Community Reviews
Highly Recommend
reviewed on: 02/05/2016 by AnonymousMy brother toured Emeritus and another community and chose to go with Emeritus and I am very happy he did. Things are going really well. I have been there 8 times and the staff is always very friendly and go out of their way to help with anything. I have referred several others to look into this community for their loved ones as well. The laundry service is great. The physical therapy department isn't as good as it could be, but we understand the limited space for equipment. The food is good, sometimes great. For those who live there, there is always entertainment that the residents are able to participate in. There is also a school close by so some kids come and visit with the residents which they all love. They do also provide nice church type services for those who want that.
A Place for Mom
reviewed on: 12/12/2016 by DottieI have been very happy with the staff and the care at Emertius. They make the location feel like a home versus a facility ! They care and get the residents involved with the activities .
Currently a great community
reviewed on: 06/08/2017 by AnonymousThe staff at this community are good. Mom likes the food and some of the daily activities they offer. They do keep the community and her apartment clean. The community is close to family and friends. This community was just bought by another company so I am waiting to see if there are any changes before I recommend it.
My Apology and Gratitude to Above and Beyond at the Knights
reviewed on: 11/20/2018 by Christine SforzaAbout a year ago I wrote a review for Above and Beyond at the Knights (ABK) that today shames and embarrasses me to the bone. I want to replace it with this re-review until I can get A Place for Mom to delete the earlier one. When we first placed Mom in ABK, we were half-crazy with grief and confusion because of her sudden deterioration into aggressive dementia. I wrote a scathing review at a time when the family was in shock and we didn't know who that enraged, belligerent vicious woman was, because she certainly wasn't our Mom. But yes, she was. ABK was also not fully sure what they were going to be dealing with when she arrived, but they bravely and confidently took on the challenge. When various approaches to Mom's condition were tried and some proved difficult to balance at first, and we were being relentlessly hounded by several other facilities to place Mom with them, this is when I chose to put my fury and rage and fear for Mom into a terrible review of ABK . I should have counted to ten at least ten times before I wrote it. Gradually, everything changed. Under the laser-focussed and loving care she received from the owner, Naila, and her kind staff, Mom has been treated to such loving kindness and affection, such dedication to her well-being, that I will always be grateful that the team accepted her and are doing more for her than we would ever be able to do on her behalf. Mom has graduated from Memory Care to Assisted Living. The challenges of caring for our Mom are dealt with in a reasonable way, the management is made of some of the THE BEST and wisest human beings I have ever had the good fortune to encounter and to trust, and the staff are loving and buoyant despite the circumstances of caring for such a wide variety of age-related conditions and other situations that plague us as humans. I strongly suggest you not notice that ABK isn't perfect (no place on earth is, and obviously I am not either) and it doesn't look like the Taj Mahal, but the care your loved one will receive should do more for him/her and your family than you can now imagine. This place, Above and Beyond at the Knights, has a heart bigger than the building it occupies. Please give them a chance to do their best for you or your loved one. All that, and the food, prepared as you would do at home, is delicious and nutritious as well. I am now a volunteer reader at ABK and my one remaining regret is that I actually forgot that first review and should have done this re-review a LONG time ago. My humble apologies to Naila and the staff and my gratitude to you as well. God bless you.
First impression
reviewed on: 09/08/2015 by PauletteMay first impression of Emeritus when I entered the building was that my mother is going to really enjoy being here! After only one week she is doing great and likes her apartment so much better than where she had been! She is happy and not crying anymore! Everyone here is so nice and very friendly! I feel very comfortable having her stay there!
