I did like the way they charged residents. One month it was [amount removed]next month was [amount removed]and one month it was a whopping [amount removed] according to her care. I would recommend this place to anyone I know.

Clinical care non existent. If resident falls they will not assist them up they call 911. I personally lifted my mother up and they would not assist. Only use this facility if the resident is totally capable of all ADLs. In other words they are residential, not assisted living. Food is fair. Activities were not quality and not close to what [name removed] provided.

Most staff is good. Some very caring. One was on the borderline of abusive in my opinion. They are short staff and slow to answer help button. Very expensive but they did try to work with us on making the price affordable. My mom hates it but that's because she doesn't like having to be in a facility. For the most part I think they have done well. They just don't have enough help for the price we pay. Every time I've reported a concern they did look into it right away. (They could use more parking and closer to the door. It's a long walk from your car)

The staff is wonderful. My mom was not an easy person to deal with and they all worked to win her over and help her with goals. They really showered her with love and seeed extremely sad when she passed. The facility is very nice and the rooms are spacious. We did not have to pay extra for some amenities: laundry, cable and wifi. The facility had routine activities, parties and entertainment. Food was our only challenge for my moms delicate GI system. We did have several meetings and eventually found solutions. My dad passed there as well and the administrator and others stayed with my mom until we could arrive and be with her

The pricing discussion is where we've had our issues. It felt a little shady at times.

The staff is present. The new corporate management is responsive to email & phone calls. They hosted a family meal but ran out of food and did not have sufficient staff, seating, etc. They are now in management transition, and we are hoping for improvements.

They were fantastic. It is well-suited for the age of the majority of residents. Our apartment was a one bedroom and too small for us. The meals were great, but the Activities seemed geared to assisted living residents.

I would recommend. You must advocate and continually educate the staff on your loved ones preferences. The community has had a lot of changes in the past year. They are trying hard to get it right.

The facility and the staff were great. I have no complaints about anything. It is very clean and there is no odor like there is some other places.

I only had one problem which I was equally responsible for. I used their doctor, but I didn't really sit down with the in-house doctors physician assistant who prescribed the day to day meds and care. I explained that he got constipated and provided miralax for daily use. Apparently it was labeled as needed upon request. My husband was very easy going and they loved him. But when he becomes constipated he gets agitated and aggressive. He is non verbal and could not communicate his problem. He was also continent. I did not pick up on his problem when visiting until he was so backed up and he couldn't locate his room or a bathroom he would go into others rooms to find one. Since it wasn't his room he became aggressive with other residents and staff trying to get him back out. It took three incidents over a two month period until they forced him to go for psych evaluation and drugs. When I finally figured out what the problem was and requested a laxative ( which they only gave if he asked for it -- again he was nonverbal) it was too late to stop the stay at a Geri psych hospital. While there he aspirated. The hospital then returned him to Burlington Creek, got placed on hospice and died of pneumonia a week or so later. When I had him in a small nursing home memory care in Texas before placing him in KC, they gave all patients something daily to keep them regular and encouraged them to drink water several times a day outside of meal times. This apparently was not the practice at Burlington creek. once he was placed on hospice and he neared his last few days, the med tech was super sweet, kind and gentle, and was as loving as a daughter. He was loved there, Burlington Creek and his medical provider just didn't understand the effects of constipation on dementia patients. None of us did.

My loved one is a resident at Anthology at Burlington Creek. Things have been mostly okay, definitely not great. Except for the food, the food is great. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this facility to others.

I think things are going well but there is a little improvement I would like to see in all categories. Thank you. I am happy with our choice. I'd say things were going well. I am optimistic that my loved one will do well there.

I would say that they cost a fortune and don't communicate in a timely fashion if at all and don't seem to be able to deal with the complexities of a resident with dementia. We picked this community, because it was close to us, let her have her cat and it seemed like a place she would choose.

We absolutely love how Anthology at Burlington Creek takes care of our mom. I love how everyone seems to know my mom. They call her by name when they see her. They are welcoming when I stop by and are always willing to talk with me as a friend. I love the updates o get when my mom participates in activities and love to be able to see what her favorite activities are that she attends. It's a warm and welcoming environment with patient and caring people.

It is really a great place. No complaints and I would recommend it. All personnel are really great. There is a very promt response, when you have questions or issues. Amenities, and activites are provided, depending on each person's needs.

I have worked with Anthology at Burlington Creek on multiple occasions to find placement for my patients. They go above and beyond to help families feel at ease with the difficult decision of placement for their loved ones. I have witnessed the staff at Anthology at Burlington Creek provide their residents with care and compassion. I will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for an assisted living/memory care facility.

My Aunt lived at Anthology for over 1 year. She loved it and we enjoyed visiting her there. People were very friendly. She loved the activities We were impressed with the food and even though she was very picky..she always said she loved the food. She made friends and we were pleased with the staff there..who were always so helpful The beautiful large patio was so nice for visiting and enjoying the sunshine on nice days. Her experience at Anthology was excellent and we were grateful! My mom.. her sister..,wanted her to move closer to her.. so we moved her to Arkansas. We give Anthology 5 stars for taking such good care of my dear aunt.

Anthology at Burlington provides great care and communication when we’ve needed it. We refer to them when our residents need memory care. We take care of their residents for rehab and our teams easily work together for the residents.
