Sodalis College Station

I toured Sodalis College Station. I liked Sodalis myself and my mother went over there. She thought it was too big and she was going to get lost and get confused, but another thing I liked about it was that it was a little bit more inclusive. It has a memory care unit and they have a program called Bridges. Bridges are for those people who do not quite need memory care, but they're not even as independent as they might, even for assisted living, so they're kind of in between. They accommodate that and they seem to have a very wide range of experience, not that they're going to super skilled nursing, but they go to memory care, which takes a lot of staff and all that sort of thing. Also, I was very impressed with the guy who took me around, Ricky. I always ask about turnover, particularly at housekeeping. He tries to provide gift cards and things like incentives to keep the staff there and said they haven't had much turnover. He's a pastor. He's a very kind person and he took a lot of time with me moving around. They have all kinds of little nooks and crannies where people can go outside or to a chapel. It was a good place.

I was impressed with Sodalis College Station. It was light and airy. You had plenty of natural light and it was a cheerful place. I liked the size of the suite that we were shown. It was great. I liked the walk-in shower, the size of the closet, and the bathrooms were very nice. The living room was good. I liked the space going down the hall. The people were allowed to put a wreath on the door or something outside the door to enhance the look. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The facility was very clean and in very good condition.

My parents-in-law are staying at Sodalis College Station. The director is nice. He's pretty reactive to issues. The thing my parents-in-law complain about the most is the food. They've also had a few issues with people coming right away if there's a problem. We brought that up with the director, and he seems to be trying to help facilitate that. The problem that the senior facilities all have is that the turnover is just horrendous. You kind of get comfortable with somebody, and they're gone. But I would say for the most part that my parents-in-law are happy there. My mother-in-law can kind of get around by herself. They were in another facility before and they feel like this one's better. They have a salon. They do a church service. They have a lot of activities. After touring all those other places, this is pretty good value.

Sodalis College Station was a beautiful facility. It's very formal. It's sitting right on a busy highway. I just don't see my husband there. The girl who talked to me was very knowledgeable and answered my questions. It would get up in an expensive range real quick. Everything kind of turned me off there, except it was pretty, and the girl was very nice. I didn't meet any other staff. They have a special memory care unit and you get to pay extra for that. I didn't get in a room. I just saw the floor plan, and it would be nice if you were living there for a long time because you got your little kitchenette.

My wife will be moving into Sodalis College Station in a few days. I liked the staff and the facilities. The place was clean. I liked their activities. The room had a home feel to it. It was very clean and it was not small. They had reading areas, activity nights, ice cream, movie nights, an onsite spa, a little store right there, and a beauty shop.

Sodalis College Station was a nice place, facility, and everything. It's more simplified, more or less like home. We took some pictures of it, and my mother liked that better than the other ones that we've taken pictures of, so that's what we got. The staff members were taking care of the residents very well. They've got all kinds of stuff there. The rooms looked very nice. They had on-staff therapists there.
