Dad is thriving

Very happy with everything so far! Such a big difference from where we were to Dunlop house. Their staff treat my parents with dignity. My dad is getting so much stronger. Fingers crossed he moves from wheelchair to walker. Felt at [community removed] they were waiting to die and now they have started living. Staff is trained to deal with memory patients too

Great staff - positive experience

Most of the staff are good. Definitely need to be active with family members care. That is true for every facility. They do need better food selections and variety.

Overall a nice community.

We like everything about the community and it is not the first family member to have occupancy there at Dunlop House. We would most definitely recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

Outstanding Facility and Staff

We had an outstanding experience at Dunlop House. The environment was always clean. All staff seemed to always be aware of my mother in law, even where she was in the building. The atmosphere was social and friendly. As end of life week arrived, all staff were exceptionally attentive.

Highly recommended

I am very pleased so far with the care mom has received. I have to take her to a hair stylist occasionally. I have not established communication with a Physician there. Overall I am satisfied. Hopefully Dunlop House will get a hair person and I will get a better communication with a in house physician. [names removed] are great contacts to take care of any issues.

Best possible choice

I would highly recommend this facility. We've known several people with loved one's here and they all had positive experiences. Our experience was very positive also. It felt like the only place that I believed would provide really good care and they didn't fail us on that. Definitely the best possible choice for my loved one. The residents are pretty active here. They offer a variety of activities and even live music/piano playing. Housekeeping was very thorough, my loved one's room was always very clean. It was always spotless and smelled good. My loved one always looked very clean and well taken care of, even towards the end. Communication with the family was excellent, they never hesitated to call and were very on top of keeping us updated and informed. Again, I would highly recommend this facility!

Dunlop Review

My brother says that he doesn't get the assistance he needs. He says that there is nobody there to help him. When I would visit, I would have to tidy up his room for him. The nurses are pretty friendly. If your family member isn't completely independent and can not do everything on their own, I would not put them there and that includes doing their finances. If I knew this, I would probably not have moved him there.

The Dunlop House was very clean and modern looking. The staff seemed friendly and the residents seemed engaged in the observed activities. I spoke with one of the residents sitting outside, and she expressed her liking of the facility. [Name removed] was helpful, even recommending another facility that might better address my mothers wound care needs. I can only give a 4 star rating based on a visit, not residence.

They made dad feel welcome

We have had a positive experience with the staff at this community. They are very attentive, caring and interact well with the residents. They offer some daily activities and field trips out. This is a locked down unit and I like the staff to resident ratio they have. Dad loves the food especially the breakfast. They keep the community clean and I would recommend it.

Unsure!

The staff here was nice and I thought that the community was great. I really can't say much because my loved one was not there very long at all. The community was nice and neat though.

Nice place, overall

We toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. I thought Dunlop House seemed like a very nice place overall, and it was definitely somewhere we would have considered for our loved one. However, they did not have an all-inclusive pricing structure, which was one of our main interests when searching for a facility.

Very nice place. Met with Holly, who is very nice and personable. She took all the time that we needed, and provided valuable information. My husband and I felt very welcomed by her and the staff. They were all friendly and seemed happy with their jobs. The residents seemed to be happy and in good care. This is the first time we had toured assisted living facilities, and were a little shocked at the monthly cost.

Wonderful place. Staff is very patient, takes great care with their residents and supportive of family members. Plenty of activity of various types. Very clean environment and good, healthy meals. My mother has told me on several occasions that she loves it there and the people around her.

The tour felt a little rush...

The tour felt a little rushed. I did see a good portion of the facility and liked the activity rooms especially. This was the final tour of the day so I can honestly say 'the vibe' and our talk was more about money and availability than care for residents.

Have to bring your own linens

They were pretty good, the only thing I didn't like was you had to furnish everything, like the sheets, the towels, that kind of thing and you had to do her laundry. So that was okay, if we had to we would have and they seemed pretty good. The facility seemed clean and all, I don't know how many people were in the unit, I know it's more than where she is now. This was third on our list because we had to furnish the linens and do the laundry.
