First Six Weeks at Grand View

Very happy right now. We are about 6 weeks into this and my kids and I feel we made the right decision. I'm here everyday, so I get to observe a lot...so far all good. Hard to put all in a text, but nurses are really on top of any issues. Food is very good (I'm here now and we just had chicken cordon Bleu for lunch). Tables are set with tablecloths and cloth napkins. A lot of activities offered daily. I guess my only complaint is the coffee is weak. I found out that is intentional as a lot of caffeine can interact with medicines. So if that's my biggest concern, life is good.

Peace of Mind

Grand View has provided excellent communication and assistance for our family member’s needs. Availability of staff to answer questions is excellent. Family and friends are always welcomed by the staff when they visit. Such a relief to know she is in a safe place that meets her specific needs.

Review for Grand View Alzheimer's Special Care Center

Not good at all for people with Alzheimer’s that need total care. I took my mom out of there & placed her elsewhere. Wasn't very happy with the care there. It was suggested by A Place For Mom

Horrible experience

Awful experience and horrible people. They let the residents with dementia roam the halls and walk into rooms, in the middle of the night. There was NO supervision at night and zero accountability. They dumped my brother in the hospital waiting room and left him.

Quality Care

Probably one of better homes in area. Excellent head nurse ([name removed]). Most staff very good. Could & should improve staff to resident ratio. Needs more music and activities. Clean facility in good neighborhood. 100% memory care is great so the dementia residents are not step-children.

not a good experience

This facility courts you and talks up what a wonderful place they have for your loved one, but once you are in, you can't get a response from anyone, my mother was had become ill in the first days of her moving in and it was completely ignored, had to be hospitalized . Grandview never inquired about how she was, we returned there only to gather her belongings and moved her out. Would not recommend this place to anyone

Nice community

We would highly recommend the Grand View community to anybody. Our only complaint I had was when we took mom out of the home we were due a refund of roughly [fee removed] and it took a long time to get it back. I made numerous calls and at one time was told it was not a priority at that time. It took over 2 months to get refunded. That being said the facility was very nice and the stuff was very nice and helpful.

Grandview is the BEST of the BEST!

I had the privilege of my grandmother as well as my great aunt living at Grandview and our family knows we chose the BEST OF THE BEST! The food was excellent! The cleanliness was excellent! The staff were beyond loving! The managers were on their game! The residents all seemed to have lots of fun! Thank you for loving my family well until they passed. We are so thankful for all of you. We know you have a tough job, but you are doing an excellent job.

Needs improvement

We had moved our loved out because she was not happy with the care she received. There was not much supervision with the other residents so people were in and out of our loved ones room all the time. Some of our loved belongings were taken and rummaged around. Our loved ones room would smell like urine - this was due to the staff not being able to take our loved one to the bathroom. They gave our loved one some medication they did not need. Things we had bought and provided for our loved one we never saw them.

Overall it is fantastic

The care our loved one has received so far at Grand View has been unbelievable, we have been very happy with this community. IT is very clean and the staff do an amazing job with our loved one and the other residents - they are always so kind and helpful. They have a lot of activities and are very good about keeping them busy and active. Going in to the holidays they are doing a lot of seasonal activities. Our loved one tends to be a picky eater but when we ask about the meals she says overall she likes it. We would recommend them to other families.

Our Experience at Grand View

It's just okay. The people are nice. But we've had a lot of little confusions about finances/insurance/paperwork, and there have been some incidents with the other residents. I understand that everyone there has dementia and doesn't know what they're doing but wish they were able to supervise a bit more.

Very happy with our choice

It is a wonderful place and our whole experience has been nothing but amazing. The staff is wonderful and they keep the residents clean and happy and it has just been great. My father wants to be home, but he is very settled and happy here. They take so much time with their residents and really get to know them. The administrator has been there since it opened and she is absolutely wonderful. She is so knowledgeable and very accessible as well. She helped with the process of transferring my dad from his previous facility. I would highly recommend Grand View to others.

Tour experience

Grand View was a relatively new facility when we toured. It seemed super nice as well and I probably would have put my loved one here if it was just a little bit closer. It was a little on the expensive side.

Highly Recommended

Overall, it's an excellent facility. I would recommend it. It was rated high. They offer activities like exercise, games and group activities. This is a locked memory unit. Any communication with staff has come from phone calls. This is all on one floor.

We are very happy and thrilled that she is there

When we are able to visit we can really see how clean and well kept the community is, this was an excellent choice for our loved one. She is getting all the care and attention that she needs and deserves. The staff members and their care services are wonderful, and she is more than happy with the meals and dining service. We think they have plenty of activities, she loves bingo so we know she is taking full advantage of bingo.

My tour review

I loved the look and feel of this community, however, we were not allowed back into the memory care side. We were not able to tour and that gave us some hesitancy. This was just not the best community for my loved one.

a truley caring community

The staff is very helpful and they make an effort to get to know the family. They do a good job keeping up informed and up to date but they are caring and not pushy when it comes to making decisions. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

Thank God for The Alzheimer's Center

The community has been helping my loved one with painting, playing bingo, and getting them involved. The staff are accommodating working with the residents. I would highly recommend them. My loved one says they are feeding the residents well. I wouldn't want her anywhere else. Everyone is friendly here.

Our tour experience

We went for an in-person tour, but the office staff ended up showing us a video tour there in the office. Overall, this seemed like much more of a lockdown situation for people with worse dementia than our loved one currently has. There were no little kitchens in the room, and we wanted her to have more opportunity to cook things if she wanted to. We decided that assisted living would fit her needs better.
