Neawanna by the Sea

Reviewer#ET0715b

I toured Neawanna by the Sea. The experience was just fine. The cottage that I looked at was very good. It was in very good shape. It had been refurbished recently. We had hoped to get something closer to the border of a view of the ocean. There is a salon and a crafts room. I did not see a gymnasium. All the staff that I saw were great. They were very accommodating. The lady who took me on the tour was very nice and very helpful.

It looked good. We went into the main area and the restaurant area and everything were clean. There were a few people around, the day that we went to see it, so we talked to a couple of them and they seemed happy there. We looked at mainly independent living and saw their 2-bedroom cottages, then they also took us through their assisted living. During the tour, I talked to the activity planner and the manager and they were very pleasant and very informative. I also saw 3 or 4 of their staff working with other people. I was happy with it. From the outside, it looked nice, and when we went into the apartment, it was also a nice 1-bedroom apartment. When we went into the 2-bedroom apartment on the independent living side, we were sold on that. It's just a little condensed for me. I drove by some other places where the facility is spread out all over but this one is more of a condensed area. I liked what they showed me though. I liked the people, even the staff standing around pleasantly saying hello and asking if we are being helped. I watched them with some patients in wheelchairs and they were very, very courteous to them and helped them out.

We toured here. It was a beautiful drive over there. We visited, and they were very accommodating. They gave me lots of information that I'm going to share that with my friend. They were very, very friendly. We had to wait a little bit because we came early, which was fine. We got a chance to observe the people there, how they were at lunch with the residents, and everyone was just very nice. It was a warm place to be. As we walked through the place, I liked the idea that they had lots of activities. They gave us an example of that. They also take them to doctor appointments, so that's great. They have a bus, and they take them to the store. The staff all seemed helpful, caring, and friendly. It looked like they had a lot of amenities. According to their chart, they had exercises too. The other thing that I really appreciated was that they didn't know that we lived two hours away, but they said that they were going to do booster shots this coming week. They had ordered extra and that we were welcome to come back and get a booster shot. I thought that was really nice. They had lots of activities too. The room that they showed us was nice, clean, and bright. It had a nice window with lots of light coming through. Unfortunately they didn't have any openings, but you never know when those might open up.

Our experience with them has been great so far. The food is great, and everyone is really friendly. What stood out to me is that it seems like everybody seems happy with what they have. Some of the residents are in the building, and some have their own cottages, and I love our cottage. They have knitting and crocheting classes for the residents, the guys play poker, and some days we paint. So everybody has been pretty busy. The staff will just about do whatever you want if you ask for those services. The staff members seem nice and answers all our questions. We have a 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage, which has a lot of room. It's a really nice senior home.

I am living here. I just moved. I have an independent cottage. It's like a small house. I can cook, or I can eat at the facility. It's very clean. The food and the staff are very good. They're very caring to the people. They deliver medicine. They call an ambulance when it's needed. I find nothing wrong with it. They have a long waiting list to get in. We have activities every day. There's bingo, and there are movies. There are scenic drives, there's shopping. There are all kinds of games.
