"My mother will be moving into Kendal-Crosslands Communities. We just really liked it for a whole number of reasons. The range of services and the interactions we've had with the staff have all been extremely good. It seemed very warm and inviting and my mother was quite taken with their gardens. I like the quality of the staff and the convenience of it because it's very close to me and that was very important. I like the dining environment, and the staff just seemed very attentive. The upkeep seemed excellent. My mother enjoyed the food. One of the dining areas overlooks a patio and it's really beautiful. The gardens there were very nice, so the dining areas were very comfortable and scenic."

"The place is nice, however it is a little run down (Pocopson). The food is alright; I have eaten there before with my Grandfather. The staff are very nice people and are friendly with the residents. However, it has a weird smell to the place and the rooms aren't all that great. You can tell they were cheaply made. There are many events such as Bingo there every weekend, and they have a nice place where you can sit down / watch TV when you are eating. They serve lots of things there, and they do put some effort into the cooking. When it is warm outside, residents can sit outside and have a smoke or read the paper. It's a nice green lawn with a small garden and some big trees. Going back inside, the lobby area is pretty small as well. The place has big locked doors in a lot of places so the residents can not get out unless you sign them out and they are healthy enough to leave. "

"I visited Country House. It has an independent living. It used to be assisted living, but they've added a great big addition to it and put cottages out front. I didn't get to see any of the rooms. However, the whole layout of the place was pretty nice because they had underground parking. As far as I know, it was really good on that. The amenities were not the same as the other place, though."

"I live in Cokesbury Village. I have lived in this place for 10 years. It's for about 400 people, and they have everything from independent residents to health care residents. I have a small cottage. We have apartments in the main building and cottages of various sizes, smaller ones and 3-bedroom cottages. There is a wide variety. We are very pleased with the staff. Right now, we can't do anything, but they have a lot of gymnastics and things like that, a lot of music, movies, groups that come in to entertain us, and lots of lectures. It is a very lively community, but right now, we are very careful. We have a wonderful library. The library is really one of the highlights, and it is one of the best that I have seen anywhere. We have a small swimming pool and a fitness room, and in both of them, only one or two people are allowed at the same time. They are planning to build an extra large kind of indoor tennis room. We have wonderful grounds with lots of gardening. There's a wide selection of food and quite a bit of meatless like vegetarian meals. It's a little bit more expensive than many others, but I think the facility is wonderful."

"My grandmother was a resident at Brackenville Center for almost 5 years before she passed away. I had the experience of her admission shortly before the transition from a Franciscan center to Genesis Health Care. I've also worked in several long term care facilities. No center is absolutely perfect but I have to give Brackenville a 5 - star rating because the entire staff, from administrators to health care staff to dietary to maintenance, each and every one of them do their best to give some amount of personal attention to each short term guest or long term resident. Are there opportunities for improvement? Absolutely! My grandmother was very vocal about what she did and didn't like. The care conferences were useful to work out some of her personal quirks and of course, her real needs. I would absolutely recommend Brackenville Center to anyone looking for a new "home" for their family."

"My relative is being well cared for. I'm impressed by the number of staff on duty at all times no matter what day or time I visit. They are caring and make sure the residents have whatever they need. I'm good the food is good. It looks good,but due to Covid I haven't been able to have a meal there. The place is always spotless."

"My mother-in-law was at Regal Heights Healthcare & Rehab Center. They do rehab. They have doctors on staff. They have a rehab facility. At that time, my mother-in-law had problems with her legs. She had specialized care in the rehab for her legs, and they did a great job there. The facility was well maintained. They checked on her all the time. The food was like in old nursing homes. It was mediocre because you had to feed hundreds of people. So it's not a gourmet restaurant. My mother-in-law's room was pretty nice. We got her in on the long-term care Medicaid."

"My aunt Lena was here some time ago and I found the staff caring and trying their best to accommodate any and all request. Thank you"

"Stonegates was absolutely outstanding, but very expensive. The apartments were great. They're laid out very well and they're oriented to the community they're trying to serve. The staff member was great. She knew what she was doing and she had a great facility. They have everything. They have cards and guest lectures. The food was wonderful and the dining area was set up like a restaurant. It's like a five-star resort."

"Having a mother in a similar facility. In a million years I never dreamed I would incur the same circumstances. Placed here at Manor Care-Pike Creek was alarmingly depressing to me at first. Although necessary for my recovery I had a preconceived connotation. About nursing homes, I felt all nursing homes were substantially substandard, under staffed. And smelled of urine and other horrific unidentifiable oders. I was truly surprised. The staff here greeted me with warmth and such care. They truly were concerned about my recovery and care. Every now and then the halls were filled with laughter and sounds of children visiting family. The nursing staff attentive to my every need. As well as the CNA's I never had to wait or ask twice for anything. Every one went out of their way to make my stay comfortable. I really cannot express how truly unappreciative I am to evetyone. If I named one I would have to name evetyone. From the Director, Social Workers, Receptionists, CNA's RN's, Dietary, Physical Therapy, OT, NP's, Doctors and a special Thanks to Christina and Nicole! I love you so much! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. My sincerest gratitude. Margaret Thompson "

"My brother-in-law's been placed in Weston Senior Living at Highfield, and it's very good. It has a very homey atmosphere, and we like it a lot. The only problem is that he is soon going to Medicaid, and they're not Medicaid approved yet. We chose it because we liked it a lot, and it was homey. The food and care are good, and overall, my brother-in-law is very happy there. They have people come in to entertain and an activities director who does bingo and trivia and all kinds of games for the residents. They have an exercise room, a music room, and a solarium. "

"What I like most about Maris Grove is the activities and the whole indoor environment. They had a whole world you could walk around inside, like in the middle of winter, you could walk miles and never go outside. They had a lot of hallways and a lot of corridors, and a lot of buildings. They had basic things like a library and a gym. The staff was very nice and they told us the whole deal. We had good food, and their dining area was nice and comfortable. The facility was very well kept."
