"Disappointing Memory Care Facility Experience; Found Better Care Elsewhere"
The place wasn't like they said. My loved one had Alzheimer's and they said there'd be things to do, but when I visited, people were just sitting in front of the TV, looking out of it. At night, there were only two people working and they told me I needed to hire someone to watch over my loved one, which would have cost a lot extra on top of what we were already paying. I found another place that was much better and cheaper too. They actually knew how to take care of people with Alzheimer's without charging extra, and they had lots of stuff to do every day. I was so happy to find it!

"Cozy, caring staff, all-inclusive costs; small memory care rooms."
This place feels cozier than the bigger facilities we visited. The staff are really caring and patient. The cost for memory care is all-inclusive, which is nice compared to paying extra for care on top of rent. I didn’t give a full 5 stars because the rooms in the memory care unit are pretty small.

"Good care home, mixed staff quality, overall satisfied."
Right now, my mother is recovering from an accident and is in rehab. I'm comfortable with her returning to the care home. She has mixed feelings about the staff—some are really good, while others need more training. Overall, they are taking good care of her and meeting her needs. This is a pretty good care home, and I would recommend it.

"Precious Heirloom Lost: Disappointing Assisted Living Experience"
My mom’s diamond ring vanished from her finger. She’s in memory care, can’t talk or walk anymore. Her rings were too tight. When the wedding ring also seemed lost, my dad had to remove it. The facility’s response? Things happen. Our family is heartbroken over this heirloom.

"Clean, Friendly, and Lots of Activities"
We picked Truewood by Merrill because it was clean and the staff were really nice. The place looks great and the location works well for me. The rooms are a good size. My mom loved the food at first, but now she complains about it a lot. They offer a lot of activities, and I wish my mom would join in more and make some friends. I would recommend this place to others.

"Mixed Feelings About Assisted Living Community"
I believe it's a nice community, but the staff could use more training. If your family member requires advanced care, this might not be the right place. I'd recommend it to other families based on their loved one's needs. We picked this community because of a nurse's recommendation.

""Declining Care at LBC Leads to Frustration and Desire to Move""
My grandma spent over five years at LBC and now she wants to leave. The care, meals, service, and actives have gotten really bad. They've messed up her medication a lot of times. Sometimes, the CNAs take medicine from one patient's cart to give to another when the head nurse forgets to order more. There aren't enough staff members so patients often don't get their medication on time. Morning medicine is given at lunch and everyone has to wait half an hour after getting their medicine to eat. Good thing the activity director is leaving; she wasn't nice to the patients. The first three years my grandma was there, LBC was a great place. She hoped to spend many more years there, but now she and our family are super frustrated and there's nothing we can do. To make things worse, the rent just went up a lot and it's almost impossible to get in touch with the management.

"Great Care and Activities for Mom – Highly Recommended"
My mom is in memory care here, and the staff is great and caring. The housekeeping team keeps everything clean. They offer lots of daily activities, which was one of the reasons we picked this place. She enjoys three good meals every day. There’s a lovely garden area. They even have a bus that takes them shopping and on day trips. I would definitely recommend this community.

"Small Memory Care Facility"
The assisted living facility has two parts: assisted living and memory care. The memory care section, where my loved ones stay, feels quite small. It’s just one hallway with rooms on both sides. The staff is friendly, and the representative who helped us was very useful. Housekeeping keeps the whole place clean. The food isn’t fancy, but it’s not bad either. They change the menu daily, and the portions are good. They organize activities like music sessions, so residents can stay active instead of staying in their rooms.

Bear Creek is a cozy place that adds joy to everyone. My grandfather loves the community and the friendly staff. He always has nice things to say. I also really like the fresheners that make the facility smell clean and calm. For elderly care, this place is definitely one of my top choices for my grandpa.

"Exceptional Care and Attention at Bear Creek Assisted Living"
The whole staff at Bear Creek, from housekeeping to the executive director, truly cares about each resident, and you can really see it. They put their hearts into their work every single day. They know everyone by name, including family members, and always go the extra mile to handle any concerns. My mom was well taken care of while she was there, and I never had to worry about anything being overlooked. The community is always clean, the programs are top-notch, and the food is great. I highly recommend Bear Creek.

Extremely Disappointed
"Legacy: Inadequate Senior Care Despite High Pricing"
When we first chose Legacy for our senior loved one's care, it was a place of warmth, welcoming atmosphere, and a real gem for senior living. The staff was exceptional. Unfortunately, recent changes in management has led to much disappointment. There are some positives, like the friendly and helpful reception staff who show nothing but kindness. However, the drawbacks are significant. The medical staff, who seem earnest in their effort, sadly lack training. They are stretched too thin, and consequently, their capacity to adequately provide care for seniors suffers. The executive director's communication is virtually non-existent. She appears aloof and stubbornly reluctant to offer assistance. Similarly, the health and wellness head seldom makes her presence felt. This leads to an inability to guide the clinical staff in effectively tending to the seniors. While under Legacy's care, our relative was subjected to some negative experiences that were truly appalling. She was neglected long enough to wallow in uncleanliness, similar to the stereotypical image of nursing homes that we all dread. Further, her nourishment was insufficient, and there was an instance when she had to be admitted to a hospital due to dehydration. Legacy did attempt to rationalize their shortcomings by attributing it to her moderate dementia. We were given assurances of improvements in the level of care, but disappointingly, we saw no positive changes. Given the cost of care at Legacy, it would be prudent to consider other better-equipped facilities in the vicinity. Please continue your search.

"Food Needs Improvement"
Mom hasn’t been at Legacy at Bear Creek for very long. During her time here, I’ve noticed that they could definitely improve the food. It doesn’t even look appealing, and the snacks provided aren’t very healthy. I’d appreciate it if they offered some fruit. On the bright side, the kitchen staff is very friendly and delivers food to Mom’s room, which I really appreciate.

"Warning: Care Home Requests Holiday Bonus Payments from Residents"
Home Asks Residents to Pay Staff's Holiday Gifts" We were pretty happy with the care home until we got a note from them asking for money to give their employees holiday bonuses. I've never heard of a place doing that. Imagine if movie theaters asked for "donations" so their workers could get extra cash at Christmas. It's completely ridiculous. I'm worried that if my mom doesn't give the home more money (over the $52,000 a year we already pay) that her care might suffer.

"“Clean Community with Friendly Staff”"
The assisted living community is super clean, and the staff is really friendly. The all-inclusive pricing is reasonable, which is why we picked them. They offer plenty of activities, but my mom wishes there were more bingo games. The laundry service has been a bit of an issue, maybe a three out of five. On the bright side, they’re great listeners. However, my mom isn’t thrilled with the food—it’s hot, but the taste and variety need improvement. Still, she’s made some wonderful friends who check up on her if she misses bingo.

This place is really nice. It costs $3995 a month and that includes everything except for the phone. You don't have to pay extra if you need memory care. They have set times for meals, but you can have snacks in your room whenever you want. Your room comes with a fridge and cabinets, and you can even bring your own microwave. The floors are carpeted, and it's a Type B facility.
