Elison of Orchard Glen

I would give all a 5. Mom moved home in [date removed] with hospice and went to her eternal home [date removed]. She verbalized when she moved out of orchard glen that she wished she had moved there sooner. I found the staff very caring. They all knew her name and always addressed her by name. It is a very homey place. The activities offered were great. But mom didn't utilize them as she was starting to decline in her mobility and breathing. The food was good and they really check on the residents if they fail to show for dinner and go out of their way to make sure they are taken care of. It is a very clean facility Mom moved in in [date removed] and moved out in [date removed]. I do believe that her ability to remain independent bought her 7 extra months before she had to return home with hospice care.

When you have no idea what to do a place for mom can be a big help. It’s good to start looking before you absolutely need it because you have time to make decisions and assess the situation. We got my mom in a nice place where she’s so much better off. It is not assisted living. It is senior housing and they have a lot of amenities there. The woman who helped me actually showed me what we could afford, Where as I had no idea before. The only problem was the woman who helped me, did not live in the area, and was not familiar with where we were living and what was close by. But she was knowledgeable enough to direct us to the right direction.

I love the friendliness and the staff is very nice at Elison of Orchard Glen. We are still without a lifestyle director and have to make our own activities. It is clean. The rent was raised 9 percent, which is hard. Food is generally good, but some is too salty and I have to eat in my apartment as I'm on a low sodium diet. They are not allowed to perform cpr and have to call an emt if someone falls.

The staff are wonderful. All very warm and engaging. The meal service is great and very social, mom loves the food. It's in a really great area with a nice park & lake. Many people have dogs. The residents are all friends and there's always things to do. The building feels like a nice hotel more than a "old folks home". All for $[removed]a month. It's a dream. We feel very lucky and mom is so happy. Highly recommend to anyone!!

All of the staff is wonderful - polite, kind and caring - from the top down. They claim no food complaints in years and I believe it. Residents are respected and treated as adults, complete with a weekly happy hour. The apartment was immaculate and move in ready - fresh paint and carpets and housekeeping meets that standard. We give Elison of Orchard Glen an overall excellent rating and highly recommend residency.

I picked this community because I was told they had excellent food and a lot of activities. Some of the food is not that good. Some food is very good. Activities are not their priorities.

My mom is currently a resident at Elison of Orchard Glen and everything has been great for her at this facility. The move in process was smooth. We signed the contract and brought in a few items that day and moved in the following day. The facility smells good and is always clean. Mom has started slowly to participate and has actually improved her mobility. I have no complaints on the housekeeping. They just got a new housekeeper and mom commented on the nice job she did. She said it's amazing how the staff knows their names, especially the dining room staff. They seem to recognize her likes and dislikes. I have had a few lunches that were delicious. Mom enjoys the meals- although some may be better than others. They do have meetings between the chef and the residents to discuss the menus. Overall, I am seeing my mom thrive and have quality of life and I am happy that she made this decision. She is content. I highly recommend Elison of Orchard Glen to others!

Elison of Orchard Glen is a warm, welcoming environment, with great food, beautiful apartments, and lots of activities. It is a safe place for my dearest friend!

The tour was great for us! Unfortunately my loved one never was able to move in.

This is the best place that we have found. They are excellent, caring, friendly, and the community is clean. The communication with the staff has been awesome for the family, and they are responsive to our questions and concerns. Weekly church services, bingo, happy hour, entertainment, theme parties and celebrations, games, and more are some of the activities for the residents to choose from.

The management of the facility is very flexible and very friendly. They worked hard to make sure they understood our needs, and they were able to offer programs and ideas to address our specific situation. The apartments are awesome. They're modern, appear to be well maintained, are appropriately sized, and have good views out the windows. And they clearly put effort into freshening up the spaces when there is turnover in residents.

We chose this facility because when we visited my mom fell in love with the location, the view, as well as the amenities provided. She loves it here and we love it too. I would highly recommend them, it is a wonderful facility.

It has been really really nice so far, and they call us anytime there are any issues. The community is kept very clean and just overall very nice. Our loved one does say sometimes the food is really good and sometimes not so good. We also think they have great activities.

My loved one is in her own apartment. My loved one loves this community and has lots of friends. She has had no complaints about the community. My family and I stayed with my loved one while she was moving in. It was really nice to see how nice the community was. They are very good. If there are any issues, they take care of it right away. I highly recommend the community.

Very nice place but to far out, bad location
