Leisure Care, LLC/One Eighty

I was impressed both with the staff and the facility itself. It was clean and felt like it could be my home. I especially liked all the living options all the apartments were spacious and some had fireplaces and a real kitchen I am still doing research on communities but this is one of the ones at the top of my list

The choice to have our family member move from his home to assisted living, was one of the hardest choices we've had to make. To be honest, It's hard to say who the choice was harder on. He had made it clear from day one, that his independence and privacy was paramount to his comfort. He had also ALWAYS told us how he absolutely NEVER wanted to "go into a nursing home". We felt like in a way, we would be failing on our end if we couldn't give him the care that he needed. We contacted several locations and checked reviews, safety records, health department records and did visual inspections for various locations. Then we contacted a service that helps narrow down your choice based on your needs and wants, and they set up appointments for you! Based on our needs, Mackenzie Place was one of them they recommended. We had already seen some of their reviews and we were not able to find any reviews stating less than excellent. When we were contacted by Mackenzie Place they were sincere, professional, and funny! Their representative, Mark, was flexible when we had to change the appointment and sugested that with all we had going on, that we should let them serve us an amazing lunch to let us sample their food and give us a break from cooking and catering to someone else. When we arrived we were so impressed! The inside is more what you would expect to see in an Aspen ski lodge as opposed to a traditional assisted living facility. We were welcomed and greeted by residents and employees alike. When we arrived there was a poker game going on in the bar, some ladies returning from shopping at the mall, another couple of ladies talking about their trip to the salon upstairs.... It was fantastic! The focus was clearly on living here, and living well! Mark greeted us and introduced us to several other guests and employees, then suggested that we have lunch, talk and relax a bit then go on a tour. For lunch we had saffron seared scallops, delicious salads, and steaks. The atmosphere was an upscale restaurant. While Mark was talking to us he was just talking, not selling anything. He asked lots of questions about our family, told us about his, told us about some of the guests and their families and cracked some jokes. This luncheon was just about relaxing and enjoying the food and atmosphere. During the tour we were "wowed" with all of the daily activities available; poker, bingo, movies in the movie theater, salon, library, gift shop, game rooms, some ladies were knitting in one of the rooms, there was an exercise room and pool- and they have 85% of their residents that are involved in their physical fitness program. There were something like 26 floor plans to choose from.... Fast forward a couple of months and our family member has been delighted there! He is quite the gambler, has made some friends and he loves the food every meal. He chooses from eating at any of the three restaurants / areas or has it delivered to his apartment. His apartment is super clean, his laundry is taken care of for him every week, and the staff have become friends. He can't get over how nice everyone is, and he is constantly heard telling his outside friends that this place is the Cadillac of places. He feels like he is living the way people only dream to live. From my perspective, Mackenzie Place, has surpassed my expectations and any expectations I didn't think to have. I equate it to cruise ship living. The facility is awesome, the food is fantastic, but truly as always it all comes down to the people. It's the staff at Mackenzie Place that make it what it is. They are ALL so genuinely friendly and caring. They are professional with the way they do their jobs, represent themselves and their company. They are the cream of the crop.

We moved my husband into MacKenzie Place Memory Care a few weeks ago. We had gone through the entire admission process at another place first, and it didn’t work out. After several exhausting days and a disappointing outcome, I dreaded going through the whole process again. However, the entire staff at MacKenzie Place, from the two marketing people we met with, Suzanne and Alan, to Michelle the Move-In Coordinator, Candace the Health Coordinator, Coley the Memory Care Director, and all the Memory Care staff, too many wonderful people to name, every single person was professional, understanding and caring. Every question was met with a knowledgeable answer, every issue was met with a creative solution, every concern was met with compassion for my husband and me. The Memory Care staff has been trained in each specific type of dementia, the behaviors and ways of dealing with them. That is so awesome because my husband has a less common type of dementia, Fronto Temporal Dementia, that exhibits very different behaviors than Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s dementia or others. Some of his behaviors are extremely difficult to deal with. Some places I had looked at, were not really aware of FTD and had not had any residents with FTD. The MacKenzie Place Memory Care staff was not only aware of FTD, but specificially trained in how to patiently deal with him and successfully redirect him. MacKenzie Place was ready for him! They welcomed my husband and made him feel at home right off the bat. He made friends right away, and the staff made him feel useful and helpful, which means a lot to him because he is the youngest and most cognitively functional one in the unit. They have made me feel so welcome as well, as I spend a few hours a day with him, and usually share a meal with him every day. They treat me so warmly and special. They encourage family to spend time with their loved ones, share a meal or participate in activities with them. My husband enjoys the activities provided there. They have live music a couple times a week, games to stimulate mind and body, and his favorite, the Friday afternoon excursion on the bus. The meals are very good. My husband tells everyone about how delicious the food is! The housekeeping is top notch. Every Tuesday when I come, his room is spotless, and his laundry is clean and fresh. I love going to MacKenzie to hang out with my husband! There are other amenities in the other part of the building that Memory Care residents are welcome to use if accompanied by a family member. My husband and I enjoy the hot tub, the exercise room, the pool table, have a cup of coffee in the pub, attend church service in the chapel sometimes, and he has had a pedicure at the salon! I cannot speak highly enough of MacKenzie Place, especially the Memory Care Unit! It has been a huge blessing to us to get my husband into a place where he is happy, well cared for, feels useful and respected, and where I feel like a huge burden has been lifted off my shoulders. I would recommend MacKenzie Place Memory Care for anyone who has a loved one with dementia.

Great facility that works hard to make your family members feel welcome and fit in.

I toured this facility today and found them to offer superior memory care services on a secure floor

My grandmother lived at Ashbrook for a little over two years. She recently passed and we are broken-hearted. I must tell you that she received the best care and love at Ashbrook--our family is grateful for the staff and Gary for making my grandmother feel like she was special, as she was to us. The nurses are caring and concerned for their charges--everyone is treated with respect. My grandmother was a tough customer--her cleanliness standards were very high--and met by the wonderful housekeeper employed by Gary. I met with my grandmother on several occasion during lunches and dinner. The food was perfect for her needs. I see no reason for complaint. My grandmother was picky and she ate everything--always! She only ever complained of having a sandwich once in a while, for lunch, and that's just personal preference on her part. I could write a novel filled with accolades about Gary and Ashbrook--but I will end with saying that even when a time came that many other homes would have turned her away for health reasons--Gary never did. He would do anything to keep your loved one out of a nursing home. Thank you to Gary--and to all of the exceptional staff at Ashbrook. We made the right choice--so lucky for my grandmother. She was blessed.

I would give anything if Ashbrook Village had been here when I had to place my brother in an assisted living facility! Ashbrook Village is the cleanest, best-run facility in the area. The residents are well-cared for, mentally stimulated, and kept engaged. Gary has done a fabulous job.

Wonderful place and wonderful care to my family! I feel blessed and safe that she is in good hands!! We are grateful to have such a wonderful place near us!

I toured this community while looking into care options for my brother. The facility was well kept and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional. This was a little out of the way for our family so we ended up selecting another community, but this is somewhere I would have felt comfortable placing my brother.

THIS PLACE IS FABULOUS. GLAD I FOUND IT

We are moving my mom in this week and I have to say, it has made my life soooooo much easier to have the Fairwinds' staff's support. Stephanie, Nicole and everyone else have been fantastic!!! They are knowledgeable, compassionate and professional.. This is a warm, inviting, safe and cozy place to transfer her to. She has lived with us for 4 years and is 92, so the whole experience is a challenge. But I am so grateful for their help and experience!! I'll post more when she has been there a bit, but so far, very impressive...

Our experience at Fairwinds has been beyond our expectations. Our first visit with Alecia laid the foundation and made mom comfortable. She was treated with a respect and consideration that is hard to find these days. They went the extra mile to help mom get acquainted with the facility and the residents. Frankly, the residents really are wonderful. They introduce themselves and do a huge part in making mom feel at home. That is the hardest part of the move for mom, feeling at home. Honestly, it has taken a few weeks but she has settled into her new home. The entire staff from the folks that clean her room, that help her get around, to the servers and kitchen staff, they are all exceptional folks. Kudos to the personnel staff in how they vet their employees and train them. They have created an atmosphere, a culture, that is comfortable, fun and pleasant. The facility has been kept up and the mature trees really help the environment and make an overall pleasant experience. The food is absolutely wonderful. The only problem is there is too much served even at half portions. It is prepare in a healthy manner and it varies enough throughout the week. The servers really work hard in connecting with the folks they serve. We are all very pleased with the decision we made to make Fairwinds mom's new home.

Very nice but expensive. Every thing costs extra. By the time we added up comparisons the price was about double other places

Again close to home. Beautiful property. All the amenities. Food credit of 400 each month to spend in dining room. Theater pool fitness center. 2 phases of the property. Indepentent living assisted living..stay in the same apartment.Right now full.

Superior Facility with the most updated programs for Memory Care Patients. Everyone is trained for Level 2 Dementia. We put a deposit down for my mother once she leaves rehab from a fall.

We are so pleased with Russelville park. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Our grandfather is living in assisted living and doing very well. Living far from him, we're so thankful for all the helping hands to ensure both his safety and quality of life. I'd highly recommend Russelville!

Wonderful and clean just like a five star hotel.

The memory care unit staff is very attentive and works with outside health care providers to meet our father's medical needs. When family visits they have all been impressed with the onsite options to take Dad to outside of the memory care for a restaurant quality meal or beer and pool at the pub. These onsite options makes it easier to spend time with Dad and not be confined to his room. The Dad's room and the whole facility is always clean and orderly. In short since Dad moved into MacKenzie Place he is happy and healthy.

Having been a firefighter for 34 years, I was used to answering calls for elderly people in distress for various reasons. Some of these calls were to facilities that housed and cared for them. I haven't seen a place that measures up to this one, Springfield Place. From day one, the Sales Advisor that handled getting us the right studio apartment, the Manager that runs the facility, the Nurse, the Activities Director, Caregivers, Receptionists, Building Maintenance staff, Chef and crew, and Cleaning staff have all been professional and compassionate. I have met many of the residents, and this is reflected in their positive attitudes and comments of their experiences there as well. The energy there is extremely cheerful and uplifting. The staff does a great job of making the daily schedule interesting. The caregivers do a great job of helping mom shower, and other daily necessities. I have eaten a number of meals there, and you feel like you are in a restaurant. The young waiters and waitresses really bring a spark to the dining room. Hats off to the chef for well thought out and well prepared meals. I really feel like mom is finally in good hands.

The property is really nice. My mom is not receiving care services from the facility because they do not have any openings on the assisted living side. My mom does not participate in any activities, but that is her choice.
