Sanford Estates

Sanford has been a good experience so far. As with every other place there have been bumps in the road but they are quick to address issues and have supplied a stable living experience.

The staff were good friendly and helpful. Some of the cleaning ladies were treated rudely by the residents. Too many wheel chairs for this not to be assisted living. Thought it was strange that so many were on the 3rd floor and often wondered how they would get down the stairs if there was a fire or other emergency. Washers and dryers were worn and did not function properly. That was one of the reasons mom wanted to leave. Bus that picked up residents had no wheelchair lift so those residents were left to find other means of transportation. Guest bathroom downstairs needed some work. Restrooms were always very clean but toilet lid was not seated properly and soap dispenser was broken. One maintenance man for that large of a complex might not be enough. So it takes some time before he can come by unless it is an emergency. Some of these items might have already been addressed but overall the experience at the facility was positive and in the scheme of things the above comments were just observations from mom. Food was good, staff was good, cleanliness was good. I think mom just didn't feel like she fit in well with some of the residents. Lol At 87 she is pretty set in her ways too!

My loved one was previously a resident at Sanford Estates. Overall, I would recommend Sanford Estates to others. There was turnover with the person running the facility, which I hated to see. Also, the food is pretty bad.

The facility needs a lot of upgrades. Roaches and ants need to be taken care of. The kitchen staff is great but management not so friendly. Based off of my loved ones experience, we would not recommend this facility to others looking.

Staff is friendly and helpful and go the extra mile to accommodate my mother (for example helping her log-on to her personal computer). My mother is very happy there, only complaint is that some meals are good and some very average.

There was some staff overturn but they were all lovely. My dad loved the food. The memorial service they organized for my dad was beautiful. The people so warm and friendly. My dad was so sad he wasn’t going to be able to go back there. He knew he’d die in the hospital because the lungs were failing. They had onsite care but we only used it once or twice. He did do PT for his spine with the PT there and he loved her and it helped.

My father in law has made a complete turn around and is doing fantastic The faculty was very helpful during move in and welcoming. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. My father in law was lonely and sick and is now healthy and flourishing at Sanford Estates. The residents were welcoming also. He wasn't forced to get involved but gently nudged. The other day he when to "yarn and yak" and made everyone in attendance laugh when he said he was just there for the "yakking".

The staff members at Sanford Estates are very accommodating to work with. We also really like all the activities they have for the residents to participate in. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend the Sanford Estates community to other families.

What our family likes the most about the Sanford Estates is the staff members - they are very accommodating. Also the different activities they offer to the residents are great! Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families who are looking for a place for their loved ones.

Staff and the facility were very accommodating for my mom. One evening she was tired and didn't feel like going down for dinner .. so they brought it up to her apartment! Very accommodating getting her apartment ready for her before the move in as well. Everything we asked to have done was handled. They had various sizes of apartments. I don't recall the exact # of sizes/shapes but after looking at 4 or 5, we found 1 that fit my mom's needs. It came with a kitchenette and had a good amount of storage space. Also had help alarms though out the apartment.

All around it’s a good experience. The turnover rate is extremely high. I’ve lived here almost 1 1/2 year. Sanford Estates had been through a lot of trials but the staff that has remained has made it enjoyable to stick around. New management every few months. Food is average. Portions are either too small or too big. Some servers are friendly others are rude.

Staff Is very friendly and welcoming and the facility, while older, is very clean and inviting. Staff will also go out of their way to accommodate my mother and go the extra mile to take care of her. Apartments are not large but big enough for my mother's needs. The bathroom and bedroom is a nice size and the partial kitchen and living room are small. It is cute and motivates one to be organized due to the limited space. Windows overlooking the outdoors gives it the feeling of being bigger than it really is.

Our family has had a really good experience with Sanford Estates so far. There are so many different activities for the residents to do. There is something always going on Monday-Friday, but on the weekends it is a little lighter. They have a lot of stuff that is appropriate for the elderly residents there. They had a Mardi Gras parade which was really enjoyable. For Elvis Presley's birthday they played his music all throughout the afternoon. When our loved one first moved in, the staff did a really good job having people sit with him during meal time, and invite him to play games. We have eaten there a couple of times and from what we have had, the meals are excellent, and more importantly our loved one thinks they are excellent. Our only criticism is they are experiencing a lot of turnover with their kitchen staff. However the kitchen staff that is there are excellent and they really try to make the dining experience personalized for each resident.

It is a good value for the money. I picked this community because it seemed like it was a nice, and quiet place. I would recommend to other families.

The staff have all been helpful and have gone above and beyond. They have ensured that my dad is safe and had what he needs. They do clean some of the areas and supply some linens which is very helpful. They have a bunch of activities that dad has tried. I wouldn't say the most, but they have enough to keep people busy if they want to be. It's a nice quiet place that I would recommend.

The staff at Sanford Estates is very attentive and accommodating. So far, we've found that it seems to be a community where everybody looks out for everybody. And the apartment is very nice.

I would encourage others to come live here. I enjoy the meals, light housekeeping, the location, and the staff all are wonderful. The shuttle bus is for shopping on Mondays and Fridays, and Tuesday and Thursday for doctor appointments, and Wednesday is for community outings. The staff communication for requests can be a little more time as the staffing numbers are low. There are communal washer and dryers on each floors for the residents to use. There are kitchenettes in the apartments. There are three meals a day served for the residents.

While our loved one was there, the Sanford Estates community was great and the staff members were wonderful. The activities were very good and she really enjoyed the meals. It was an absolute god send, and being a nurse and knowing what is out there we were just blown away. We are so glad our loved one had an opportunity to live here.

It has some good quality quality and some small issues. It is in a good location, it is very up to date with comfortable accommodations. Our loved one has met some friends there which is great, they have good activities we do think they are top notch. They have a transportation service that takes the residents to and from places if they can't or don't drive. The staff are very friendly, no one at the community has tested positive for the virus, they are very cautious and on top of it. The only small issue there is, is with the meals and dining service, that could be improved a little bit. They have gone though a couple chefs so far and we are not exactly sure what the problem is.
