Leisure Care, LLC/One Eighty

We love it, she is really happy here. A little more variety in the activities would be nice. They mostly just have bingo and crafts, and movie night once in a while, and live entertainment once in a while, but she wishes there were more outings. She loves the food. They had the most reasonable price, and they able to help us set up ways to pay, loans and benefits we could apply for, other places didn't do that. Tracy was wonderful about soothing my concerns, about the transition. And actually the nurses have been better so far.

When I arrived an awesome band ensemble was playing! The cafe was open and was stocked with cheese and crackers, coffee, tea etc. The place is clean, friendly and smells nice. Great dining room and library as well as a fitness program that seems hard to beat.

My husband and I visited the community today to preview it as a potential place for my mother. I was really impressed with the facility and the staff. Gwyn gave us a complete tour, introduced us to staff, told us about expansion plans and answered all of our questions. We visited the dining room and observed the food and service. I asked a table of nice ladies how the food is and they all commented that it is delicious. The food looked good and very well prepared. The residents really seemed happy and content. I have read the reviews and all of the recent reviews are very positive. Gwyn told us that they had a change in Exec. Directors early on and it seems that the negative reviews were from that transitional period. I was very pleasantly surprised at the facility, the activities and the whole atmosphere and I really like that they don't segregate residents based on their care needs. This community might just be the perfect fit for mom.

They have sent in people before they were trained on CPAP. She’s been out on outings. It’s great. Fairwinds was one of the first communities we saw and I wish we’d just picked it right away. My loved one has seen people move out – but they come back. Part of it is the open kitchen at Fairwinds, so you can eat anywhere from 7 to 6.

Treeo is a brand new facility in Orem, Utah. We toured this facility while looking for a place for my mother-in-law. The facility is lovely with full, modern (stainless steel appliances) kitchens and decent sized apartments. Bathrooms are handi-cap accessible with step in showers and high toilets. The meal we had in the dining room was very tasty with moderate portion sizes. Staff is very friendly and seem to know their residents well. The only drawback, in my opinion, was the lack of an outdoor garden space where residents could relax and socialize. The interior courtyard is, instead, the parking lot. For young retirees able to live independently, this would be a wonderful residence. Unfortunately we needed the option of more assisted care and choose to go elsewhere.

As a health professional this is one of the facilities I frequently visit, especially the memory unit, had the opportunity to observe the kind of care is provided and I have to mention, the staff is very friendly, kind and seems to understand the importance of caring of people in such need as Alzheimer's patient's. The person who actually is in charge of unit knows what she is doing and definitely to her the priority is the patient and the families.Thank you very much for all you do to each and everyone of the staff working there, I highly recommend this unit if you are looking for a place kind, clean and caring.

The biggest thing is… my mom says the food. My mom would like more familiar foods. They do a good job with the laundry. It’s the community that my mom felt the most comfortable with. It’s close to two of her children and that made her feel more comfortable. There is enough parking.

It’s a very nice place as far as the ability their quality of life still and still help them when they need the help.. good food, they’ve got good food there, pretty friendly staff. Not much of an outside area, with a couple of benches. Parking can be a little rough.

Those places are very expensive. They charged $19 a plate for Easter dinner for guests. I really like the place and they’re happy there. They are always doing something, field trips and exercises classes. The residents all really happy and interact with each other. I was really impressed with the physical therapy there. That was part of why we chose this community.

Nice, very new - only opened about two weeks. It is a retirement facility, not set up for independent living the same way others are.

I feel like we are getting what we pay for. The managment staff I talk to is a five. They are very concientious in coming if she needs something. They do have bible study, but she wishes there was a gym. She would like to go on a few outings. She loves the food, the food is a five. They need a van that will transport wheelchairs. I have heard they are trying to get one. We liked the atmosphere a lot, and the really friendly administrative staff. It won't win a beauty contest, but they have a motto, something about we treat you like it's your home and we make you feel at home. It's true too! I would recommend them to everybody.

They do a good job with the care here, and the facility itself is nice looking. We did have a few issues however, and ended up having to move my loved one out. My loved one was in a shared room, and was having issues with the roommate (living space crowded with medical equipment, and an absolutely-no-lights-at-night rule) that lead to a few falls. I feel like these issues could have been resolved by simply placing her with a different roommate, but that solution wasn't ever one they tried. It was a nice place but unfortunately did not work out due to these circumstances.

Within budget - offers flexible hours and some transport. Nice environment. Clean and residents appear happy.

Making the decision for my father to go to a Memory Care Unit was not fun or enjoyable. Barb at MacKenzie Place was very helpful, professional and took some of the fear, and weight off of a decision no one "wants" to make. The place is clean, the staff very friendly and knowledgable and they all seem to take of the family as well as the resident.

My step mother choose this place as she has friends here and she had been here before, she did not look at any other place. She was unaware that I had contacted A place for Mom.

I think they are doing quite well. I think because of the problem I'm with my insurance, it's not really their fault. Communication-wise I was unaware that being in the memory section was still consider assisted living. I can't blame that on them but the new owners have only had it for like six months and I think that the problem with the communication is that they're new. As far as the facility itself, the people themselves and what they do, is good, but when you come down to the beginning part when you're getting them in the communications at the beginning part are not exactly what I would want them to be. Because of their inability and too newness to handle that properly, it was too overwhelming for me. As far as everything else goes it was fine just a real bumpy road in the beginning and that is why the overall is a four. In talking to other people they didn't have the same experience because they had other things to deal with, they had nothing but nice things to say. I liked it because it was not a huge facility and it is family owned and they were fixing to put a lot of money into remodel which they are doing and in a timely manner and a good manner and I felt it was more comfortable than other facilities. They want to do well they're striving to do well and they are following through on what their promises were. It was not institutionalized feeling.

This place is newly renovated and renovation is still going on. I was impressed by the amenities and I like the rooms also, since they had a kitchenette. I am bringing my mom back to this place.

My brother hated it, the room was trashy, the furniture that you would find on the street and put in the room, the people were nice, the rest of the place looked nice. The people were excellent. I didn't handle the payment part so value would be hard to judge. They weren't really prompt when you rang the bell, and when he had an accident and came back an hour later and they still hadn't changed the bed. They had a big TV room and you can sit outside but that is the extent of the activities that I am aware of. The food was ok.

The people were very nice and the residents are friendly. The place is very clean. The maintenance staff was quick to setup the cable tv and hang the pictures. They paired my father with a nice gentleman for meals and the food has been good although the service is sometimes slow. I wish they had more activities for men. The only negative is related to the medications. Residents must stop at the nurses station to get their meds and there is often a line and you have to wait. It took a week to get my father's medications straightened out which was concerning because he went 7 days without some of the meds that he needed.

Liked it. Might be too big for mom, but will take her there to see. Didn't have a quiet room in her price range :(
