We like them. I like that it was small. I like that they had their own chef in-house instead of having meals brought in. The only problem was, my mother is diabetic and her A1c level is 8 which we finally understood no one's going to take her. We met the nurse, Patrick, and Lisa who showed us the rooms. Everyone we met seemed super nice. We were prepared to put her there; they just weren't prepared to take her. At the time, there were about three tables full of women playing bingo. It seemed like they had a lot of activities going, but that wasn't something my mother was interested in. She's not a social person. I was more concerned with someone coming and getting her and taking her to dinner. The rooms were nice. For assisted living, you're not gonna get major fancy, but they were plain nice enough to live in.

My mother has moved into here. It's been an excellent experience. They're very efficient, very caring, and a lot of help. She seems to like the food. Everything seems to be fine. They have a lot of activities, and she's participating in all of them.

My mom has moved into here. They have a very friendly staff and they really care about their residents. My mom has been very happy with her stay. They have great food. I really feel that they try to get the residents involved in stuff, like getting them out of their rooms. They're about to have a Grandparents Day parade, so they really try to make sure that it's going to be where they stand outside, so there's social distance, and everyone's keeping a good, safe distance away from everyone that's going to come. They try to get the families involved and it's really nice. All the families are invited to join the parade. We'll just walk through and wave at them just to see them, but a distance away from them. I thought that was pretty fun because it's going to boost their spirits and just be fun. The food is really good and they have a big variety, so they don't repeat the meals often. They rotate them pretty much where they don't feel like they're eating the same thing all the time. My mom said that she's eaten everything so far, and that says a lot. She has a standard sized room. One of the staff members, Hilda, is one of my favorites, and she's one of my mom's favorites, too. She is a very nice person. She knows how to talk with my mom at the same level and in a way that's not condescending. She is a very sweet woman. Like my mom calls me because sometimes she forgets the things that are available or forgets that she has things there, and then I call her up and Hilda makes sure she will take care of it. She does a really good job.

My mother is in Southridge Place. It's close to where she had already lived. She had gotten sick, and with all this COVID stuff, I started looking online. The staff contacted me, and they were really nice on the phone, and very helpful. They seemed OK with her, and so far, it's been OK. The staff has been great. Mother has a dog, and they help take her dog in and out. They've been really helpful to me. I think she's gotten better since she's been there. They bring three meals and two snacks to her a day. When we were moving her in, they brought in lunch, and it really looked good; it was healthy. So far, I'm really pleased with them. I met the nurse named Patrick, and Lisa who helped me on the phone and the virtual tour; she was great, as was the director.
