Senior Lifestyle - Main

It isn't the cheapest but it is for sure worth it. it is a great place to go if you can afford for your loved one to go there. The staff are very courteous, friendly, caring and competent. Nothing but good so far.

I would recommend the community to others without hesitation. I feel comfortable with my friend being in the community. If something were to go wrong the staff and community would let me know immediately.

A close family member of mine is in the assisted living facility here. I feel that he’s been getting compassionate and attentive care from the staff, and it’s helped him get through the physical and mental challenges he’s faced since the injury that caused him to need this support. The pandemic has made it extremely difficult to have a clear day-to-day view of his life, but from everything I can see, this has been a good place for him to be.

My loved one likes to participate in chair yoga. This community is in a great location. The people seem to be pretty nice and it is really cute.

My mother has been here at Memory Care and we couldn't be happier. My mom looks like a different person than when we brought her here. We attribute that to the wonderful staff here. To say everyone is awesome would be an understatement!

This community is great. The staff and community explained everything to me during the move in process and helped during this transition. I was thrilled when they helped resolved some things that arose during the first few days of move in. The staff love my loved one.

The Addington Place campus is truly beautiful. It's impeccably clean and well maintained. But the truly great and incredible part is the compassionate, caring, and unbelievably dedicated and professional staff.

We chose The Club at Briarcliff because the facility itself is beautiful and everyone I talked to was very knowledgeable and caring, they were really interested in making a good home for my mom. It is in a safe, quiet location. The staff who run the activities are amazing. The room size is adequate for what she needs, she is in a private room. but they are not in the rooms a lot, they want the residents to engage. I would definitely recommend to others looking.

It was a beautiful and large community. We felt that it was little too fancy for my loved one, as they wouldn't have taken advantage of all the amenities.

We really liked Aspire at West End, it is a nice facility. The only issue was it is strictly independent living and we were looked for something that had assisted living.

We chose Canfield place because of the convenient location to family and it seemed like a good facility that had a better value than some others. The room size is fine for one person and what he needs. I would recommend to others looking.

[name removed] was wonderful. She made me feel very welcome and relaxed. The residents I met during my tour were so kind, warm and friendly. The place has a very joyful feel to it, a real caring community. The living quarters were very spacious and the amenities were amazing! I will definitely be considering Lake Barrington Woods as one of my future homes.

The staff are very, very nice here, and very helpful. Generally the food is good, and they give you a choice if you don't like what's on the menu. Sometimes the food is cold, but I understand that they have a lot of people to take care of delivering food to the rooms during Covid times. I'm looking forward to when the dining room reopens. They have plenty of activities for you to do every day if you choose to. They have a pool here, and I enjoy water aerobics, bingo, and the live entertainment they bring in. Really overall, it's a very good place. Otherwise I wouldn't be here. I feel like the cost is reasonable and worth it, to receive meals and to have help available during emergency situations. There are probably places that are cheaper, but they might not have the same amenities and services. If you voice your concerns, they listen and help you. Nothing is perfect, but I am very happy here.

They have plenty of activities provided for residents to participate in. I checked out a few places and this was definitely the best one out of all of them. It is a good facility, everyone is friendly and she is happy. I would definitely recommend to others looking.

We chose Park Creek Place because of the location as well as when meeting with staff, I had a better feeling after talking to them. The room sizes at the facility were adequate for what he needed. We were only here a brief period of time but they were extremely compassionate and dedicated until my dads passing. I would recommend to others looking.

Location is still very good (more like a 15 minute drive) but amenities are really strong - the coffee shop in particular is a really nice feature and something that my mother would love. The dining options, activities, and overall facilities condition are all great. Also, I think that, because of the size of the studios, these might actually be an option for my mom and also might be easier to navigate without the additional walls/doors. I did read a few comments that the care was inconsistent and that a few people had felt the need to bring in outside help in addition to the onsite care. Do you have any thoughts on how I should interpret that feedback?

My husband [name removed] and I met with Beth Verity today at 2:30 to discuss the possibility of my dad moving here. It was very informative and we liked the beautiful facility and friendly staff. We learned that Maine makes it easy to transition from private pay to Maine's Medicaid program. I was told that New Hampshire would not allow my dad to apply for Medicaid in their state because he would be coming from massachusetts. So now I think it's wiser for me to place dad in a Maine facility. Sentry Hill is less than 10 minutes from my house and I am frequently in that area, so it would be very convenient for me. I am visiting Evolve at Rye (in New Hampshire) tomorrow, so I will compare it with today's visit to Sentry Hill but I am thinking it's better for dad to come to Maine.

It is a nice place. It is working out fine for my loved one. The best thing about the community is that things seem to be running well. We wish there were more outdoor setting areas for residents and families that visit.

It can seem expensive, I wish they took Medicaid and they don't. This is something you need to think about. The staff are wonderful. It is great to know that our loved one is taken care of. The staff keeps us updated about our loved one. There are a lot of activities for the resident to participate in. The community was with hospice.

Overall I have a good impression. Cleanliness is good. One concern has been the weekend staff across the board. There's just not enough of them, and they tend to be less responsive. The weekly staff overall has been good. They're caring and work closely with my loved one. So the care he receives has been good. The food is good, but I was concerned about the portion size. One day I saw lunch was a small piece of pizza and four onion rings, and then he was offered a piece of pecan pie, which didn't seem like a really balanced meal. But I would recommend this community to others.
