The Fremont Senior Living
Honestly, as far as the staffing goes, they are all very friendly so far. One lady who works there, distributing the evening pills, smells strongly of cigarette smoke though. The physical therapists know what they're doing. They have a gym there. It's not a big room and doesn't have a whole lot of equipment in it, but it seems like they don't need that much as I've never seen it completely full of people working out. The food choices are one of the reasons I wanted this facility over the others we looked at (the [community removed] also has the good food. They're owned by the same company). There are healthy and varied food options. The only problems we have had with the food there is entirely my father-in-law's fault. When they first went into the facility, he wasn't getting large enough servings. But all he needed to do was ask for more. He refused to do so. We spoke with the staff on his behalf. My husband's family are all BIG eaters. So he really needed more food. Once they knew that, they started giving him larger helpings, and they emphasized to him he could have seconds and thirds if he desired. He frequently takes them up on it. The reason they didn't get a 5 on the level of care is probably also my father-in-law's fault in conjunction with my in-laws probably need to be in a higher level of care facility. You see, because they are in Assisted Living, the staff lets them do things on their own for the most part. But my father in law is sneaky, and doesn't want them to know how bad off they are. As a consequence, he doesn't page them for help (which is available 24/7 by the push of a button) when they need it. So my mother-in-law, who has Alzheimer's, isn't cleaning herself up after the bathroom well enough. He's supposed to page them to help her, but he won't do it. They have tried coming in every 2 hours, asking if she needs to use the toilet, and she always tells them no. My mother-in-law also messed the bed (#2) and my father-in-law "cleaned her up" himself, and then just covered the poopy sheets with a towel. The Fremont changes the sheets on a schedule, and rather than asking for them to change the sheets and telling them why, he just had her sleep on the towel for three days until their scheduled changing of the bedding. Their activities they have scheduled cover a wide variety of interests and abilities. It's very inclusive.

Care was ok, he was happy there but they nickel and dimed us on everything. They kept raising prices for care even though hospice was taking care of most everything. We moved him, and monthly costs were less than half what we were paying at Fremont.

Everything about the experience was devastating and sad. However, not because of Fremont. The manager was awesome. He was caring and helpful throughout the entire experience. My loved one never adapted to Fremont. He was too severe of a case for them. He didn't even make it through the first month. However, I think we would have loved it. Everyone was so welcoming and supportive.

I would definitely recommend them if the cost was not an issue. It was the only option.

The caregivers provided excellent care for my dad and were genuinely concerned about his well-being. The food was delicious and the ability to order from a menu was a plus for my dad. The environment was clean and comfortable, and everyone was friendly.

Dad was not a good fit for Fremont. We had to leave. We had no choice but to move him to another facility. He became angry and confused and was not happy with anything at Fremont. I on the other hand loved [name removed] was very nice and helpful during this difficult process. He returned calls and gathered information until everything was finalized.

The main problems is food service, small portions or running out of advertised food. My main problem is getting work orders done. You put in a work order and you don't hear anything for days. When you inquire, they tell you that they are backed up. I am not sure if I would recommend The Fremont Senior Living to others, unless there was improvement.

First I would like to say thank you for everything that [name removed] with A Place for Mom did to get my Dad into a facility. It was so nice and he was very pleased with everyone and loved the food. Everyone was very accommodating, very caring and my Dad felt very comfortable there. The location was also perfect. I would absolutely recommend The Fremont to others.

My mother in law is currently a resident at The Fremont Senior Living in the Memory Care unit. I love the staff at this facility! They're very sweet and kind. One girl prayed with my mother in law, who was a Preacher's wife all of her life. They have a Chef who is amazing! The meals are very good! The facility is very clean and beautiful. The only downside is that there's not a whole lot of activities for them. They watch TV a lot. I would definitely recommend this facility to others, though!

My loved one had a short stay here. The care staff was great. My loved one fell during their stay, and my loved one was going to come back after rehab. The management wouldn't guarantee that my loved ones wouldn't fall again. Due to this stalling point by management, we ended up having to move my loved one out of the community. Management avoided getting the answers to the family on our questions regarding the ongoing care for my loved one for several weeks. My loved one loved their time here and wanted to go back.

The food is incredilbe. Evey single meal is good. They have typical activites such as Bingo, and I would like to see more intellectual activities such as, chess, checkers and etc. It is a great environment to be in. The male nurses are cute. There is big strong males to help in the shower. That is important because I am a bit heavier.Sometimes they are short staffed. I have a beautiful room , although it's a bit pricey, Overall, it's very upbeat and many activities.

This was a wonderful community with great staff. It was a little more expensive than I wanted to spend.

What turned me away from The Fremont was the fact that when you walk in it feels very institution-like and also there was a very unpleasant odor.

Our family had an in person tour and the lady we worked with was outstanding, and we met with the cooks and aids and all were extremely friendly. However we just did not like the shared bathroom in the apartments.

Everyone there seems to really care about our loved one and treat her like family. They call her by her first name, the staff are extremely cooperative and communicate very well with our family. She also really loves all the meals they serve.
