My mother has moved into Cogir of Mill Creek Senior Living. It's hard to say much because there's a lockdown, so we can't see what's going on. They might be a little short staffed. We have not visited since we moved her in. We just moved her stuff in there. There's not particularly any communication with the staff unless I call them. There's not much right now because everybody's kind of locked down. They just started to have meals now in the dining room. They have to take people shopping eventually.
Her door knob isn't working right. It's worn, and when you try to close it without turning the knob, it won't close and latch. They know that and it's been a couple of months and nothing has been done about it. She needs some grab handles to get in and out of the shower and they know about that as well. They said they put a work order in, and it has been two months and still nothing has happened.
My mom thinks the staff members are nice, but I don't know any of them personally. If it's 80 degrees out, it's 80 degrees in her room, and if it's 90 degrees, it's 90 degrees in her room. I would say the value for the money is average.

My mother likes it. It seems like a really nice place and it's nicely laid out. It's three levels and I like that it's more spread out. It makes my mom have to walk from her room. The people are helpful. Any kind of forms I needed filled out, they got them filled out immediately. They always have the fireplaces going, so it's warm. They have plenty of food. I haven't heard that she complained about anything. They had a sing-along yesterday, they have people that do exercises, they play pinochle, and they go to museums. There's quite a bit of activity. I'm happy with the place.

It has been great. My mom said the food is OK. I’ve eaten there a couple of times, and it is not like a five-star restaurant, but it is pretty good. The dining area is more like a restaurant open all day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and you just go in and order. They have specials, but if you don’t like what they’re having, they will make you a hamburger or a sandwich. They always have a fruit bar at breakfast and salad bar at lunch and a private dining room that you can reserve. We had a dinner party there for my dad’s birthday. There is a lot of flexibility. The common areas remind me of being in a hotel's lovely living room area. They have a media room that they use for church service or you can reserve it for a party. It feels homey but it is not small. It is bigger but doesn’t feel sterile at all to me. It has been great. Everybody has been super nice taking care of my mom and looking out for her because she has to be there for six weeks without my dad and her children. They watch out for her. She can have all her meals brought to her in her room, and they’re more than happy to do that. It is really nice.

As far as the personnel was concerned, we heard it was quite good, but we decided we're not ready to move into that kind of living. They were in the midst of doing things, so it wasn't the best at the moment, but it looked like the rooms would be alright. It looked like they had good facilities. Apparently, they had quite a few things going on as far as games and stuff, and they take people to things at times, so they are able to go around that way. They seemed to have a lot of activities going on. I liked the location, in a sense because it will put us a little closer to our daughter's place, and the layout was pretty good for the overall facility.

It seemed very nice. I like their location. The staff was interested and willing to take us around. They gave us a complete tour and even offered us a meal. They were very accommodating. It looked like they had lots of things to do. They had an exercise room, an indoor swimming pool, a library, and a game room.

In the last year I have helped three of my grandparents move into two different facility's. I also helped in the process of finding the locations. I was surprised to find so many different options. We toured many different facilities and found that there were a few things that were a must have. One being the smell a lot of homes have an Oder that just makes you feel like your in a "old folks" home. I was presently surprised that it smelled warm and cozy. All the shared spaces were open yet cozy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There are a lot of men witch is just what my grandpa was looking for. There are many activities that he will be able to participate in. The food is wonderful and the not having a time you have to go eat is just what he needs. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to help find a warn, friendly, safe, and clean place for there loved ones.I am glad he is in a great place like this that lets him still have a bit of independence! It's just what he needs.

My wife and I helped her Dad move into Cogir Mill Creek and we had an exceptional experience. David was our primary leasing contact, and he provided top notch service throughout the process. Everyone was very accommodating. The room was nicely renovated, clean, the grounds and facilities are well kept, and the location across from Mill Creek Towncenter is great.

It seemed like a very nice place, but it was too expensive. I looked at both independent and assisted living, they're apartments seem fine. They have activities like a pool, workout room, a movie studio, and a hair salon. There were plenty of things to do. The staff seemed fine and very caring. Their pricing is higher than the surrounding communities but they offer the same amenities.

It was good. I was not too impressed with the food. It is a bigger place. It is a good place for someone who is more sociable. The rooms were nice, and of big size. They have a pool. Everything is nice at this facility. The staff who assisted me was nice. The residents look very happy. It was not a depressing place. It was very clean, and did not have a smell.
