Brookdale

Good place, cost was to high.

One of only a couple of facilities with enhanced care that allows for help getting in and out of bed. Cost start at $3955 and another $1300 will probably have to be added. They do not take Medicaid...TOO Expensive....They do take care of all level until end of life. 77 apartments....

beautiful & compassionate. Concerned there may not be enough care. Many add-ons in fee.

VERY upscale, 'enriched life style.' No costs given, little accent on progressive care.

I liked Clare Bridge very much this is one I will keep on my list.

Liked, but does not take altcs for the first year

The Gaston Place worked with our limitied budget and were willing to meet us in the middle. Most of the therapists, nurses, and aides are extremely friendly and really kind people. We had toured another community in the same price range but chose the Gaston Place because of it was cleaner and friendly. The only disappointment has been with the activities scheduled. Their activities calendar is filled with activities but when I have stopped by to visit my mom or join her in an activity I am told that the activity was cancelled that day. It seems if there is not enough interest the activity is cancelled. It would be nice for the residents to have more stuff to do and that what activity is scheduled to happen actually happens. I think my mom and other residents would benefit from being able to participate in the activities that are scheduled. It may take the staff reaching out and reminding residents to help include them, but it seems the activities just get cancelled instead which is disappointing.

BEST LOCATION, but no vacancies at the moment and studio starts at $3400!...next to a senior center; in house Dr.and nurse calls; in-house $1 store and very important activities director. Studio deluxe at $3,900 was best value!!! Will work with other Emeritus properties to secure a room for mom.

Emeritus property. Moose Penfold spent more than an hour talking with me about Pine Park, the Aid and Attendance benefit from teh VA, his experiences with his parents, what Pine Park provides. He was very personable and helpful. Rates begin at $1,825.00. One bedroom for two people is right at $3,000. One time fee of $2,000 is non-refundable.

ALTCCS one story assisted living and memory care center. Mom would be appropriate for assisted living, and they would want her in assisted living for as long as possible. A move to memory care would occur because of resistance to care/wandering/etc. Some cognitively impaired ladies in assisted living wear wrist bracelets which lock the front door if they get too close. There are 64 assisted living beds with shared rooms or 2 sizes of studios. The dining room has daily menus with 2 changing choices and other foods which are always available. Breakfast is at 8, but late risers can have breakfast brought to their room or saved. Lunch is at 12; dinner is at 5. Seating is assigned. Housekeeping including linen changes, laundry, 3 meals/snacks, and an emergency call pendant are included. There is no cable TV in the rooms, but there is a Bible study and church service. Three nurse practitioners provide primary care on site; there is a dentist, podiatrist, mobile lab services, and mobile imaging. A studio with level 1 services (escort, showers, laying out clothes) costs $3325/mo. A shared Friendship Suite costs $2525/mo. The staff seemed friendly, and seemed to try to provide interesting appropriate activities for each resident. There is a lovely large grassy courtyard with a gazebo and shaded patio. Non-cognitively impaired residents act as 'mother hens' for the cognitively impaired. The dining room is big with 2 walls of windows & laminate flooring.

Older facility but renovation in process. Homey atmosphere...residents appeared very happy---staff has amazing longevity! Lunch smelled great! Had Rudy's salad bar. Libby was super nice, warm & helpful. Consider for future needed respite stay @ $150/day with only one week minimum.

Nice staff, building showing signs of wear, but nothing major. Good options for Indep. care to assisted care. Want to show this one to Mom.

Beautiful place. Above our budget.

Like bdrm with bay window, has kitchenette, cable in room, near hosp, all utilities except phone. nice rooms.

4/12/2013 visited The Heritage. Tour conducted by Anne Marie Rawls. Residents very friendly and they all expressed how much they enjoyed the activities, the other residents and the staff. The day we visited they were having 'Casino Night' for the residents and there was lots of participation by the residents and the staff (chef, executive director, maintenance mgr, etc) were 'dealers' at each table. They were interacting with the residents beautifully and there was lots of laughing and comraderie.

Rooms were very nice - especially liked the size of the studio - much bigger than I expected. The one bedroom was very nice and I was advised rooms would get new carpeting (if needed) and paint. Facility seemed well run, residents seemed groomed and happy. The facility itself is under a facelift so hard to tell. Pool in back looked inviting. No memory care which is a little disappointing since dad is exhibiting a little memory loss so I'm concerned about the future. If he needs memory care he'll have to move out of facility.

We met with Sharon and she provided info & tours of one-bedroom and studio. This is a nice place--had a very friendly, nice feeling. Nothing 'wrong' with it--the only drawback for us is the location.

I went to visit this place - it is nice, clean, small which is what we are thinking my mom would like - most of the residents are women and are in wheel chairs. My mom is not in a wheel chair as of yet and looking for activity choices available / scheduled ...? very nice people way more than my mom can spend monthly at this time and the cost would go up as she got worse

Visited on Saturday, 4/6. Loved it. Warm, welcoming, clean, with cheerful staff. The fact that it faces Poplar Avenue was a non-issue. Very peaceful outdoor seating areas (front porch and back patio). Studio apt w/ vaulted ceiling makes room feel larger. Residents seemed happy and alert. Common areas were cozy and clean. Wish they had memory care.
