Brand new facility. It is beautiful, bright and airy. Location is somewhat in the business area and right off a busy street. No great views. The client rooms offer good light, adequate space, walk in showers. Array of activities and many amenities for clients.

So Grateful

I am so grateful to Edencrest Sienna Hills for their excellent care of my sister, who has intermittent problems with memory and dementia. I roomed in the newly opened facility with her for 10 days last year, and every single staff interaction I saw was professional and caring—even when staff had no idea I was nearby. All levels of staff totally exceeded my expectations! At one point a young staff member irritated my sister by telling her a little too stridently that she thought she’d have more fun if she left her room more often—exactly what I’d been saying for days—unsolicited but clearly well-intentioned advice. My sister is frustrated with her loss of independence, but her rare complaints about this reality are always followed by unsolicited praise and gratitude for Edencrest itself—music to a sister’s ears. She had been extremely unhappy in two previous settings, so in my opinion Edencrest Sienna Hills is tried-and-true, and I am so grateful!

Amazing Facility and Staff

Sienna Hills is a beautiful facility! I could not have asked for a better environment for my dad. The staff goes above and beyond to make the residents feel cared for. The staff became like family to us. The Health Care Coordinator personally cared for my dad and showed him so much attention. She watched him enough to recognize subtle differences in his disposition and health. The Activities Coordinator pleasantly encouraged my dad to participate in activities when his preference was to stay in his dark room. The activities were thoroughly enjoyed by my dad once he participated. The meals are very good and there is a variety to choose from. If a resident really likes something that is not on the menu, they seek to accommodate. My dad became very close to the transportation driver. [Removed] truly cared about my dad and was more than a driver. He helped him with a lot of things both physically and emotionally. The Management was equally kind and accommodating. They took my dad in with open arms even during a busy time for them and made the transition a pleasant one for the entire family. Thank you Sienna Hills for everything!!

Large rooms and nice green space

I toured this facility because their other location wasn’t open yet. I really like this community and the rooms and green space are a lot larger than their other location. While on our tour, the marketing director was very nice and seemed to be knowledgeable. The only downfall to this facility is if I was to move my mom in, it would have been really difficult to move all of her furniture down the hall and into an elevator. I would recommend this community to other families.

New facility and nice staff

This is a brand new facility with only four residents right now. The staff seems to be very personal and they aren’t letting my Mother sit around all day. For activities, they offer things like exercise classes, arts/crafts, and they even have seasonal parties. I’ve also eaten the food here and it’s really good. If you don’t like the main option, they do have a café menu you can choose from. The only thing that I can think of they could do better is their communication skills. When my mom is away from the facility for a longer period of time she does have adult diapers. However, the staff has been putting those on her all of the time when she doesn’t need them. I have been talking with the health coordinator and she is checking into it. I would recommend this community to other families.

Options for mom

We toured the community for mom's care. The staff was nice and the community was clean and maintained. We like that the staff was very kind and patient. Meals are offered that are healthy. We would suggest a tour for other families for the value and the levels of care that offered.

It's a very nice place

One of our family members did the tour for us at Edencrest and they did like the community, it was clean and spacious, the staff was friendly and they felt Edencrest had a lot to offer their residents. Between the two we felt that Prairie Hills would be a better fit for my mother-in-law.

Care for family

I like the care that we had from this community. The staff was nice and friendly. They needed more staff members to be able to care for the residents. The community was clean and maintained. The staff needed to make sure that he had his personal needs to be taken care of.

Good tour of community

I thought Edencrest was a very nice facility. The rooms were very nice and it was a positive experience. We did not choose Edencrest because it was a little more expensive than other options in the area.

Care and Comfort

This is a nice community for good care. The staff is pleasant. The meals are needing some small improvements lately. They offer a lot of activities that he is participating in and it is very helpful. They have a nice activities board to see what he is participating in. We would recommend this community for other families for the care of a loved one.

All around great community !!

All around this community has provided excellent care to my mother and I have been very pleased with her experience this far. She does not eat many of the meals because of her age but really likes the dinning experience and the interaction she has with the other residents. I really like the fact that they have multiple common areas with great amenities for her to relax throughout the day and not be stuck in her bedroom.

Great exercise program !!

I have been overly pleased with the great progress my mother has been making at this community. She loves the fact that she can go down to the dinning room and get her meals anytime of the day. They also offer a fantastic activity program at this facility including an exercise class three days a week that my mom also really enjoys to participate in. Overall she has made her self right at home and is very comfortable in her new living environment.

I cannot say enough about the staff at Edencrest at Green Meadows!!

The staff have bent over backwards to make sure we were happy. They answer all our questions. One of the nurses Dot is phenomenal. They are so caring and kind and make us feel like part of their family. The food is good and they offer lots of choices. They accommodate my mom's dietary needs. I would recommend this community with no hesitation.

Perfect Community For My Father

This is a beautiful community and everything is working out very well for my father. This is the perfect place for him, we are very pleased with everything they have done for us. Everybody is very nice and friendly. They offer great care, so we know he is in good hands. The food is wonderful and he is trying some activities. He enjoys the bible study class and the exercise class. I know he is safe and they are taking good care of him. I would absolutely recommend it.
