Review for Cherry Laurel by Sky Active Living

Studio Apt. Staff: good. Food: not that Great. Always lacks enough employees. Transportation: bus stays in shop for repairs most of the time. I think most of the residents come here because they don't have to pay as much as other independent residents care.

our families experience, friendly staff, would recommend

The area is nice close to stores. They do need to keep bus driver hired so they can provide transportation as promised. They are going through remodeling for a while now very slow on it. But overall good.

Helpful service, limited resources.

It is a great resource if you have a lot of options. In our case there was just not a lot of options in our area. The people I spoke with were very kind. However, i could have collected the information on my own. If we were in a larger area to have assistance in exploring options I can see how this would be valuable

Great activities, friendly staff

Not really a good fit for my mother. We left to go to another facility because she really required more care. I think Cherry Laurel offers a lot of great activities for older folks that do not need assistance with daily care. They were not able to assist my mother with a fall and were not as easy as Tapestry with mealtime schedules being pretty rigid.

Cherry Laurel

We love Cherry Laurel. [name removed]the manager is great. They do struggle to keep help on for cleaning and serving. Mom has been extremely happy. We have had meals with her and the food options are nice. I love the dining room. Mom goes to bingo. We had dinner with her last night and she said they were going to be going some renovations. I do think the activity room could be nicer. The staff is friendly. They just need more staff.

Great experience @ Cherry Laurel Independent Living

Nice staff, cute one bedroom apartment, convenient to laundry, dining room and activities. Mom loves playing chair volleyball, waking around the facility and sitting on the nice front and back porches. It's wonderful that it's a dog friendly place and they make the best fried chicken we've ever had?? She also loves that they have arts and crafts and music/dancing by Party with [name removed].

Needs improvement

We chose Cherry Laurel because of the overall perception of safety and value. There is also a shuttle that is supposed to be available for residents when they need to go off residency. I heard they are having challenges being able to go to appointments when they are scheduled. Staff are Very helpful, but there seems to be several residents have had incidents of theft of miscellaneous items....

A Great Life Decision!

We give our overall experience a 5+++. It has been a wonderful experience. No issues with the cleanliness. The staff are incredible, energy, caring, friendly to all. All great! Super, go above and beyond when it comes to the quality of care. The chefs are excellent, the meals have been great with multiple options to choose from at each meal. The relief of not having to cook has been an extra bonus and the wait staff are amazing in all that they do. If you are bored here it is your own fault. Donna is a bundle of energy and always open for ideas. Something going on almost every day and residents play cards and games in the evening, all are welcome. Cost value is comparable to what I was paying in rent etc. I didn't realize how lonely I was until I moved in here. The residents and staff go out of their way to include new people. I am so happy here. Best decision I have made in a long time. Thank you for leading me here, I am so at home! What a blessing!

Tour of Sky Active Cherry Laurel

We toured Sky Active Cherry Laurel when searching for an Independent Living facility. This facility was depressing. The food was unappealing. The Marketing man was very nice and I liked the Studios, but the resident population was unenthusiastic about the place. The overall impression was dismal.

Best Place in Town

Before moving my mom her 3 yrs ago, we search high and wide for the right fit. We looked at many different price ranges, and finally settled on Cherry Laurel. We couldn't be more satisfied. The staff is like extended family and really goes beyond their scope of practice in caring for residents.
