Has had big turnover of management in the last 2 years. My MIL doesn't seem to like any of the food. I have eaten there a couple times and the food is ok, but nothing really to rave about. The community as a whole is good. All one facility so no going to different buildings as in other facilities.... Read more

There has been a problem with cleaning residents' apartments as one employee left. After several days another employee was hired and things have improved as far as cleaning bathrooms, vacuuming, changing sheets, etc. Meals are plentiful but not very tasty. Carrots served for several days were too hard to cut with a knife. Though hot dogs and hamburgers are supposed to be available every lunch and dinner, the kitchen has been out and out and out. Be prepared to WAIT for your meal. It can be 90 minutes. The activity director is great and the receptionist who does many things is also great.

We met with the personnel at this place, but ultimately determined that it was too independent for our family member's needs (they don't have a nurse or any medical personal on staff). But it seemed nice and the residents seemed happy. Looks like it would be good for a retirement community.

Very nice facility, really liked it but it didn't have the necessary staff to accommodate my dad's needs relative to nursing & safety needs. Otherwise it was very nice.

My father is doing good here. We like the staff and they offer him good care in every way possible. The community is always cleaned and taken care of. He seems to be pleased with the meals that are offered to him. They have always tried to get him involved with the activities. We would recommend the care for other families and the value.

This community has three floors and I did not like that the assisted living residents were put on this floor. They have their own dining room and are separated from the independent living residents. The surroundings were nice and the people I met were nice.

I rated them a 3 only because they were not set up to handle assisted living issues. As a residential facility it is 5 stars. A large open facility allows residents to enjoy live entertainment from any of the 3 floors. The dining room looked like a 5 star restaurant. There were many activities/functions for all to enjoy.

This place is wonderful ... Everyone is happy and involved. My mom is really happy there. The meals are well balanced, but just average taste wise... Probably hard to make really tasty meals in bulk, without being too spicy I'm sure. Good value!

The photos on the website do not do justice to the actual place. This facility is beautiful,clean and roomy. The personnel are very helpful and friendly. The activities provided are well worth living here. No one can ever be bored with nothing to do. I wish I had discovered this facility years ago for my father. You won't be disappointed if you, family or a friend ever resides here. Thank you University Pines for serving the seniors in my area.

My sisters and I were looking for a better Assisted Care Facility that where our Mom was currently living. I found this place through a TV commercial by Joan Lunden for "A Place for Mom". The advisers were very helpful in finding a few places for us to check out. Mom reluctantly agreed to a tour. After having lunch and spending a few hours looking around, Mom decided to move in! This place is awesome! Staff is great! Food is Great! People living there are great! My only negative comment is that we were not told that there is a non-refundable deposit equal to the first months rent until we were actually through signing all the paperwork to rent a room. We were caught off guard by this additional expense and had to scramble to figure a way to pay for it. This should be disclosed up front! Mom has been there about a month now and she loves it!
