The Devon Senior Living

Jules at Devon Senior Living is a gem. This is the first facility we toured and we had no idea what to expect let alone what questions to ask. Jules gave us two hours of her time allowing us to ask questions, tour the facility, explore the activities there as well as provide a history of the building. Upon entering the building we felt a warmth radiating from the residents that we did not experience at any other facility we toured. I didn't know what to expect once we arrived but I had thought I might be disappointed in the facility due to the age of the establishment. It was quite the opposite however. The new parts of the building have been integrated into the old in such a way as to make the entire facility feel like a home. The Memory Care facility is like no other. Much thought has gone into the care and treatment of the residents. The rooms are a good size and I was actually impressed that no room in the Memory Ward has a shower located within. I felt this to be a very secure feature as we are constantly afraid of Mom falling and hurting herself in the bath. We loved the common areas with their beautiful views and open spacious comfort. The facility is clean, secure, happy, and nurturing. We are hoping to place Mom in this facility as we have no qualms about this facility being the right place for Mom and we can be at peace with the daunting decision to have to place her in an Assisted Living Facility.

Very warm and friendly. Would highly recommend. Older facility which adds to warmth

The food is good, she hasn't complained about the food. I looked at about eight of the communities, they had the best price, the best unit size, and the staff was great. Jules is the incoming sales person, she was great I couldn't ask for anybody to have treated me or my mother any better than that. She was professional and handled herself real well.

It's hard to find a place for a loved one, even worse when you have limited time to do it. Our mom had worsening dementia. The staff was excellent to ease our minds and make the entry process as easy as possible. They were very understanding and were willing to work with the family that had extenuating circumstances. Our mom was there a few months. The rooms are spacious in the general assisted living area. The fees were better here than most other assisted living places. Reasonable. The building is old, but kept clean. They could update the décor, but I am sure rates would increase then. I was mostly impressed with the loving staff that I felt treated my mom as well as their own mom given similar circumstances. From the house keeping crew to the LPN's, all were very attentive, caring, and nice people. The activities team were innovative, and they had a theme displayed all the time to make it fun. I would recommend if you are looking and have a budget you should give DSL a look. Consider the care and attention your loved one needs, and sometimes you don't know and it's a guess or trial and error. Drop in unexpectedly to see how things are. None of these places are perfect, but you want to feel good about your decision and that your loved one is safe and well cared for.

Mom has only been there a few days. So far the staff has been very helpful in fininshing up any loose ends as well as making sure she has some help getting to know the facility and the activities.

Had a number of very good references from people who had friends parents stay there. Price is affordable for us. Building has some issues being older. 3 3/4 stars due to older building

I enjoyed the tour. Jules is an excellent PR representative. I like the memory care community and especially the director.

The staff is really friendly and the community is very clean. They could offer a bigger variety of activities for the residents but overall it is a pretty good community that we are happy with.

Did not like this facility - too spread out over multiple floors.. small hallways.. very small rooms. Did not see any/many residents in the common areas. Dark - no real flow to it.
