Swanhaven manor review

They are so organized & helpful. If you need anything they are quick to help. If you have a problem our maintenance guys are the best. Our custodian does an outstanding job here. Our office gals are always working hard keeping things running smoothly here with all the many things to do concerning all the paperwork etc. I love it here. The staff is very friendly & always ready to help. The food is usually good. I mostly eat in my room. The laundry rooms are clean , there are lots of activities. We have a bus that takes us shopping & to dollar stores, & fruit markets, baseball games, & casinos. Its just wonderful here. I have been here one year last date removed!

Swanhaven Manor Review

The staff at Swanhaven Manor are all very friendly. Areas for improvement- Food- generic, limited variety, small portions. I understand inflation, but still... Activities- limited space availability so often go on a waiting list. Seems like the activity is filled up before the lists are even posted. No good exercise program available, although was part of the sales pitch. The rent increase for 2023 was very reasonable.

Clean, Upbeat, and Well-Kept

I have a dear friend that I visit frequently at Swanhaven. The inside always smells clean and everything always looks very clean. The office and maintenance staff are always friendly and helpful. Whatever is cooking in the kitchen always smells delicious as well. My favorite part of visiting is the people that live there, there are always people visiting in the common areas when you walk in or in the dining room. I will be joining my friend at Swanhaven when I'm ready to move.

I feel the parking lots are a disaster. Someone is going to fall and get hurt. The back doors going into the parking lots should both have electric door openers. Hard to get in with walkers.

Swanhaven Manor positives and negatives

Staff are all friendly and helpful. Residents are somewhat cliquish. Facility is safe and secure. Food program is contracted out. It is mediocre with limited fruits and vegetables. The 25% price increase for this mediocre food program makes it even more disappointing for the elderly on a fixed income. Exercise activities available are not as advertised. Base rental rate is one of the best in the area, even after adding up all the customized ala-carte amenities. Nice to be able to select amenities that fit mom's individual needs.

New Home, Newer Life!

My sister [name removed] has been at Swan Haven for about 3 months now. She is a changed person in so many wonderful ways! With the stresses of home ownership gone, Swan Haven has been perfect! [name removed] has made countless friends with like interests as well as partaking in a number of in house and out community activities. She so appreciates the transportation available as weather and traffic congestion is a real stressor for her. Lastly, [name removed]appreciates the cleanliness and feel of safe and secure in Swan Haven. Staff are caring, knowledgeable and available. Relocating to a new city has been made easier with the experienced staff of Swan Haven. I am so pleased with the progress that sister [name removed] has made for her comfort and sense of calm. None of this would have been possible without the support and assistance of A Place For Mom! The organization has my respect for offering such a valuable service and resource for the Senior population. Thank you for all you provide for this generation of givers.

Swanhaven Manor review

Our loved one has some dementia and we feel that they are safe here at Swanhaven Manor, they have a nice little apartment and it is a very clean community. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families. Our loved one does not participate in the activities so at times it does not matter, but for what we are paying we do with they would not completely shut down the activities when there is a covid outbreak.

This is a fine community. I'm impressed that the apartment is quiet and well built, it sometimes seems like I'm the only one here. The staff will do laundry and medication management for me. They will also check on me to make sure that I'm okay. The food is good. Some of the activities they have available include eucher, bingo, entertainment, and more for the residents to choose from.
