Sonida Senior Living

Mom knew as soon as she walked into this community that she wasn't going to like it here. There was a hospital sterile odor in the air and that just turned mom completely off. The community was very nice it has just gone through a remodel so everything was new and clean.

This is an older community and they have made some renovations to it. The people I met were nice and knowledgable. The community did look clean. We did not think this community was the right fit for my loved one.

My mom is enjoying everything here except the food she says it is not good. She has settled in well and doing fine. She is going to the activities and social hours they offer. We have found it to the clean and nice community. The staff is friendly and kind very helpful.

It is extremely sad when your loved ones personal things keep disappearing and no one can explain why. I have had to replace 3 pillows that disappear off my husband wheelchair and the staff can't give me a straight answer as to where they go. I have had to track down my husband hearing aides because they too disappeared. I feel that right now that they are extremely under staffed which tends to bring not so pleasant attitudes. They could offer more activities instead of putting the residents in the dining hall area and letting them sleep in the wheelchairs. The food seems good however the portions are much too large. The facility itself is clean and doesn't have an odor to it like most places. it's smaller and more personable or that is the way it should be.

I've been looking for a community for my mom since last October and I was speaking with the sales director, [Removed], for about a year. We toured the community a few times with mom and we even tried the food, which was fantastic. My mom was not ready to commit to moving in but [Removed] was very patient and always thought about us. She even brought over a meal to my mom's house. She was very kind and sweet. Recently, mom had some minor set backs and is ready for the move. However, when I call the Wellington to check their availability, they told me that [Removed] is no longer there and I was treated and spoken to very rudely. We are considering are second option instead.

I had a tour set up and when I went to the community I saw that they were too dark and I had a feeling that it wasn't a fit. The darkness stood out to me. It was a good tour and they gave me good information about the community.

My mother has recently moved into this community and so far things are going well for her. The staff are always very polite and accommodate her needs at the best of there ability. They a have a lovely activity program that she likes to participate from time to time with the other residents to keep her busy. The only thing that she says could use some improvement is the meals they serve. She is not happy about them at all and hopes to see some change in the kitchen soon.

rent was 2500-2700 but care was about a grand on top of that did not take medicare

Expensive.Assisted Living services extra. Not for us.

We had a decent tour of this community overall. However we didn't notice much activities around the community. The staff was okay for the most part. Our tour was decent, but we didn't feel this was the right community for my father in law.

We doing ok since moving into the community. Since it is close to home it I feel better and like the area.

While Vista Springs was a nice facility and the rooms were nice, we didn't get the same feeling here that the process was about the family or the future resident. This was off putting. It is also on the higher end of the price range.

My father is doing well since his move, he is still adjusting. He likes the meals that are served there, but they do not have a good variety of activities like I was hoping for. The place is kept up well and housekeeping keeps my father's apartment clean.

People were fabulous, not the cleanest of places, rooms need maintenance before moving in.

They have a lot of turnover with the staff at his community. The staff that have been there a long time are really good. The new nurse is sweet. The director and I do not always see eye to eye. They told us they had transportation for people in wheelchairs, however I found out later they do not. They do offer daily activities.The food is good, unfortunately they do not offer a lot of fruits and vegetables. I would recommend this community.

It has been a work in progress for my mother since her move to this community. Things have gotten better now overall. It was a ruff start at first, but they have picked up a lot of the slack. This is community is working out well for my mother, and her needs so far.

This is a nice community. The staff are caring. They do need improvemtns with the meals that are offered. They do have activities for the residents who want to particpate. The community appeared to be clean. We would recommend that other families tour this community for the care of a loved one.

From what my mom saw she was not impressed with the community. The person who gave the tour stopped being open as soon as she heard mom wanting to see another facility. I noticed that the residents that we meet and saw were happy and super welcoming. I didn't see this at the other tours.

My mother move here about a month ago and we are still adjusting to assisted living.My mother has not been on medication for 2 years.She was seeing a primary doctor and since we have switched her to the doctor at the community they want to put her on medication and I do not agree with that. They could also improve their communication. I'll tell one nurse something and they will be in agreement with me but will not inform the next shift coming in and the issue will continue. I don't like a lot of people being in my mom's room and they seem to have people coming in all the time.I was told that they are required to change her sheets and empty her trash every shift. I don't believe this is necessary for someone who has family that visits as often as I do. My mother is also very independent and can clean her own sheets.They came in at 7:30 in the morning to check her blood sugar and she hadn't fully waken up, gotten showered or dressed.I understand they have to test before she eats but they could have been more considerate. My mother has finally started locking her door so they can't come in all the time. Anything that goes on with my mother medically I want to be there. I asked if they could order me a meter so I can monitor her blood sugar myself. It sat on her fridge for 5 days and I didn't know it was there. I've also had issues with the price changing. They added an additional $450 dollars for my mother's "level of care", her care hasn't changed since moving in a month ago.They could improve the food also. Sometimes for breakfast they offer things like waffles and they ask my mother is she wants them she'll say yes then she won't eat them. I've told them to listen to me and just give her cornflakes because I know she will eat them. I will say other than those issues the place is nice. Everyone loves my mother she's always dancing.

We were pleased with this community until it was taken over by a new owners. The food was good and the community is clean. They made numerous changes including with the staff. Some of the memory care residents had to leave as the new owner's said they did not have the resources to care for them properly. They changed the way you could enter into the community which caused some issues with myself as I had to walk farther to my loved ones room. The caregivers were not always quick to respond.
