A place for me
Everyone at Holiday Orchid Terrace has been very kind. I liked it so well I moved in. Of all the places I toured, I liked this one of the best. If you have to be away from your home this place makes you feel very welcome.

Holiday Orchid Terrace
Place is great with the exception of the menu and food. And they need to get better carpet cleaning company. I do worry a bit if some of the residents don't need a little more observation at times. Some of them seem to need more care than is available there without paying for private duty part time help.

Changes happen not for the benefit of the residents. We are not sure if we would recommend Holiday Orchid Terrace to other families based on the experience so far

Review for Holiday Orchid Terrace
My aunt was probably only onsite at OT for 6 days although she technically lived there for about 4 months. I was onsite frequently enough to see how it was run and they had lots of activities, the food looked good and overall I think she really would have enjoyed herself there had her health not declined so rapidly. Her apartment was really nice with a gorgeous view. I would recommend it to anybody, especially people needing some assistance because they can contract with the caregivers on site and most likely get better care than they would from an assisted living (based on my experience with the assisted living she was in before and conversations with others who had relatives in assisted living).

I don't know that much about the facility there was always people calling and wanting to help me, that was great, each time I told them to talk to the family. From the experience I had from people wanting to help yes I would recommend this facility

A nice community.
It has been positive experience all around. Staff are all great. It is a well maintained facility. Dining is nice. Bus driver is awesome. Activity's are nice. A lot going on. Grounds are well maintained and pretty. My only complaint would be there seems to be quite a bit of staff turnover. I think that may be normal in that type of environment. Almost forgot, when Mom got released from [community removed] (where I wouldn't send my worst enemy), we had a week to find somewhere and get her moved. I don't have children or siblings, so it was a challenge. [name removed] and [name removed] did everything they could to make it easier. They even offered to put furniture from the display into her apartment until I could get help moving Mom in

They're always very responsive when I call. If there is an issue, they seem to want to address it ASAP. If this place is still as nice as it is now when I need to go to a place, I'd move there.

Pretty place, wonderful tour
Visited a few weeks ago and was shown around by the General Manager - she was kind, knowledgeable and thorough. Called her today to move forward with moving our parents to Orchid Terrace and she informed us she was no longer with them. We are looking for a different place now. No one else there made us feel the way she did when we met her. Genuine and authentic. Community was nice, clean and our lunch was good. Apartments are nice. Many of these places are the same, sometimes that one person makes the difference.

it’s a great place for him. Everyone is super nice (staff and the people living there) and we really like [name removed] the bus driver. On Tuesday they took a trip to Lone Elk park to see animals and they do other trips like that that get people out of the building, which is nice.

Overall experience or new Resident support
Residents and staff were all very friendly and they worked really hard to get my mother in law acclimated and involved. New residence are assigned an ambassador to show them around and take them to the dining hall and introduce them to others. The staff also stepped in and were making visits to her apt to try to get her involved.

Review for Holiday Orchid Terrace
I would definitely recommend them, I think they might be going through a rough patch in their food service department and will get this corrected. The rest of the place is great! It is very clean, staff is friendly, activities are good, but we struggle with the meals and dining. A menu is put out every week but more times than not, there a menu changes and not for the good. One out of 5 meals is prepared exactly the way the menu reads and is served hot, but sometimes food is not recognizable and not even close to the printed menu. Other than that, my parents love it there.

Excellent staff!
My Mom is very happy at Orchid Terrace. The staff is great. They offer quite a few fun activities. There is a nice walking path outside. During inclement weather, the hallways make for a nice walk. It’s nice having meals and light housekeeping included. There are several gathering places- an activity room, small gym, atrium for concerts, billiards/card room, nice outdoor spaces. The bus driver, [name removed], is great!!

It Feels Like Home!
I love the people here! Both the staff and residents are so nice and welcoming! The activities are so much fun and enriching, there's something for everyone to do.

Staff is wonderful but food is not.
The staff at Orchid Terrace is fantastic. The meals are not so good. They used to be better but most residents have been complaining that the food has bot been good the past 6 months. Food service typically is 20 to 30 minutes late and is usually cold. Dinner does not come to their table until 5:30 pm.

Holiday Orchid Terrace review
We love the people who live there. My Mom had a stroke in April and she needs a lot of assistance now, there is a company there we were able to hire (simply home care) that help her do everything she needs. We were very relieved she could still live there.

I love living at Orchid Terrace
I am a resident at Orchid Terrace and have been for two years. I really like living here! I have previously lived In a similar facility in Florida. My facility in Florida was nice but not as nice as Orchid Terrace! All of the employees are nice and they treat you with kindness and respect! There are a lot of activities for us. [name removed] is our activities director and she does a wonderful job. She is so enthusiastic about her work and always asking for activity suggestions! If you have an interest she will arrange an activity for you! [name removed] has a wonderful relationship with the residents and is so much appreciated! The food is very good! We always have a nice selection and the serving size is great! They are always open to suggestions! Orchid Terrace has great management! [name removed] is the director and she has high visibility! I have seen several directors but never one as great as [name removed]! She does a wonderful job for Orchid Terrace! She has a great staff working for her!

Great Place to Live
This is a great place to live! I love the residents they've grown to become my friends. The staff is great as well. They're fun and helpful and care about me. I get three meals a day, and I don't have to cook or clean!
