Spectrum Retirement

Gardens at Ocotilla Senior Living was a nice welcoming change, it does not feel like your typical nursing home. It is more homey feeling and more comfortable and welcoming.

In an attempt to find a senior living facility for our Mother we found Burr Ridge Senior Living. From the first time we showed up without an appointment we were met with the kindest staff. [name removed], the director even came in on a Sunday in July to meet us and spent several hours giving us a tour, information, and answered our questions. [name removed], the Director of Nursing is most caring and compassionate. We felt she wanted the best for our Mom. The entire staff were full of smiles and engaging. We knew this was the perfect place for Mom. I would highly recommend Burr Ridge Senior Living to my family and friends.

I would say that it is a very safe environment for memory care. I've not observed the other piece of it. Memory care is very safe and I'm very happy with it. The staff is terrific, they are very good at listening and helping you feel better when things aren't going very well.

The Enclave has a very safe environment for memory care and I am very happy with them. The staff are terrific, they are very good at listening and helping you fell better when things just are not going very well.

This is a very well kept community. It seems very safe. The staff is very friendly and helpful. My mom feels very comfortable here. I would highly recommend the community to others for their loved ones.

This is a very beautiful place. They have friendly service and keep it clean. The staff are kind and accommodating. They can be short staffed. The food seems good, and there are other entrees other than specials if the residents request it. The maintenance time for repairs could be improved.

The leadership and staff at Las Soleras provided a truly unexpected, outstanding experience regarding the arrangements to welcome my mother to Las Soleras. The Sales Director went beyond expectations to facilitate my mother’s residency. He found the necessary flexibilities to accommodate both my mother’s needs and her family’s needs. I truly wish we had discovered Las Soleras earlier! I highly recommend considering Las Soleras.

I really like Burr Ridge Senior Living. I have worked with [name removed] since April 2021. I am hoping my father will get well enough to live at Burr Ridge. My father is still too weak to move. We have to see if he will be eligible to move to the community.

Southview has a BEAUTIFUL environment -- dining rooms, common areas, etc. They have a personalized care plan to ensure you only pay for care you need. If the resident's needs change, the care plan changes, too. The features that I like the most are: chef-prepared meals with a very extensive menu--which is handed out to each resident; apartments in a variety of sizes; cable tv; a library with computers; a theater; walking paths; elevator; enriching activities, etc. So, if this sounds like a terrific way to spend retirement, please call [name removed] at [phone number removed]. He will not only present what Southview offers, but he imparts so much general knowledge no matter what facility you choose. He is SO down-to-earth. He is very experienced in this field -- he discusses the psychological and emotional issues involved in this decision. I promise that you won't be sorry if you give [name removed] a call.

I visit senior living communities for a living so I have seen many. Some are beautiful and new, others are not so new. Some have great staff, while others do not. Las Palomas happens to be a newer, well maintained community with a wonderful staff. Each time I walk in, I am greeted, not just by the concierge, but one or more residents. The dining room is always full and noisy. Noisy dining rooms means engaged residents. I would not hesitate to refer anyone to this community!

It's a very modern facility and pleasant to be in. Everyone is very friendly, and most of the residents seem very happy. It's clean overall. They've had a bit of a problem with bugs, but it seems like they're getting a handle on it. The staff are very good, although it can take a little bit to get them moving sometimes. They just don't seem to have enough help. Our loved one seems to enjoy the food and is eating plenty of it. However she's diabetic, and they don't have enough diabetic friendly options or information for her. But she seems to be enjoying the activities she's participating in.

Our Mom and Aunt (twin sisters) moved to Green Oaks Independent Living after living in another Senior Community which was quite large. When they arrived here, it was a big relief to find that It was a short elevator trip and then they were right by the dining room and mailboxes. It made it so much easier for them to get out and get their meals. And they loved the snacks available at the Bistro! After a couple of years, declining health made it necessary for them to receive increased care and moved them to the Memory Care Unit. The room set-up for the twin sisters was perfect ... bedrooms right next to each other (connected by an alcove) and each had their own bathroom. But the best stand-out feature was the caring staff of the Memory Care Unit. We had a chance to see first-hand how they tried to be sure to include our Mom and Aunt in the small community and give personalized attention when their health was failing. Thank you Green Oaks ... and especially the Memory Care Staff!

Though it was emotionally challenging moving my very independent-minded mom from her home of over 20 years to Assisted Living, Liz Dinnesen and her team have done an amazing job helping us with the transition. Liz took all the time needed to answer my questions when exploring the change. She provided insights and suggestions to help us go through the process and moved with great speed to help us with the apartment. After my mom moved in, she and the Mason Assisted Living and Memory Care team engaged my mom from the start to make her feel comfortable and a valued member of the community. Very grateful and happy that we’ve been so fortunate to have such compassionate and talented team members helping us navigate through this significant life event.

After looking at many retirement communities in the Columbus area, my daughter, Abby, found Hilliard Assistant Living for me last Fall. I was diagnosed with some health problems last year and decided that it was time for me to move closer to my daughter and her family. I moved the day after Christmas 2020, just 3 1/2 miles from my family! Since then, I have been kept busy by the staff in the Activities department, enjoying the many exercise classes as well as bus trips to grocery stores and lunches out. Kim Martin, Food and Beverage Director, asked several of us to help with the Daily Specials each week. I've always enjoyed cooking and planning meals, so this has been fun for me. I am also an avid reader and helped to organize the Library soon after moving in. I do not need assistance right now, but know I will as I grow older. Now, I am enjoying getting to know the excellent and caring staff as well as the other Residents. I highly recommend Hilliard Assisted Living.

My mother has been a resident of the memory care neighborhood for about a month and she couldn't be any happier. The gals welcomed her with open arms and she's made a couple of new best friends! The staff is truly caring and consistently keeps the entire group busy with exercises, activities and games. There is always someone nearby in case she needs assistance or has a question, as well as taking care of any issues with her accommodations. My family and I are thrilled with the care and attention she is receiving.

Upscale environment so no one feels like they are "away at a senior center". Very friendly staff always greeting residents by name. So convenient to have a beautiful theatre, exercise room and arts and crafts rooms. Activities are getting better all the time with lectures, music, crafts, even foreign language lessons! A great place for independent living, assisted living, or something in between. I am very pleased with the level of care and attention for my mother relieving me from any guilt about not being with her every day.

[name removed] was very special in Returning our phone call and getting us in for a next day tour. We are leaving with a Full Packet of information - AND have asked to be on a Waiting list for a 2 Bedroom Apt - We were very Impressed.

I have lived at another local Independent Living and have visited others. Crestview Senior Living is the best that I’ve been to by far. I have enjoyed every day that I’ve lived here. The staff is warm and courteous, they acknowledge me and are friendly. The housekeeping is excellent and the food is GREAT. I get a choice of what I want and as much as I want. I honestly wouldn’t change a thing about my lifestyle here at Crestview. They provide transportation with a lift and a 24 hour staff so I feel safe and accommodated to around the clock! I hope this is my home the rest of my life!! I couldn’t be happier.

[name removed] went above and beyond to accommodate me and my family during a stressful time. He came on his day off knowing we are on a tight time line. Jonathan's time and sensitivity are greatly appreciated. although we still have a lot of decisions to wade through to decide what will best meet my fathers needs. Jonathan represented Palos Verdes in the most positive way.
