Turnaround Solutions

Mallard Point is the best kept secret for independent senior living in the Cedar Falls-Waterloo area. While touring the retirement community with our loved one, she immediately said Mallard Point was the place for her. It was a great sense of relief for her and our family knowing she is in a safe, secure environment surrounded by friendly, kind, and compassionate retirees. The entire Mallard Point team consisting of administration, recreation, maintenance, transportation, food service, and housekeeping has been personal, professional, and top-notch. Knowing our loved one has three balanced meals daily, scheduled recreational activities, weekly housekeeping services, and transportation for shopping and appointments has left her happy and pleased with her decision about moving to Mallard Point. Being matched with an ambassador (aka – welcoming committee) put her mind at ease since she was the new kid on the block. Ambassadors took her under their wing the first few weeks with respect and

We are writing about our almost 4 year experience with our loved one at the Hudson Grande. He has had only the very best of care from the staff, who are wonderful. They knew him and took care of him as if he was their own. The facility was warm, friendly and extremely clean, which is a huge plus. We are so very thankful we stopped into the facility when we did. We were blessed to have it and so was our loved one, now no longer with us.

We absolutely love how Anthology at Burlington Creek takes care of our mom. I love how everyone seems to know my mom. They call her by name when they see her. They are welcoming when I stop by and are always willing to talk with me as a friend. I love the updates o get when my mom participates in activities and love to be able to see what her favorite activities are that she attends. It's a warm and welcoming environment with patient and caring people.

While my mother was moved to Kentridge Senior Living, there was a stomach virus developing in the facility. My mother was kept in her room 24/7 with only the nurse passing meds and meals brought to her. She was too weak to feed herself and could not go to the bathroom by herself. She would call me at my home and I'd have to call Kentridge to get help to her. They were understaffed and couldn't go in and visit her for a few minutes. I feel that if they had more staff they could have taken better care of her (her call button didn't work while she was there). I would only recommend this facility if they had more staff. The dining room and menus looked great and so did the games/activities. Bad thing is, my mother didn't get to use anything.

We picked this community for numerous things...first the staff was extremely friendly and attentive to residents. The facility is warm and welcoming. The apartments are very nice. The sales staff were not typical "sales staff". They were very informative and cared about helping us make a good decision that would be in my mom's best interest not just make the sale.

We toured The Boulevard Senior Living of Wentzville when searching for an Assisted Living facility for my mother. We had a great tour! This facility was very clean. Everyone here was friendly and nice.

The staff--from the executive director, to the admissions counselor, to the nursing staff--all are awesome communicators and immediately responsive to questions/concerns we had while transitioning my brother from a SNF to assisted living. I feel confident in the care my brother is receiving, as staff check on him several times a day. Carriage Court is immaculately maintained. It feels like an upscale hotel, with its large always-burning fireplace in the lobby/gathering space. The dining room is open pretty much all day and has a generous menu on each table from which residents may pick and choose. My brother is extremely fond of his morning omelet. There's also a snack bar and a constant supply of hot coffee in the snack area. There are Happy Hours at which special food treats are served; these serve as a nice social time for residents to come together. I know there are lots of entertainment and recreational opportunities available..The reception desk staff are very welcoming and seem to know all the residents by name. There's one gentleman who works the desk that is particularly kind. The maintenance person, [name removed], has been extremely helpful in making sure that my brother is comfortable in his room, and stops just to chat with him at breakfast. Everyone's so personable! Especially key to insuring that everything is top-notch care-wise is [name removed] on the nursing staff. I just get such a warm feeling from the people at Carriage Court. They make it feel like home, all the way down to the rocking chairs on the porch.

Our loved one likes it there and the staff members are super friendly. What we really like most about the community is the ability for our loved one to have her care there which is a huge plus. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend the Holiday Montvale Estates to other families.

What our family likes the most about the Anthology of Town & Country is the great line of communication the staff members have. They are all considered a family when taking care of our loved one. Based on our experience we have had so far, we would absolutely recommend this community to other families looking into the community.

Staff is great, food is wonderful. Activities seem engaging and of course it costs too much, but is a good value. She really appreciates the kindness and attention as well as very good food. For me, I am grateful for the security. I certainly do recommend it.

Our loved one has not passed, but our family was very impressed wit the University Senior Living community. The serenity of the design, the cat, the genial and the understanding of the staff was something we really appreciated.

I have been coming to Anthology of Wildwood for 3 years. I visit Assisted Living and senior living communities in The St. Louis area often, seeing friends and family. I love walking into this community. I love talking to staff, to residents, and to visitors. Just being there, makes me feel good. It is a beautiful community. I always. Say I feel like. I am in Aspen, minus the mountains.:) But No matter how clean or nice and attractive Anthology of Wildwood is, it is the way it feels and the dedication to creating an environment of love, compassion, friendliness, concern, and quality care that just makes you feel like you are at home, with family and friends.The food is great too! So are the parties! So much fun! I love this place!

I am very thankful places like Anthology of Wildwood exist. This place is filled with caring people who make my mom, with memory issues, feel at home. From admission to move-in and everyday since, [name removed] has been the most empathetic and informative resource. When you walk in the building, you can feel a sense of pride the employees have to work there. It really shines through with everyone you come in contact with. The amenities, activities and memory care tools are above and beyond. All of these things and more are while my mom’s transition to Anthology of Wildwood has been the best I could have hoped for. Come check this place out, you won’t be disappointed!

We spoke with several communities before we contacted Anthology of Wildwood. Their marketing director is experienced & so caring! She was able to answer all of our questions & put us at ease that we were doing the right thing. We knew that this was the place for our mother, but more importantly, our mother is so happy living there! Thank you to all the staff for making her feel so welcome & loved!

I have had the privilege to meet on several occasions the staff at Anthology Wildwood and visit their community. From the moment you arrive and the reception you receive from the staff, the community teems with energy and thoughtful care. [name removed], [name removed], [name removed] and so many others genuinely care about their residence and the day to day experience for them living in the community. I look forward to my next visit at Anthology Wildwood!

I would tell others looking that if their loved one gets to the point where they need 2 aides at a time for dressing, bathing, or changing diapers, the cost can increase substantially. The chef is available for "catering". We celebrated my mom's birthday right at the facility, which made things a lot easier on us. I would most definitely recommend The Kentridge Senior Living.

The food is top-notch at The Parkway Senior Living. It would have been a deal breaker for my dad, had it not been. The staff is friendly. We had some issues with move in -no cable box and hook up for 6 days. I had to go get a box myself at XFINITY. Why didn't they? Communication between them was rough at first. Now things are better. The place is nice and clean. He likes how he can have his meals any time between 7-7:00. I would definitely recommend this facility to others.

We picked this community, because my mom liked the new, fresh, clean environment. Nice, simple decorating. I would recommend The Madison

The memory care team does an amazing job helping their residents feel loved, valued and useful. Staff helps female residents do their hair, makeup and nails trying to allow them to maintain the routine they used to have. They insure that they have on clean clothing. Everything the staff does is done with the mindset of preserving the dignity of their residents. They treat them as members of their own family.

CedarStone is a great place for a loved one. The staff are very caring. They make my family and friends feel very welcomed. And the food is great too!
