My mother was a resident at Penniman for about two years. She was in Assisted Living for a year and a half and Memory Care for about four months. The care she received at Penniman Hill was outstanding. The front desk, nursing, engagement and the business office always went out of their way to help. The care she received in Memory Unit was equally as good. The Administration, Nursing and the entire staff, took such good care of her. My mom was very happy at Penniman Hill from the moment she entered the building. She was engaged and was socially stimulated. Our family will forever be grateful for the care and comfort she received at Penniman Hill.... Read more

Mom was welcomed to the community. She was more reserved initially. The activity specialist was encouraging. Once comfortable- attended numerous activities/social events. The staff did a wonderful job making the transition from home to community living more comfortable. The family was closer to her which enabled family connections. Communication between staff and family was positive and informative. Family had peace of mind knowing mom was well supported.

November 12, 2024Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that your mom felt welcomed and encouraged by our team, and that she’s been able to enjoy so many activities and social events. We’re grateful for the opportunity to support your family and are here to ensure that your mom continues to feel at home with us!
My loved one is currently a resident at The Residence at Penniman Hill, but will be moving out soon. Many of the Memory Care residents have already moved out. The staff is lazy and untrained. The housekeeping is the only good aspect. Communication with the family is spotty. The move in process was easy. My suggestion is to remove the Director and reorganize and retrain the staff. I would absolutely not recommend this facility!

June 3, 2024We're grateful for your review! It means a lot to know your father-in-law was well cared for during his time here.
False advertising!!! No nursing 24/7 and cannot age your loved one in place!!! You need to pay for private care if you want anything done which is forced by corporate! Spending at least $20 K a month plus. Corporate is fake and does not care and the memory unit is not a true memory unit, be aware!!!

Response from The Residence at Penniman Hill
April 30, 2024We are very sorry that there was any misunderstanding about the nature of assisted living and what the state allows under our licensure. Residents in our community do age in place from independent living to assisted living and into memory care living if necessary. Unfortunately, when an individual gets to the point of needing full-time care it is necessary to introduce private duty aides, or to consider higher-acuity options such as skilled nursing. We wish you the best.
I would highly recommend Penniman Hill. My mother loved it there and the staff are absolutely amazing.

August 9, 2023Thank you for your wonderful review, Jean. We appreciate the kind words about our community.
All the staff have been so welcoming to my 97-year old MIL. She is settling in very well to this new experience for her. Living on her own with no illnesses for 95 years it's been a bit of a transition to accept help but the staff are very patient and kind.

April 24, 2023Thank you for this wonderful review!
This facility has been great! My loved one really loves the food. They offer a huge amount of activities. Communication with the family is great. Housekeeping is once a week and it's been good. Some of the staff are responsive and some not so much, so follow up can be poor at times. But overall, it's been a great experience so far. I would definitely recommend this facility to family and friends.

February 21, 2023Thank you for your feedback, Sally! We strive to provide the highest quality of care and service to our residents and cannot do so without reviews like yours. We are happy to hear that the experience has been positive overall.
We chose this facility because of the location, the fact that it was new and updated, and both [name removed] and [name removed], the marketing directors, were great to work with. The communication with the family, especially initially during that whole transition period was wonderful. I would definitely recommend The Residence at Penniman Hill to other families.

October 5, 2022Thank you for your review, Michelle! We appreciate you sharing your feedback of your experience with us.
Overall the food is not great, my sister in law complains on the food. She thinks some of the things in the activities program may need more options and change it up to more advanced options for more active residents.

July 15, 2022Thank you very much for your review of The Residence at Penniman Hill. We strive to offer the highest quality care, service, and amenities at our community and cannot do so without feedback like yours. If you would like to discuss your review further, please reach out to us directly!
We chose The Residence at Penniman Hill because it is a brand new facility that was very clean and she was able to take a room that had never been lived in before. We went on a tour and we were impressed with everybody that we met, the wellness directors, the sales person, and the daily caregivers. We did not spend much time with the executive director but she seemed to be nice. I do like the population size, it is big enough to where she could make friends but not too big to where she would get lost. My mother has become limited in her mobility and it attracted me that they had an outside area with trees, benches, and grassy areas where she can go out and get fresh air. I would recommend to others as long as the facility fits your loved ones needs.

December 10, 2021Thank you so much for your kind words. We're so happy that your mom has found a happy home at Penniman Hill!
This community was very nice and the tour experience was great.

December 14, 2021Thanks for touring! Please let us know if you have any questions.
My loved one loves being in this community. The food is fantastic and everyone gets along great with my family. The staff are amazing. The community is a little expensive but I do understand that this is the price now in these times but i do not think it should be that much for Sr. citizens because not everyone can afford. Other than the price everything is great.

It is a lovely place, but I did not feel the warmth from the staff. The tour felt more like a sales pitch, it was too businessy.
We chose The Residence because the apartment was larger and it was quiet unlike her previous place. They also offer anytime dining so it puts residents more in control, they can eat whenever they want and sit wherever they would like to. They have a 6 page menu to order from as well so they have tons of variety. They also provide plenty of activities for residents to participate in. I would recommend to others looking.

We didn’t tour together, but I went for a visit,. It was lovely and clean but no views for her which she finds to be important. Perhaps she plans on spending a lot of time looking out her window.
