Mom would have chosen Modena herself.....
Overall very happy with Modena It was expensive but worth it I felt like the caregivers truly cared for the residents. The rooms were lovely. It was a very classy place that I know my mom would have loved if she was capable of deciding for herself

The tour was very informative. The person conducting the tour was thorough and hospitable. She took the amount of time needed to explain every thing. She even took me on a side trip to the Cafe and Farmer's Market. It gave me a good idea of the area of Assisted Living for Modena.

The advisor I worked with from A Place for Mom with was very helpful and sent me information that I requested -was very pleasant and courteous and prompt- all of which a person likes to see when working with an agency. It is a very nice place. The food and service are excellent and I find the staff very courteous and helpful whenever I need to engage them.

Staff was always there when needed. The staff were very friendly, courteous, professional, and they treated my mother-in-law as a family member. We weren't just a number, they took the effort to know us.

Very good experience with all staff. The moving process was efficient and meds for my Mom were set up quickly. Very friendly staff. Excellent meals. Paying a bit more than some other places for this quality of care and attention is worth it

The facility promised us they could handle anything with my wife with Lewy body. Sales pitch. They couldn't after three weeks. I had to hire full time aides ON TOP of the facility cost. When we left after 8 months to a residential care home for [name removed] end, [name removed] didn't even ask why. Went silent. Nor did they ask how my experience was. Outrageous given the quarter million we spent, half to them.

I loved Modena for mom. Sadly she was only there for 3 mos before she passed. I had terrible experiences with JSSA hospice. If i ever had an issue it was never about the care other than JSSA hospice who were extremely disappointing. My issues were more about maintenance/ room stuff and they were always addressed and remedied quickly. If i had the finances I would love to one day reside at Modena!

I actually would not recommend the facility for assisted living. They are under staffed and I had to take over and stay on top of them to get my the correct care. They didn't bathe my mom for weeks.

I think all 7 categories meet the mark, but they should, since this an upscale facility and more costly than others. The staff is terrific. My wife has difficult Lewy body dementia and the facility does well. I'm happy with it.

My mother-in-law has been at Modena Reserve almost 2.5 months. The staff has been extremely friendly, caring, and have gone out of their way to make my mother-in-law as comfortable as possible. Responding to her needs has been outstanding. I not sure if it is a good thing, but they all know her name. That always creates a smile on her face. Our family is fortunate knowing our mother is in great hands…..thank you!

I was very happy with our time at Modena. The receptionists- [names removed] and others were always welcoming. [name removed] especially touched my heart with her kindness. The caregivers were patient, sweet and loving and the admin staff; [names removed]went above and beyond to see that any of our concerns were addressed quickly and to our satisfaction. They were always communicative- something that JSSA hospice was NOT! [name removed] was also very supportive. Going to visit mom each afternoon became a part of my daily routine. I will miss the other residents their families and the staff Ive met and come to know at Modena.

We have had a positive experience at Modena so far. They have been responsive when we have asked for certain things for my mom. We selected this community because the facility is only three years old. It's beautiful, clean and the staff are pleasant. The residents that live there seem to be very happy as well.

My loved one really enjoys living at Modena Reserve at Kensington. The staff made the move in process very easy. Our contacts were available whenever we needed assistance. For instance, they recommended a notary for us and served as witnesses when we had to have some legal forms signed. The maintenance person also installed the TV (not easy!) and a helped with few other things as well. The facility is lovely - we think it looks more like a sophisticated hotel. It's in an urban area, so if you want lots of hiking trails, it's probably not the best choice. But the area around the facility has been beautifully landscaped, with a fountain and nice outdoor seating areas as well. My loved one's view is wonderful - right out on the fountain with plants and greenery around. They offer many activities for the residents in many categories- exercise, movies, live music. What we hadn't seen at other facilities is that the Modena also capitalizes on the unique experience and capabilities of their residents (former judges, professors, etc) who give lectures and lead discussions on interesting current or historical events. I think that was a key reason we chose Modena for my loved one. My loved one really enjoys living here. She says that the food is excellent and the people are very friendly. It's not inexpensive, but there's a lot of value for the money. We're very happy that my loved one lives here! We would definitely recommend Modena Reserve at Kensington to others!

It was very nice but not the most expensive. closer to my home than the others. Also, liked that it also has independent living, so my mom can interact with all kinds of people. Really positive experience so far. The facility is beautiful. Food is very good. And the care has been good. They're responsive to feedback.
