Holiday by Atria

This community is pretty good value, it is semi-independent living there are not a lot of care services provided, however if you do need more assistance all you have to do is just set that up. They have bingo and music for the residents who want to participate, and the activities director is amazing. The food is about a four out of five stars. From our understanding it is not bad at all, and the food is always served on time. The rooms are great, it is an older place so the apartments are larger than what you would find at a more modern place. Some of the rooms have terraces that you can sit out on, and the place is also nicely landscaped.

I chose Pinegate because it provided all of the things that I was looking for in a facility at a cost that met my needs. They have many different options on apartments sizes, but all of them seem to be spacious. They have everything from efficiency apartments to 2 bedroom apartments. My favorite part about the community would be the freedom I have of coming and going. I would definitely recommend.

Staff very caring. Food so so. Excellent responsive to virus.

The staff have done well with the pandemic and keeping us safe. I have been here for 4 years and there is a lot to do.

The services are difficult with the coronavirus in effect. The staff is doing about as good as can be under the conditions.

We chose Forest pines because we needed 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and not many others had that. Also they allow us to have our cat and dog. The food is hit or miss. I would want others to know that they have done a great job taking care of us during COVID. They gave all of us call buttons so if anything happens they are able to assist. Our son called us and told us he is glad we are here because they are keeping us safe. He is always informed with what is going on inside the community. I would recommend Forest Pines.

Everything is fine.

We chose Durham Regent because they allow pets with the residents. Also, even though it is an older facility, it has been very well maintained. The room sizes are pretty spacious. We have had an issue with the food, my mom has dietary restrictions and every time she gets her food she has something she is not supposed to have. I have had to reach out to the staff numerous times, and it has not been fixed yet. I would recommend this community.

Great job

Caring. Try very hard to please but cut back on cleaning and bed changing. Overall pleasant living.

The workers have done everything possible to keep us safe and as comfortable as possible in this extremely difficult time. They do this with smiles and pleasant attitudes.

We need a qualified experienced chef. Better quality food (more variety). Very good employees and service. Good maintenance. We have had a very good manager, but corporate should provide more support to management.

Very good

I would tell my friends that it is a nice place for my loved one to live. It gives him the independence he needs but the convenience for him. The activities are a little light. I wish they had more activities for the residents. The activities include: bingo, crossword, cards, and light concerts in the back of the community.

We chose the Essex House for my parents because of the location and the cost. The apartment they have is sufficient, I would have liked to see them have more counter space in the kitchen. I have always had good relations with the staff members here. My favorite part about the community would be the friendliness of the staff members. They show a lot of concern for their residents. They do a good job of taking care of the residents and their needs.

I liked The Manor at Woodside very much.

We originally chose The Manor at Woodside because of the location, it was very clean, and just what my mother in law needed. The room sizes are good for one person, she adjusted well. She really likes the food. One issue we have had is we signed a lease that restricted the next years rent to 4% and they charged 6%. Every time I try to call, no one calls me back. During these challenging times they have done a good job so I would recommend this community.

I would tell them I would recommend it. My loved one is happy, and you can't ask for more than that. Prior to COVID they had bingo and cards as activities. The room was fine for my loved one, and they did have different options available for rooms.

Made many new friends in 5 years. Great way to retire. Three meals every day.

We chose White Oaks because it was all inclusive. The studio I saw was a good size for one person. The food was pretty good, they have a daily menu with choices. My favorite part about this community would be the staff members, they are attentive and they know all of the residents. I would recommend.
