Independent Living
My mother really likes being at Clearwater Springs Assisted Living community. She has friends that she dines with and the staff are caring and friendly. However, I do think cleaning of halls could be better.
I have lived here at The Heights at Columbia Knoll for almost two months, and I am still getting acclimated. Unfortunately my husband passed away shortly after I got settled in, so I have been somewhat keeping to myself and not able to get to know the facility too well, but my overall impression of it has been decent. The people are very friendly.
The residents are terrific as well as the staff that work there. Some of the restaurant processes are less than optimal. Could be better coordinated. The community feel is great for my mom. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend SpringRidge at Charbonneau to other families.
