Silverwoods

Since I live 6 hours away from my brother, it's reassuring that I can get it touch with staff and they'll go and check on him and keep me informed.

While I am truly grateful to have found this place with your organization's assistance and for the ease of the transition with the help of the staff here there are some negatives. There is not much in the way of community as I feel I was led to believe or perhaps assumed. Many of the residents keep to themselves which is of course their prerogative but I feel more should be done to encourage community. There appears to be a clique mentality for those with the higher priced packages. Maintenance is performed adequately for the most part for individual needs. Yet, there is a fair bit of disrepair/ neglect overall structurally on the grounds, badly paved roads, and some things such as broken benches are simply removed without being replaced etc. This makes it feel a bit depressing.

They are very good at maintenance and security. They are very responsive to requests. They seem to be having some personnel issues, however. They used to serve food in the clubhouse in the dining room and they have closed that until further notice. They said they didn't have enough kitchen or cooking staff members.

My brother in independent living so he is in his own apartment and pays for additional onsite Wellness and bus trips. His unit was completely remodeled so very nice. He pays for individual onsite cleaning service but it is mediocre. Helpful staff especially onsite nurse. Usually the meals are very good and wide variety. they have a calendar full of activities as well as an excursion calendar for each month. The rental units so no big initial outlay and because they are recently remodeled appear updated w roomy layouts. Front and back door for each unit with patio. One story building so no neighbor up or down, just side to side. Surprisingly good option for over 55 independent living with key enhancements available (onsite Wellness, meal plan, excursions and activities.)

I am completely impressed with Siverwoods. the only problem we had was we paid approximately [removed] per month for just one dinner. Yes it was a great complete dinner. However, within one month they added on a $[removed] delivery which added up quite a lot. An additional $[removed] a week. Which my sister that canceled, My dad is great care through Hospice as he now has dementia. So Silverwoods has been a true blessing.

Very friendly and helpful staff.

We picked this community, because of the location and amenities for dollar value. It was a very positive experience. Staff very helpful and courteous I would definitely recommend it.

This move was for my brother who is 65. There was more of a population of that age at Silverwoods. It is independent living with the option to pay more for wellness, meals etc. You can tailor your care. Many of the apartments have been totally remodeled so he was moving into a place with a brand new kitchen, bathrooms, floors. Onsite in separate buildings, they have an assisted living complex. And another building for skilled nursing/rehab facility. They can meet future needs that come up.

The clubhouse and grounds are both spotless. The entire staff was extremely accommodating and answered all of our questions. I got the impression that they genuinely care about everyone who lives there and go out of their way to ensure that everything runs smoothly. My sister is excited to relocate her mother-in-law from [removed] here.

I was disappointed to find out that one has to sign up for a whole year of extra services, like activities or meals. It would be preferable if a resident had an option of trying them out for a month or so. The cost is significant enough to make a difference.

I would tell others not to wait, I wish my mom would have moved to Silverwoods sooner. It has been a great experience so far for all of us.

If you want a quiet area, this is the place to go. I'm not home a lot, but what little interaction I have had with people has been good. You move in on your own completely independently, and then everything else is a la carte. And if you need further care down the road, it's all here in the same area and they can accommodate you. I'm not saying it's cheap, but I would say it's a fair price. And the admissions person was very helpful, which I appreciated when moving from out of state.

Great setting, clean and cheerful Not for my mom. She’s afraid of living alone in one of the house-like units

We chose Silverwoods because of the value for the money, it was the best that we could find in the area. They are all in separate buildings, so any amenities such as the activities or the food, you would have to walk there if you cannot drive which poses some issues. They did just renovate the apartments so they are beautiful. All of the staff members are very kind and paying rent is very easy, so other than it being spread out it has been a good experience.

Very nice, however the person who assisted my son and I was a little overworked. She assisted in answering all our questions and there was a choice of either a dishwasher or a single washer and dryer combo in the kitchen. They do have laundry facilities in all sections. The rooms are great sizes. I have chosen the 2 bedroom two bath unit. They are great about move in date, as long as you give the go ahead and provide the information needed.

We chose Silverwoods because of the affordability as well as the location, it is conveniently located next to doctors offices, hospitals, restaurants, etc. The apartment sizes are very nice, she has a front and back little porch. Even the one bedroom is good size and has a spacious bathroom. She said she really enjoys the meals here. The staff members here are wonderful, especially if you are in assistance, the nurses are very attentive. I would recommend to others looking and already have.

The community has gotten a lot better since getting a new director and he has done a lot to update the community spaces. The dinning room has always looked very clean and my mother lives in the independent living area and all those spaces there have been clean for the most part. The staff is very good and they really do seem to care about the residents. They are very nice to my mother and the nurse there has been very good as well. They have showed a lot of concern for my mother's well being. The activities have also been good. Even during the Covid-19 pandemic and ensuing community lock down, they have made a big effort to keep the residents occupied while they are social distancing. Before the pandemic, they brought in outside entertainment and music, had special holiday events, and offered of other activities should the residents decide to participate. During the pandemic, they have offered to bring the residents groceries every week at no extra cost. We definitely think Silverwoods is a good value for the price, especially considering the other communities we looked at and how much more expensive they were.
