Overall world highly recommend.
The staff was very attentive to our needs. They were eager to provide the best experience possible. Rooms were very nice. Good lighting and spacious. Meals were our only concern. The quality was not what we expected. Eating with our mom was not a good experience. We took her out to eat or brought food in.

a positive experience, friendly and caring staff, would recommend
It is a beautiful facility, with nice 'hotel' vibes. They were flexible in the number of days required for stay...as few as 3-4. We needed 10 days and they were fine with that. Other facilities required 2-4 weeks. Staff was always visible on the memory care floor. They asked many questions about what my husband likes and dislikes and made sure he had dogs to pet! Overall, positive experience.

An Extra Nice Place
This former high school building has been magnificently converted to spacious Senior Living and Memory Care apartments. Staff members work hard and truly care for each individual resident. Food is tasty, a well planned balanced diet served restaurant style. Weekly laundry and housekeeping keep the public and private areas well maintained. Around the clock nurse. Hospice, PT,OT, NP and more. Sadly, often short staffed.

Mom finally feels happy!
Mom has had dementia for 5+ years. South High Senior Living has been a great transition for her. She feels more at home here than any of the others. We notice that all the staff are happy working there. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. We are happy we found you! Thank you!

Beautiful facility
The facility is beautiful and staff is very attentive and patient. Rooms are a little small if you have several family members visiting, but the great room is nice.

My experience with South High
It felt more like warehousing. The patients were usually kept in their rooms but the patients often wandering into each other's rooms. [name removed] lost clothes and shoes and other items. The common area was very small with little furniture other than the tables and chairs that were used for meals. It was not a good place for patients that needed memory care and care for Alzheimer's. I had to move [name removed] to 3 different facilities during the time. When she would get upset and sometimes lash out at staff which often happens with Alzheimer's they would often want to send her out for behavioral control or to leave the facility. I still feel so guilty for the treatment she received. Overall at the end I remember only 3 young women that really tried providing good care. Of course they were on shifts. I would ask you to really check these facilities for their ability to care for Alzheimer's. South High is primarily an assistant living facility. The memory care section was small. That staffing didn't seem well trained in caring for this type of patient. There was few activities for the patients to be involved in while they were away from their families. My wife had Alzheimer's so she needed more care. If that is your situation I would not recommend this facility.

Lack of compassion and care - keep looking
I wanted my loved one to have more freedom and be placed in the area where folks are milling around and making sense. Instead he was locked behind closed doors with folks who were so much worse off than he. I spent most nights and every day with him. He was not looked after like he should have been and if I hadn't been there I don't know what would have happened. He was not at all happy about being locked up. I took him out as often as he wanted, but it was sad to leave him there in evening when it was time for me to go home. I pleaded with the assistants to look in on him during the night. I loved him so much and it just broke my heart to leave him there. He felt betrayed once they locked him up! The place was not very clean, the same bucket of dirty water sat in the hallway for days, never moved, while assistants sat lounging in chairs chatting with coworkers. The laundry room was filthy! The poor lady next door to my loved one cried and yelled all night and the walls were very thin so it was if she were in the same room with [name removed]. One morning when I arrived my loved one was in the social room with all the other patients and he was sitting next to a very troubled woman who would not leave him alone. All patients were required to be in the social room so the assistants didn't have to go from room to room to check on them. All the assistants could then sit at the desk, on the desk, and play games or just chat while the patients watched some stupid thing on the TV, or at least tried to watch. I would not recommend this place at all. In fact, I'm not sure they are still open. I discussed all my concerns with the management and they would not move him. I told them I was immediately taking him out and they said they were sorry. They need better supervision in my opinion.

Can't say enough good things!

Safe, beautiful place for my mom
Although my mom wanted to live at home alone, she has come to enjoy life here. She has made friends: residents and staff. It's beautiful, clean, and the staff is wonderful. Great food and fun activities.

Shopping around to a few facilities is a great idea. This will give you an idea of what questions to ask the staff in addition to the ones you may or may not have already thought of. Finding a facility with the smallest gap between what they are selling and what they actually do is key. South High's staff is very friendly and helpful. The only real negative I have had is getting my mother's meds straightened out after moving there. This is not all their fault, but some of this issue has been miscommunication. Everything is straight now. YOU are your family members biggest advocate. Even the best facility will fail to do 100%.. YOU have to be involved with your family member's care. South High is a very clean facility. The move in process was easy. They offer a service from a 3rd party to assist with moving, if the family cannot do it themselves. I would recommend South High to others.

Our 1st Choice
When we started looking for an assisted living location for my mother, by chance we toured South High Senior Living first. After our visit, we couldn’t find another location that compared to this wonderful place. From the first step inside, we were impressed. I’m was relieved to see a locking controlled foyer, with immediate access to the concierge. The interior decor is beautiful, reminding me of a five star hotel. The high ceilings give all living area such wonderful lighting and a feeling of increased space. The dining area and piano bar are spacious and charming, but surprisingly cozy. My mother loves the beauty parlor/spa and plans to use weekly. Her room/apartment is spacious and ready to personalize with her furniture and treasures. The bathroom is perfect, whether using a walker or wheelchair. In addition to the physical amenities, the staff has been helpful, friendly and competent. I could not image a better place for my mother. P.S. she loves all of the activities too !

Would not recommend for memory care
My wife was there for memory care. It was more like warehousing. She was kept in her room most of the time. She lost several articles of clothing and sometimes had clothes that weren't hers. She had an incident with one of the staff and they transferred her to a behavioral clinic without my knowledge and she was there for 2 weeks with no visitors. I transferred her to another facility. I read a couple of months ago that they were having some difficulties and might be closing or being taken over by another organization My wife passed away last October. She was in 4 different facilities in 9 months and I think that added to her suffering. There was a tendency in some of these places to medicate when patients get upset or confused.

Everyone is good to me, I love the food and there is always something to do, they don't pressure me to do activities. I attend what I want, but she does offer and ask me.
