Priority Life Care

They were able and willing to provide care that other facilities could not. Staff are extremely attentive.

We checked out several facilities in the Grand Rapids area. Cortland Riverside Gardens was unquestionably the nicest of them all. It’s in a quiet residential area a short distance from a beautiful park. The rooms were larger by far than other facilities, allowing my mom to keep most of her belongings. Every room has a kitchenette and a TV. There are plenty of comfortable common areas. The director, Joy, made the transition easy for us and we have peace of mind with our whole experience.

Staff members are very friendly and more importantly very patient with the elderly I noticed on several accounts know the patience with residents inability to communicate effectively and ensure when walking around there's a staff member to help them so they don't over exert themselves. If I could give the staff a 10 I would. Mom is an independent resident. The care she currently receives is very basic. 5 for amenities . There have been numerous complaints about the quality of food. I'm sure the manager is look g into this Mom loves all the activities. Unfortunately the price has gone up quite a bit over the past 18 months and some of the amenities were not clearly explained. While I was able to adjust this was quite a sticker shock

My loved one was previously a resident at Poet's Walk Warrenton and the experience was great. The cleanliness and friendliness were great. The staff, care services and meals were also great. Based on our experience, I would recommend Poet's Walk Warrenton to others.

My loved one was briefly a resident at Celebration Villa of Manresa and the overall experience at this facility was great. They were wonderful. My loved one was not able to participate in the activities, so I cannot rate those. But from what I witnessed, they looked good. Ultimately, they were unable to meet my loved one's needs due to her deteriorating condition. No fault of theirs whatsoever.

The attention to patient calls was top notch. You can hear the call system if any employee is near and you can hear "pendant pressed room 110" and it would give 3 calls if they were super busy but that was rare. They got there in a timely fashion. It was the first time in Dad's care that we didn't worry about neglect. In addition he was always clean. Everyday a fresh outfit, clean, taken to 3 meals a day. There were no exceptions, unless a resident was sick, and Dad loved that. A schedule kept. And the room was bigger than others at places we had seen. We didn't have to downsize as drastically although he had come from an independent living. Dad's usual daytime nurse was [name removed] and she made his day because she never talked to him like he was a child. They all were kind and cool like that. I enjoyed all my interactions with the staff. They really cared.

My experience with the community was limited; as a walk through visit. The facility was clean, staff friendly, and furnishings were modern and well maintained.

Overall they are all 5's. We are so glad you recommended this facility. We would never have found them. Everyone is so friendly and always willing to help our family and our mom. They truly are wonderful. Our mom is now out of her apartment from 9am to 8pm doing activities all day. That is why we chose Celebration Villas so she can remain active. It has been great!

Celebration Villa was a great fit for my Mom. It was a smaller community which provided a higher degree of care and interaction. My Mom was a social person and she enjoyed the daily activities, conversation during meal time,and hanging with others in the main area. The facility was all on 1 floor which made getting around much easier for Mom. The meals were fantastic. The staff was kind, empathetic, and supportive. I would definitely recommend Celebration Villa to anyone.

Everyone who works at the Poet's Walk Leesburg community whether its the aides, or the administrative/reception position, everyone works for the betterment of the residents who are living there.

In my opinion, the best thing about the community is the individual caregivers. They are all wonderful, warm and kind. My husband is in late stage all timers and he can be difficult to deal with that times. They are always patient with him and happy to see him and manage to get him to do things that the rest of us can't. And the med tech are absolutely terrific. Custodial staff and the kitchen help also pitch in whenever necessary to help out with my husband. They are very kind to him and I always get the feeling that they like him very much in spite of the fact that he can be difficult at times as far as I'm concerned, he's in the best place. He can be considering his needs at the present time.

I would say a 5 on all but number 5. On meals and dining, the food is great, but because of staffing shortages it is not uncommon for dad to wait an hour after sitting before food arrives. Overall University Pines has been great. And the waiting has been an occasion for my dad to practice patience.

We’ve been involved with Celebration Villa for around two months now and we are pleased. Great staff, lots of activities to participate in, good food, good care and beautiful facility. Glad we chose them.

I would and have recommended them to other families. If I had a question or my dad needed something done, it was handled immediately. Advice to other families? Visit as often as possible. Be involved with the residents care. They had my dad ready for appointments and we picked him up and took him. When we returned, they came out and talked to him, hugged him and walked him back to his room. They have wonderful programs to keep the residents active and their minds busy. On [date removed] my dad passed away. He was a quick turn. Hospice came to the facility and the staff at Colonial was there checking in every hour. I was with my dad when he passed. I have no regrets with his care and the facility. They are amazing...I was no longer my father's care giver, I was his daughter again and we enjoyed many hours together.

[name removed] from A Place for Mom is a local senior living advisor in Montoursville. After giving him my information about my mother ( who had fallen the previous day), [name removed] from Celebration Village called me. She already knew the circumstances regarding my mother because [name removed] had filled her in. I didn’t have to go through telling the story all over again. [name removed] answered all of my questions. My aunt and uncle took my mom to see Celebration Villa, less than 1 mile from her house. They loved the place. There was a one bedroom suite available so Mom cut a check and moved in a few weeks later, 3 weeks after the initial fall. Mom is happy not to be living alone anymore and keeps herself busy. CV drives her to doctor appts, bridge club, and book club. She doesn’t have to worry about anything. All is taken care of by the wonderful staff there. [name removed] and [name removed] know how to answer all the questions and make the big move from home seamless.

I do admire and appreciate a display of paramount importance of qualified skills for maintenance/staff here. This has made me very appreciative of such a wonderful teamwork.

This is my first experience with an ALF but it seems good. Staff is responsive to questions and the place is well maintained. I think like most places these days there is staff turnover and vacancies but not much you can do about that.

It is a wonderful place to have your loved one placed, the staff is attentive and friendly. I would just recommend they bring their love ones meals a couple times a week to change it up for them. My father's mother was in the same place years ago and they took great care of her. I liked how clean it was. Mostly I was impressed by the nursing staff who were quick to notify me of any medical issues and very patient and willing to discuss any questions or concerns I had.

It is the Best Place he could be Living at! We talk everyday of his wonderful experiences there, the Staff, Absolutely Great Food and Surroundings. Everyone seems to know him and he Enjoys helping out whenever he can - the Staff and the other Residents.. SO Very Thankful he is there! Couldn't be a more Perfect Place for him! The Staff is Very Caring. The Place is kept up Beautifully and I believe the Fee is Very Good for All they Offer.

The setting is beautiful. My dad loves the horse farm that is adjacent to the community. The staff has been very helpful and friendly too. The community just gives off a warm and comfy feeling when you walk in the door. My dad is very happy there and that is all we can ask for!
