My dad didn't enjoy The Wellington at North Bend Crossing because he just stayed in his apartment all the time. He went to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but preferred to just be by himself. He didn't take advantage of the community. The place was pretty good. It has been updated recently. The only thing I would say is that the refrigerator didn't fit. It should have a bigger refrigerator, and that's about it. It was in good condition though. The staff was nice. Sometimes they were late to pick my dad up and take him to bed. My dad was a timely person, and he was incontinent, so he had to be changed a lot. He ended up getting kidney stones, urinary tract infections, and bedsores. The staff seemed friendly, but it seemed like they were understaffed. They have a lot of activities. But my dad didn't participate in any of them, so it was just a waste of money for him, and he was paying for stuff that he didn't need. He watched TV all day in his apartment. They had field trips, church, and movies. They had a cocktail hour or something like that. In some ways, the community was good and certainly better than where he ended up.

I toured The Wellington at North Bend Crossing. The facility offered all the levels of care. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The facility was well-kept. The rooms were nice and roomy, and well-equipped.

We didn't like the idea that The Wellington at North Bend Crossing has multiple levels. It felt too much like a hotel versus a residential facility. The whole entryway and everything just felt like a place to visit and not a place to live. You felt kind of like you were on vacation somewhere. The woman that I met there was informative. However, I was not happy with the way she answered one of the questions. It was one of the most important questions. The question I asked was if my friend goes in as independent living, how will they assess if she needs assisted living? The answer she gave was they don't. If we tell them she's independent, that's how they treat her, and she didn't expand on that at all and that alarmed me because if someone's going into a senior living place as independent (this woman is 93 years old, so she's on decline and at some point she will go from independent to assisted) and to think that nobody there is going to be assessing those needs or change of needs, was a major red flag. When I got a follow-up phone call from somebody at The Wellington at North Bend Crossing, I addressed that issue with them and she said, "No. That's not accurate. We do keep an eye on our residents and some of the ways we monitor them is we make sure that they're showing up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If they're not showing up to those things, we check in on them and things like that." So I was like, "OK." I was a little bit more satisfied with that answer, but the fact that I got two separate answers from people in that place, told me that they're not on the same page and that is a concern for me. The apartments looked nice. They were clean and nice-sized. Again, we did not like the idea of it being multiple floors and having to use elevators because our big concern would be what happens in the event of a fire. How did they get all of these residents out of a building like that in a timely, safe fashion? My friend is not my mother, but I would not put my mother in a facility that has multiple floors like that, especially if she has a hard time walking or uses a walker. If she were perfectly capable of walking and had no trouble with that, then that would be different, but my friend has balance issues so she either uses a cane or a walker and that would not make me feel comfortable. I wouldn't put my own mother in that situation. So I would not put my friend in that situation either. Cleanliness seemed good. It's a little bit newer facility so that all seemed clean. There were no unpleasant smells or anything like that. So the facilities looked nice. The upkeep was good. The food was probably better. My friend had some soup, and she liked it. She ate more there. I think I had a burger or something and it was really good. So, the food was nice. The dining area wasn't as homey. It felt a little bit more open and had a little bit of a colder feel to it to me.

The Wellington at North Bend Crossing looked well-kept. The room that they had available that I could have rented, but I didn't want to, was nice. The rooms were pretty nice size. Appliances are available. They have a washer and dryer that you can use or you can bring your own. If you want them to do your linens, like your sheets and blankets, they would do that, at a cost. If you wanted to do your own personal stuff, you would have the washer and dryer in your unit, so that was a plus for me. They have a lot of activities. If you want them to take you to a restaurant, you can go or if you want to go to a supermarket, it's available. They have all kinds of fitness things. They have a game room, they have movies, and they have a chapel. They have everything. I like the people. They were very friendly and very nice. I know it's a sales pitch, but I felt more comfortable with them. Also, you don't need a contract. It's month-to-month. If you decide that you don't like it, you can move out. I tried the food and I thought it was very nice. They have a menu that you can choose from. For lunch, you can have sandwiches or you can have a full meal, whatever your choice is. There are two meals a day. They did have breakfast, but that was not included. That did not interest me because I could always make a bowl of cereal, which I usually eat anywhere, or toast. The staff I met was very friendly. The facility was excellent. The landscaping was nice. The inside was nice and very well-kept. The furniture looked new to me and they had a lot of lounge areas, like one on each floor that you could use instead of going downstairs. I thought it was very well kept.

The Wellington at North Bend Crossing was very nice. The staff was exceptional. I would pay for that one. It gave you more than the other place did as far as amenities. The staff was courteous. It was very clean.

I was impressed with The Wellington at North Bend Crossing. I liked it. It came down to the price between the two places plus The Wellington at the time did not have a two-bedroom available. The grounds were very nice, very well kept, and very well manicured. The apartment was very nice. The staff was very friendly. The dining area was very comfortable looking. They have a lot of activities and parties. They had an opening day party for the Reds. They have a St Patrick's Party, they have games, and they have people get-togethers. They also have a Friday night happy hour type thing. Those were just some of the things that the staff highlighted.

The Wellington at North Bend Crossing had small bedrooms. They only had ten (at the most) two-bedroom apartments. We looked at a one-bedroom, and it would have been adequate for one person, but not for two. The staff was very good and very honest. The accommodations were modernized, bright, and cheery. I liked the atmosphere there. The kitchen was a full kitchen, but the room was really small. You couldn't sit in it and eat in it. You had to put your table over in the patio room or something. They had an exercise room, a big cafeteria seating area, and a meeting area. They had a hairdresser who did your hair. They had a beauty shop there. They had assigned parking spots. It was a very nice facility, cheery, and light. It just didn't meet our needs. We needed more space.

I toured The Wellington at North Bend Crossing for my parents. It was a nice community for independent living. We didn't get to see the assisted living area, and I feel that's where our needs probably would be if they go to a facility. As far as independent living, it was great, but it wasn't going to suit our needs at this time. Everyone was very nice and very professional. The whole place was very clean and well-appointed. The rooms were great. They were of nice size.

We went to The Wellington at North Bend Crossing. There was nothing I didn't like about it. It was beautiful. Everyone was very helpful and very friendly. The facility was large, clean, and beautiful. They have a gym, a salon, a restaurant, a coffee bar, and a lounge. It's a very nice place. I like the convenience of everything.

My dad has moved into The Wellington at North Bend Crossing. It's wonderful. Everybody is really caring, and he is getting the best care. Anything he needs, they've got him covered. Apparently, the food is really great; he keeps telling me how great it is. The staff are very kind. They're available at all times, and they answer questions. My dad lives in a one-bedroom apartment, which is really spacious. He has a big walk-in closet, it's got a space for an up and down washer and dryer, it's got a full kitchen area, and he's got a little like sun area, which is off of the living room. They have walking trails, there's an exercise fitness room, and they have a van situation that takes residents where they need to go. They have just completely changed all the carpeting and furniture in the facility, and they have repainted the entire place, so it actually looks brand new. We compared it to other facilities in the area and it's close/more affordable than most. They have all kinds of sporting activities like pickleball, they have like a little golf set inside, they play bingo, they have music, they have a lounge/bar area, and they have live entertainment there.

I liked The Wellington at North Bend Crossing. We intended to go there. But when my mom broke her leg, they said she wouldn't be eligible to go there because she couldn't get up and walk or pivot. So, we kind of put that on the backburner there. We toured everything. We're talking about putting my mom in assisted living and my dad in the memory care at first. Everything seemed to be fine and they had activities for the seniors and would provide transportation for doctor's visits. My mom's doctor is just over the hill from there where she goes. They have bingo and activities for the seniors. The rooms seemed to be pretty good. The one-bedroom that I looked at seemed to be a little bit smaller than the other ones that I looked at. I've got to get them both in the same room if I can. It seemed like everything was well kept, for the age of the place. It's not that old, but I mean, it's probably 10, 15 years old, maybe a little older than that, but everything seemed to be fine, as far as maintenance goes. I've always had a good rapport with the staff. I followed up with them probably about four or five times in the last eight months.

I like The Wellington at North Bend Crossing, and that's where my mom is moving in. We chose this place because of its location, and that's the biggest part. I also know the families of some residents there, and they recommend it, and really like it so far. The price, and what they offered as far as activities, were also a factor as to why mom is going there. I like their rooms. They're bigger than any of the other places I saw. The staff were all very nice too. They've gotten back to me about any questions I had, and the assessment nurse was very nice. We had a great conversation. She listened to my concerns and said that they would be able to help my mom, and that's all I care about. The facility was a little bit older, but it was still very clean, decorated nicely, and the rooms looked like they were updated. We'll just have to see how this all plays out once she's there already.

The Wellington seemed OK. It was certainly not extravagant or anything like that. We did not like the atmosphere of the floor that we toured, which would have been for the memory care people. I think it was a second floor. The memory care residents are basically confined to that floor of the building. The atmosphere, like the color schemes, the carpeting, and that kind of stuff just seemed slightly dark. That's some of the stuff we were looking for Mom. She likes it bright, open, and well-lit. With Wellington, there just wasn't quite enough space for them to move around on a daily basis, and it just seemed a little confined and dark. I think that they had a little outdoor courtyard, but it was tiny. Probably something like a 30 foot by 30 foot courtyard where they can go in. Four working ladies came into the room while we were meeting with the other staff. They seemed friendly, and for the very little that we interacted with them, they were OK.

Moving my mother into the assisted living facility has been a blessing to our family. Their attention and care for mom means that I can rest assured that she is safe and cared for even when I am not with her. The staff has been very supportive, friendly, and generous with time and information.

I like The Wellington at North Bend Crossing because the apartments were bigger than where my mother is now. The staff who showed us around was very friendly, but there weren't a lot of people around at that time, so I could not see what they were doing or if they were interacting. I liked the space, I liked the facility, they had a lot to offer, and they had an exercise room. They gave us lunch there, and it was good. We enjoyed the food, and the staff told us it was nothing special -- it was just something that they gave all the residents there. For someone who is younger and independent living, I would give them a "five," but for an older person who is in their nineties, I would not give them a "five" because of the elevators, and it's really a large place.

I visited The Wellington at North Bend Crossing. It was fine. The dining area was nice. It was an open area. They also had another place they called a deli. They had small kitchens, but you don't need a big kitchen when you're in that situation. The staff was very nice and seemed knowledgeable. The problem with the COVID-19, they didn't do as much and didn't show you as much.

Don't waste your money. If it wasn't for Covid, I would be taking my mom out of there. Management has changed and the new management seems to be lazy and does not care about the residents. The residents don't even see them! EVER! They stay in their office, Meanwhile the staff in the kitchen, house keeping, aides and nurses are all over worked. It is my understanding that there is often one nurse and two aides for the entire building. At the cost for living here, our loved ones should get better care!

The Wellington at North Bend Crossing was very nice, and everybody was friendly, but they were not outgoing like they were at the other places, and the residents didn't appear as happy. The dining area was nice and looked like fine dining. The facility itself was very clean, very well decorated, beautiful, very big, and spacious. The room they showed me for my aunt was not very impressive and was just average. They had other units that were very spacious and really pretty, but they weren't available. The staff I had interaction with was very nice, very helpful, and very informative.

We had a family member there. It is a beautiful, new facility. There are, however problems with nursing care for those needing assisted living. Medicine errors were made over and over again. There was lack of response from the time the nurse call light was activated until they came, over 30 minutes. We are so happy we moved our loved one out of there and into a better facility in Cincinnati!

We put my mom here for rehab on a trial basis and Thank God we did!! I would not recommend this facility to anyone that needs any kind of assistance. We were told that the push light response time should be no longer than 10 minutes. We have waited as long as 45 minutes. When my mom first got there she didn't get a shower for two weeks, when we were told it would only take a few days. When we would bring those things up to Deb the CEO or Amanda the DON (Director of Nothing, I mean Nursing) they would say that's unacceptable and would take care of it. Nothing usually ever changed. They are always short PCA's and even nurses on the evening shift and weekend's. So if you need something then, you will probably have to do it yourself or have a family member help you like I had to do many times. They do have a very nice dining area and the food is good, but like any place everything is going to cost you and I mean everything!! Good Luck in your search and God Bless!!!

Very nice building but staffing is an issue. They were a good facility but a lot has changed in the last few years. Most of the Resident Assistants are agency and there was a new one every week. If you are considering them, ask about staffing ratios in assisted living and # of agency. They never had adequate staffing on Sundays. The permanent staff that has stayed on is good but the Management Team is not customer focused. They were purchased last December 2016 and changed their name. They had a high turnover in staffing at that time and since. Memory Care is small with a small area to walk inside and nothing outside. Food quality varies but for all holidays, they provide a large very nice lunch and not very appealing ham and cheese sandwich for dinner. Families should not have to supplement meals when paying that much for a meal plan.

My sister has a really nice room at The Wellington at North Bend with a lot of windows. It was empty when she got there because they had it cleaned. They had bingo, card games, and two masses a week which my sister likes. The place looked really nice, and she was very happy with it. They showed us a one-bedroom apartment that had a sun room, a big bedroom, a little kitchen, a place for the washer and dryer, a closet, and a bathroom.

The Wellington is nice and it's a good fit for my dad. The place is very clean and the food is good. The staff and residents have been very friendly and welcoming. It's in a very nice neighborhood that's close to stores and the hospital. He has a 1-bedroom with very nice windows and it's airy, it has a fairly large bathroom, and a walk-in closet that he really likes. It was a little expensive compared to the other places, but we still think it's a good value.

The Wellington was a very nice facility, very nice dining area, and a lot of family interaction, but they didn’t have the staff ratio that I like in a memory care. There weren’t a lot of places for my mom to walk; my mom likes to walk.

We liked Renaissance West very much, but it was way out of our price range. Other than that, it was very nice and worth the price. The staff was very helpful. The dining room was very nice. We ate lunch there on St Patrick’s Day. It was very good because they had a buffet at the time.

My mom has been with Rennaisance West for 3 years now. She is in the assisted living. If she calls for someone, sometimes it takes a little while for them to get there but generally it's acceptable. The staff is very friendly, personable and nice. The building is very nice. The food service is alright. `

Living in Rennaisance West is like living in a country club. It's nice and upscale. The apartments are beautiful. The building itself is just gorgeous. You won't find people more caring other than their staff. They're very conscientious. My father is in independent living. They have activities for him. They always have something to keep him going instead of sitting around by himself. The food is good, and I know he is eating eating healthy. We are in a complete peace of mind that he is in a great and safe place.

We were happy with Renaissance; it was clean, and the people were very kind. We really liked it and we liked the size of the room. The staff has been fine and the food is very good. The only thing I’m not happy with --and things that they could improve on -- include patient care with some of their aids and medical assistance, but still I would highly recommend this place.

Renaissance West is a newer building. It got finished last year or 2 years ago. The architecture and the décor are really off-the-charts, but the downfall, in my situation, was they did not have a nursing area. They're just an assisted living facility. When we found out that they didn't have nursing care, we were heartbroken. To go into the building is just breathtaking. It's really, really cool. I know they have the gas fireplaces, and their dining rooms are made to be almost like being in a lounge. The dining room is like going into a restaurant. They have tablecloths, and the napkins were all set up. It's something you don’t get at home. I was very impressed.
