Radcliffe Place

Radcliffe Place was for seniors who wanted independent living, but they provided two meals a day in their dining room. They provided trips. They had a van that would take people to various stores in the area or to doctor's appointments. They had an arts & crafts room and a big theater room for viewing movies. The rooms themselves were larger, and they had a choice of one or two bedrooms with a little kitchenette and a living room. I thought they had an exercise club, bible study, and people that played cards and games. There was quite the variety of things. They offered breakfast and dinner. Dinner hour was 4 to 5. I thought it would be better to offer lunch and dinner if a person wanted to sleep in and doesn't need to have breakfast because lunch was so early. I thought that would be better, but that was just my opinion. I thought it was very adequate.

The food is horrible at Radcliffe Place. But she's very happy. She just hates the food and the service. I think the staff is good. The rooms were very nice and very spacious. They have a bus that takes them to doctor's appointments. They have been cooking dinner every night, but I think they're getting away from that. So I think they're trying to phase out the food service. They have activities off-site that they take them to; they have exercises and movies. I like its location to us, and it seems to be safe. But they won't meet with me about the food. They won't talk about it and have been really close-minded as far as helping in that respect.

It's only been a month that my Mom has been at Radcliffe Place. I showed her 3 or 4 different places, and my mom chose this. It's clean and very nice. They have good food too. They have assistance if you need it; there's a caregiver who comes in if you schedule an appointment with them. She has a very nice one-bedroom, probably 700 square feet. It has a small kitchen with refrigerator, oven, stove, and everything she needs. She does participate in social recreations in the place. She likes it there.

The Radcliffe place is a great environment for the elderly, with many activities, and amenities available. To start with the staff were very polite when assistance was needed. They take their time with assisting you to make sure that everything you need is taken care of. The amenities available include a dining room, with both a continental breakfast service, as well as a dinner service which are available everyday. The facilities include, a movie theater, game rooms, activity areas, as well as a room for physical therapy or exercise. Other rooms include a computer area which is complete with two computers available for internet usage. The building is right by Lake Meridian, as well as a nearby grocery store for any supplies that may not be provided. The food here is also very delicious and you are served by a very quick and responsive wait staff, that is very friendly. The dining room also provides you the ability to get together with visiting family members, and friends allowing you to be comfortable no matter where you are in the building.
