Spectrum Retirement

Our family had an in person tour and we liked the location, it is in a good spot and close to home. However we did not feel it was as mature or advanced in memory care for what we were wanting. Maybe it was because the person who gave the tour was not as knowledgeable when it came to memory care, or what but we just did not get that overwhelming feeling that this was the place. The people we did meet with other than the tour guide were all extremely friendly and welcoming.

We chose Green Oaks because when we walked in we got an overall nice feeling. It felt more like a hotel rather than being institutional like some places. It was also very clean. I do feel that they can improve on the move in process, I think they need to be a little more organized on that. I would recommend them to others and already have to some close friends.

Our loved one is enjoying the meal selection they have, and they do have a huge variety of activities which is nice. We like that it is a newer facility, it is updated, contemporary, very bright, clean and welcoming.

I would give a recommendation for someone to come and move to this community. The staff are pretty good and I speak with them often. They communicate well and keep a good relationship with open communication.

Our family had an in person tour and the tour was fine, the staff seemed to be fine, but it did not feel that it was the best for our mom at the time.

Our loved one is still adjusting so they have not taken advantage of the activities or the dining service, but the rehab she has been doing is fantastic. The value for cost is excellent and we would recommend to others.

I've been recommending them to our other family members, which really says something. It's conveniently located for us. It's clean. I think once they get through Covid they'll be able to rectify some of the staffing issues. They've particularly been having issues retaining cooks, and my loved ones are unhappy with the food as is.

This is a fantastic place outside of the memory care floor. The memory care area has movies, exercises, treats, and more activities for the residents to participate in. The staff is okay to work with. It has been nice to see the same caregivers to get to know them better.

My mom really liked Lincoln Meadows. The apartment was perfect, except it didn’t have central air. It had a wall unit instead, like they have in hotel rooms. The wall unit was big and noisy, and she didn't want to live with that. It was also a huge place that would have involved lots of walking, which was not ideal for her to get around in her condition at the time. But she liked everything else about it.

The meals and dining service sometimes can be a hit or miss but the activities are great. We love the bistro area where families are always encouraged to come and visit and we can play little games. For the holidays they decorated the facility beautifully. There are two care givers specifically [name removed] and [name removed] who are just outstanding, we have really bonded with them. The entertainment ladies are fantastic and so is the physical therapy team. We do have some issues with the billing team but we do believe they are working it out. The entire staff and community is just very warm and inviting.

Our family was able to have an in person tour and we lived at the time very close to the community, and it was brand new. The community and everything we were able to see was very nice.

We chose Gardens because of the convenient location, the value for the money was pretty good comparing to others in the area, and I liked the layout of the facility. My loved one got a smaller apartment than she was supposed to get which was disappointing. I do think they could improve on the activities provided for residents, they are taking all of the covid precautions but there do not seem to be many things going on. There did seem to be a lot of things going on before covid. My mom loves the food and is really enjoying the meals. Overall I would recommend to others looking.

We had a virtual tour at HighPointe. From what we could see, it looked good. The downside with them was cost.

Our move in and onboarding process went very smooth and we have had a good experience so far. Our first impression of the community is since its newer it is very clean. They have things in place socially for those that are living there, many different activities. Initially when our loved one first moved in the meals and dining service was outstanding, but with the staff turnover that has suffered some.

I was not impressed with the set up of this community and the way that the residents were housed. It looked like a nursing home and I wanted different for my loved one.

We chose Green Oaks because the tour experience was great, we got a good feeling and liked the atmosphere, and the apartments were much roomier than other places that we looked into. It is also more reasonably priced for what you get. She is happy as a clam and is always busy doing activities with her friends. I would definitely recommend them to others.

We chose Dougherty Ferry because it just seemed like the right fit compared to the other facilities that we looked into. They do have some very caring staff members, a couple really stand out to us. There are some hidden things that you find out once you move in such as how medical things are handled and you do have to supply some things yourself.

We had a really good overall experience with the tour. [Name removed] was perfect. [She] was quite knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We believe budget-wise this is not a fit for us. Thanks for the experience.

Overall it's been a really good experience. It's a good price for what you get. The staff are really good. Like any other place right now, they need to hire more people. But that's outside of their control with the current Covid challenges.

My mother has been a resident for about 3 months. I like that they keep the place clean. The accommodations are nice and the staff is responsive to requests. I wish the food was a little healthy. Activity schedule looks robust-not sure if they always occur.
