small studio apartments. They have a variety of rooms. The staff who accommodated me was very kind and very knowledgeable about the situation there and the situation with the residents. It looked like they were just under a remodel, so things were looking good and updated with the electrical and everything. It was very attractive. I saw that they were having some games in the community room."

"My visit to Tendercare was fine, and my mother-in-law was there at the time. The staff seemed really nice, and the place was comfortable. She liked everything except the food and the time she was in the nursing home doing rehab. The rooms are fairly small, and the grounds looked like they were well taken care of. "

"I absolutely love this facility. It is privately owned and operated by some really great people. I have a friend that lives here. He is relatively independent however, he must have twenty four hour supervision due to a learning disability. My friend, Mike, has been in several different homes and this has been the best one for him. I do believe he is here to stay. He has been living in this particular place for three years and has done fabulous. Mike enjoys being independent and is allowed several options concerning his daily plans. When Mike first came to this facility he was a bit skinny. Not anymore, as the staff that are employed here are wonderful cooks and I do believe he has gained at least twenty pounds. Mike has his own room which is very important to him as he does like to have his alone time. He enjoys making jewelry then having staff take him to different craft shows and flea markets to sell his wares. Mike seems to have come such a long way since living in this facility and I am so proud of him and the staff that work here who are compassionate and caring. I couldn't imagine him anywhere else. "

"Timberline Lodge Inc would have been a very nice place; however, they don't accept people in a wheelchair. We were not aware of that before the tour, so therefore we couldn't place my brother there, but I was very, very impressed with the place. The staff and the residents appeared to be happy and pleasant. The rooms were very comfortable. There's a bed and a dresser, and you can bring your own TV and a reclining chair if you wish to, or any other type of chair. When I was there, they were watching TV, some were reading, and some were just relaxing and meditating. It's a very nice assisted living home, and it appeared to be very clean."

"My Mother has alzheimer's and they have a wonderful locked facility. Their care is kind and they use redirection very well. It is extremely clean and they take great care to be sure my Mother eats well. "

"My brother is at S&D Senior Living Home right now. He's getting physical therapy and occupational therapy there, and he has a visiting nurse two or three days a week. I get to visit him every week. The facility is relatively new and the lady who runs the home used to work in mental health, so she has a vast knowledge of the types of people who need assistance in living. There are five other men in the community and one woman. My brother's bedroom is almost like a private area. He has a living room, a dining room, a bedroom, and a bathroom. He is on the south end of the building, so as far as I'm concerned, it's a good arrangement for him. They provide his meals, they help him with his bathing and showering, and somebody is there 24/7. The last time I was there -- I believe it was Black Friday -- at dinner time they had pasta salad and a beverage. They only serve home-cooked meals, rather than food from some type of food service. They prepare it all from scratch. The place is very clean. They don't allow the residents to eat in their bedrooms because they're all carpeted. They served my brother a snack too. The weather has been cold here so they couldn't be taken outside, but I have taken him out two times since he's been there."
