Review for Smoky Springs by Barclay House

My parents lived in a 1st floor 2 bedroom with outside access and patio. It was a beautiful layout with plenty of room. The food and service were terrific. [name removed] is so kind and upbeat with all the residents. Even visited my father when he was in the hospital. I highly recommend Smokey Springs! We only had to move to receive more care (nursing home).

Small, dirty, and no one seemed independent. The rental agent came in late. So many residents in wheelchairs. Outside of the building had broken cement path, messy windows, and mold. Very few trees or flowers. My Father and I walked around and saw no outdoor activities, nor indoor activities. A male resident showed us his studio, and it held a chair and a television. When the rental agent came in late, we left.

I toured here 2 years ago when my wife started working here. The residents were always friendly however, there weren’t that many. After returning this week I am impressed with all the positive changes cosmetically in the community. [name removed] loves her Community Sales job and she loves the residents and they love her. The physical changes in the last 3 months to the community is a testament to the staff and QSLM leadership. The new renovations are very nice, the floral arrangements are beautiful and everyone points out all the great changes. I’m very pleased to see my senior friends who are happily thriving at the community. The GM [name removed] has brought a fresh perspective to an already amazing community! I highly recommend visiting Smoky Springs.

A great place to live

I visited with my mom recently and I was wowed by the friendliness & the warmth at Smoky Springs. From the moment I entered I was taken greeted by happy friendly staff and residents who went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. After meeting with the sales manager, [name removed], we began our tour and from floor to floor, she knew every resident by name! The whole time people were calling her name and saying hello. She’s truly loved by the residents and staff. After meeting the General Manager [name removed], I to move in myself!! The menu was carefully laid out, the lunch was delicious & real napkins were such a nice touch. All the amenities were outstanding, all the staff was friendly and happy to help in any way. It was truly an amazing community. [name removed]introduced us to the office Manager, [name removed], Maintenance Director, [names removed] Activities Director and everyone was so friendly and helpful. The new renovations were beautiful & my mom will be moving very soon!

The facility seems nice, but we went through A Place For Mom. They supposedly scheduled our tour but no one knew we were coming. The pricing quoted by A Place For Mom was not correct. Unfortunately they do not work with and government assistance and are not as affordable as we thought.

very happy overall

I would rate a 5 for each. We have been very happy with Smoky Springs and have zero complaints!! The staff is very helpful and accommodating. They are all friendly and willing to help whenever needed! The room size is good for 1-2 people. The food is delicious and they offer many different activities. They have a shuttle that will take residents where they need to go as well.

Perfectly Content and Loving Life

Smoky Springs is a welcoming and happy community. It's my home away from home. I would give all the stars for happiness & healthy residents. I have enjoyed every day safely, comfortable, inviting community, the activities are fantastic. The resiliency of the staff to go above and beyond is unlike any other. I have enjoyed the dubious honor of being a resident here. The staff does not put things off, they take care of whatever need or issue immediately with grace, understanding and compassion. I live my best life here with a staff and community that support and gratefulness.

I can’t say enough upon entering Smoky Springs. It was bright, happy and inviting. [name removed]the Sales Manager, greeted us with a huge smile and a positive outlook on life. She’s a refreshing presence! She introduced us to the General Manager who was very busy, yet took time to greet and welcome us into Smoky Springs. We had an amazing lunch with outstanding people. The residents at Smoky Springs are REALLY happy. It’s so nice to see people loving people. The apartments were clean and neat! The housekeepers were on point. I did not like the outdated cabinets in most of the apartments. [name removed]was happy to help. She showed us a few that had been renovated and we loved the new white cabinets. Those are classic and stylist instead of 1985 looking farm style. Overall even with the cabinets, this place is wonderful. The staff is friendly and I very much believe that they love their residents. A lot of people say it, I believe the staff at Smoky. The food was excellent as well! 10 ??
