Finally got my mom out of this place!!!

I would give 5 stars if f everyone were as good and caring as [name removed] . [name removed] front dress is another good one, love her! [name removed] is great as well! As for other caregivers and staff they have many new that are really good as well. So my review is not bad when it comes to the staff. My review is bad because of Corporate! As we all know, don’t roll up hill! This place can NOT keep an ED or a nurse in the facility!!! Most of their great workers don’t stay due to poor management from Corporate!!! …

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mother has moved into Royal Columbian Senior Living for assisted living. It's very clean and it's reasonably priced. There are nice community areas where the residents can gather. They have a great library. I haven't interacted very much with the staff; however, those that I have met I would give a five, just because they're friendly and efficient. Regarding food, they don't have a ton of variety. In other words, they don't have like an extensive menu that you can choose from every …

Changes can happen

Lots of changes over the last year. It’s nice to see everyone smiling and happy. New staff along with the staff that has been there since I moved my parents in. I love the gal that does the activities! She has people in the activity room and the residence love Bingo! ?? I lost my dad [date removed] last year and wrote a bad review which was very appropriate at that time. But the staff that has come through all the changes have been both supportive and very helpful. A year ago I would have turned people away from th…

Frustrating experience

A person dealing dealing with dementia should never be told that they don’t have to give them their medicine because they came back late from an outing w/ family. We never had a meeting because it was cancelled by them to discuss things and if that was how it was to be done, it should be discussed w/ family not being rude to the senior. Also, lack of compassion towards seniors when they tell them they can’t have their animal anymore. The other concern is how long it takes to get help when help call is triggered. Th…

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

If I could give this facility less I would. The staff does not attend to health care needs of the residents. My family member has been there for months now, and there has been no follow-up care to his medical needs. He has not received any specialized care for issues nor and rehabilitation care. They do not have the trained staff to facilitate the attention to residents if they are not able to care for themselves. They do not provide transportation services as specified in the contract and as a few months ago the p…
