Good experience

5 for everything except money, but they are more reasonable than anyone else. They have been absolutely patient, helpful, professional and caring. Food is excellent, well balanced and flexible as to individual needs. I'm very happy with them

Could not recommend

I thought that for $[removed] a month, My mom would have clean floors, tasty food even though she was on a soft diet. I thought she even though she was bedridden she would get outside more with a wheelchair. I thought that they would keep her from getting dehydrated or getting bed sores. I didn't think she would need hospitalization for lack of care (based on the hospital's statement). They didn't kill her but they certainly didn't help her much either. I can't drive by the place without crying. I could not give them a recommendation.

The Right Choice

The staff is fantastic and very involved in all aspects of care for the residents. There is a focus on activities and stimulation for physical, mental and social engagement. The facility is immaculate and the rooms are spacious and homey. My Mother is so happy she made the decision to make Clearwater her home.

Clearwater Experience

In regard to Clearwater, the activities director, the woman who works with her and the woman who is in charge of the memory care are great. Some of the residents are clicky. The food was good. My mom needed to go to memory care. The residents are locked in their rooms at night and I wasn't ready for that. She fell in the assisted living and fractured her hip. Not their fault. After going to a rehab facility I found a board care that suits us better.

Great community with friendly staff and abundant activities

What our family likes the most about the Clearwater at South Bay community are the different activities they have going on for the residents there. They have live music, art classes and different entertainment. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.

Yes, I would recommend. Sometimes I found it hard to reach the staff in the memory care unit to get updates as I live in another state. 2 times I left messages and never got returned call. Staff truly cared about my Dad and took good care of him.

Overall It's Been a Good Place So Far

It's a very homey place. Give them some time for the staff to get to know your loved one. It takes some time to get into the groove of things. Overall it has been a good experience. They are understaffed. My loved one has a fantastic bedroom.

So far so good, a good recommendation

Our loved one has only been there for a couple months now and is still adjusting, but so far we have been pleased with the facility. The staff members are nice and usually they are quick to respond, but there are always room for improvements.

Lasting Memories

It's very expensive, and we've already had a rate increase since we moved in. So that's something to keep in mind, to expect 2-3% increases every year. And then when you try to call billing, they don't get back to you (and online billing is atrocious). But honestly, that's my only issue - billing and cost. It is expensive, but I think that's just senior care. It's all a bit overpriced. That being said, the staff is phenomenal. They have been absolutely top class. I've had to travel a lot between states to come visit, and they help make arrangements for my visits, and they'll drop things off for my loved one. I absolutely love them. The activities director has been phenomenal as well, letting me know what 's going on, sending me pictures. She's been an absolute goddess. Maneuvering around in Covid like she has to make sure the residents are still being stimulated has been very much appreciated.

Go Somewhere Else

They were poorly run operation. My loved one fell several times here even with staff not witnessing them. This was a short stay. We couldn't get out of here fast enough.

I would like to schedule another tour for the month of August. We have visited before, but my mother doesn't remember much about it. She does remember that she liked it. August 30th at 11am-We had another tour. [Removed] likes it though she stated she prefers to stay where she is, Harbor Terrace. I think Welbrook is great, due to the layered memory care approach., the facility, the reputation, the location. I would still consider Welbrook at the top of my list when [Removed] can no longer stay at Harbor Terrace. [Removed] and I had lunch at Welbrook today. She likes Welbrook, She would rather stay at Harbor Terrace now. When the time is right, and I am not sure when that will be, she will move to Welbrook after Harbor Terrace
