Sonida Senior Living

Overall this is a very nice assisted living facility. I will say that we are very disappointed that the facility does not have a vehicle with a lift for transportation to activity outings & doctor appointments. This is a senior living community with a population that requires a lift. Our mom has not been able to go out with the facility because she can’t walk up steps to get in the transportation van. The staff at the community are very friendly.

The Lodge at White Bear has everything I need all in one place. We are close to many stores and restaurants, and we can use our bus to get to anywhere we need to go. I enjoy eating my meals in the dining room and spend time with my neighbors during mealtime.

The meals are always delicious. Housekeeping staff does a great job cleaning moms' apartment. The whole staff is very attentive and caring. As far as activities, there is always something to do. My family and my mom are happy at the Waterford.

My father and I are absolutely thrilled with the Waterford! The staff are always so kind, friendly and encouraging, The Waterford facility is warm and welcoming, and dad's apartment is clean and inviting. There is a fabulous variety of fun activities! The administrators have been particular helpful in navigating the insurance process. We are so grateful to have discovered a home away from home for my dad. His health and happiness are priorities here and I have a wonderful peace knowing he is here!

I really enjoy getting to know the staff. The staff is always happy, and they know my preferences. I like the flexibility during the mealtime-we have the option to get a meal during a time frame. There is not just one set time for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I look forward to the Wednesday program, Interfaith Prayer & Devotions. I have the freedom to drive places and keep my car at The Waterford.

Mom has been living at the Waterford for a year now. The community is wonderful! My mom has everything she needs. There is a wide variety of fun activities that mom can participate in. The staff is incredible-they are nice and professional.

Brookview Meadows is a lovely and well maintained senior residence. The staff is caring and attentive. The dining staff strive to make dining a delicious experience. The residence offers a wide range of activities and events which promotes resident participation and of course socialization. All of the creates a sense of belonging and community.

The Lodge overlooks a pond and is adjacent to Wedgewood Park. Closeness to nature is at all staff are congenial and helpful. Three meal a day with plentiful choices are available for no additional charge. The facility is light with my large windows and a sky light above the a the atrium. Activities are abundant with music and seasonal parties. Weekly housekeeping is included.

We absolutely loved [name removed] and her wonderful demeanor! She truly made it a wonderful experience!! All of the residents are so warm and welcoming!

It's hard for your parent to be in a facility that is not home but Laurelwoods made the transition easier...mom even transitioned easily! The cleanliness is a 4....only because they have been undergoing renovations. housekeeping cleans rooms and washes clothes. Make sure to label clothes to help them if something does accidentally misplaced. Staff are great. Friendly....I see mom smiling when she interacts with them! There are some new staff that are learning and there is turnover but care is great! The staff are very responsive! [name removed] was great to work with for moms admission. Mom loves the food...has even gained weight! Cleans her plate! It's hard for this group but they go on rides to see the leaves, watch old tv programs/movies, popcorn, bingo, listen to oldies and dance even if sitting! Mom loves the large windows in the dining room....they watch the birds and squirrels. Also, the outdoor area is great to sit outside or walk when it's nice! There are several rooms/areas for them....nursery, old phone booth, music, workshop, pet shop, mail, and housekeeping for them to look and interact with....like at children's museum....all with appropriate items for them. I do wish it was not as costly but seeing mom being happy, comfortable and taken care of makes up for it! Please visit your loved one...it is so sad to see that residents don't have family visit. My mom was at another facility and Laurelwoods is the best!! The staff care about her and it shows!

The staff obviously spends time with [name removed]. They always have a personal story to tell about him whenever I come to see him. He is always in the activity room doing something fun. Singalongs, karaoke style, dancing, trivia games, making stuff, etc. They take him to the gym 3 times every week. They go on long outings. I have never heard a single complaint from the staff about Mike nor has he ever had a single complaint about them, or any other resident. And, believe me he usually loves to complain. He's made 2 very close friends there. Also, they have prayer services that he loves so much, even though, before moving there, he was a self-proclaimed atheist!

Everyone in the facility knew my mom and dad by name. When my mom passed away, everyone in the facility knew that she had passed away. The responsiveness anytime there is a question is extremely efficient. This place has been fabulous.

The type of people here are great conversationalist. I have a perfect unit to sit on my patio and see the deer! I love I can see all the way from my kitchen out to the woods. The open concept units are what I was looking for.

Pacifica in Pinehurst is a very clean inviting community. The staff truly care about and love their residents!

Great place for the money with good food. Staff is helpful. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

Can you stand one more compliment. Well done! My second month here and so very pleased with everything. The staff here are annoying this has been a wise move for me. Now, home new friends, a new chapter in my life.

Intake process went smoothly.

I’ve been starting to explore communities for my mother and recently visited the Waterford. I had a great tour and was very impressed. The residents seemed to be engaged and the staff were very nice. [name removed], the sales director, was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. It’s definitely at the top of my list.

The Waterford of Huebner is a facility that I would highly recommend for others looking for retirement living.

I moved from another facility the transition has been good.
