Excellent Care from StellarCare

The level of care is consistently excellent. The facility is clean, the room is clean, and the resident is kept clean and groomed. I visit twice per week and by visual observation and smell I can attest to this. Equally important, since my father has dementia but is still conversational, he expresses happiness with his life there. He is comfortable there. He enjoys being around so many people, the activity, the livliness of the continual engagement between staff and resident.

I do think that it would be nice if there were more crafts/activities not intended for advanced patients, maybe same activities with multi-levels.

A gentle and kind team for Mom's final months

5s all around. My Mom's final months were as comfortable as I could have hoped for. We would absolutely recommend Stella Care to other families! Thank you!

Review for Stellar Care

The main reason was it exclusively for Memory Care patients. The other places I looked at were assisted living first and a smaller memory care unit felt like an afterthought. StellarCare had three floors were depending on your state you would live. The lowest floor had less stimulus and soft colors while the upper floor catered to active patients. My mom was free to walk around and go wherever she wanted and was always cared for wherever she was. They had the big room downstairs where they did large group activities and a smaller room for the more needy patients with their own activities. They were set up to deal with a variety of patients and I never once saw anyone that wasn't well looked after

Our families experience

Stella Care is close proximity to home. It afforded me the ability to visit daily. The people that worked there were very nice and took interest in my mom's care. My only beef is that my mom in the beginning was insistent on wearing her wedding ring which subsequently went missing. It was tough to put her there in the beginning but she told me later that she liked it.

The facility is very well maintained. The staff is engaging and friendly. The communication has been great, including frequent updates on her status. The move-in was seamless. The food must be good because Mom is eating and sleeping well. This facility is everything I had hoped for and I would recommend it to others.

Pros and cons

Certain staff are very helpful however we have witnessed many of the caregivers spend a majority of their time on their cell phones opposed to being 100% attentive to the patients they are assigned to care for during the "Activities Room" &/or the room the patients go to when not at a meal during the day.

What our family likes the most about the Stellar Care community is the attentiveness of the staff members who are working there. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend them to other families who are looking for a community for their loved ones.

Great facility

I know a Stellar Care resident who is really pleased with the care he has received from the staff. They're all doing an excellent job. They treat their residents with professionalism, respect, knowledge, and compassion. I wholeheartedly recommend this facility, as well as [removed], to anybody who requires attentive caring care throughout their skilled nursing requirements.

Stellar Care Review

We have been very satisfied with our experience and have recommended Stellar care to a friend of ours. There are so many things that have made this a positive experience for us, but what sticks out most is just the cheerfulness of the staff members and the facility itself.

Great place for mom

Stellar Care gets all 5 stars. This is a much better facility than the previous place we had my mother at. We chose Stellar Care because it was super clean, the staff were friendly, they had air conditioning, lots of windows that let in natural light, and there was secure underground parking available.

Would recommend. Long term staff. Helpful and extremely caring.

The staff at Stellar Care have been attentive, friendly, and helpful. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and cheery. And there's a nice garden area.

We had a good tour at Stellar Care. The facility was clean. The staff were very helpful and nice. They way they operated seemed good. It was just a little too closed in for our family's preference. It was more like city living - a four story building with just an internal courtyard garden. The people were nice, and it was really well done. We just preferred less of a city atmosphere.

I toured Stellar Care and it was my favorite out of the other communities I toured. We chose another community as it boiled down to the proximity of my loved one.

Specialized Memory Care for Dementia and Alzheimer's

I like the fact that Stellar Care is a memory care center only, which is ideal for residents with dementia/Alzheimer's. Some other facilities have assisted living as well as memory care, which makes the memory care sections feel like an infirmary sealed off from everything. Because Stellar Care just does memory care, it feels more like a senior community than a full-on memory care center, yet there are still security features in place to keep the residents safe. The staff has been good. Everyone has been very helpful with my loved one. If I need something for him, there' s always someone there to help. All I have to do is ask.

I thought they did a nice job with the tour. We just needed memory care for one relative, and independent living for another relative. And they didn't offer both.
