Sales great, follow through could be better

An excellent sales person and the facility is beautiful. Pros- Great decor, a pool, doctors on site, a hair and nail salon too, a nice courtyard, and a walking path through the adjoining community are all very nice. They also have a ride service for appts off site and a lot of activities offered daily. They make bed & do laundry! Cons- Move in wasn’t as guided as we felt our parents needed. We left not feeling they knew what to do or where to go the next day. We did contact sales about this. Also- There are different levels of care that each resident gets and we were paying for a level for my MIL that she wasn’t getting. But we found out she wasn’t being given showers through her, not the nurses or staff. Big difference in our cost and not okay. Lastly, they weren’t submitting paperwork to long term care that we had filled in & communicated upon move in. A lot of time & phone calls on our part to get that going. Overall due to pros above we recommend the place but be on top of things!

A great fit for mom

We chose the 501 because the facility was clean, stylish, they offered a good care plan, had caring staff and a friendly administration. All of the staff seems professional.

The facility is wonderful as is most of the staff. My complaint would be that they to hire need more help. Overall the 501 is a wonderful facility!

overall a nice community, friendly staff and resort like living.

There could have more activities for the residents, some days they are bored. The place is spotless. The people are very nice. As far as I can tell they are doing a good job. I've heard some of the residents say they don't like the choices, but the menu looks good to me. They need to have more exciting options. I've heard the residents say they don't care for the activities they have, the calendar appears full, but maybe asking them what they'd like to do and incorporate new things might be good. Seems to be in line with other places. It's pricey but it is a very nice place so I think it's priced fair.

Great facility!

During our search for an Assisted Living facility for our loved one, we took a tour of The 501. This facility was new and great! The friendliness was great. It had more open space and was large. However, this facility was more expensive than most others that we toured and it was further away from home.

My review of The 501

I'd pretty much give all the above categories a 5 rating, with the exception of food. That can be hit or miss due to lack of staff in the department.
