Life Care Services LLC

Energetic residents, highest on list so far.

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for a loved one. This was a nice looking place, and it was definitely somewhere we would have considered. The staff we met on the tour were friendly and professional, and the facility itself seemed clean. However it wasn't at the top of our list, and wasn't the community we ended up selecting.

Mom, Doug, and Dee got a quick look 03/16/14.

My loved ones were at this community for a time, before a change in care needs necessitated a move. This is a very nice community for independent living, or for those who only need a small amount of assistance. It's a beautiful place, and the staff are friendly and helpful. However, once my parents started needing more help we had to start contracting with an outside service the facility uses for those with higher care needs, which ended up being very expensive. We eventually decided to move them somewhere more focused on assisted living, and closer to family.

Visited 3/4. Good potential. Duplex option. Costs at top of range, however.

This is a nice community overall, it is a beautiful place and the staff are all very friendly. They do a good job of keeping it up, and it is always clean. The only major issue we had was right when my parents moved in, I feel like the staff could have been a bit more sensitive to my parents moods and done a better job of easing them in to their new situation. They were trying to be friendly and integrate them into the community, but after having lived in a private residence for so many years my parents were overwhelmed by all the people coming to the door to welcome them and try to get them to participate in activities. I know they did it with the best of intentions, but it was a little much my parents right off of the bat.

I'm very happy with them. The food is a three. I would like to have the dress code changed for meals, the men have to wear suit jackets for the evening meal. I chose them for their friendliness, and the feeling of comfort and relaxation. I liked the size and layout of the apartment, and the security systems that are in place. The diversity of age groups is also nice, they seem to have a wider range of ages than others and more men here too.

It just wasn't set up for my mom - no memory care there. We had to get almost 24 hour care in addition to the assisted living, which was out of hand cost wise. I realized that Dad wanted to live a little closer to me, so we decided to move. It was very nice, nothing negative to say, just wasn't set up for my mom. The folks were very nice.

Presidential Place appears to be the best fit for my mom. Nurse and support staff seems attentive to needs. There are clean and spacious rooms. There is no walking area inside secure area, but side walk around building just outside the security gate where residences are allowed to walk in groups or with the activity director. The residence seems to be from multiple cultures which work well. We still have not committed as we will be looking at a few others not on the current list as well as in home care.

It is a beautiful location, right there there by the Mayo Clinic. A lot of people would pay just for that convenience. It's beautiful, but a little overpriced because the units are pretty small. My dad didn't like that. It is all in a 7 story tower, like a tower or something that you would see in the middle of a city. No surrounding grounds per se, and you have to ride elevators to get to each floor.

It seems to be the right compromise between price, service and requirements for our mother-in-law. She is in assisted living, and the food is great!

Best location and marvelous. We will plan a tour when my aunt can come in from East Texas to visit. The only drawback is it doesn't qualify for military wife supplement, as I understand it, which would make it perfect.

My aunt lived here and she seemed content in the assisted living. They offered a higher level of care if needed so that if one person needed to have more care they could still be together.

I was going to go to the Presidential. They wanted me to buy a bed and a dresser and pay $100 a month for diapers and you brought your own sheets. I didn't want to do that. I liked other than that. Really nice place.

I found the staff helpful and efficient. Since my mother has memory lapses, however, the support literature could be more specific and sequential for her use. She also does not like the telephone system. Over all, my mother seems quite pleased with the facilities, and especially the staff at Bellingham.

Beautiful! lovely staff nice grounds. no spanish speakers!!

The Glenview is a very nice CCRC located in Pelican Bay. The residents and staff appear friendly and welcoming. The community is nicely decorated and is always clean and well maintained. Unlike most CCRCs, the Glenview is a co-op that offers a percentage of equity when the residence is sold. It is a bit pricey, but does offer good value for those who can afford it.

This is a beautiful facility but it's much too large of a community for my mom. She wouldn't be able to get around very well.

Visited. Very beautiful. The Independent living would not work, as the waterway is right outside, and many places to walk to right out the door. Don't think the highrise would be a good fit for Dad.

We've had no problems so far. They have activities like games, trips, going out to eat, shopping, people that come in to speak and other entertainment. So far, things are going well.
