I toured The Crossings at Ironbridge. The staff were very friendly. The facility was very well-kept and well-maintained. I was impressed because the staff knew the residents by their names, so I liked that. They could have pets there. I didn't try the food, but they have two dining facilities, one upstairs and one downstairs.
They don't have a lot of amenities, but they have a courtyard like an outside tent where the residents could go when the weather is warmer. I didn't get to see any activities that day, but they have a schedule of activities that they do like exercising, bible study, bingo, and things of that nature.

I had an in-person tour of The Crossings at Ironbridge. It was very good. The staff was very helpful and very knowledgeable. The facility was a little older, but it was very nice and clean. The location is good. The menu looked very good. They had an arts and crafts class going on.

I checked both the assisted living and memory care at The Crossings at Ironbridge. You have the first floor and then the second floor is the memory care. The staff was very pleasant and very helpful. The tour guide was most helpful and very informative. She gave you a lot of information. You felt comfortable with her. The staff was good. However, the place needed to be cleaner. It needs upgrading. At the beginning of the tour, the staff told me that it was going to be painted and a new carpet would be put in the whole building, but everything needs to be cleaned. I didn't like the room near as much as the other facility. They have a courtyard out there as well that you can go and visit. They have exercise equipment. The dining area was very large. Some of the residents were in a room watching a movie. In the memory care, people were walking around. They have very accommodating staff.

We enjoyed our visit to The Crossings at Ironbridge. They were very friendly, very helpful, and it felt like family from the minute we went in. They started introducing themselves, talking about the facility, and letting us know all the availability that comes with the rent.
They provide three meals a day, snacks, a community room where you can have coffee or read the paper, an outdoor courtyard, transportation to the grocery stores, appointments, and health services like physical therapy and occupational therapy.

Harmony at Ironbridge was very nice. The people were very nice. I would consider it because it was very close to home. The staff was great. She answered all my questions. She was patient and kind considering the circumstances. The rooms were small, but the amenities seemed fine. I really like their park-like setting in the back. I would give them a favorable recommendation but I didn't really thoroughly check it out. It looked good to me from the first sight.

The Crossings is a very nice facility. Its in a very quiet area, they have some activities for the people who are in the nursing home, and there are those who are able to get around without difficulty. The staff was very friendly and seemed very helpful to the residents. The people were also friendly. The atmosphere was pleasant. Some rooms had two people to a room, the rooms were attractive, and all the rooms had windows.

My husband and I recently toured The Crossings at Ironbridge as a perspective Assisted Living Residence for a family member.. We had a very favorable "first impression". . We were impressed by the physical appearance and cleanliness of the facility and all it has to offer residents. More importantly was our positive impression of the staff. Everyone was pleasant, friendly, and greeted us with a smile and welcomed us. We like the family culture that is evident there.
We believe this facility will be a good fit for our family member.

A friend has been here for years and loves it. Her family is really happy to. We needed a place for my mom for a few months and we took her to the Crossings. The staff was really good to her and she liked the food. When she is ready, she wants to be there full time. Thank you Crossings!

The food was really good at The Crossings, and the price was reasonable. I had mother's room decorated; it's small, fine, and laid out well. The staff seemed really nice, they all love my mom, and everybody seemed to like her. However, mom had several problems with the heater in her room, and she's only there a few months when they raised her rent.

We went to the Crossings at Ironbridge. All we did was just visit it one day, but I thought it was nice. I didn’t have much of a visit there because my car broke down, and I had to wait for a tow truck. My sister did more of the visiting than I did. I went inside, and it seemed to be well-maintained. I believe they had activities daily. Their facilities looked nice. They do have a barber shop and salon.

The Crossings is reasonable but not excellent. They had a bathroom drain into the dining room facility which took them seven days to repair and closed half the dining facility. I appreciate the staff in the dining room, though. They need to have a full-time maintenance person to maintain the site. They haven’t washed the windows inside or out in the four years my mother-in-law has been there. The inner courtyard needs to be pressure washed at least three times a year. They need to update the bathrooms. The staff should be readily available and not sleeping during working hours. I worry about security, and my mom-in-law complains that her things disappear.

My mom has been a resident here for the past three years. She really enjoys the friendships and the activities---shopping trips, bingo and the music programs are her favorites! I eat dinner with her a couple of times a week, so I can certainly say that the food is good! The facility is pretty, clean and neat---and the staff is courteous and caring. There is always someone to greet you at the lobby desk (the other reviewer’s experience was unusual, from what I’ve seen). The have recently had a nearly complete change of upper management, new facilities renovations and a new computerized medication dispensing system put in place. It’s been a bit of a bumpy ride in the last few months, for sure! I do miss the relationships I had with the former staff, but the new staff seems nice. All in all, I definitely recommend it.

Someone recommended the Crossings, and it was a nice community. The people that work there were okay. I like that it is a house and not a tall building. It was clean. They need to have someone there to greet you.

My uncle has been at the Crossing at Ironbridge for two years. It's a very nice facility. It's a warm, inviting, and friendly place. The décor and the appearance was wonderful. It was homey. And one of the things that really impressed us, they took us to a model room, it was a studio and it had a mini little kitchen. We liked everything. They had a cut out in the bathroom so you just step in and all of the safety features. They have big window to look at which was wonderful. It's nicely painted and carpeted. We didn’t get the feeling that it was all about money. They had crafts, exercises, bingo. They have a large size TV where people can watch. They did have a little pub area too. They were all in one floor and very concentrated. The biggest problem they have is the facility wasn’t a big place to begin with and most people were either in wheelchairs or etc.

Clean caring environment, with many activities and local entertainment. The staff are friendly, courteous and helpful. I like the fact that meds. are administered to residents that may have a memory problem, reminders for meals, hairdressers and hygiene are a help if you can't be there on a daily basis. Meals are fair to good with a variety to choose from, and will accommodate requests if possible. Am very pleased with the facility at this point of my aunts care needs.
Memory Care Reviews for The Crossings at Ironbridge

I visited this facility
I toured The Crossings at Ironbridge for my father. The tour was great. The staff's name was Josh. This was actually the very first tour that I did. It wasn't that far because it was right in between where I lived and where I work. Even at the time that I was talking to him on the phone to set up the tour, he was great, and very gracious. And again, he was my very first tour, so he kind of got a lot of my questions and uncertainty. He was very patient, he answered my questions, and I did not feel rushed. He showed me everything. I ended up being introduced by Josh to one of the residents' husbands. There's a woman who was a resident in the memory care and her husband was there visiting her, and I got to meet and talk to him on the way out, which was nice. Josh made a point for us to talk to the spouse of the resident, and he raved about the Crossings at Ironbridge.
It is a pretty facility. They have a courtyard that's on the ground level. This is a multi-level facility. The upstairs where the memory care was had a salon, a gym, or physical therapy room. They have a common area, and an activity area. When I got there, some of the residents were about to play bingo. I got to see and meet some members of the staff, and they were nice. I got to meet some residents, too.
The room was nice, and I thought it was roomy. This one was probably the size of a dorm room, maybe something like that. It was a nice-size room, and I thought there was enough room. I thought the place was clean as far as the room and the memory care floor itself. What I didn't like was they're up on the floor, and that's all they get.
There were events where they would mingle with the assisted living residents. They got to come down to the courtyard from time to time, but I think it was a little bit tight, and a little bit more cramped upstairs. It's L-shaped. If I'm not mistaken, I think the salon and the physical therapy room was on the assisted living floor. So, residents in memory care will have to come down. The memory care level is just the L-shape. It's the only amount of space that they would get, but as far as the ground's upkeep and cleanliness, it was nice.
The receptionist was very, very sweet, and they all just felt very, very kind. The good thing is that a lot of them have continuity. A lot of the staff have been there for years, there isn't a lot of turnovers. The receptionist has been there for like 20 years, while some people have been there like 15.
