Good Value

The value of this place is pretty good, as far as the memory care goes. As for activities, they could use some improvement. There really aren't that many at all. The food quality could also be improved. It was pretty bad when we first chose them, but it's starting to get better. Not great though. There's really nothing that stood out about them in particular, but they are in a great location, and that was a big selling point for us!

Liked Marketing Director and activities a great deal. Place was clean and residents genuinely liked it - proactively approached me and said it was "the best" place. However, lack of any type of kitchen within room probably does not make this an option.

Disturbed.

I suppose that Orchard Park is rated a 5 star if your parents are able to have assistance. Memory Care side, have all stages of Alzheimer's. My frail parent has had 2 room mates that has abused her. She is not a full blown Alzheimer patient, but has room mates that are. One, use to steal her stuff and the other one has broken my Mom arm and has pitched feces onto my mom's bed. I picked my Mom up at 9:30 a.m. and her room was a mess with feces and clothes all over and the smell was awful - when I returned Mom back at 3:30 p.m. - the room had not been touched, still smelling and a mess. This is not a nursing home, but to get into a Nursing home by Obama Care you have to have a broken hip or back that way Medicare doesn't have to pay for it long. So with a broken arm you have to learn yourself to eat with your left hand or go hungry. Even paying out lots of money - still have to be there to feed and dress her. I would take her home with me but I don't have Power of Attorney - just doing the best I can. Don't know what Captcha means. Not in my dictionary.

Hoped it would be wonderful.

Staff were helpful when questioned. Care appeared appropriate. Staff needed to be more helpful on encouraging residents to participate in activities. I rarely saw my mother participating. The food was less appealing in the memory care side than what was served in the main dining room. The facility appeared clean routinely. The room is a decent size but we are not fond of jack n Jill bathroom. Unfortunately my mother is no longer at Saddle Ridge effective [Date Removed]. She sustained a fall in the evening around 6:30 during med distribution. Was returned to her room. Was found on the floor in the morning in agony. They called me and I told them to call an ambulance. She sustained a broken hip. Was left all night on the floor by her bed in pain. Surgery was performed the next day. They filled out a report totally different from what I was told. Unfortunately they could not provide me with answers so I hired an attorney. I would not go back to this place.

Inadequate care. Understaffed.

My loved one passed away last month, and her ring which was an heirloom went missing from her finger. Her teeth were never brushed, and I was sad to see her when the care was mediocre at best. The staff seamed to be on their phones a lot and not paying much attention.

My loved one ended up not moving in. When I went to speak to the administration about my loved one not moving in. The community promised to refund me a portion of my money, since my loved one never moved in. They were supposed to pay 80% of the first month's fee, and the community fee. I am still missing money from the community, as they still owe me and my family from this fee was $5,000 for the community fee that was already paid to them.

My brother and I toured Atria on April 3. We would not select it for a few reasons. One it is outside my dad's palliative care team's area (I just learned this). Two, once someone is unable to move themselves, they need to leave the facility. Finally, they are offering a 20% discount through next Jan. but they are going to be remodeling.

Place looks OK from outside, a pretty spot by the water, but inside is another story. Meals are in a nice-looking dining room but the waiters are really, really slow. You'll hear most of the people eating here talking about how bad the food is, but they have no other choice of where to eat. The food looks unappetizing and isn't hot when it should be.

Poor transition from Truewood

This is a continuation of my review. My mom is moving because it is awful. While we were talking about the move, a ' nurse' came by and said the director wanted to talk to me. I said I didn't need to talk to him. He appeared with his financial person. The 3 of them blocked my exit. They tried to intimidate us into staying. Told lies about the new place. My mom is 101 and I'm 74. I felt I couldn't leave at that moment. Don't bring anyone there. Many are leaving.

Biggest Regret

I did recommend [community removed] and since Saddle Ridge (Calson Management) has taken over, I deeply regret recommending the facility. The new management has significantly lowered the quality of care. This facility previously provided wonderful care, but since the new management took over, things have gone downhill. Unfortunately, the facility has deteriorated under new management - staffing, communication, and resident care have all suffered.

It was an awful experience. They treat their memory care patients poorly. My grandfather was injured and left unattended. They didn't allow him in his room during the day so he was forced to sleep in an uncomfortable chair during the day. They weren't bathed or cleaned often. The list goes on.
