My mother moved into Senior Star at Wexford Place 2 weeks ago. We chose it because of its attention to rehabilitation, its medical staff, and its programs. My mom has a single apartment and it is very well- maintained. They have a community center, an in-house rehab center, and a large lobby for visitors. They have community outreach as far as entertainment. The food is good, and there's variety. The staff is very engaging and friendly.

We started from scratch. We needed to learn more about the program services available in a continuum of care facility for residents who had Parkinson Disease. What we learned was our tour guide exceeded our expectations. We came away with a fuller understanding of what special care residents can receive.

Senior Star at Wexford Place was the best one I've seen. The staff was very impressive. They got memory support games, patios, walking trails, and mailboxes that they put mail in. It's all laid out cool. The rooms were roomy and very nice with a Jack and Jill bathroom. I liked that. They got a full beauty salon, a general store where they can go in and purchase, and an in-house therapy dog, which I think is also very cool.

I'm in Senior Star at Wexford Place, and I don't care much for it. I have been here for a year now. I don't like their meals at all. They got a poor cook. It's not a bad place, but they just walk into your apartment every time they feel like it. I'm in a one-bedroom. If I'm in the bedroom with the TV on, and I don't hear somebody knock lightly on the door, they'll just walk going in, and I don't like that. These people don't understand what a door knocker is. There is a door knocker on every door, but they have to use their knuckles. Most of the girls just don't knock very loud. It's a solid wood door, so you got to be right next to it to hear. But I don't like just walking in my bed. This is my home. This is not assisted living; this is independent living. I don't want people just walking in and out of here whenever they feel it. The staff is all very nice except for the kitchen staff. They're always short in my order. I don't sit down in the dining room and eat, I always take mine with me, but they're always short in my order. Like if we have shrimp, they don't have a shrimp sauce in there. When we have fish, they forget to put the tartar sauce in. Sometimes you get a salad, and they forget to put the dressing in. Like the other night, they got my order completely wrong. I didn't even order what they sent me. Also, anything they bake or fry, it's overcooked. The meat is always overcooked. Chicken is as dry and has no flavor at all. They bake it too long. In my apartment, the carpentry and the plumbing are terrible. Whoever was doing this was an amateur or certainly was no professional. The doors don't fit right, and one of the burners doesn't even work. I don't even complain about that because everybody tells me it takes them forever to get there to fix it. So I don't even complain about that stuff. They've got all kinds of activities, but they're always too early. I'm a light sleeper. Sometimes I don't get up till 10:00 or 11:00. Most of the activities, they do early. I'm paying $3500 now for a one-bedroom, and I think that's way too much for what I'm getting back.

I toured Senior Star at Wexford Place. It was very nice and had lots of activities for the residents. They were having some kind of a special program where people go out on the patio. People seemed happy there. It was it was a nice facility. They didn't have any skilled level there. They gave me some fresh baked cookies as I left, and they were delicious. They had libraries and computers. They had electronic games and craft rooms. They had a lot of things for people to do and a lot of puzzles.

Senior Star at Wexford Place is a 30-year old facility, but it does not look like that. It looks well, and I actually like the layout better than others because everything seemed to be on one level. They were actually willing to show me multiple rooms thanks to their relationship with residents who were very happy to show off their rooms as well. I saw furnished and unfurnished. The ones I saw, I was very happy with. One of the reasons that it is high on our list for consideration is because of the design of the room, the location, and the facility. They were the most friendly. The also went out of their way to make us feel welcome out of all the places we toured. Their selection of food may be not as large as some other places, but they also have a snack bar area, where you could grab snacks day or night (twenty four hours). I like that for my mother.

Senior Star at Wexford Place was kind of dated. So far, the location is worse than the other place. It looks like they're trying to do some remodeling, but you open up the closets and the shelves are plastic-covered wire instead of actual shelves. It was just that the kind of thing kind of bothered me. The staff who gave the tour, I like her friendliness and interest in what I was looking for. They had called back and suggested that I could try the food if I wanted. I saw a swimming pool which needed some painting and care. I also saw their exercise room.

The manager at Senior Star at Wexford Place was very nice and informative. All the residents seemed friendly and the location was nice. They just had more stairs than what I would be comfortable with moving my grandma into. They had elevators to get around and everything, but for some of the options that they had for just the independent living side, you had to use stairs to get to them. I wasn't a huge fan of that, but it's an independent living, so I know it's not something that somebody that has trouble walking would need to be in. Otherwise, it was a wonderful location. I was really happy with it. It just came down to price. They have a library, a gym, and a swimming pool, but you can't get to the swimming pool unless you use the stairs. They also offered two meals a day, and they have a place of worship. The first room that he showed us that was in my grandmother's price range was a little on the small side. It had outdated appliances, but it still would have got the job done. I wasn't a fan of their long hallways. You have to walk a distance to get to where you're wanting to go. The floor plan for the medium room had a weird layout. As soon as you open the door, there's a wall, you either go left to get to the bedroom or go right to get to the living room and that's a one-bedroom. The larger of the one-bedrooms had a different layout, too, and that one was a lot better, but it was more expensive. The studio was too small. The smaller one-bedroom had a weird layout and the larger one-bedroom was out of our price range but it was better.
