The staff are great, friendly have been helpful. However they don't have a lot of staff so there's a lot of things that haven't happened for my dad that we've had to talk to them about quite a few times so, communication. According to my dad, the food it's OK but always cold . When we got him moved in I thought he would have some sort of orientation to the facility and he should have but he didn't so he didn't know what he was getting for his money and that took a good month and a half to figure that out where he was satisfied with the answer, he's happy there, but he says it's all show behind the scenes doesn't run that smoothly I guess....

We picked this community, because they had availability for the kind of apt my Mom wanted (1 bdrm plus den), the open feel of the apt, the friendliness of the staff, the programs available: DR on staff, sewing group, Bible Study group, Church service to name a few things. The DR has stopped by to check on my Mom. She has been able to transfer her meds to the pharmacy downstairs & they deliver her prescriptions. That is such a blessing! A Place For Mom" made this whole thing possible for my Mom & she has blossomed at Gable Pines!!

November 2, 2024Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we did. We hope you have a great day!
The staff has been extremely friendly, professional and helpful and even worked with us when the rent was a little out of our price range. The residents are welcoming and friendly, there are numerous activities and outings, and the food is fabulous. The rent includes 3 meals a day and a land-line and safety pendant if desired. The Bluestone doctor obviously enjoys working with seniors and takes her time during visits. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gable Pines to anyone looking for an Assisted Living facility.

October 9, 2024Hello Joan, thank you; we appreciate your feedback! We're glad to hear we delivered such a great experience. If there's anything further we can do for you, we are happy to help!
We have only been at the facility for a few months, but my parents seem to like it. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. At first it was difficult to determine who to ask about certain things, but everyone tried to help. The meals are good and have a variety to chose from.

September 10, 2024Hi Dana, thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us at Gable Pines. We're happy we could meet your expectations! Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything additional we can do for you.
My wife, being a former interior designer, was very concerned to find an apartment layout that she liked and a building with a warm welcoming decor. Gable Pines was a good fit. Her place has a nice north-facing outdoor balcony, where she can sit and enjoy the fresh air, and a den where she has room to work on projects that she loves. The hallways are wide with recessed doorways and tastefully colorful wall colors. There are also numerous paintings, flower arrangements, other decorative touches. It does not at all have the feeling of a nursing home, or even of most apartment buildings that I have been in. The thing that struck me most when first looking at my wife’s place, and the building in general, was how clean it was. There weren’t the usual sloppy caulking jobs, or windows that wouldn’t slide, etc. And when we have had issues, the maintenance people have addressed them promptly.

Gabel Pines like most business has experienced difficulties in keeping its staff fully filled but has done a good job in providing good services. I think if fully staffed I think it would be excellent service.

April 27, 2024It's experiences like yours that really keep us motivated! Thanks again for the recommendation, and have an amazing day!
I would recommend this facility to others. The people are helpful and were able to answer all of our questions. The move was easy, but my parents are on the first floor. They are very accommodating. The place is always clean. We have trouble with the satellite tv. Have been asking for help since February and haven't seen anyone yet. The food is okay. Desserts and soups are the best part. The process is fast paced. Not a lot of time to make a decision. The units go so fast.

February 14, 2024Thank you for the 5-star review, Troy! Glad to hear your feedback.
The days at Gable Pines are filled with fun. After 3 years of searching, I have found the assisted living and memory care place where I would like to go, should the need arise. Both my mother and grandmother need need that care, and loves had to scramble under pressure to find a good place with an opening. I wanted to do the research myself , in advance, and under pressure. After visiting several places, my conclusion is I would like to live at Gable Pines. GP has lovely social spaces, apartments free of drafts or noise, trained nurses who attend to the residents needs, and great food. The days at GP are filled with fin - body and brain stimulating activities that residents can choose from. The best way to evaluate GP for assisted living or memory care is to visit the place.

Too much chicken and fish on the menu with no alternative items, that are different from chicken and fish. Most of the time food is served cold. Not real happy with meals served here.

September 13, 2023Hi Joh, thank you so much for your positive comments about Gable Pines! We hope you have a great day.
Picked Gable Pines for the memory care facility for my wife. She loved it here! After her passing, Covid, and loneliness, I moved in because of the staff and aides that took good care of her. Smart move - this is the best place for me in old age.

June 23, 2023Carsten, your wonderful feedback and rating mean a lot to us. Thank you for taking the time to provide this positive review. Have an excellent week!
If people are interested in chandeliers and Greek columns then Gable Pines is probably not for them. The atmosphere felt more like home for my folks. I think, once we got the care plan fully implemented and had my mom lived longer, GP would have been a good fit. My father was/is in good physical and mental health. It was probably a bit tougher on him with covid protocols in place. He's a very outgoing person but given time I'm sure he would have made some meaningful connections with other residents who might have been in a similar situation as he. There were facilities we visited that were more posh than gable pines. What sealed the deal was the fact that you knew what your care plan cost each month. Many other facilities were A la carte.
