a good place during bad time

I really like the room. Even though it is just a studio, the way it is shaped helps it feel like the bedroom is more private. I must say, I have not met much of the staff or other residents. Five days after moving in here, my husband went into the hospital, ten days after that he died. The staff has been nothing but helpful and caring. My family has all commented on how nice this place looks.

I have challenges with their accounts and billing so it took them a few months to get resolved but other than that I had an overall positive experience.

Would highly recommend

The management is extremely friendly and helpful. They , along with the staff, made my mother immediately feel accepted, wanted, and made her comfortable. This was the first time she had moved away from her home area in 85 years, so this was huge. The facility is very nice, week kept, clean and beautiful and always has a very warm and positive atmosphere.

Nice community with room for improvement.

Has had big turnover of management in the last 2 years. My MIL doesn't seem to like any of the food. I have eaten there a couple times and the food is ok, but nothing really to rave about. The community as a whole is good. All one facility so no going to different buildings as in other facilities.

I would recommend them

All of the 7 categories mentioned above in addition to friendliness of the people that live there have contributed to us having a great experience. Yes I would absolutely recommend them. Everyone from management to maintenance to cleaning to transportation to culinary to the people that live at University Pines have taken my Mom in as family and as if they have known her all her life and made her transition there so much easier and pleasant. I feel so secure and happy that she is able to be in such a truly wonderful place.

Great Facility

I would say a 5 on all but number 5. On meals and dining, the food is great, but because of staffing shortages it is not uncommon for dad to wait an hour after sitting before food arrives. Overall University Pines has been great. And the waiting has been an occasion for my dad to practice patience.

Great place

The staff is amazing and go the extra mile to take care of me and keep me happy. They address any problems I might have. I no longer drive and rely on the transportation to take me where I need to go. The bus driver is friendly and kind and helps me with my packages.

Great Place

University Pines provides me with the socialization I need. I love walking the outside perimeter of the community. It provides beautiful sounds and scenes of nature. I enjoy the exercise classes, and the live music and entertainment. The food is great and I like the different meal options that are offered daily.

Review for University Pines by Sky Active Living

You recommend it because of the retired military that was there, my Dad was impressed. I would rave about it. Had a very nice lunch there. All the staff and tenets are so very nice. People came to our table to introduce themselves. It seems to have everything Dad would want, barbershop, activities all day long, meals off site if you want a change on Wednesdays. Once a month gambling excursions, right up Dads alley! Will drive you to Doctors etc. Haven't honestly found a negative feature.

Life is good here

I am currently a resident at University Pines and everything has been very good for me here so far. The move-in process was easy. It was made even easier because of the staff's assistance. The staff are all great, they are so helpful and friendly. The meals are good. I would recommend University Pines to family and friends or any others. There are new people coming in all the time.

Sky Active University Pines review

When it comes to the cleanliness of the community they do a good job. For the meals and dining service the quality and quantity does tend to vary sometimes. For the activities, there are not many that go on, but for the value for cost it is very comfortable. Based on the experience I have had, I would recommend this community to others.
