Camellia the Cream if the Crop!

A Place for Mom turned us on to Camellia (thank you [name removed]!) And we fell in love with the place the minute we walked in. [name removed] immediately became the angel on my shoulder through a long, arduous process and I couldn't have done it without her. The community is bright, cheerful, buzzing with activity and full of life! Today my mother became a resident. I look forward to meeting/working with the rest of the staff. I know they will be just as amazing. Thank you Camellia and A Place For Mom!

warm welcoming atmosphere

The dining staff has high turnover. Corporate reorganization has resulted in lots of changes. No current sales staff but being worked on lots of movement in and out currently. Biggest challenge is food and dining staff @ Camilia. The facility is friendly and has a warm atmosphere.

Staff genuinely cares about each resident.

The entire staff strives to make this a loving and comfortable home for all residents. Residence are encouraged to eat with others in the dining area and join as many activities as they feel comfortable. There are multiple opportunities for outings, including lunch and shopping. The Physical Therapy team is top notch and the director of nursing is truly an angel.

Camellia at Deerwood review

We have a great experience with Camille. The facility is always clean. The staff is amazing. Caring and loving. My Dad is in memory care and needs extra care. The staff is always in tune to his needs. He enjoys the meals. He is on a special diet and they always make sure his needs are met. The cost is somewhat high but we tried several other places where he was not taken care of and ended in the hospital. We sleep good at night knowing he is safe and happy.

overall a nice community with room for improvement.....

Camellia at Deerwood was great at first but then changed administration & bought out so things have gone downhill since February. The friendliness of the staff is a 4, but currently a 3 due to admin changes and many staff changes. The meals is currently a 2 rating due to changes of hands. They need more transportation options however for appointments, etc. Prices have increased since last November & with new admin...inflation?? A nice community with room for improvement...think they need to work out the kinks from New Administration and Company buy out.

Great place to thrive

If you are looking for a place for your aging parent, look no further. My only wish is that she would’ve moved in a few years earlier. Everyone there, from housekeeping to marketing is welcoming and genuine.

Recommended

I am currently a resident at Camellia at Deerwood and I can honestly say that my rating for everything is a five. Everything has been going very well. My only problem has been coordinating my doctor visits and getting my prescriptions delivered. I think that will get worked out. Otherwise, my experience has been great. The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The staff and activities are great, also. I would recommend this facility to others.

Welcoming environment

The facility is nice and well kept but the key is the staff and the residents. The welcoming environment exceeded any other - even those much more expensive. My mother has a two bedroom apartment with a full kitchen. Very good condition and facility support is excellent when there are issues (a/c, etc). She also had maid service one a week (standard with all units) and clothes washing service for a very nominal amount. The apartment is certainly roomy enough for her but it's only around 1000sqft. Slightly on the small side for a standard two bedroom.

Review for Camellia at Deerwood

Staff and residents are very friendly. Many opportunities to socialize based on the resident.I would recommend. The best endorsement I can share is I popped by to visit my Dad the other day and he was showered, shaved and dressed nice to go down to dinner. This last year he has been existing but now I feel like he is living again. We picked this community because, it felt more homey but still spacious.

our families experience

Based on what I've seen and experienced when I visit mom, I give everything a 5 except for the meals/dining. Mom complains about long waits and sometimes running out of food options due to shortage of workers. They can't seem to keep chef's there. Everyone really likes the new director (name removed). Lots of activities. I've actually gone to a couple of exercise classes with mom. (name removed) is great! We laugh a lot in there. New activities person seems to be organizing more Friday outings which mom likes. I love that many of the doctors and services are right there at (name removed). Overall, my mom seems very happy. Lots of opportunities to socialize. Her 1 bedroom apt is really nice!

Not recommended for independent living

I would let others know that independent living and assisted living are all together. And if you're in independent living there is absolutely no interaction. Another area they could improve on would be the activities, I think they need to provide more of them for the residents. I would not recommend Camellia at Deerwood, I am wanting to move my loved one soon.

You won't regret moving here

Camellia has a saying on their shuttle bus; " it's not like home, it is home", and that is definitely how my parents feel. They feel like its a home for them.

Beware of Camellia!

Don't go! The food is all prepackaged food. They do not cook it on site, except for breakfast. They are short staffed. The activities have gone down hill. Any communication I get, no one answers the phone when I call back. My loved one was in the hospital and somehow they didn't get her paperwork when she returned. I assumed that was required for her to return to the facility.

Tour of Camellia at Deerwood

My parents loved Camellia at Deerwood, we will actually be going back soon to have lunch so we can taste the food. My parents are both very active and they seemed to have a lot to do here. They had an excercise room, water aerobics outside in the pool, etc. The staff were awesome.
