Great place with great people

We have nothing but great things to say about Juniper Village. The facilities are nice, but what makes this place special is the people. Everyone from the front desk to the business office, to the nursing staff to the dining hall servers to the aids to the cleaning crew is competent, pleasant and loving. My mother spent the last 2.5 years of her life at Juniper and the love and care she received was more than we could have hoped for. Even during Mom's final days, everyone went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for.

Compassionate care, highly recommend

5 across the board. My mom is very happy, with the only exception of a laundry concern about possibly misplacing her clothes from the dryer. Happy to advertise the excellent care you all provide at a great value!

Top Notch Memory Care Facility

The staff is friendly, competent, caring, and compassionate. The food is excellent. The administrative staff did everything possible to make the "onboarding" process stress free. The quality of care is top notch, with nurses stationed 24/7 in the memory care unit. They are in contact with the families if the need arises. The facility is well kept and clean. The facility provides daily, almost hourly, activities for the residents in memory care. The staff who undertake this responsibility are excellent at what they do and encourage residents to participate to their ability. There is no sitting in front of a TV screen here while staff sit idly by (which was the case in a prior facility). Overall, considering the circumstances of having a parent with dementia, the experience at The Vero is positive.

For $[removed] the quality of the food in the dining hall is more like a school cafeteria.

Unfortunately many of these establishments are all about profits. They should really prioritize care in the mode of thinking that this is the way they would want their own parents treated. The staff constantly changes as well because they are not treated well nor are they paid well.

Our experience with The Vero

Everyone is super friendly. Like that independent & assisted living is mixed, not separated. There is not enough community space for bingo, crafts, cards, etc. there is no large community room.

Would recommend but with budget caution

Not enough medical care when needed from the doctor that covers the residents as their primary doctor. He has too many patients with too many needs and made my mom wait all day to be seen and then she was never seen at all. We had to pick her up and take her to ER. She was also ignored when she told the staff repeatedly that she did not feel well. She was going into CHF and also had Atrial fibrillation and ultimately required a pacemaker that week. We ended up removing her from Vero so that her medical care could be supervised better. Very expensive but compared to home care costs, the value is reasonable. Only the wealthy or people with a long term care policy could ever afford it though. The other thing I forgot to mention that was concerning is that they do not have a cost cap. So their contract says they can raise the rent at anytime at their discretion and for a person with a fixed income, this could mean they might not be able to afford living there at some point and then they are stuck with no place to go because now they have sold their home and don't have a safety net anymore. A promise to always stay within her long term care budget would have made us feel a lot safer or at-least a cap of some kind.

Great option for Independent or Assisted living

We moved my mom here after a hospital stay that resulted in the need for assisted living. The building is relatively new and I was impressed with how wide the common hallways were as well as the ability for the apartment to be wheelchair accessible if needed. I love that they blend independent and assisted living together, it make the whole atmosphere more positive and lively, plus allows for someone to arrive independent and move to assisted without letting go of friends or activities. The staff are all very friendly and yet professional. They strive to get to know the residents personally. There are a lot of onsite actor my mom to get involved in, plus they have onsite PT, podiatry, dermatology and PCP. Overall it has been a very positive experience so far.
