My experience with Tribute at Black Hill

My mother has been a resident for about a month. She has been well cared for with a friendly and welcoming staff. To date there have been fewer activities to engage her than I'd hoped. New staff has been hired which I hope will show improvement in that area.

Finding our Community

The staff is wonderful, I haven't met a single person there in a year that isn't friendly and playful with my Dad! The activities could be a little better. They had this Connections program that bridged the gap between assisted living and memory care but the program leader left a few months ago and the property changed management companies shortly after that. They said they'll bring it back so we'll see. The food is pretty good and they just got a fantastic new chef so it's only gotten better! Most importantly my Dad enjoys it there, he has little inside jokes with so many of the staff and loves every interaction he has with them! The property is beautiful, smells nice and is always perfectly decorated for every single holiday!

They are really good. The staff is kind including management. There is some turnover, but it hasn't changed the level of service for the most part.

Kind, helpful, caring, ever vigilant staff

My sister loved the place. The staff were kind and helpful. Because of the care she received she recuperated and now she lives back in her own condo. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families! My sister made some friends at Tribute that she still visits about once a week.

Wonderful care staff

The support staff and aides to the residents are wonderful! Everyone is very friendly and they go out of their way to engage with the residents. Communication from the medical staff needs improving, however.

We appreciate Tribute!

Tribute has been supportive,accommodating and attentive to both of my Parent's. They have also served as a resource for our family and have kept us informed during emergency situations. They both love the amenities especially the ontsite salon.

Recommending this beautiful and pleasant community, with hopes that the new director will be able to improve........

Overall seems good, compared to things we have heard about other area facilities; my mom is treated well and with respect and seems to like living there. She has made several friends there and generally gets all of her needs met. Beautiful and clean facility! Aides and kitchen staff are very friendly to residents! Difficulty with retaining staff in higher level roles (head nurse especially!) and retaining aides, likely due to complaints about pay. Some delicious meals; others repetitive, as per my mothers report. Activities have been improving recently, but have been less "engaging" vs movies, bingo, watching musicians, etc than we would have liked over the past year. New activities director has been stepping it up in this area over past 2 months though. This is a very expensive facility! Recommending this beautiful and pleasant community, with hopes that the new director will be able to improve staff numbers and retention issues.

Mixed experience

Tribute at Black Hill was a very nice facility. The staff was friendly and welcoming. My father was there for one month of respite care. One issue from a care perspective was with the distribution of his medications. He was given daily meds regularly, but a medication that was to be given PRN (as needed) was not given when requested by my father. Because he couldn't remember the name of the medication, he was given Ibuprofen. At 92, he shouldn't have been responsible for remembering a difficult drug name, especially since the nursing staff had been alerted to his condition. Also, checking on residents didn't seem to take place as often as reported. My father slept through lunch one day and no one came to get him. We were told that caregivers check rooms when residents don't show up for a meal. This was not the case one Saturday when my sister came to visit. Overall, I think my dad had adequate care during his 30-day stay, but some tweaks need to be made.

Tribute at Black Hill by Cogi

There seems to be a lot of staff turnover. Some caregivers are very nice to the residents but some are not nice, according to my mom. There are a lot of activities for the residents to participate in if they choose which is a definite plus. The meat is often overcooked and tough. The service time is very slow.

Review for Tribute at Black Hill

I have been very pleased with the staff at Tribute at Black Hill. The facility is very nice and does not have the appearance of a typical assisted living facility. My dad has been very pleased with the food, especially their hamburgers. He is settling in well and seems to be adjusting well to living there.

My dad was only here a week before he passed away, but that short time was great. I'd highly recommend Tribute at Black Hill.

Tribute at Black Hill is very visually appealing. It smells amazing all the time. The food is good. The people are friendly. If your family member has additional needs you will have to keep on them and check up regularly. One suggestion that I do have is that they need more activities and outings. What they advertised is not what they are providing. However, overall I would recommend Tribute at Black Hill to others.

friendly and caring staff

Tribute at Black Hill is a great facility and so far has exceeded our expectations. What we like the most about the community is the different activities going on as well as the staff members. We appreciate all the exercises and cognitive stuff they have going on there. Based on the experience so far we would recommend this community to others.

Nighttime Care Needs Improvement

They could improve with their nighttime care. My mother rings her bell and it could take more than an hour sometimes for them to respond. This is very stressful and ridiculous for the amount of money being paid each month. I am not sure if I would recommend Tribute at Black Hill, I guess it would depend on the needs of their loved ones.

Tribute at Black Hill

We think that Tribute at Black Hill is a great place! The most important feature is that fact that it does not have that old age/rehab/hospital smell to it. It is not institutional and it is more like a hotel! Overall it really is a great facility.

Growing pains

They are slow to respond to call buttons. Only in the past 4 months have they had adequate RN/LPN staffing. The CNA level of cg varies greatly ( isn't that across the board?) The director is giving it his all and has made great improvements. I feel we are in a rough spot for elder care at the moment. Nationwide. The activities are good. There was a long period without activities. Yet they still charged full price!

My Tour Experience at Tribute at Black Hill

We looked at this community along with several others in the area. All the communities were good. We were between this community and another. We ended up allowing our loved one make the choice, and they chose the other community due to location to family.
