This is an independent living facility, care services are not provided. The apartments are a good size and provide adequate storage space. The kitchen, although small with few drawers and cabinets, is adequate since the apartment residents are required to pay for 3 meals per day. The cleaning services are inconsistent, especially if your service is on a Monday. You are not permitted to request a new cleaning person if the one assigned to you does not meet your standards. The most disappointing aspect of the facility is the food quality and preparation. Breakfast is usually the most acceptable meal. Lunch (main meal) and dinner choices are limited, often unhealthy, repetitive and poorly prepared (too salty, served cold, covered with gravies, overlooked). Residents who have the initiative and social skills can keep busy on site. They can organize activities in space provided. Some activities are set by the social director. She is often busy providing many other services; occasional, bus driver, front desk substitute, etc. There are off site shopping, lunch, and other trips for residents who have few mobility issues.

My tour was great but all rooms were on the second floor or higher so that is why we didn't place my loved one here. The Villas at Canterfield had a really nice and friendly staff.

We liked the look of Southlake and the friendly people - staff and residents smiled and greeted us in the hallways. Mom liked that the common spaces were smaller, providing intimate spaces for groups like arts & crafts or for sitting and reading. Every apartment has a small kitchen and its own laundry facilities with larger machines available for blankets or comforters (in common laundry rooms). This is an independent community but there are many residents who use walkers. We were surprised that the curbs around the building didn't have accessible ramps or cuts to accommodate those. We were told curb cuts will be done in the near future - we hope they will provide dedicated spaces for walkers or wheelchairs to access the parking lot or grounds. The one curb cut we saw was in front of a parking space where a car was parked, blocking access. We like the idea of renting an apartment and "aging in place" although it was stressed that only short term care would be allowed since they are not an assisted care facility. We hoped that if/when Mom needs help showering or dressing for a few hours a day (no medical care involved) that she could still live there. Not sure that's as accepted as it has been at other places we visited. The spaces felt quite open, but we were disappointed there were few balconies available in the apartments. Storage was a big concern; not much closet space and no storage units/spaces provided on site.

My parent has been at Elmcroft for a while now. The facility is beautiful but while the common areas are always clean getting the units cleaned is sometimes difficult. You have to ask several times. Daily activities are prominently displayed but if you are there at the given time they don't always occur. The menu is not always healthy, soup is often served as a first course and it is almost always high in sodium, not good for a heart patient. When you hear from the nursing director regarding a health issue or a concern you are not given clear data, but a "that's what the staff has told me" remark. If you are looking to place a parent who is fairly independent it would work well. For a parent who needs some assistance you might want to get in writing, clearly spelled out, what you will receive, before you commit. You are often presented with a service (such as medicine) that makes you wonder if Elmcroft is receiving a kick back. Look at the entire package carefully.

no room available and cost was much higher

Adequate but a notch below Ashley Park.

I didn't care for because it was too quiet. It's for a lot of patients that have advanced dementia. There weren't enough activities to keep them full of life.

We knew that was going to be temporary, it was too expensive to stay and not enough privacy. I think that it was kind of difficult for her to get help sometimes and get attention when she needed to go to the bathroom. I don't understand why she couldn't have a bedside toilet when she was having such a hard time with incontinence. It really depends on what you are looking for, and we didn't understand that at the time. They do almost no rehabilitation, and that is really what she needed.

it was going to be my second choice, it's literally around the corner from my house but then it had some things about it I didn't care for. It's kind of run down, the carpeting on the floor was very stained and the staff there just stood around like they didn't really care about what they were doing and I was going to go back and visit again because I thought it was just a weird down and I was really turned off by what I saw of it. It was dinner time and the staff, when they were feeding the residents really turtned me off by the way they were interacting with them.

Visited here about a year ago...was not impressed with the activity - seemed like Mom wasn't ready for this confining level yet. Did not keep price info. May need to revisit if we cannot figure out a way to afford Summerville Estates

Horizon Bay is an assisted living and memory care facility. We toured this establishment on Wednesday August 14th. Within minutes of our arrival, Janet Aldridge greeted us and we commenced the tour. This place is quite large and has 2 floors. We started on the first floor. There are basically no hallways for residents to get lost or turned around in. All the rooms seem to face a large open area so as soon as a door is opened a person can see where they are with no hallways to look at. It is very well appointed, with nice furniture, airy, pretty quiet and quite clean. The staff on the first floor all seemed to be in good spirits, with lots of smiles. The rooms we saw were fairly spacious and nicely furnished. Residents can decorate however they want. A television is not provided but there are no cost Comcast hookups. Overall the first floor and part of the second were very nice. Also on the second floor is an area (it is called Brookdale) for the residents with memory problems. This area is behind locked doors, and as soon as one enters, the lower quality of the furnishings and general look of this area becomes apparent. It is not nearly as 'palatable' as the first floor. This is not to assume that the care given here is of any less quality as in other areas, but the physical impression of Brookdale leads one to think that. I did not see any prices listed for the assisted living area, but prices in Brookdale are $4600 for a private studio and 3900 for a shared studio. I am not sure what constitutes 'assisted living' but it appears to be what is catered to here. My wife is a heart attack/stroke victim and has lost a lot of control of her body (she is incontinent) and mind. I did not see or hear one mention of the word incontinence...and I forgot to ask. Anyway, I came away with an overall good impression of Horizon Bay, but the Brookdale area was a let-down. Respite is available at a flat rate of $165.00 per day, but the minimum is 14 days, which makes this feature quite expensive, at least for me.

Assisted living only. No skilled beds

They were not prepared for us. Did not know there was a scheduled appointment. Did not meet with director. Does not matter. Not a good fit for us. She said it looked like a funeral home. I say, nice place but I would not want to live there. Even a person w/o short term memory problems could get lost.

Close to family. 3 levels. Neighborhood would need Aid & assist before long.

Actually, after speaking with [name removed] (director) and [name removed] (medical) my rating is now 2-3. My mother has been paying for additional services (almost the most that can be paid) and she has fallen 3 times in less than a 30 day period. She moved in [date removed]. We are now seeking other alternatives for my mom.

Overall, [name removed] the gal who helped us with the whole move in process was very very good. She really worked with us and went above and beyond to make the stay a good one. Unfortunately, one person cannot make the whole facility great. I was not very pleased with the medical staff, [name removed] was great but he did not work every shift. We had some issues with the other staff, they just did not seem to care as much as they should have.

My loved one was able to participate in more activities they enjoyed. My loved one fell during their stay at Ashbrook Village. Ashbrook ended up having to send my loved one to the hospital. The community charged us for two months, even though my loved one wasn't there for that entire period. Ashbrook Village had good food, and nursing aides.

We chose Larkspur at Twin Creeks because of the affordability and the larger room sizes. The bathrooms were too dark in the facility, you had to have a light to go in. We were right next to a hotel so there was quite a bit of noise. There were also lots of people outside the facility that did not belong there. The best part about Larkspur was that we made some good friends. It seemed more like a hotel here than a living facility.

We know our loved one can be difficult at times. Suffering w/dementia, stubbornness, & almost a century in age, makes for a handful of management. Our loved one entered The Haven @ The Summit w/assistance of a walker (due to the long walk). When we picked him up after 17 days in respite, he had to be rolled out in a wheelchair. He could not walk nor stand on his own. The charge nurse did not give a report on his condition upon discharge. She handed us his bag of meds & said goodbye. A custodial worker (w/double-duty responsibilities) found a wheelchair while we packed his belongings. The custodial worker also helped get him into the car. Once home, a male neighbor had to lift him out-of-the-car into his wheelchair which he’d never used. He was bed bound until doctor prescribed weeks of home physical therapy. We also noticed weight loss. After being home for nine-10 weeks, he now walks throughout the house w/out the use of his wheelchair or walker. He regained his weight. Before being admitted to The Haven, we decided to let him go back to stay after this respite period ended. That did not happen! We were not pleased w/his care. The facility (building & grounds) seemed clean, but the memory care was disappointing. They seemed short staffed. Initial meetings & touring were great sale jobs.

The location is near my home, about 5.2 miles away. This review is in regards to the memory care section. The outside looks very good but I was not able to go back and try out a meal prior to placing her in this location. I understand why after seeing the meals. I have been in a couple medicaid only facilities and the meals are better there. I had a major issue getting the medication she is to take straightened out. After taking in a heating pad initially, it was taken away as there was not an order. I did get an order and they have not found the heating pad yet. I will probable take in another one. There is a lack of discipline among the workers as they play their music and they congregate together and not checking on others who are in their room. The place is clean. There is an activities chart on the wall but all the times I have been in there the only activity is music and trying to get the residences to also sing along. The TV is going all the time.
