Juniper Communities

I moved my mom from another facility that was not meeting her needs. My mom moved into Memory Care here and she was loved there, which meant the world to me. While she was there, the facility lost the memory care director and there was a noticeable loss of activities and a certain amount of chaos that followed (which leads to my fewer-stars reviews above) but even WITH all that, she was loved and cared for well. My mom passed away there, and in her last days many of her caregivers came in on their OWN time to see how she was doing and to say goodbye. As with any place, you have to ask questions and follow up on things, but Emeritus was a great gift to us.

My mother has been here since Sept,2011. They will only continue with here if she goes into Memory Care We can't afford them now.

They're doing a great job. Most of the staff are really friendly. They could use a little more variety and frequency of activities, in the dementia area they don't have someone that just specifically does activities. The activities could use some help. The food has been good and the laundry is good. Overall I am happy with Emeritus, the only thing I would say is that they could use a little more specialized training for those that work with the dementia residents. The director Ann is so dedicated, and works so hard, but she is mostly just for the independent and assisted side.

Unfortunately my loved one was only here a short time, but I feel like overall Juniper Village gave us a good experience while she was there. It was a nice looking community, and the staff all seemed very friendly. They're worth a look if you are searching for senior care for a loved one.

I visited this community for my mother. I really loved the community property and they had plenty of parking. I am EMT and has been in this field for 20 – 25 years. I have seen many communities over time, so my awareness is very sharp. I looked at both a single room and a shared room for mom. The shared room was the best choice in my opinion. My mother is very social and the size of the room is much bigger. The amentias at Emeritus are quite amazing, I was very impressed with their care services. On the day I visited I saw a word activity in session and could see how the person hosting this mind exercise made everyone feel included. My overall impression was this place is a wonderful place to retire. I never saw anyone left alone, the staff seemed very friendly and the residence looked happy!

We are really happy. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. They are quick to respond to concerns and requests. They have so many activities, flower arranging, she made a dish. It's lovely. My mom is not someone who usually participates, but she has been here. I think she is liking the food. I would really like to give a shout out to Barbara Farrington with A Place For Mom, she was wonderful in helping us to find this place.

Friendly staff, good range of residents, decent size rooms. Single story.

We've used this place for both assisted living, and later memory care, Overall I think they do a good job with both care types. They're very attentive and hands on, and whenever I visit it's very reassuring to see how often they'll check in on her. One thing I'd say they could improve in both the assisted living and memory care sections would be to have activities more frequently, they seem a little lacking, currently.

Carla did a great job showing me around - their rooms are small and above Mom's price range. I liked the fact that it is assisted living and skilled nursing all in one place and that you can go in as independent llving as well. Good options, just not for my mom.

I'd give them a three for the food. The thing we have had the most frustration with, is understanding what the different care levels offer and knowing what is supposed to happen and making sure they do happen. They had a memory care unit which was a big factor in our decision, that and location.

This is a nice place, overall. It is clean, looks nice, and the staff have all been friendly. They provide a good variety of activities, and while the price is high, it seems to be competitive with others in the area.

She had been there for 6/7 years. I found it a bit chilly, the people were certainly approachable but I found it very formal as a place. I would have had to pay privately for an aide 24 hours, and that was one of the reasons that I didn't keep her there. Plus, I wanted her closer to me. I think one of the things that really annoyed me was that the director did not tell me that there was any possibility for Medicaid even after my mother had paid privately for years. I was told by someone in the healthcare industry that that was wrong, and that I could have talked to Medicaid. That seemed really unfair.

The staff here are all very friendly, and Bonnie, the contact person, in particular is fabulous. She's a really warm person, and very easy to talk to. All the staff seem caring, and willing to accommodate the needs of their residents. I feel like the food could use a bit of work, the best Dad ever has to say about it is that it is "okay". I've also heard complaints that they can seem a bit understaffed during off hours.

The staff was wonderful from the first phone call. They were very frank and honest when asked questions about their limitations. When asked for specific examples of a possible reason that would require mom to be moved once again to another facility, they were able to give me specific examples. This was very improtant and helpfull in my decision making. Mom has only been there three weeks, but her transition has been smooth so far. She is doing well there so far. Very happy with my decision.

This is a fantastic community! I was really impressed right from the start by almost everything about it. It looks great, and is very clean, the staff is wonderful, the care seems great, and they provide all sorts of activities to keep the residents busy. Also, the food is fantastic! We were very happy to find such a nice place that was also so convenient for us to get to.

Everything at this community looked great, very clean and nice looking, and the staff were very friendly during our tour. The only problem we had was that the residents and the activities were more laid-back than we were wanting. We were hoping for somewhere with very active residents since my Mom is active herself. Otherwise, everything looked perfectly fine!

Everything at this community seemed fine, no issues regarding cleanliness or staff, but nothing in particular grabbed me. We toured quite a few, and found one we liked more at a better price.

Liked the facility and staff. Good location.

Most promising, Location could be a deal breaker

Nice. Clean. Locked door into Memory Care. Large fenced in back yard. Two choice for main dishes. Toast at seven, Breakfast at 9:30. Twice a week field trips.
