Positive

I have lived at South Hills for a little over two years. It's a friendly community of folks. The meals are exceptional. I have a lovely apartment with lots of windows. I have a small kitchenette but a nearby large community room with a full kitchen is available when I want to cook more. My cat is a great companion and is quite a novelty here because he is leash trained.

I visited this facility

South Hills Senior Living was very comfortable. I found that independent living almost seemed to have a standard for their size rooms and their kitchenette areas and such, so I felt they were all comparable to each other. I don't believe they had health care, so it was another one you could bring in your own if you needed. I met very pleasant people who were very helpful in answering questions and such.

Great Place, Totally Recommend

They offers numerous levels of care. We love it. Nothing but good things to say about them. They live apartment style with a variety of all different levels of care. My loved one is able to keep her hobbies and bring them along with her.

Would definitely recommend

The quality of the building itself and the care really stood out to our family. The friendliness of the staff members is a 5+, we aren't to sure on the meals but everything in regards to the activities has been pretty good so far.

Mom is thriving

We are very very happy here at Rosewood Estate. It is a unique model, because it allows you to choose how much care you want to use. They encourage you to use that level of care. The difference in the number of falls is radically different that at her prior facility. The staff members are just so kind and compassionate with the residents. My mother has not complained at all and she looks younger since she has been here receiving their care. I would highly recommend them to others who are looking.
