Holiday by Atria

After talking with a Place for Mom and checked out Echo Ridge and was pleasently surprised to see the facility. The staff was very helpful in explaining the services provided . The facilities were top notch with virtually no need for anything more. The dining facilities, the menu and service were great. They worked hard to see that our available budget could work.

The management was incredibly helpful in getting my mom moved - and were there to help us with everything from financial choices to actually moving her! This place is hopping! Tons of activities, great food - just couldn't have found a more perfect place!

I looked around at other places and I was happy with the value they offered. They really worked with us on the pricing. There is something going on all the time and the people participate in the activities, they aren't just sitting around. It seems to me that they have a really high management turnover. They have all been great, but just when you start to really get to know them they are gone and there is someone new. Also, the food could be better. They have an on-site hair salon, housekeeping and transportation. When I walked in to tour, the people there were so great, I just knew it was the right place. My mom moved 60 miles from the home she lived in for 47 years. She moved to Echo Ridge in August and has already developed many friendships and is very happy. And that makes the rest of the family happy.

What a wonderful facility! A stellar management staff, resident services staff, good mix of activities, reasonable cost, excellent food with multiple choices every day for every meal and a superb privately run aid service on site for extra needs for some residents (pay for what you need). Positive attitudes & smiles from ALL staff. Fleming Point saved my Dad from years of boredom in a nursing home.

Visited them lat Thursday and enjoyed the lunch, and the tour. Whoever built this thought about seniors. The halls are not that long, and the people were very friendly. They took their time, and even spoke with the chef personally. I have to consider the distance.

I've eaten there several times and the food is good. They don't eat there at night because they offer desert and bread at every meal. I wish they would have a little more in the way of options for low calorie, or special diets. It seemed a little more relaxed and homey, than the other one we were looking at. They have a recumbent bike, that they like to use, which is nice.

I had a strange but lovely 3 month life at Grasslands. I moved in then 3 days later was in a hospital for some time. Then, Family Rehab Center where I was for several weeks and then released to go back to Grasslands. I was there about two to three days when family members brought me to an assisted living facility that has nothing like I had at Grasslands. AND lost the greatest perks. You could go to other places throughout U.S. and Canada and stay in a similar apartment just like the one I had at Grasslands, for free. I want to go back there to live soooooo bad!

Rock Creek was a very nice place for my mother. They are very kind and considerate. The live in managers are caring and listen well to the residents. There are many and varied activities available. Apartments are cleaned regularly, linens are provided. The dining room is very pleasant and friendly. There are ambassador residents that make the newcomers feel welcome and make sure they have companions during meals.

I'm SO excited about the possibilities here :) This community has the look and feel of what I had in mind to help her really enjoy this stage of her life :) I am ESPECIALLY impressed by the ability of her staying for 90 days to 'test drive' and make sure she is happy here! This gives her authority and I believe that will help her feel better about the transition she is going to go through! What a GREAT idea! I certainly hope this place looks as good in person because I am in love with it!

My mother was a resident at Durham Regent in August, 2013. She fell and had to be admitted to the Durham Rehab Center on Roxboro Road. She only stayed @ the Regent for 12 days. However, we were very pleased and she was happy. She stayed @ the Rehab Center for 40 days and we were concerned that she would have to be admitted to a Skilled Nursing Center. She did well and stayed Ne.ver thought she would live independent again. After the bleed near her brain was drained on 9/12/2013 She became much better. During November, 2013 the family decided she could live independent. I went back to the Durham Regent and again was pleased with the facility. She moved in during the first week in December, 2013. And again has done well considering everything she sent thro. Short term memory is affected a bit as is her balance. Long story short, we are pleased. My ONLY problem is it seems some of the residents are not truly independent and have to rely a little too much on caregivers. The physical part, walkers, etc does not bother me too much, but it does seem to me that (I don't really know how to describe this). are not mentally alert enough to be in a truly "independent facility I am completing this survey for my mother. .

Very nice. Mom liked the pictures on the walls in hallways. It has everything she needs. Phil & Cheral where great. Need ti find out if they have wi-fi there. Best part is Moms church is already sending a bus on Sunday Mornings, and Phil & Cheral are going to become members of the same church. That is a real pluse.

The first impression: The people there were smiling real smiles. The environment was warm and well lit. Wow there is a way to lock in the current rate for the duration of his stay. The space is comfortable. The meals are flavorful.

i WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH iLLAHEE Hills. I had the opportunity to try their noon meal on Jan 8th-My mom's birthday; and it was delicous. This community has alot to offer my mom. The managers are very helpful and friendly to my mom too. The residents are very nice too.

A wonderful place with great amenities. The people we spoke with loved living there. However, it is an Independent Living facility with no movement into different levels when needed. It also does not accept medicaid which will need to be an option for us.

I can not stay enough good things about Summerfield Estates. Everyone at Summerfield, from sales manager Rick Bauer, the managers, events coordinator, housekeeping, etc. have all been wonderful. My mother has been treated like a queen! Two weeks after moving in, Mom fell while walking her dog. She needed several stitches in her forehead and fractured her wrist. She was transported to the ER within minutes of her fall and the staff literally waited on her hand and foot while she healed. The meals are generous portions and are very tasty. Mom loves the choices that are provided each and every day. I would highly recommend Summerfield Estates.

It's been very good. I like it. The food would be the only thing that could be improved. Sometimes the food is overcooked. It was the most reasonable.

So far it's great. She doesn't use any of the personal care. My mother loves the staff. She seems to be ok with the food, she is a fussy, healthy eater, but if she doesn't like, she can order off the menu. There were two key things that we were chasing, obviously a price point of course as she is on a fixed income, and they had a price lock for life, and the closeness to family. This has met all of our needs.

I was looking for a place for my mom. The Staff here was awesome. Very nice place. Moved her in. She has been there 2 weeks and loves it!

I can't say enough about them. These are terrific people too: They Care. This is a stationary cruise ship. Prices are reasonable. She is a very difficult person and I would not have had the patience they had. They check in with us. The food is good. The chef even came out to meet us. They have things to do there. She finds fault with perfect, but she can't find anything wrong here. The rooms are excellent, they're a good size. Everyone I met there went out of their way and continued to do so. The place is in a lovely area. The bottom line is, they have set the benchmark for how senior living should be, and I am a very critical person. It's just a blessing. without that life would be miserable for her and for everyone else around her. Most of the places are really ambivilent and really don't care and this place does. They have wide hallways, it's bright, and decorated, like an upscale hotel. They have movies twice a day there's always something going on. If you are not being entertained that is your own issue they have activities all day from morning to night. This is a trophy operation. If there is one complaint it's that they run the heat to high. It's inviting they have 25-30 rocking chairs on the covered porch. This is a gold star operation and people should have no fear working with them, even with the money situation, they work with you. Everyone was just warm and friendly and genuine. The director and another staff member are nurses but they don't have medical staff this is a 911 operation if there is an emergency. The room is about 350 sq ft the bathroom is huge they don't have a tub, a shower is safer for seniors, and its large with a bench and pull cords for emergencies. She wasn't happy with the padding under the carpet because she shuffles, and so they changed the carpet. Individual heating and air conditioning in each room. You don't feel claustrophobic. On each of the four corners of each floor they have a sitting area with bathrooms. You always get a person on the phone when you call. I can't say enough about them!

The tour with Rick Bauer was excellent. We were looking for a place for my mother, who was living in Florida. Rick arranged for a weekend visit and Mom absolutely loved Summerfield. This past weekend I flew to Florida and drove a Uhaul truck back to Shreveport with all of her belongings. Everyone at Summerfield is very friendly and helpful. My mother was very excited to be moving into such a loving and caring environment.
