The Pines at Columbia Assisted Living Community

My dad has not gone to Lexington Place yet although we already paid from April 23 to the whole of May. He had a stroke and that set things back a little bit. I was able to visit Lexington Place. It is very nice, it's spacious, and there is no nursing home kind of smell, as far as urine smell or anything like that, there's no medicinal smell at all. You walk in and you feel like you're walking into your home. Polly has just been a tremendous help to me. She's gone over and above what her job description asks for. She's been very helpful to me on so many levels, including a personal level. I haven't seen anyone eating the food, although they do have two dining rooms. I looked at the menu every time I walked in. One night, they had Lobster Newburg and a puff pastry, it just really sounds nice. I haven't seen anything that didn't sound good or look good or anything. They seem to have a variety of things to have for breakfast, including fresh fruit all the time. They also have an ice cream bar that has ice cream 24 hours a day, and it looks like a little ice cream store. It's very easy to navigate.

Lexington Place was excellent. My husband would like to go there, and it sounded like it would be a good fit. When he found that it's in his price range, he's very happy about being able to possibly go there, but it depends on how things go and if they have availability at that point because they were pretty full at the time we went. We went over and had lunch and talked to them at the time. We got to test the food that they serve and its excellent food. They showed us a model room. While we were going there, we met the staff that cleans. The place was immaculate. They had activities. We met the activity director there and we talked to the nurse while we were there. I think even the person that's overseeing the whole place, the manager, we met her as well. They were very professional. I told her I'd like to move in and I'm not joking. If and when I need a place like that, I certainly would like to. With Covid, they were restricting where we went. Even though I've had both of my shots at that time, my husband hadn't had a shot yet. They were being very cautious about taking us, and I understood that, so that was fine. They've got an activities calendar and there was quite a bit of stuff. The residents personally talked to my husband while they were having lunch in the dining room. It looked like there were a lot of people there. There were two stories, and there was an elevator and there were stairs for those that could do stairs. We opted to do the stairs because, with Covid, they try not to have everybody get in the elevator at one time. We have talked to the intake person on several occasions since then. They're pursuing us still. At this point, I can't say anything bad about them. They have a low sodium option every meal, and I even asked if it's possible to go back and have seconds because my husband is a big eater, and they said that wasn't a problem either. They had snacks available and an ice cream machine.

I was impressed with my tour at Lexington Place. I like the accommodations and the level of care. The staff who accommodated me during the tour was very professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. The cleanliness and maintenance appeared excellent and the facilities were very good. They had TV, some games, and outdoor spaces available for the residents. I saw their community space, the veteran's wall (which was of interest), the lunch room, the ice cream area, dining room, and a living room area. I also saw the bedrooms. They were very sufficient. The dining room seemed quite sufficient for the needs. We saw their garden. It was very lovely.

My dad is at Lexington Place right now. His personal transition has been tough, but in terms of the facility itself, they're fine, and attractively clean. They take COVID-19 extremely seriously, and the protocols for entering and exiting are very high. The staff seems extremely caring too, not only with the residents, but with the family members as well. They're extremely patient and tolerant of all our questions and concerns, especially when we had to enter his belongings. They pay attention to the tiniest of concerns. They also have courtyards so people can go outside. I also saw people playing bingo and putting puzzles together. We spoke with the activities director, and she was very nice, and very enthusiastic about her job. It was a very positive experience. I guess the only concern I had was its proximity to the highway, but my father is almost 100 years old, and I don't think he cares about it. So far it's an excellent place, and an excellent choice for us.

I was very pleased with Lexington Place. I was very impressed with the facility and what they had to offer. I spoke with the human resource person. I also spoke with the nurse and she was very helpful, giving me information about what they would do, how they would assist my mother, that was very helpful and they were very pleasant. The facilities were very comfortable and very homey, I was very impressed with that. The room was spacious enough for my mother.

It was a very good place. My neighbor’s mother is there and loves it. I would definitely recommend it. I think the location is very good and closest to us.

Last May, my relative moved in. The staff’s attitudes are wonderful, and I’m very pleased with the staff’s service. The room that they showed me when I first got there was satisfying. There are many different sizes of rooms, so I chose a studio, and it is just fine. I’ve tried the food, and it is adequate. There are two dining areas that are very clean and comfortable. There are lots of social activities, too. They have inspirational visitors, movies, ice cream socials, dinner outings, bingo, arts and crafts, church services, physical therapy, and workout sessions. I would recommend them. What they could improve on is getting the working staff to be more attentive. The nurses and the administration are terrific, but the working staff could be more attentive.

I'm very happy with where I moved my mom. They have everything we need for my mother. The people are very nice and very professional. The room is very nice, roomy, and has everything she needs.

My mother moved in. She was warmly received there, and we really like the room. The staff seems to be doing an excellent job. Everybody is very friendly and very caring. She has only been there a couple of weeks, but we are feeling very good about it.

It was nice, and I liked it. It was located close to a lot of different things. It was close to the hospital and to various activities. It just wasn't suited for what I needed for my father, but it would have been a very nice place to live. They had a lot of activities there. It was nice on the inside. It was a multi-story building, and was more like a very nice hotel. They seemed to be very clean and nice. I met some of the staff, and it was fine. It just was a little more closed in; the halls weren't quite as wide, which was what I liked about some of the other places, and that was one of the reasons why we didn't choose that one for him. But for someone else, that would probably be a very nice place.

My mom has been at this facility for a long time. There has always been a warm welcoming feeling and the staff has always been so helpful. We have welcomed some new team members recently and I most say that I really like where it is going. The new administrator is a young energetic guy that loves the residents. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone that needs good care.

My brother is in here and it is a really nice place. I am thankful because it has been a really good experience. They are taking good care of him. It is worth recommending to others.

The staff were helpful and they had more male residents than other places we visisted, which I liked. They also had more activities for them to do.

My aunt was treated with respect and dignity, the staff was very kind, and always kept us updated of even small changes in her health. Her room was comfortable and most importantly, she was as happy with her surroundings as anyone could expect.
