Spectrum Retirement

Things are going fine. It's a good place. So far, we do not have any complaints about the facility or the staff there. So far, we have had a pretty good experience at Peakview and we are getting settled in nicely.

It's been fine. My mom has gotten pretty well settled in here. It's clean and the staff is friendly. We haven't had any major concerns so far.

This is a nice place with nice décor. The staff is friendly and helpful. There have been some communication issues with the staff and the family, but we think it is resolved now. They are nice, but could use improvement.

No openings currently. Apartments are NOT furnished, rentals are on a month to month basis. Pet friendly. Studios and 1BR units with kitchenette - 3 sizes each. Monthly rent ranges from [removed] to [removed] plus ala carte services. Rent includes utilities, housekeeping, 2 loads of laundry per week, cable TV (not phone), 3 meals daily

HighPointe Assisted Living is a very nice facility, but the staff members there, especially the administration department, is not very responsive to the family needs. I would rate it four - stars overall.

At Gardens at Ocotillo Senior Living their assessments for intake were pretty good. Specifically with my mothers case she was border line between assisted and memory care. We put her in assisted living initially but quickly decided she needed to go to memory care. The staff were flexible and willing to work with us. I really appreciated that.

My loved one's toilet backed up yesterday after hours and there was no one there to do it, the care is not twenty-fours hour at Crestview Senior Living, so I had to go up there and do it all myself.

good facility, activities and food,,,attentive staff

It's a new place, clean and very nice looking. Friendly staff, nice residents. The food in the dining rooms is mediocre institutional. A bit of a disappointment for a place that is so good in other respects. One staff member changed my father's catheter bag, but didn't attach the new bag properly, so after he left my father leaked urine all over the carpet.

I took a tour of Homestead while looking for a place for my mother that is closer to where I live. She is currently in a retirement community on the east coast. There are a lot of positives about Homestead including the friendliness of the staff, the intimate size and family-like feel to the place, and the available activities. Since I only have one other place to compare it to at this point, my only real concern is that it seems a bit pricey. For an equivalent, if not a bit cheaper price, my mother's current unit is significantly larger and has more of an apartment feel to it with separate rooms. Upon reflection, I also decided that the 3-meal-a-day setup at Homestead may not be the best fit for her. She currently can choose from 1, 2 or 3 meals a day and when she goes out to eat or eats in her apartment, the meals she misses carry over to the next month. I feel that she would be "wasting" a lot of her meals under the 3-meal-a-day plan. Back to the positives, it appears that Homestead is a very caring place and that they work very hard to provide the assistance needed for seniors to live comfortably in their own places.

My aunt has been a Crestview resident for 5 years now & is very happy there. She has a lovely 2 bedroom apartment with stove, microwave, refrigerator & dishwasher and a nice patio. She participates in many activities & has made lots of new friends there.

This was our first experience with independent senior living. Its a little pricey. Food was fair to good. Staff was always caring and helpful. Sandy always made activities fun.

I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. The facility was new looking, well kept, and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional. However, my loved one was a bit beyond the level of care they provide here. It is definitely worth a look for those looking into assisted living, however!

Unfortunately we didn't get to stay long, but we loved the place.

Beautiful facility. AS we arrived, the bus was leaving for an outing. We did not see many residents in the facility while we were there. We ate lunch in the dining room alone. There were a handful of residents eating sandwiches in the Café next door. It turns out that the meal plan (2 meals a day) includes breakfast and either lunch or dinner (but not both), though you can purchase them. My impression is that this lovely facility is perfect for fairly active adults who are able to take advantage of the numerous outings.

Three Oaks is clean, and has a pleasant living atmosphere. Overall the staff is knowledgeable friendly, and do seem to really care about their residents. My mother has lived there for 7 months and is adjusting to assisted living life. She has not always been completely satisfied, but the staff has always tried to accommodate her the best they can. There has been much discussion among residents about the meals recently regarding the quality. It is my understanding residents have not been happy with the food, and hope things get changed soon. Overall Three Oaks has been good, and i believe they are striving to make it better.

Three oaks was a nice place. It's clean and new, and the people were friendly. We did move out though, because after the price was agreed upon, and we moved her in. Once we got there, they tacked on a couple of thousand dollars, in extra charges for specialized care that she didn't need. That made it no longer affordable.

The Gardens at Ocotillo Senior Living is a very nice place. I have heard some complaints about the food. That's the only complaint that I have heard. Everything else is very good. Overall, It is a very nice place and I would recommend it.

My mother is satisfied with everything except the dining room. She says it's good food that is not well prepared. They could improve on the quality of the preparation, like making sure the food is well cooked and hot. They do have activities but not everyone is receptive to them. The location of the Shawnee Hills is convenient. My mother is very happy with everything else. (Care Services not applicable)

They're level of communication with all of the family members has been very good. The admission process was very well handled. Any time there have been any issues, they have worked to get them straightened out. They certainly met and exceeded our expectations and that of our in-laws. They are very happy to be there. It is a very welcoming place, both in terms of welcoming the residents and in terms of welcoming in family members for meals and visits. The only area for improvement is that they could have communicated a little better with us and among themselves in terms of who is doing what with the care services.
