Sagora Senior Living

Was glad mom and dad found a place they love and the ppl are so nice

Since the first visit 4.5 months ago with [name removed] we knew this was where out Mother should move to. Our Mother was also extremely pleased during her visit and excited to move. Since that time I can say my Mother in law, my wife, and myself have been welcomed with open arms by all the management, staff, and residents. Our Mother has thrived and recommends the Reniassance to all her friends. One has already moved in. The food is very good, clean eating area, and the servers are very polite. If your looking for a place where your family member can thrive and enjoy theirselves this is the place for them.

I can’t speak for other retirement homes, but I can for Prairie Rose. A few days ago, my wife was exercising by walking the hallways. She lost her balance and fell, hitting her head on an open door. Head wounds bleed profusely, add blood thinner medication and she was in a very serious situation. The Prairie Rose maintenance man who was nearby heard her fall and came to investigate. He immediately started working on stopping blood loss and continued to work until medics arrived. One of the home health service people, who have an office in Prairie Rose, was also in the area. She came to get me and called 911. Within a few minutes, the assistant manager and another home health care person were there helping. Because the Prairie Rose staff and home health care people knew how to handle the emergency, my wife will be coming home in a couple of days with a few stitches instead of facing a more serious life-threatening situation. I don’t have a magic wand which will tell you if other retirement homes have that type personnel. I can tell you; here at Prairie Rose, my family no longer has that worry.

We moved into our two bedroom apartment in December 2017. We needed a place that would make life easier for us -- the 3-bedroom home we had was becoming more than we could handle alone. From the first the staff surprised us. We have a small dog who really thought we moved so she could be with more people, but the staff treats her like a resident too. This is because they care about how WE feel, what OUR needs are, and how can they best meet those needs. In our fifty years together, this is the best move we have ever made. The residents have become like family to us. Everyone gets along well together. Everyone respects the views of the other residents (at least all of the ones we have met and interacted with). AND there is lots of opportunity to meet and talk, in the Dining Room, in the Halls, at the Dog Park, along the sidewalks throughout the complex, and on the veranda or in the Courtyards of the Apartment Complex. Activities are planned often around the requests of the resident(s). It is our belief that we have made our last move and to a place that is most wonderful for and to us.

Big thank you to Rio Terra and their entire staff for such great service, cleanliness and honesty for my parents. We can’t be more happy with all they do for each of us in the family. So much care and sincerity!

Rio Terra has been and continues to be an amazing opportunity for my mom to live in an atmosphere of wonderful residents and staff. She is content, busy and quite happy. I am so thankful to have found Rio Terra for her. The staff truly care about every single resident every single day.

For whatever reason, our bus driver was not here today. That didn’t stop our busy bee staff, using either personal or rental cars, our staff took residents to doctor appointments or wherever. You can’t find better employees than that – reminded me of my days in the military.

So nice!! People are wonderful. Clean place.

Staff is always super nice and accommodating.

Brand new resident! Love it here!

Happy living here. I like the people here. Enjoy the activities.

Lakeshore estates is a warm and welcoming community. The staff and residents treat each other like family. The dining services are excellent. The food is hot and exciting.

I love this community. We have lived here for nearly 5 years. All the staff is wonderful. This is our home, and would not want to ever leave, till called home to be with my Lord.

I like living here very much. It is a very nice and friendly place to be living in. All the employees are very very nice. It is just a very wonderful place to be living in.

I've lived here going on three years and loved every moment. I celebrate my 100th birthday on [date removed] and the whole community celebrated with me.

I love living here and all the people are great to be with. The employees are the most.

Very Nice Bldg and facility. Clean with friendly staff.

Those of us who live in the Prairie Rose retirement home spend a good part of everyday eating -- about six hours a day. Trip to the dining room, finding a table, getting something to drink, checking the menu, ordering, eating and then trip back to the apartment. It is apparent whoever designed the serving process knew a lot about food preparation and delivery. I am impressed with how the serving process works. Starting times are essential, everything else feeds from that. Meals are served in courses (like the French). First comes drinks, then appetizers, next is the main meal followed by dessert. They have two menus, one changes every day, the other is “always available.” I occasionally order from the changing menu but prefer the always menu for a couple of reasons. One, I have tried everything on the always menu and all are good. Second, after many years in the military, I understand that anything cooked specifically for me instead of for a group is going to be fresher, if not better. Regardless, whichever menu you choose from I think you will be satisfied. They also have a procedure where on even calendar days they start taking orders at one end of the room, odd days at the other end. Food is very good, if you leave hungry, it is your fault. My “Patience of Job” title is in reference to our management, kitchen and young wait staff. I am a people watcher and have yet to see the wait staff get frustrated or annoyed. Management constantly moving through the dining area keeping everything cool. Is everything perfect – no! Do meals get mixed up – yes! However, if something is wrong with your meal, they will quickly fix it or replace it. I am impressed!

Social Butterfly or Loner a Retirement Home can work for you I am a little bit of a loner, give me a computer with internet access, an e-reader, a quiet spot and I am happy. My wife on the other hand is a real social butterfly, she loves to mingle, play bingo and just do some old fashion socializing. I had some concern that there would be enough activity to keep her happy in a retirement home. That fear vanished quickly. If you like a lot of activity or just be by yourself, Prairie Rose has it – your choice. Bingo (3 times each week) Play cards Play Dominoes Vendors sit up in the lobby several times a month Musical performances weekly. Everything from solo musicians to country/western groups Church services and choirs Trips to stores, events and restaurants That is just scratching the surface. If activity is one of your concerns, at least in this retirement home it shouldn’t be.

Positive environment, friendly staff and safe
