Anthology Senior Living

I’ve only been here one month. I’m impressed by how kind and helpful the staff are. I feel as though I’m living at a 5??????????hotel, all staff as well as residents show such respect and kindness. Best decision I made since the birth of my sweet daughter.

Over a year ago I started researching senior living places. I studied numerous brochures, and actually visited 10 places. After living for 49 years in our home, this move was going to be a huge change for us. I kept in contact with Aleathea while Anthology was under construction. We were so impressed just walking into the lobby that very first time that we knew it would be our “forever home”. It is light, bright and cheery! Not only the staff but also the residents are so welcoming. The food is way too good here! The kitchen staff go out of their way to please you. Everyone knows your name after a very short time, and we are all “family”. There are so many activities here, and they provide entertainment on a weekly basis. The staff goes out of their way to assist you with anything you need. We felt we were 1-2 years away from moving, but after touring we actually moved only 10 days later. We absolutely love our new home. ?? It is perfect! Stop in to see us while you are on tour.

The staff is very good about one on one so that no individual ever feels left out or alone. Really, our one concern has been about the state of mind about the other residents. Our mom has dementia but she is friendly and not grumpy. Some of the residents can become angry/violent. Our mom is not that way. That's been a benefit of being there in the early stages of this facility- as they fill it will be harder to provide one on one care.

Experience has been good. However being new, they are working out some of the kinks. There are also more charges on some things starting next month.

The staff at Anthology are friendly and exceptionally helpful, however I have gotten the impression that the coordination between staff members is lacking in communication between office personnel. The biggest problem here at Anthology is the food service. In my opinion it would be more cost effective to hire one professional chef than to hire three novices that you think can be trained. Someone who has the experience and expertise of managing a restaurant and staff. Several times Pork Tenderloin is listed on the menu. It is obvious that no one even knows what this cut of meat is, because this isn’t what is being served. Several residents have tried to e helpful with suggestions which apparently fall on deaf ears. We were promised “Gourmet meals” which we are obviously not receiving.

Since this is a brand new facility, just opened in April, 2024, there are only 18 residents in the Independent Living building. With so few residents we are pretty spoiled as far as service levels and many of the amenities. After getting to know the staff and directors, we do not expect the level of service to change as more residents move in. As far as the Assisted Living building, the residents seem very pleased with their helpers, but since we do not live in that building, we cannot speak directly regarding their level of service, etc.

My Mom moved into Anthology [date removed]. The move was seemless and her transition after living by herself for 14 was so nice to see. Everyone on the staff is so nice and they really attend to her every need. She met lots of nice people their. They were very smart in the way they made the facility they put all the money on the inside. The building is well made and the finishes top notch. Lots of activities and things to do. The food is good too. I was able to retire and buy a place at the coast knowing she is well taken care of. She wishes she would have moved 10 years ago.

Fairly good
