I'd like to give you very good but they have gone downhill immensely. My husband and I were 50% happy with the meals when we first came here, but, they have gone down. They have decreased. The care is very nice and makes sure we are taken care of.

A majority of the meals are too spicy for the senior citizen community. Most of the staff are wonderful and friendly.

My Mom feels very safe at The Plains. She always says it feels like a second family. The staff does a great job of looking after everyone.

The comments are here from the residents and community are mostly positive and praising. Yes, we complain, but the majority are positive, stating an asset to the community. I'm 6th generation living here and this is my dream come true. What better use for this land?

My mom has lived at the Plains since they opened. At first, everything was pretty darned great, including the food. In fact, she raved about the food at first. And the various policies. Over the years it has gotten to the point of being terrible. They can't seem to find anyone who knows much about actual cooking. It's pretty sad considering the price of a two bed/two bath apartment is about $3,500 per month! They closed down Millie's Cafe. They no longer allow residents to save up credits towards future meals that they might want to invite friends or family there for and they give residents a whopping $3.00 or $3.50 "credit" off their rent instead. The breakfasts are included in the rent, but you can buy your own cereal at the store for a lot less. Pretty sad. Unfortunately, there is little to no competition in the Oneonta area so it's easy for them to get away with providing so little of quality to their residents. Two of the ladies at the front desk are outstanding.

My father is doing as well as can be expected since his move to this. Overall we know he is safe, and in good hands. It is a nice community, and they do a good job with the cleanliness of the facility. He enjoys playing pool, and they have other activities available. The meals are nice. He is being provided with good care, and this is a community I would recommend.

We toured the facility this past Sunday (20th) and was delighted and very impressed with all the amenities & with Shawna! Certainly a place we'd like to place our Mother, however, there's a waiting list of 14 presently.

There seems to be a lot to do. It's a little smaller so a little more intimate. We've been very pleased with the people and the care that she's gotten.

Just visited dad since he moved in and we are really pleased with The Plains. We only considered two other places but the biggest factor in choosing The Plains was that it didn't feel institutional, it's in a really nice setting with lots of trees. (One of the other places we toured was right next to a Wal-Mart.) The staff at The Plains are really nice and it just felt like the best fit. it turns out that it happens to be the closest to kin as well. My dad also says the food is great.
