We're very happy with Signature Senior Living, and my sister is happy with it as well. They have bingo, exercise classes, and a lot of activities in the afternoon. She seems happy with the food. The dining area is very nice, and they have table numbers, so everyone knows who is sitting where. She does everything for herself except they give her her medications. If she needs assistance, she can call and they will do whatever she asks.

I didn't like anything about Signature Senior Living. The staff wasn't accommodating at all. I didn't like the menu, too. I didn't like the place. The staff wasn't very nice or hospitable. I didn't think the place was well maintained at all. It wasn't that clean either.

I visited Signature Senior Living. It was awful and very chaotic. The person at the front desk was answering the phone while feeding a patient at the same time. Somebody from the dining room came out and told her that a patient was in distress, but she didn't do anything. It wasn't a clean place and it didn't impress me. I didn't think it was attractive at all.

Signature Senior Living is a nice-looking community. I saw the dining area, reception area, the rooms, and the recreation areas outside. The rooms they showed me were nice. There were a couple dressers, and the bathroom was clean and coordinated. The staff member that acknowledged me gave me a good tour and didn't keep me waiting for a long time. It looks like they have things to keep the residents busy like entertainment, movie nights, and so on.

Signature Senior Living was the best one of all I visited. The people there were extremely clean and seemed to be well cared for. The place and the rooms were clean and very nicely laid out. The location was a bit far from where I live. The bathrooms were clean.

The ratio of staff to patient was good. The facilities were very nice. They had different types of activities for the residents. They had a very nice dining room. It seemed like a very secure place; it did have security in place. The rooms were very nice.

Signature Senior Living is a very nice place. It is clean and small but the people are very nice. Mom has a private room. They have everything one needs like a hotel. They have a synagogue. They have exercises, movies, and live entertainments on Sundays. They always have something to do the entire day everyday. The facility is Kosher and they have a rabbi on site. They also serve Kosher meals.

I really didn’t like Signature Senior Living at all; it gave me a very bad feeling. It was a very big, open space, but everyone was facing the TV. The activity room was a small, crowded, linoleum-floored room. Even though it was an activity room, they were all just set up in front of the TV. It wasn’t arranged so people could have a discussion group. There were some perfectly well individuals staying there all huddled outside in this one outdoor space. They could have rearranged their space in a way for people to interact.

Signature Senior Living was quite nice. They didn’t have many amenities, but the dining room was pleasant. The rooms were nice, but small. They have studios and shared room options. The people were very friendly.

My mother-in-law has already been placed at Signature Senior Living. They're very friendly and they've got planned activities. The apartments look more like a hotel room. It's not the largest one that we've seen, but it's very nice. They're very accessible, and it's very easy to get a hold of her. The dining room is set up like a cafeteria. She seems to like the place quite a bit. They go to a show or an outdoor event once a month, and at least every day there's a community-involvement event.

Signature Senior Living is a good facility, and we love it. The food is OK. The people working here is very nice. My impression of the place is positive. The surrounding is fine. The only negative I have for them is that we have to pay for a full month even though we just came for a couple of weeks. However, I do recommend it.

This is good place for elderly people. The facility is clean, hallways and family rooms are cleaned and well kept. There is enough lighting in hallways. There are roomy, safe elevators with a security person attending it most of the times. The facility is secure enough; elderly can't easily live the place without being noticed. They have nice, spacious entertainment room with comfortable chairs, small separate room with large TV. There is also secure backyard where residents can sit when the weather permits. The place has large dining room. As residents say, the food is good, and enough of it. Stuff is assists as needed. Rooms are spacious, for 1 or 2 people. There are large windows in each room. Also, there is basement section when religious services are hold. They also have nursing station in basement. The only negative comment is there is some smell on the living flours, but, I believe, it is because of the nature of the place.

Signature Senior Living and its apartments were very nice. I saw people watching television and I saw people playing cards. The dining area was very nice. It was semi-formal, very clean, and spacious. The staff members were very nice and very friendly. The place was extremely well-maintained.

We were not happy with the appearance of Signature Senior Living. It didn't have a wow factor. It's an old nursing home converted into an assisted living facility, but it still looks like a nursing home. We didn't get that warm fuzzy feeling when we walked in the door, although the woman who helped us was fine. They have plenty of programs and activities. There were people sitting in wheelchairs right when we walked in, which if you're trying to attract people who want more of an independent living facility, then that's not how the front of the building should look. It's just not one of the places we will be pursuing.
Memory Care Reviews for Signature Senior Living

I visited this facility
I went to Signature Senior Living, and that was really nice. The staff was open, appreciative of what they were doing, they really cared for the people, and the person who gave me the tour was a wonderful woman. It's extremely friendly, and I felt comfortable there. It wasn't luxurious, they needed some repairs, but I appreciated the care and the staff more. I observed that they're very hands-on, they were entertaining the residents in the dementia floor, the people were really happy, and it was a pleasure to see that.
