MBK Senior Living

I don't really have anything to compare it to but I haven't run into any major issues. The people are great. My biggest struggle has been trying to deal with medications and pharmacies. I'll get questions from their med techs and I just don't know what to do with them. Both of my parents love it there. They're very happy with their room. We looked at other places and the rooms at Oakdale are spacious and private. It has everything they need. The other places were just like a rectagluar box but this place has a bedroom portion and a living room portion - the layout is nice.

Clean, friendly, secure, almost affordable, proximity, definitely a candidate. Rating 4 stars

My experience with this community ranges from 2001 - 2005 so it might be outdated. Unless they've updated the facilities, getting air conditioning was really difficult. They didn't have air conditioning in the rooms. My mom lived there and she said the food was pretty good. It needed some facility updates but overall it was pretty good.

The Chancellor Gardens is close to our home so it is convenient for family. The memory care unit is very spacious and has a very good setup. Would like if they took the residents outside for a little fresh air every once in a while. But overall we are happy with them and our loved one is happy being here.

We loved the set up of the rooms, the windows and balconies. I liked that they displayed the food choices for the meals. Everyone seemed very nice. The rooms were clean and spacious. The whole center seemed clean. I liked all the different activity rooms and the activities listed in various locations. I loved the emergency pull stations in the bathrooms and bedrooms and the pendant that pages to a nurse. I didn't like that the doors are locked from the outside at 7:30p.m. and if you leave you have to ring the doorbell to get back in. If mom wanders we will have to move her from this location.

tour 6/13 impressive over 5000, labyrinth of hallways..dementia people in the back, nice outdoor areas, good meals, point system for individual needs

This also looked nice: good area and the people we met were nice. I guess there is some question as to whether she could be on the second floor because of her mobility, but she walks around home all the time without any assistance (her walker or otherwise) so I think she could walk down 1 flight of stairs in an emergency. At the Commons there are no balconies. Also, the fridge at the Commons was full size (which I see as a bad thing because my mom really only needs to keeps snacks if she has 3 prepared meals a day in a dining room.) The one activity we say were people playing bingo for money, and my mom doesn't like to gamble at all. There are no doubt lots of activities, but that did come off somewhat negatively. My mom has mixed feelings about set dinning times. She likes the idea of eating when she wants, but the notion of going to a salad bar other people have pawed through for hours sounds yucky. I assume fresh food from the kitchen anytime would be fine with her--this is something we probably need to investigate further.

large, clean, newer facility. Staff was nice.

We liked this facility very much, especially the studio apts. vs. a single room.

Property looks great and amenities very nice.

Liked: Rooms, some views of Mt. Tabor. Hallways had nice carpeting, colors, artwork on walls. Outdoor courtyards nice. Felt comfortable. Tai Chi 1-2 xs/week. Other excercise class in morning. Nice common spaces. 2 "libraries." Didn't like: Some rooms looked over parking lot. Mom concerned about activities not being that interesting to her.

Met with community manager who was very informative and friendly. Residents seemed happy and it smelled good. Not sure this is a good fit for my loved one: no mountain views and a bit pricey for thier income. The facility was very nice because it is a small community.

Many activities; close to local senior center; apartment feel rather than nursing home. Offer a full kitchen with oven. Beautiful. Restaurant style dining with little cafe.

Assisted and independent. Assisted provided by outside caregivers or them. If skilled care or memory support needed, resident has to move to a different facility. Jay says it is a very diverse community in terms of education and geography. Bible study, exercise, lots of cards (dice, etc.) and parties. gathering places bar, bistro, living room Adjacent to a senior center.

Very nice place

Good energy here

This is a very nice facility with nice staff; the place is well maintained and clean. No funny smells. There are many activities available. The food is served restaurant style. This was an impressive way to begin the search for Mom's new living situation. My only concern about this place is that it lacks much opportunity for walking - there is a sidewalk sized short walking path but it seems like there is opportunity for conflict between those using walkers, canes, and/or wheelchairs.

Castle Hill nice, but pricey.

Beautiful facility. All residents happy and involved. Friendly and lots of interaction with the director. Excercise class was well attended. Almost ready to serve lunch, lunch looked delicious - fresh and plentiful.

Very, very nice.
