We have a great experience with Camille. The facility is always clean. The staff is amazing. Caring and loving. My Dad is in memory care and needs extra care. The staff is always in tune to his needs. He enjoys the meals. He is on a special diet and they always make sure his needs are met. The cost is somewhat high but we tried several other places where he was not taken care of and ended in the hospital. We sleep good at night knowing he is safe and happy.... Read more

meets most of our parent's expectations. Staff is especially helpful, room size is generous, and location is convenient. One potential issue is providing gluten free meal selections. After a meeting with the Executive chef we were back in our comfort zone.

I am so frustrated with their phone service. Continual phone issues where I cannot get in contact with my in laws or the front desk! They are going to have a BIG problem if they do t get this resolved. Not safe for the residents!

This is really a very nice community and my dad is settling in, he has a very nice two bedroom/bath so his furiture looks very nice, and he has made the 2nd bedroom his office. I am starting to see some changes in my dad since his move here that is nice, he does get down to the dining room for his meals and has started visiting with some of the other residents. He is not much of activities person but there is a nice variety for the residents should they want to join in. My dad likes going down to the movies that they show every nite too. I am glad my dad is here.

We toured this community and we felt like it would be a great community. The staff was wonderful. The community was clean and beautiful. They have an outstanding list of activities. This would have been a great place for her, but they did not have the assistance that we needed at night. Families would be happy with the care of this community.

They were a nice community but we did not get a connecting feeling when visiting. They were professional and gave us more than enough information to make the right choice. They did great.

I have no complaints about the tour I had taken of this community for myself. All of the staff where very friendly and made sure to give me lots of great information about there community. They had a nice floor plan that was easy to navigate through as well as friendly residents. It was just not in my budget to live at this place.

Camellia overall is very impressive in all aspects. One thing they should take into consideration is my mother has very low vision. They should have something on her file indicating that because there have been times she wants to order dinner for example and they tell her to look at her menu. It's tiresome explaining her abilities to multiple people. I think they should be more sensitive to her inability to see very well. I don't think this goes just for Camellia but other communities as well.

I toured this community This is a beautiful community. The meals are restaurant style and a lot of great choices. There have two different nice areas. The community is very clean in every way. They do have a special area that is secured. They have tours out of the community. They take trips to the beach as well.

Response from Camellia at Deerwood
March 6, 2017Thank you for taking the time to tell us how we are doing, it is wonderful to hear that your mom adjusted well to living at Camellia at Deerwood. All of our team puts forward special effort in making the transition as seamless as possible. Our ambassador program allows new residents to learn about living here firsthand from current residents and all of our department heads visit the new resident shortly after moving in. We have also seen outstanding success with the monthly New Resident Mixer. I am very pleased that your family chose your mom’s home to be Camellia at Deerwood. Perry Brown, General Manager
I had a decent tour of this community. For the most part everything went well. The community looked nice. The staff I came across was nice. There were many factors that played into where to place my parents, and this was not the community for us.

Although we only had a short time, our entire experience with Camellia was outstanding. Carla was professional, caring, and helpful on the inbound process. Brian in facilities help us out with a speedbump at move in. All the memory care staff were flexible and tried many things making mom welcome and in adjusting to significant change. Doctor Cantrell worked well with us. And Perry was responsive and timely in working the accounts. The facility, staff, and events are top notch. Food is great. I only wish we had more time to enjoy the love and support. Bless you.

This was not our ideal community based on their price and location. When I spoke with them over the phone I got the information I needed and more. They directed me to useful resources and informed me about the benefits. They were friendly the whole time and even followed up with me to see if I made a choice.

The lady was super nice over here. I just felt that the grounds were very small and kind of tight. The people there were nice and there were residents out and doing things. It did feel newer, cleaner and hipper, but we really wanted a bigger community for mom.
