Priority Life Care

My biggest issue is that there is nothing in writing for a new resident. Such as "what day is trash day?" What are the times for meals? Just stuff that new residents don't know already.

Brentwood Assisted Living gives compassionate care to my parents.

We picked Celebration Villa for the following reasons, in addition to items noted above: one BR unit with balcony, monthly price met her budget, location convenient to local children and grand children and familiar to her (e.g., near stores where she used to shop), and ease of transition from her current independent living to assisted living within the same building if/when she makes that transition.Overall impression during visits, confirmed by mom's living experience: competent and friendly professional staff; friendly residents with similar socioeconomic demographics (comfortably middle/upper middle class, but not country-club); random residents we talked to during visits liked living there; food a bit bland (negative #1), facilities a bit worn compared to a couple other places (negative #2).

All was good. The only thing I didn't understand (because it wasn't made clear) is that I did not have access to the room from the time I paid the deposit until move in day...to get the room ready. I only had access to the room the day before move in. I would recommend the facility to others.

The staff is okay. Not unfriendly, but not proactive either. It's the cheapest option in the area and isn't bad. On the Independent Living side there is zero assistance. It would be nice if they added Ala Carte items, like help with meds. They are raising the rate in 2024, but it's still the most affordable option compared to other locations.

The reason we chose Celebration Villa of Exeter was because the facility was very clean, and the overall field made me feel very comfortable and it was a small setting. It is a small community and mostly over 70. There is no ethnic diversity.

This is our first time in an assisted living facility. It would have been nice for more activities to keep them busy during the day. Based on the experience we would recommend this community so far to other families.

[name removed] was so thoughtful to check in every so often because our process took a long time to find the right place AND the right time to make the move. Overall experience rated 4 but they have new staff so expected some hiccups. My concerns have been addressed or they are working on resolutions: Laundry = slow turn around. Cable TV- terrible connection / service and frustrating for my mom. My mom's room was in great condition at move in and they keep it clean. As well as the building and the dining room. The staff has helped so much with getting my mom settled and comfortable. They treat her like family. The nurses that I have met, Genuinely care about my mom. care services - so far so good. My mom has commented how good the food is. I have eaten there too! Not bad! She doesn't go down for breakfast so one of the nurses helps her make her (keurig) coffee and helps her prep her food sometimes in her apartment kitchen. WOW can't say enough about Sodalis' activities. [name removed] and [name removed] keep the residents busy. We were so happy how quickly our mom got involved, made friends, participated in activities and outings! The Facebook page says it all. I love seeing our mom in the photos smiling and having fun. One of the best prices in town...and I shopped around and toured 5+ communities. We picked Sodalis because of its location (close to our house) And the pricing .And the size of the building. Not too big and overwhelming. Truly feels like a Bed and Breakfast and tastefully decorated. Our mom was VERY against moving and "losing her independence" but now she is safe and happy and stays pretty busy! She still has her privacy in her new apartment but spends most of her time with her new friends sitting outside or doing activities. What a great place for her to live and enjoy the day to day around great people and caregivers.

Our loved one [name removed] seems well adjusted and says he likes it there. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.

The staff at Celebration Villa of Teays Valley are wonderful. Especially [name removed], the main nurse. And [name removed] who works very closely with a lot of the wheelchaired folks. Their activities are wonderful. The staff works hard to make things go well -- example: the picnics, the Halloween holidays, the Thanksgiving dinner, the indoor carnival that they organized, etc. They are renovating a lot of areas, so that's good. All new furniture was a good move. It's a little bit expensive, but about normal compared to others in the area.

My mother is currently a resident at Brookdale Deer Creek. Most everything has been very good for her at this facility so far. The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The meals are also great. The staff and care services are good. The activities are okay. Overall, I would definitely recommend Brookdale Deer Creek to others.

I would say that Brookdale was a nice small intimate community. I chose Brookdale for the size and the price.

Mind that I don't live there. They do a lot of special themes on Friday nights where people can drink and gather. They have places they take a group to different restaurants and areas of interest 2 or twice a week. I would recommend it.

Know what "level of care" is involved with your loved one. The price changes dramatically as their level increases!! I didn't know pets were there and didn't need leaches! the staff was very pleasant. The move in process was easy once the mower on the trailer was moved! The meals were good! Housekeeping kept everything clean and were accommodating! Maintenance put a fence up so people could go outside on their porch without the dogs bothering them. The only complaint that I have was not knowing the level of care prior to move in. I would recommend Celebration Villa of Hearthstone to others.

When it comes to the cleanliness of the community the lobby smells like stale urine. We have not eaten there are been to the dining room so we cannot comment on that category. It is expensive, but they are a secured facility and the price doesn't increase with her level of care.

[name removed] very warm and welcoming and reassuring. Process was efficient. It is only for memory care; one level; not crowded; appeared clean; responsive to my questions.

Close enough to get to easily. Very friendly staff. Light, bright, well decorated. It looks happier than all others I looked at.I would say, it isn't perfect but it is probably the best I can find in this area.

As a resident with dementia, and him not being aware that he is unable to care for himself, he has an extremely difficult time accepting that it is necessary for him to be there. The option of it being a Secure Facility has literally been a life saver.

She liked that it was smaller in size than the others we toured. She also liked that the shower didn't have a big step in ledge. It was also the brightest. They also had a special offer if you signed paperwork before the end of July.

There is a shortage of qualified caregivers to work with the memory care residents at the facility. Meals are well prepared and are delicious in the common dining area for all residents. There are plenty of activities. Value is tolerable for the first year. The percentage increase across the board is exorbitant or excessive and cannot be justified.
