They don't have any ways they can improve. It's very good and I like it a lot. My mother likes it too. It's all good.

Perfect, and Lizzie is a treat to work with.

All assisted living, beautiful, even nicer than dad's but way out of our price range.

I think that they are very good. My mother complains about the food. I told her to tell someone about it and she said she didn't want to get anyone in trouble. I didn't know if that was her punishing me for being out of town or if there really was a problem with the food. All of them are pretty pricey but I looked around and there are a lot of other places that are higher priced. They give her her medications and do her laundry and clean up her room. I think it's all fine. She seems to be enjoying the acitivities. She was saying that they don't do them when they're supposed to. I think some of them are directed by some of the people that live there and she hasn't complained about that recently so it could have just been one time.

They've been extremely conscientious about her care and communication is really good so I have no complaints whatsoever. It's very clean, the staff is very friendly and I'm very happy with her there. I think for what we're paying, and it's quite a bit, that we're definitely getting the value from it. She's doing much better here, she has good days and bad days, she still wants to go home but that's normal. They have bingo, they go shopping, she's doing as well as you can do in a place like this and everyone's bent over backwards to accomodate us.

They're going wonderfully, I went to the a place for mom website and they recommended this but it's not too far from where I live and my brother lives and we went in and did the tours and talked to other family members of residents and they all had wonderful things to say about it. Since my mom has been there she's been getting great care, she has some language problems and sometimes switches back and forth between English and Greek but they've been very understanding and if there are any issues they call me and let me know. They have socials everyday, sing a longs and puzzles and crafts and sometimes when I go and visit I see her doing thems with a bunch of other people, we're definitely getting value, It was a hard decision to make but I think we found the right place.

We looked at The Legacy. It has been sold and we haven't been back since it's been sold but when we went it was huge and a little overwhelming. The food was very good and the staff was very friendly. It was just very, very large and I could tell that my mom was uncomfortable even just taking a tour so we opted to look for something smaller.

spoke to Audrey- sounds great- many activities and trips, piano, restaurant style dining, shuttle, laundry, housekeeper, utilities (except phone), recent renovation studio $2825/month

I love that this facility (company) focuses solely on memory care. I really liked the activity areas scattered throughout the community that might engage a resident. This is my first choice should I need memory care for a family member.

I have been very impressed wuite frankly, the staff is great, my mother loves them, they're very accomodating, helpful for her and they're just very pleasant people. I have been very satisified and I can't say anything negative about them. The only negetive thing I could think of, and it's partly my fault, is I'm not doing the prescirption pharmacy they prefer because I can get them much cheaper through Rx outreach. I don't think Diance really likes it because it's a little more work for her and sometimes I need to remidn them about the doctor writing prescriptions. The food is good, the place is clean, there's no untowards smells and from what I've seen of the interactions all of the residents are very comfrotable and I've been very pleased.

Excellent community. Very friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of activities and special events to chose from. They truly are there to assist you in any way they can. Their Alzheimer's section is one of the best, residents are well cared for given individual attention with activities to suit their various stages of Alzheimer's within the unit. I would give them a 5+ rating.

They are really friendly and everyone here just so down to earth. The atmosphere here is very relaxing and inviting. It's not stuck up at all! We really like Chambrel and would recommend it to anyone looking for a community for their loved one.

This community is very nice and we are really enjoying it. Everyone here is so helpful and very nice. We really liked the atmosphere, it is warm and inviting. The residents are not just sitting in wheelchairs they are engaged in activities and moving around. The residents really seem to be happy and so does the staff. The community smells lovely, not like an old person home or a hospital. We feel like it was a great choice and I would recommend it to anyone, in fact I already have.

We had my mother-in-law in there for 3 months and the service, the personnel, the staff, everybody was wonderful. We brought her back home because she leveled out on medication and the doctor said she could come back home so now we have home caregivers coming in but we were very satisfied with Clare Bridge. We saw a couple of places and we liked them the best and they had a room available. Rachelle at Clare Bridge went above and beyond and helped us out very much.

We've bene real pleased with them, it seems to be real clean, they do a good job keeping it clean. They're really friendly and they know everyone by their first name, they're really attentive to their people which I was really impressed with. The other places I went to they didn't acknowledge them by their first name. I had a little bit of a sticker shock when I went out and started looking but I realized the reason I had such a sticker shock was because I was comparing them to independent livings but really you can't compare the two, they're like apples and oranges. The care seems to be real good, it seems to be fine, one thing I was a little bit disappointed in and it's not just Emeritus, but I was expecting to have one person that I intereacted with and I feel like it would be advantageous in the care giving profession if they used a software system like constant contact where you can be in communication with everybody so the people wanting to find out about their loved ones could go on and see what was happening.

The facility was beautiful & the staff was very friendly. The staff interacted well with the residents. The event calendar was full of activities. The rooms were spacious & had a small effiency with microwave & refrig. housekeeping,laundry, & cable all included.The food smelled good & looked good. They have two menus in case a resident does not care for anything on one menu. Met the chef himself as well who was also pleasant. Mom & I both are very pleased with Emeritus. This is a 5.

My brother and I were very impressed with this facility. Although we did not tour the Memory Care area. Will need to further pursue, but at this time, Mom has no desire no matter how nice I tell her it is to make a move at this time. My brother and I have made changes to her financial arrangements in hopes of keeping her in her home for a bit longer. Fees are a concern.

I know they do have more employees per resident there because it's a memory care facility. There are way more people on the staff than the place my father is and on the weekends it's really no different than on a weekday. My mom's been there for a little over two years now. I have found that the staff are very patient, kind, and caring. They check on mom a lot. It seems like they have more staff development. They seem a lot more aware of the needs of the resident. I'm very happy with mom there. The place never smells. Her laundry is always done, it's never allowed to pile up in the closet. I think they run a very efficient place.

The price is up there but they're doing more for my sister than she would have gotten any place else. The main reason we chose them is because my sister is a very delicate diabetic. She takes shots 4x a day and this was the only place that I found that would actually giver her her shots and she didn't have to do them herself. There is a nurse there all the time so they can give her her shots. They call me on everything. If she fell down and stubbed her toe they would call me. They're really spot on and really watch. The meal times are set. It's 8am, 12pm, adn 5pm and if you miss it, you miss it.

This is my first experience, but I'm completely satisfied, Im' still getting adjusted to sticker shock, but I'm finding that it's kind of the norm in this business but as far as taking are of dad, they're doing an excellent job. He's adjusting to it real well, he's very social and open, the problems he's having are because of his dementia. They handle everything just fine when he asks them when he's getting out of there. I get lost sometimes and I have too much expectation on my dad in this stage in life, I got a little confused to start, there was some turn over and I went to the head nurse about who I can talk to when I have questions because I don't want to bother the manager and she said I can talk to her; so I track her down in her office and if she has time we sit down right then and there and talk, she makes herself available. it's a confusing situation and I think I'm going through as much adjustment as dad is, I'm getting used to the security but it's the kind of security I want, they're taking good care of him.
