Priority Life Care

I have been living here for 14 years. During this time I have seen a lot of changes. The Pines has a bright and cheerful environment....feels comfortable...just like home. There are lots of activities and outings that are planned during the year. Just a few weeks ago, we were treated to a baseball game and provided with a free lunch by our sponsors for the day Trinitas Christian School. Great fun. I have been making stuffed bears with donated fabric along with other residents for the past 10 years. We donate these bears to a local children's hospital so that when a child has to go to the hospital, they may be comforted with a new toy. I also play hand bells with a number of other residents and sometimes we go to other retirement homes on the provided transportation and play for them. Some other activities are Bocce Ball and exercise with [name removed]. Oh, and don't forget bingo. If you need to go to a doctor's appointment or some shopping near by, you can arrange it with [name removed], our bus driver. It's a great place to live.

My mother was in this facility for two years and she would still be there if the management hadn’t decided to remove the managers from the premises leaving no security at night. The administration and nurses worked with me to keep my mother there as long as possible and helped in every possible way to find solutions to her deteriorating health issues. I would like to thank the staff for their caring and exemplary kindnesses to my mother and our family. My only wish is that the facility had an assisted living wing. Thank you so much The [names removed] families

Elmcroft has been the best place for Mom. She is very happy there and the atmosphere is that of a happy family. Staff is very caring and responsive. Thank you for your loving care of our Mom!

I really appreciate on all the help that their staff has given me.[Removed], the health and wellness coordinator is very responsive. When I email the nursing staff, I usually receive a quick response. They always give me updates concerning my loved one’s appointments and anything going on during the day that they feel they should let me know about. In the main office, the resident coordinator and office staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. I feel like they were willing to work with us getting everything coordinated with my loved one’s personal doctor and were very helpful with the transition. The dining experience is top notch. There is a culinary institute in their kitchen so the food is fantastic. When I went to visit my loved one they were nice about me eating with him in the facility. There are lots of options on their menu that changes daily. There are at least 3-4 options for the main entrees and 3 different desserts on the menu each day. They are very good with their cleanliness too. Their main club house area is pretty nice. They provide entertainment, art and craft activities, and musicians come in and plays for the residents. One factor that really helped us decide with this location is the friendliness of the other residents. They love it there and hearing it from their perspective on the facility definitely helped.

I toured Magnolias while looking for living options for my husband. It seemed like a good community, and one that I could have chosen. The staff appeared very involved and patient. There were two factors in my decision to choose another location: The first was location--a bit farther to drive than our first choice. The second factor was access to enter the community. The outside door is locked and response to the door buzzer was slow--may not be a continual problem, but the first impression was a bit troublesome.

Mom is settling in and is enjoying the activities. They are having some help issues in the kitchen so the food is not always the best. The staff are very nice and willing to help. The new administrator is awesome. The community has beautifully kept grounds and the building is well maintained. They have call buttons for the residents. There is no one on site in the evening. I would recommend this community.

This is a beautiful community. The staff I met were friendly and helpful. This community does have a smaller community for dementia and alzheimer's care. We would have chosen this community if they would of had an opening.

We toured this community. We liked the staff. The community seemed small and we did not want a second floor for my mom. The menu seemed appealing. And the list of the activities would been helpful for my mom. Families should consider a tour of this community for the care of a loved one

Everything is going great so far! The staff are very attentive and the facility is kept clean and safe. There are also great activities to join in on. Though the meals leave something to be desired, my loved one says that they are okay.

This is a nice community, and my mother is doing well with her move here. They have nice staff at this community, they have been very friendly. I know she is safe, and in good hands at this community. They do a great job with keeping everything nice, and clean. This is a community I would recommend, it is working out well for us.

We moved my father-in-law into this community. He had a short experience but they were very nice and they were good with what they provided for my dad.

When my sister and I toured this Brookdale, we absolutely loved it. It was beautiful but it was also $2000 more a month than other places. Also, my mother did not need Memory care yet, so we chose a different Brookdale.

The staff was great here and they were very kind and helpful. The community was very pleasant from what we saw and it was clean and neat. We just did not like that mom would not be able to get many visitors in this location.

The Bridges at Warwick is a brand new facility & absolutely gorgeous! They have nursing staff 24/7 which is very important as well as a doctor that sees patients weekly. They have plenty of fun activities but some of them have been a little disorganized so far. I think this is because they are new & are hoping this will get better in time. The food is ok (basic American cuisine) but there are several options to choose from at every meal. Everyone on the staff is so welcoming and friendly. We feel confident knowing that our loved one is well cared for here.

My husband has been living here for several months and I am very pleased with this location. He is very happy here as well. Everyone on the staff is so caring, yet professional and very concerned about each person living here. The food is excellent and is served in a lovely dining room. It is extremely well maintained and clean in all areas. For anyone looking to leave their home and downsize, or simply want to live a more relaxed comfortable lifestyle, this is a wonderful choice. There are numerous planned activities daily as well as shopping trips and transportation to Doctor's appointment. Be sure to add them to your list of places to visit. You won't be disappointed.

My mother is receiving healthy proportioned meals. She has been engaging a lot with the other residents in the community. So far, she absolutely loves this place the staff are all attentive and they have great communication with her and the family. One of my concerns is that the maintenance personal have been taking long trying to fix something that my mother has been needing.

My in-laws recently moved into University Pines and they love it there. The staff are very caring and helpful. Great place!!!

The director Sue and the tour guide Kim were very knowledgeable and helpful. They have a unique program called transitions for people with moderate to mild dementia. They have a great exercise program which includes a small exercise room run by Fox rehabilitation. I met the chef and I have heard that the food is good. I would have moved my dad here if it was completed when he needed to move.

My dad has been at Brookdale just over a month and has adjusted very well. The staff is very attentive to his needs, and to the needs of the family members who are sometimes more than his. It is a hard decision when realizing that the best thing for a parent it not to have them at home and them finding a place that you trust to care for them. Nurses, doctors, techs and activity directors have all taken the time to learn about him and take time to understand his needs and his interests. They are also sensitive to his needs and to our needs and do not hesitates to involve us when needed or let us be involved when we need it. Do we want him at home, yes. Is that what is best for everyone, no. He is where he needs to be and he does seem to be happy. He is still very important and they work with us to let him know that each and every day.

I had nearly lost hope in the entire health care system for seniors, then I had the good fortune to meet the folks at Elmcroft of Chippewa! The "situation" for both of my parents was a bit complicated, but the staff at Elmcroft worked with us to find solutions to all of "the issues". They truly understand the issues associated with dementia and aging, and they CARE about their residents & the families of the residents.
