Evolve Senior Living

We chose Azpira Place because it was a newer, brighter facility. It just had a better feel when we walked in, it did not feel institutional. It felt more like a hotel rather than a nursing home. The room sizes here are generous. I ate with my mom several time and the food was great, they are chef prepared meals. Overall, we would highly recommend it.

I went there looking for a place for my mom. The sales lady was so nice and caring as we toured the community. She truly cared and showed compassion as we discussed my mom’s care and situation. We even got to enjoy some entertainment the Saturday we were there. Unfortunately my mom was unable to move in as her health declined. It was a great place, I wished that she would have been able to make it her home.

T\his facility has been a terrific choice for my mother. It has met and exceeded expectations. The staff is very detail oriented. They are friendly and caring. The facility is very clean and well maintained. The care assistants are friendly, courteous and efficient. My mother has made many friends among the residents and her days are generally active. My brothers and I are very pleased with how well our mother has adjusted to the change in residence and seems to have taken to her new routines in a very positive way. The food is generally very good. And the dining experience is well thought out and executed. My mother has a general complaint about the pace of the dining room - too slow. I have not experienced that when I have eaten with her. I believe the problem is that many residents want to eat at the same time and that would slow the kitchen. Also patience in this age group is not in great supply. At times the care staff has been delayed in responding to requests for assistance but I believe that overall they are attentive. My mother seems quite happy residing in this facility, with its residents and staff.

Nice facility overall. Friendly management. Lots of activities for the residents. Sometimes they don't provide things like showers and maintenance is very slow to fix something. Room doesn't get cleaned enough. Food is fine.

The room is a good size very clean. Friendly staff. The nurses are very attentive. The food is over the top amazing

The staff is very friendly and engage with the residents often. My in laws can be picky about food quality. There have been a couple but being able to order on a menu and choose your meals have really made them happy. The activities list is long and they get invites to join this one or that one from other residents. The place always looks clean but I never see them cleaning. The apartment size is decent. Big bathroom and bedroom decent size Kitchenette with built in table size counter to eat at (loved this). The living room is a little smaller than what 2 people would like. I would say 1 bathroom for 2 people is difficult and would be nice if there were any 2 bed 2 bath units. I will follow up on the last comment of value for the e money. It is expensive but the fact that they have the Medicaid waiver is super nice! You need to be able to prove you can afford 2 years on your own but after that knowing you have a decent place to stay is so very nice! It had been a concern since we knew they needed more help.

As I write, the most I can say is this was the right place for me. I am so grateful that I have experienced great kindness and care from most of the staff and residents. Thank you for the reference my daughter made and was affirmed by a Place for Mom. Choosing the right recommendations for one's needs and desires is the key to success for both the inquiring resident and the appropriate home/community.

The facilities are absolutely gorgeous. Just had coffee with Mom in the courtyard - all sorts of growing flowers, fountains, and some bird feeders and lots of comfortable sitting spaces. It was super lovely. And it’s located in a very safe, lovely, and very active park. The park has live music, food trucks, restaurants, coffee and ice cream shops, a dog park - it’s so lovely and immaculately well-kept. It’s always bustling with families - just full of life. Most importantly the building is designed to bring people together. Right when I walk in they have a bar/cafe area that people congregate at. It’s so lively. Other places I’ve visited are more situated like a hotel or resort lobby where people come in and just go to their rooms - The Summit creates spaces for people to come together. Since Mom is new, she can sit at the bar and order food and talk to people who are sitting nearby if she feels like it or just sit and enjoy the meal. They also have an on-site doctor that visits every Tuesday which we’re just starting the onboarding process to. The only negative is that the studio bedrooms are very small although very nice. It’s a big change for Mom and she grumbles about how small it is - calls it a ‘no bedroom’ - but it was the only option in her price range, and all of the other amenities far, far outweigh her room size.

CIEL has been nice. My day is adjusting as well as my mom. We have been there for about two months and things are settling nicely. They are very welcoming and work with the families and help to ensure comfort. I'd say a welcoming packet or the handbook right away would be helpful. It took us a bit to get that.

I would recommend them. It's nice if you don't care about small conveniences. There are several people here that don't care. The food is delicious. We get move-in's almost every day. I have run into some very nice people since they did the new people Social, but before that, it didn't seem like too many people spoke to me. Just something I noticed.

Unsure of the value for cost but it seems fair so far. The food choices are better than some other places. Other residents are welcoming to new ones. Variety of activities. Indoor pool Primary care and PT available on site. Transport available to other appointments. Location Next to park and some restaurants and shops

What we think they could improve on would be the maintenance response. However, everything else is good and yes we would recommend The Summit of Blue Ash to other families based on the experience so far.

Food is being revamped (thank goodness) Activities staff are great Dining servers are in training and have challenges sometimes

Shuttle service, salon , dr visits all the other extra logistics for life stuff is what stuck out over other places.

What they could improve on would be the response time to family members who are the advocates for the resident

What I like the most about Novel Place is the friendliest and open bright front and dining area. Yes, I would recommend this community to other families as long as they understand that there is no generator in case of a loss of electricity. Really an oversight by management.

Nursing team is nice, but speed of service request can be better. Shuttle service and maintenance provide standout customer service. Coordinate with therapy vendors or service have been poor and slow. Dining can be improved and providing a menu for family to see, offering up alternate choices. Seems like everyone gets the served same. Food quality can be better as well. Overall clean and safe space that I feel is the right choice for my dad.

The place is very clean and bright. The CNAs are super kind, they seem like they really care about my dad and the residents. Sometimes there's a bit of a wait though when you buzz for someone, but that's to be expected I guess. My dad really likes the food and the meals they have. He doesn't do any of the activities but I wish he would.

I'd recommend the community as long as they were not a picky eater. The food was not that good. But the place was gorgeous and the staff was so kind. We picked this community because the cost was the deciding factor.
