Tour of Edencrest

I toured Edencrest at Siena Hills when searching for an Assisted Living facility for my loved one. This facility was nice, but it seemed a little bit dated. However, it was more expensive than some of the other facilities that I toured. They didn't have the type of apartment that my loved one wanted anyway, so I continued on with my search.

The staffing levels are sometimes an issue and can effect the care that they can provide. The staff they do have is great, but level of staff skills varies. I would suggest more events that include families.

Edencrest at Siena Hills

Edencrest is understaffed and they need more help. The girls that worked there and worked with me were fabulous, but the people in their memory care facility were hired from an outside firm. They had to bring staff in because they are so understaffed, because of that his care wasn't as good as it should have been. When I argued with them about this they were very accommodating, willing to listen, and did make some changes. Anyone that puts a family member in a care facility should have a camera in their room. No one takes care of your family member like you will take care of them. If I didn't have a camera in the room, that would've been a sin to me. For me to be able to watch the camera and call in to say he's on the floor or he needs this and that, is invaluable. They're supposed to check on him every 30 minutes, but that wasn't happening because they were so understaffed. The girls in the unit that were there, kind of just sat on their phones. If I was an elderly person and one of the residents who live in their little apartments, I'd rate that a 10/10, as they are looked after. The people in the dementia hall need more attention because they don't have a voice. Assisted living residents can speak up and say what they want or need. There were family members who didn't visit their loved ones in memory care, so they didn't get as much attention. I, personally, visited my loved one often and was bathing him 3 times a week. Although I was paying the [price removed], I was basically the one caring for him (aside from nighttime). I've been to three different facilities with different loved ones, and it's all the same thing. They're all understaffed and if the family doesn't participate in their loved one's care, they're going to get what they get.

Not The Care The Family Gave, Don't Hit the Mark On Common Sense for Assisted Living

The common areas are really clean. It doesn't seem like the residents don't get a lot of support of cleaning in their apartments. I would suggest you continue to be an advocate for your family member after move-in. I wish the staff would reach out more for needs of our loved ones, and any questions or concerns.

Good experience

We chose Edencrest because my father wanted a smaller facility to be in. We had one of the smallest apartment sizes that they offer, but they have various sizes to choose from. With covid everything was limited but overall I would recommend to others looking

Great staff

We chose Edencrest at Siena Hills because of the friendly staff members. They are always helpful and more than willing to answer any questions or concerns that you may have. I do think they could use better quality foods on the meals that they serve. Overall I would recommend to others who are looking.

I'm Confident That Beaverdale is Delivering the Best Care For My Mom

There are activities that are still going on outside for the residents. They have had musicians, balloon artists come in, along with other activities performing outside of the community. I would recommend this community to friends. We are able to have window visits. My loved one doesn't think the food is the best.

A Place I Would Want to Go, If Needed

They are a very welcoming and friendly community. The community cares about the residents. The communication has been good. Edencrest was good at keeping us updated with COVID. The food was amazingly good, wide selections, and good quality. Prior to COVID I was able to eat a few meals with my loved one.

This community made the transitions very informative and compassionate

Edencrest community felt more like a resort appearance, it did not have that industrial hospital feel to it. They have a nice assortment of rooms to choose from. Our loved one had a kitchen area, a living room area, and a bedroom. They have tried to keep some activities going during this time, they are really trying their best to keep the residents active and engaged. Over the summer they did an inside little state fair with small contests. They also brought in musicians to play outside so the residents could open up their windows and listen to them play.

The facility is new and very clean. The personnel were very pleasant and were quick to answer any questions we had. There will be more questions when we make a return tour with Mother to get her reaction. I was impressed with the overall facility.

Location Is Perfect

We toured a few different communities and they were all very nice and offered what we were looking for but this one had the location going for it the location is much closer to us than any of the others. The staff is very friendly and caring. Dad seems to be happy here he is slowly starting to socialize more and hopefully it will increase as time goes by. He hasn't complained about the food so I am assuming he is liking it. We are very pleased with this community and the care he is getting.

A great looking place

This community was our second choice. The staff we met were friendly and answered our questions. The community seemed clean and they seem to offer some nice amenities and activities. This community did not have the skilled nursing care that my loved one required so we chose a community that offered this.

I took a few tours with one being of Edencrest at Green Meadows. This place was nice, it was clean and everyone from the most part was friendly. Some of the places, though, would not call me back after they evaluated my mother which was very discouraging.

They Really Care About Their Residents at This Community

My father at this moment is in rehab, but once he gets better he will be returning back to this community. This is a good, safe community, and I'am comfortable with him returning. They are taking good care of him, and his needs. They have a really good staff at this community. They are helpful, and kind. They do a good job keeping the facility, and his room well-kept. They really care about their residents at this facility. This is a community I would recommend, it is a nice place.
