Spectrum Retirement

My in-laws needed to move to assisted living. Using the checklists and recommendations from APFM, I visited five facilities, some recommended and one not. Palos Verdes Senior Living was by far the best place for them. It is a home where the staff is warm, welcoming, helpful, kind, and family. They love where they are and who they are with each day. Every member of this extended family has made them feel welcome and cared about.

My wife is a resident at Cedar Lake Memory Care in Lake Zurich Illinois. The staff and caretakers do a great job in keeping the residents involved and as active as they can be. It's a comfort to know that she is in a safe environment and safe.

Each category would be a 5. Westview is small enough to make the experience personalized and large enough to offer options in terms of dining , activities and programming. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place for a loved one.

After many years of good Arizona independent living, I've now found my niche at Las Palomas. I've been here 5 weeks now and it's all that I anticipated it would be and more. Beautiful balcony apartment home and super activities - tai-chi, line dancing, water aerobics, concerts, shopping trips, choir, conversational Spanish, just to name a few.

My Mom is 93 and still very independent and active. She moved to Las Palomas because of the activities and nice amenities that they offer. The activities are led by trained professional who not only know, understand and care for the activities they lead, but they are all very conscientious of the residents abilities and kind in their instruction. Every employee I have met have been very considerate and gone above and beyond to answer all questions and meet the needs of the residents. My Mom is very happy there and they have made her feel very welcome and given my family peace of mind in my Mom's safety and security. Wonderful place for Mom.

Activities personnel, [name removed], [name removed], [name removed] and [name removed] have been outstanding. They helped me get through the last few months. The activities they plan are interesting and enjoyable and help to keep Dougherty Ferry AL a vibrant community .

We have lived in two other similar facilities here in this basic area. This is by far the best senior facility ever! Everyone here is very friendly, the staff & all the other seniors living here included. There is so much to do as [name removed](the activities director) comes up with a variety of classes & excursions. [name removed] always takes her time with every new tenant & makes us feel so very welcome. [name removed] is the best manager we’ve had & both of these ladies are always out and about making sure everyone is doing ok. No question we have goes unanswered. The facilities are quite nice & very calming in the decor. We have a 2 bedroom apartment that fits our needs perfectly. Maintenance is very quick to respond to anything we need fixed. The front desk crew is also very helpful & alway there. We enjoy the food for the most part, but we always have the optiontional menu, the coffee is really great. The wait staff is very good & try to please everyone, which can’t be a very easy job with all us seniors.

Rigden Farm is an independent living lifestyle but I feel that they really look out for the residents. They make sure to have eyes on each and every resident every 24 hours. That makes me feel much more confident that my mother is being looked after even though she is independent. They do offer external extra help for residents and I will be taking advantage of them in the next couple of months since I notice a slow down in my mother over the last few months. The staff here take the time to know each residents name and use them. I find that very nice. It makes the residents feel more at home. We love the restaurant style dining room. Plus the 2 hour window for dining is so much nicer than a set time. My mother is feeling more and more at home here. Which we are grateful for.

My mom lived in an Independent Living Apartment for 1 1/2 years before needed to move to Assisted Living. She loves living here, the employees are very friendly and caring, the residents are warm and welcoming. She’s gone on outing with other residents, enjoys making crafts and loves the live entertainment. She’s always telling me that she did a new activity or had a meal with someone new. She loves her home.

It was nice to have the same group of aides come so we could get to know them and we would recommend Peakview Assisted Living and Memory Care to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is expensive but the residents are happy and active. The activities are somewhat redundant but there have been some great outings. I would definitely recommend Palmilla, Mom really likes it there. I do not have to worry about her as much.

What we like the most about The Enclave is that the staff and residents are friendly and helpful! Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.

From beginning to end the 9 months spent in this facility were all good. The meds were correctly administered, the nurses on duty were always available to answer questions or handle concerns. The aides were invariably patient and kind. The decor of the facility is light filled and attractive. Not the usual dark, old people looking place.

Friendliness of the staff is a 10, totally friendly, have to give them aces on that question! Dads a meat and potato guy, salmon and other items are not his thing, but he can always order a burger if the dinner menu for the day isn't appeasing to him. There's plenty of activities for him to do, but they are mostly all in the early am and he does not participate. Compared to other local places that feel like a funeral home price seems to be on hand. All the residents are friendly, not depressed or just sitting idle with a frown. Staff always calls him by his name. His cat is welcome which was a must have. Grounds are taken care of and when a maintenance issue needs attending they are on top of it. Although this wasn't the closest home from my home, I believe it's great and worth the 20 minute drive.

We really like the friendly staff at The Enclave and we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

There has been core employees who are excellent and constant but like all care facilities there is turn over. There has been an almost complete turn over of the activities staff. Overall, the variety and number of activities is still higher than other facilities.

Very nice and large setting. In and out. Staff are friendly and accommodating. My brother is in a studio apartment that is quite large with 2 good sized closets. A menu you can choose from or select to have the daily special. Several activities. Nice to have transportation to the grocery stores if you need to go. Housekeeping and laundry is a nice plus.

Very good experience w excellent staff and support personnel that are friendly, polite, and quick to address any concerns. Billing is clear, consistent and on-time. Wonderful apartment layouts with privacy. Excellent nursing care. Responsive CNA support. Meals and menu is well planned and served hot and with excellent service personnel. Activities are fun, well planned and actively attended by residents. Residents are friendly and welcoming. Residents have privacy and social balance as they want. Nice library with computer access. Rooms are comfortable with excellent temperature control. Excellent showers size w helpful grab bar placement. Nice closet design. Rooms are Very walkable/Walker/wheelchair access with excellent layouts for senior living. Very satisfied w Cedar Lake Assisted Living.

Great food, activities were good, very accepting and open people. Warm and friendly. Based on the experience we have had with Rigden Farm we would definitely recommend this community to other families who may need a place for their loved ones

Office staff is fab. Cooks seem 2b hard to find/ keep. Housekeeping should be better trained. Overall tho, it is probably better than most of this type of retirement living. I am making new friends, enjoying all the amenities, a fine place to spend an easy retirement, relaxing.
