Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living

"After only 2 months at Somerford my family made the decision to return my uncle to his home and bring in outside help. The physical therapy he received was outstanding as were the instructors. The activities offered were many, however my uncle just was not interested in participating. Potential families need to be shown all the rooms where activities/facilities are held, mingle with the residents and explain the day to day operation of the facility. I think that will help set the expectations for future residents." - Christine…

"This place should be ashamed of the care they give their residents. I would never recommend the Lorelton to anyone with a family member who needs to be placed in a assisted living situation. Look somewhere else. My poor grandmother with severe Alzheimer’s was there recently for a short respite stay and the condition she was in when I picked her up was disgusting and appalling that any human being would have to live like that. My heart sank, I could not believe what I was seeing. I just can’t imagine what else she might have gone through especially not being able to speak up for herself. I filed a complaint at the Lorelton but haven’t heard anything since. I just can’t believe the amount of money we paid to have her there, that this is the type of care she received." - Christine…

Assisted Living, Memory Care

"Understanding that it is difficult to maintain staff in this industry, folks sacrifice and pay a lot for memory care. As such, the staff in memory care should be exceptional in caring for those with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Real nayas. They should pay memory care staff more to get better, caring people. With Rockland Place, all the wonderful things you read in the brochure about their nayas, and all the pretty pictures, are not reality. Memory care area is often very dirty, most of the staff just congregate in an area and gossip, or sit around on their cell phones. The residents are not well supervised or cared for as you are led to believe. The residents are left on their own without caring interactions. It’s also much more expensive than other comparable facilities." - P…
