Village Place is wonderful

The staff has been exceptional towards my family and most importantly my father. As my father has no immediate family living in Florida the administration there has provided necessary accommodations to make him comfortable until we can visit and fulfill our responsibilities. They are truly working "from the heart" to make him accepted and happy. His greatest hidden concerns were to have assistance with personal hygiene and daily dressing. They have provided him with comfort and compassion. There is not one person on staff that I would replace. Everyone of them have surpassed normal anticipation. Some have provided their own personal time and funding to assist in his startup needs and have refused reimbursement from my family. Unfortunately they are understaffed. However they are undertaking a campaign to hire additional personnel . The uniqueness of their floor plans which provide individual communities really makes it homelike or like having their own neighborhood. The meals have been better than average and plentiful. Parking for visitors is poor as availability is six parking spots.

Mom hasn't been at Legacy at Bear Creek very long. In the time she has been here I would say they could definitely improve on the food. It doesn't even look. The snacks provided are not very healthy. I would like to see some fruit at least offered. The kitchen staff is very friendly friendly though. They deliver the food to moms room which I really appreciate.

Nice place, overall

In general I think they do a good job at Village Place Retirement. It is a clean, nice looking facility, and I like that it is all on one level. The staff here is friendly, and they do a good job looking out for the people who live here. They provide a few different levels of assistance, and my loved one is in their assisted living wing. I will say that I was a little disappointed that each section doesn't have a designated caregiver, they usually have to cover two or three areas which makes me worry a bit.

Working well so far

I think so far things have gone well for my loved one at Standiford Place. It is a nice looking, clean, well kept community, and the staff have been friendly and accommodating. It is primarily an independent living community, but they do have an on-site aide service you can hire, and they have been doing a good job seeing to my loved one's needs.

exceptional

The managers at Fig Garden are very friendly and a part of the community. The staff also is really very exceptional. The food is great as well. If there is anything where they might could improve it would be to have a little more staff on hand. The staff they have are all great, but they do seem to be stretched thin. They do a great job with what they have though and overall it has really been a great experience.

Nice place overall, move-in process could use some work

Overall I think things have gone well with Village Place Retirement. It's a nice looking, well kept facility, and the staff have all been very friendly. My loved one is enjoying himself and settling in well, and I would definitely recommend the place to others looking into senior living. My one suggestion would be that they could definitely work on making the move-in process smoother. I don't feel like the billing or medication services were explained well to me at all, it was somewhat of an ordeal.

More or less happy

More or less happy with Merrill Gardens, super clean, staff very friendly. They need to follow up with certain procedures such as assisting with bathing and objectives in general. The food is good and my mom seems happy. The facility is very clean and I would recommend them.

Overall its good

The overall experience has been good, they were very helpful in the transition into the community. It is very clean they are always updating the paint and rooms. There has not been a tremendous amount of support as of yet, but that might be coming. The food is very good, my parents say they are eating more than they would if they cooked for themselves. Transportation is available for them, my mom still drives when needed.

A Wonderful New Home

I love this place! There is so much to do & everyone is friendly & loving. The age range is quite varied as well, which I enjoy. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is the food. Not very good.
