They have a load of activities that she goes to and I think that's going to keep her mind sharper much longer than if she was still living alone. She goes to Mahjong, exercise classes, live music and recitals, plus a lively happy hour each Friday. Most of the folks there are so vibrant, coming from all over the US and different countries. They also have "armchair astronomy" classes and various lectures. The staff are caring, pleasant, and helpful. Dawn and Ralph, the managers, do a great job. I'm so glad we found this place. Mom was hesitant to go live there and she recently told me how much better her life is now that she's with other people.

The excuse given was the pandemic. The food was poor quality and residents frequently waited 30-45 to get waited on because there was not adequate wait staff. The tables are so crowded together (because the Enclave couldn't or wouldn't hire enough wait staff to open the other dining room) that it was dangerous for residents using walkers or scooters to navigate between them. Thank goodness my mom did not need any assistance in her apartment. She was mobile and able to take her own medications. There was CONSTANT turnover in all areas including management. We gave 30 day notice, moved Mom to Brookdale (wonderful!)in June and now are fighting for the 1/2 month refund we are due. The incompetence at this facility is truly unbelievable. Don't move your loved one here!

Our close family friend was a resident at Shenandoah Villas for quite some time. He was well cared…read morefor by all the staff members and enjoyed his time there. The family owned and operated business is unique in that residents are treated like extended family. Their combined experience is extensive and is shown on a daily basis by their excellent care and compassion. The meals that are served are completely homemade, healthy and nutritious; you won't find processed foods here. Whole foods with protein, vegetables and fruits are on the daily menu. I came to learn that the owner, Zalina, built this facility from the ground up nearly 30 years ago. It's no accident that Shenandoah Villas has been in business for that many years.

None of the clients smile, laugh, interact with others, and all have an institutional appearance…read more The staff does not show compassion, caring, or love for their clients. Meals were fine and staff so inattentative they allowed a client to eat with her fingers when a spoon would have been helpful. Staff expects family to get prescriptions in one day, because of lack of planning by Shenandoah, and have no comprehension that on line prescriptions are significantly cheaper for the family but take more than one day to receive. Staff protests when family members request a list of medications to order, things to get, etc. At times family members are treated as employees of Shenandoah. Staff seldom holds doors open for family members moving clients in a wheelchair and never helps family members get clients into and out of a vehicle. There are no religious services, group activities, daily exercises, hair stylists or someone to do nails and pedicures for their clients. Staff fussed at a woman who had a stroke because she couldn't hold her head upright. There is no evidence the staff has had any formal medical training and neither the staff or visiting Dr spotted a facial cancer. Socialization is not encouraged and clients are directed to go to their rooms after meals. There no DVR in the room of facility for clients to watch old time TV and shows. Chairs were placed in front of one of three exits because of a wandering Alzheimer's client. Fortunately the chairs were finally removed before any emergency occured. Senior management of this fiefdom is by a loud, dictatorial, power hungry, bossy would be warden. Absolutely no way this place deserves a 5*rating.

Hi, I just wanted to share my email to The Clairmont management regarding the excellent experience…read moreof the holiday season. Hi, I just wanted to thank you and all of the staff for making such a wonderful Holiday Season, great Holiday dinners, beautiful decorations and everything else you did to make everyone happy and thankful. We had the most beautiful decorations and the nicest Christmas Tree I have ever seen. You may not realize how much you added to everyone's joyful celebration, but you did. I sent pictures of our decorations to everyone in my family and they loved them too. Most of my family do not live here, but the pictures brought us together. These are the types of things that made me want to come live here. It is because you care, very much, about all of the residents, and we can tell. You don't have to do these things. You do them because you want to and that is what makes them special. This year, if you are looking for volunteers to decorate or anything else for the holidays, please let me know. I would really like to help. It has been many years since I decorated for the holidays. So, if you are looking for a place to live and need a little help from time to time, The Clairmont may be the right place for you. It is the perfect place for me.

First of all I'd like to say that the Clairmont is doing a pretty good job but could do better. I…read morehave had trouble with the billing department getting back to me. There was a problem with the facility apartment insurance request. I paid and submitted the forms about a month prior to move-in and the first bill over 6 weeks later included a fee for not having insurance. I tried contacting the billing office and requested a call back to get things clarified. This did not happen and the problem was not fixed. I again went to Francine who has been my anchor at the Clairmont to get problems fixed. I finally received approval of the policy on October 17th but I had submitted the information in early August! In addition the bill itself was incorrect. The dinning room food has improved, per my father, but the utensils are still awful! I do wish your administrative staff would try using the forks at the facility and imagine that they have arthritis in their hands as these residents frequently do. My dad does better with most plastic forks than the forks supplied at the Clairmont. Please, this should be an easy upgrade. One thing we really appreciate is the ability to have a pet and to have a fenced "yard" area outside of their apartment. I think this adds a homey feel for many of the residents. Better water access would be a plus for those with outside plants. You have outside waste bins for doggy waste but no plastic bags at the one outside of the building for the last 6 weeks. Your showers do not have safety bars inside of the shower, Since most of the residents at this facility use walkers, canes or wheelchairs, why do you think it unnecessary to have a safety bar inside of the shower? This would be a considerate and wise upgrade for the apartments. Overall, we (the family) really like this facility and the people who live and work there. My Dad is still adjusting......

I'm not sure where to start. I guess first of all I felt everything we were told when we looked at…read morethis place was not 100% accurate. Im not sure how to feel about the staff. 50/50 I guess that they should have even been working in a memory care. When people are dealing with elderly people with possible injuries there should be training on how you treat them and care for them. People care is an important job, Elderly care is an important job. Be careful who you choose to do that. It's hard to get straight answers from the nurse. And don't ask questions cause they don't take too kindly to that. I requested to put a camera in my Moms room, they didn't like that.. at all. My Mom was sick the week after she got there, but no one noticed she wasn't feeling well. I had been telling them all week. She was lethargic and wanted to sleep And had a horrible cough. She wasn't eating. I said to let her sleep on one evening and noooooo, an aide physically took her out of bed and put her in a wheelchair to take her to eat in the diningroom. That Sunday I told them I was taking her to the ER. They didn't want me to and said they could get her chest xray and blood there, didn't know when or how long to get results. Felt they needed to call my Brother to tell him I signed her out. My 86 yr old Mom with Dementia was admitted to the hospital where she spent 5 days. Influenza A and a UTI - No she didn't go back.

My mom has been a resident of The Isle at Cedar Ridge for 10 days now, and I am so pleased with the…read morecare she is receiving and how smoothly her transition to an assisted living environment has gone. I toured several assisted living communities in the northern suburbs of Austin while Mom was living in an independent living community and had chosen The Isle as the best fit for her when she needed more assistance, but it has turned out to be even better than I anticipated! Mom made the transition to assisted living after being hospitalized for influenza; she was very weak and not really "herself" (and I was super stressed!) when we moved her in. The kindness we both received from EVERYONE at The Isle has been incredible! Just to name a few... The Directory of Health Services, Arica, helped me set Mom up with a PCP who is excellent and who visits The Isle weekly. Arica and her staff not only immediately coordinated administration of all my mom's medications/treatments (including supplemental oxygen and nebulized medications), Arica also knows all the specifics of my mom's medical situation off the top of her head when I call her (she must have an amazing memory!). It really makes me feel confident that, during a medically complex time, my mom is getting great care. The entire therapy staff (physical, occupational, speech; Select Rehabilitation) at The Isle is phenomenal! My mom has been receiving daily therapy as her time in the hospital weakened her, so she needs a wheelchair now. I have every confidence that she won't need it for long with Mei, Dwayne, Amy and Ashley working with her! These guys already know (and treat) Mom as a person that they value, and they are working hard to help her get better! The caregivers at The Isle (shout out to Darla, Diane, Ali and Casey) have also been so kind to my mom! She was really scared when she moved in - in addition to being moved from the ER to hospital to in-patient rehab before landing at The Isle - she's dealing with 24/7 oxygen use and the wheelchair. She also was living independently before, so needing to rely on people she just met for pretty much everything was very new. I am so grateful to these women for their care! There are so many more people at The Isle that deserve mention - Megan for being so supportive to me (because it is a pretty stressful time when you are responsible for the care of your ill, elderly parent); Ruth for arranging a packed schedule of daily activities that my mom absolutely LOVES; Jacque (who is a nurse in addition to being the Ex Director) for being so open in her communication and inspiring confidence in her team; Andrew, who is so helpful and friendly and who knows where everything is; and Rose, who, just today, drove my mom (in her wheelchair) in a bus to a doctor's appointment and made me so grateful I didn't have to work out transferring her from the wheelchair to my car and back. When you tour assisted living facilities, to be honest, it really isn't your favorite day. But, I really felt like "the vibe" was good at The Isle and I decided, almost a year ago now, to trust them with caring for my mom when the time came that she needed it. Well, the time came this December on the heels of the flu, and I could not be more glad that I made the choice I did!

Infected employees were not immediately removed from duty, isolated, or replaced. There was no proper quarantine, masking enforcement, contact tracing, or notification to residents or their families. This exposed vulnerable senior residents, many with underlying medical conditions, to serious risk of illness. The staff were not given proper PPE or guidance on usage of PPE The Executive Director is an arrogant rude unprofessional disrespectful clown and a disgusting jerk who treats his staff especially in Assisted living as dirt. The food is unhygienic, bland and not worth for human consumption and the kitchen is infested with roaches and bugs. Unfortunately the dietary needs of residents are not taken in consideration. The hallways smell of urine and stale mold The elevator has been broken and non functional multiple times in Assisted living. Not to mention flooding of rooms is common during any rains.. The maintainance is equally despicable and pathetic.. and very slow to respond or too careless to respond.¹ This facility is not worth any negative stars.
