Review for University Pines by Sky Active Living

Everything has been great. I feel welcomed, and the staff is very respectful and works hard. I have all the room I need, given my situation. From [name removed], down, the staff seems to really care. I am not sure I understand the expectations for the weekly room cleanings.

A great place to live

The staff are great. They are always helpful and friendly. The activities leave a lot to be desired. The Bingo for instance if you Bingo the choices of prizes are a small tube of toothpaste, small deodorant, small package of tissues. Obviously their funds are not much. The apartments are pretty nice. But very expensive. Inside of the building are keep pretty clean. But the outside could be better. What I was the most disappointed was the meals. The chefs are doing their best, but they are held to a very tight budget. For example , they requested , small bags of potato chips to be served with the sandwiches. They were denied. They were to buy big bag of potato chips and just put handful of potato chips on the plate with the sandwiches. You have your apartment cleaned once a week and they do a great job. The bus that we have is very good. If you need to go to the doctor or go shopping, the bus driver is great and takes you and picks you up when finished. Over all for me University Pines is a B. This is an independent living facility, so don't expect any personal help. There is not a nurse or doctor on site. A hospital is close by.

Awesome experience

The overall experience has been awesome. The only issues that I have had is sometimes they are short staffed and it takes a very long time to get the meals after you order them. Also, I had an issue where my silverware was dirty and I did address it with [name removed] and I'm pretty sure he got it straight. I hope because I haven't had any more dirty silverware. Sometimes I don't know what activities are happening because I don't get any kind of a schedule. I am totally blind and I don't know what activities are happening besides the usual every day ones. But everybody is super nice and super friendly and everybody is awesome. I really enjoy being here. I have had a problem getting a refund that has been owed to me for quite a while and they has not done it yet and I was supposed to get a free month of rent and they took the money out anyway and so I'm supposed to get a refund and still hasn't happened so that's not cool.

It is great here, but not perfect. But neither is anywhere else. I really appreciate the positive staff that help each other out. And help the residents always. They always put the residents first. I'm very comfortable here. After all, it is what you make it

a good place during bad time

I really like the room. Even though it is just a studio, the way it is shaped helps it feel like the bedroom is more private. I must say, I have not met much of the staff or other residents. Five days after moving in here, my husband went into the hospital, ten days after that he died. The staff has been nothing but helpful and caring. My family has all commented on how nice this place looks.

I have challenges with their accounts and billing so it took them a few months to get resolved but other than that I had an overall positive experience.

Would highly recommend

The management is extremely friendly and helpful. They , along with the staff, made my mother immediately feel accepted, wanted, and made her comfortable. This was the first time she had moved away from her home area in 85 years, so this was huge. The facility is very nice, week kept, clean and beautiful and always has a very warm and positive atmosphere.

Nice community with room for improvement.

Has had big turnover of management in the last 2 years. My MIL doesn't seem to like any of the food. I have eaten there a couple times and the food is ok, but nothing really to rave about. The community as a whole is good. All one facility so no going to different buildings as in other facilities.

I would recommend them

All of the 7 categories mentioned above in addition to friendliness of the people that live there have contributed to us having a great experience. Yes I would absolutely recommend them. Everyone from management to maintenance to cleaning to transportation to culinary to the people that live at University Pines have taken my Mom in as family and as if they have known her all her life and made her transition there so much easier and pleasant. I feel so secure and happy that she is able to be in such a truly wonderful place.

Great Facility

I would say a 5 on all but number 5. On meals and dining, the food is great, but because of staffing shortages it is not uncommon for dad to wait an hour after sitting before food arrives. Overall University Pines has been great. And the waiting has been an occasion for my dad to practice patience.
