Sonida Senior Living

Independent Living sounds like what we need right now. Looks nice, but far away.

The place had water damage from broken pipes when I moved my mother in but her room was nice and clean and fresh. Loved the high ceilings and large window with the view of the courtyard. The staff is always willing to help. They do seem to take longer than normal to respond to the alarms from the residents, but it is most likely do to the level of care some require. I think more encouragement from the staff to participate in activities would be helpful for new people to become more comfortable with the surroundings. The food is better than the last place my mother was residing Parking in front is an issue but most of the residents live in back anyway.

Overall I think they're doing a good job here. It's a nice looking place, and the staff have always been very friendly and caring. They try very hard to keep it clean, but unfortunately due to the care needs of some of the residents there always seems to be an odor. We've also had some issues with laundry mix-ups, where my loved one has had others peoples clothes placed in his closet, and a few items of his have been misplaced. I would also like to see more in terms of the activities, I don't feel like they've got much going on.

We're so glad we found this place, my loved one is doing great here! The amount of care you get for the price is fabulous, and I like that there is only one level of extra care to pay for, as opposed to the communities that charge for every service a la carte.

Very friendly staff and good tour. Liked the layout open circular pattern of the Memory care unit. Only concern would be the shared restroom.

The food is not always the best. We have eaten there several times and it seems like it's ok, but she has to eat there all the time. The quality and service is sometimes lacking. The value and the friendliness is what stands out about them to us.

The facility is newer and beautiful. Apts. are roomy. Common areas are always clean. Apts. are cleaned daily, but not always attention to detail in cleaning apts. Big difference between IL staff and AL. There are fewer activities offered in AL than IL. Concierge in AL can be standoffish and not helpful, while IL concierge is friendly and helpful. Dining room offers a nice rotation of menus. Overall, I feel my parent is safe and cared for, but there are glitches in the system that keep it from being great.

There are a couple of caregivers that aren't as nice and some that are really nice. The food is good. The one thing is we would have liked a little more guidence in other services. We were given the name of the home health service they use, but we didn't even know what to ask and our idea of what they would do was not clear either. They are in a convenient location. He has the ability to be private but he is able to be social if he wants to. They will let out of town family rent an apartment when they visit. You have to pay for it but it's not very expensive.

We now have my mother in law at the Wellington. We feel it is a very nice and friendly place. Cost wise We feel it is a good value for the money knowing all are expensive. They were very helpful with helping us find a good mover. Also, moving day everyone was friendly and helpful. Since moving in they have had some one come to check to see how my Mother in law was doing or going with her to meals. I would recommend the Wellington.

very nice facility - would have been our second choice.

Very nice, much of what I'm looking for. Friendly staff. Many activities scheduled, but I didn't see much going on. Had the types of living quarters suitable for my aunt's needs at this time.Next time I'll schedule the visit and have the checklist because there were several questions I should have asked.

Really nice, just farther away from me. They were very friendly. They were doing a complete renovation, so it was nice when we visited, but now it is probably nicer. The rooms were pretty, a little bigger than the other two that we saw. I know that they had a lot of activities but when I was there they were eating lunch.

People great. Aviary. C's mil lives there. Mercedes' mom is an administrator. Coffee cups out in courtyard, which was bleak. Not a lot of trees around despite name. Room is a perfect size. Bathroom is set up for a wheel chair and the bathroom fan was super loud.

Very nice;clean-top of our list

The building was larger, and the cost was way more than most of the other communities that we looked at. It was really nice, but just out of our budget. They did offer three meals a day, which is probably why it was so expensive.

I though that was a good place. The setting wasn't quite what we were looking for but the care seemed to be good.

This community was really really nice but also really expensive. If we had had the money, honestly, my parents probably would have moved here.

Wilderness theme. Very nice place with good options for Catholic prayer and Mass attendance. New units. Lots of social activity. Breakfast daily included In rent. Meal options available. Don't have to move to be placed in assisted living.

Enjoyed our tour and had lunch with one of the residents. Mom really enjoyed her visit but felt the rooms were a bit smaller. Very gracious and followed up with me.

We've had a pretyt good experience over there, mom just said that she loves living over there, she loves her apartment. It's actually one of the bigger ones there, it has a private balcony, 2 bedrooms and she really needed the closet space so she's really happy with that. I know when we moved in, I complained about the community fee but as soon as I even mentioned it they waived it. She likes the food, apparently that's a big deal when I started looking at other places, I don't have anything to compare them to, but it sounds like we found a pretty good place. Anything I had to deal with, they were fine. Mom had to go to the hospital a couple of weeks ago, I was actually on vacation, she had this numbness and called 911 and went to the hospital. One of the ladies at Waterford called me telling me what was going on and that was very helpful because mom had forgotten her phone of course so I was able to track her down. I think the only complaint was that some of the people didn't know what had happened to her so when they didn't see her at dinner they were asking about her but I'm not sure that's their responsibility to tell them what happened. This has just been a learning experience because I had nothing to compare it to, it was really a difficult search, but I have been real pleased and if she doesn't show up for one of the meals, even if she hasn't said anything, they come by and check on her.
