Samit Management

i just received the printed info from them yesterday. Am reviewing when I have time to sit with it. Liked the sound of the facility and the prices are "doable".

We really were pleased with Paradise and director who we met with was delightful and very informative and we were very torn between Paradise and Hamptom Meadows. The room was lovely and very clean.

We chose this community because of the location and the pricing was affordable. It was also easy to get into. The room sizes were very nice, my mother had a private room. I would recommend Paradise Assisted Living to a friend or family member.

Generally friendly staff. Some issues with getting medications dispensed correctly. They are working to fix the issue. My mom's single room is nice, good light, and is a good amount of space. Mom says food is "ok". Very few folks mom can hold a conversation with, appears to be a lot of memory care. Facility size is medium based on my tour experiences. Recommend checking in with family member and facility staff regularly to ensure meds are correct, showers are given, room cleaned, etc.

I think the head nurse, GM and building mgr are great. The price was a driver as was the candor of the exec director. He admited to the things they were still working on which included staff. His honesty was refreshing.

My loved one was a resident at Paradise Assisted Living and overall the experience was okay. There were minimal activities at this facility and many more were promised than those that actually took place. They also raised the rent significantly within less than a year of my loved one living here. Overall, I would recommend this facility for people who are on a major fixed income.

Based on the experience we have had so far with Paradise Assisted Living, we think they could improve on the overall family communication, nurse availability/responsiveness. However I do like the value here.

For the price it is a good place. The staff is always willing to answer questions or going to find the answer for the families. The room is sparse and furniture was provided. The food is decent. The dining room is somewhat small.

No structure. Residents just sitting around. Staff on cell phones. Old facility needs updating. Do not recommend.

Appears to be reasonable cost and benefits.

I wasn't impressed with the furnishing of the common area of the house.

My loved one lived in this community briefly. It was a nice enough place, it was clean and the staff were friendly. It ended up not being a good fit for her, the environment just didn't mesh well with her, and it was a bit too far for family to visit as often as she'd like.

Convienient location. Clean. Cheapest $2,100/mo. Director intimidating. Self absorbed. Staff not so friendly on the phone.

My tour was very informative, and this place appears to suited to my mom's needs.

The activities really need a huge improvement, one of the reason we chose this community was because of the activities. However they have gone through some internal changes in management and now the activities are non existent and our loved one is very social.

When we came for our tour everyone was just sitting around in the hallways and not doing much. The furniture was extremely old and it was not updated at all. It was also not as clean as I would have liked to have seen it. I could not recommend them based on what I saw.

Not enough staff for memory care unit...Not enough staff in general...

NO SMOKING AND VERY DREARY

This place is depressing as soon as you open the front door. It smells bad and you are faced with a lobby full of people in wheelchairs, half of whom are asleep. My husband entered Shangri-la with our expectation that he would be well cared for. He has Alzheimer's and the staff mis-led us as to their capability to care for Alzheimer's patients. There were almost no activities for the dementia patient. The staff is small and not geared to handle dementia patients, especially those who wander. Therefore these patients often are off some where on their own and can get into trouble. Despite being assured that they were able to care for my husband with his proclivity for wandering, our family was asked to remove him after 8 short weeks because they could not care for him. Shangri-la it's not!

I toured recently. The director sat at her desk with a soda in one hand and chips in the other and would not tour me until she was done eating. It seemed that 3/4 of the rooms were empty. The place was like a ghost town. Last year, a friend of me told me the place was run very well and was full. I don't know what happened, but I am not impressed by the new executive director. I'm assuming thats who it was, that is what she told us. Someone else called her the manager. She said she was managing Paradise and Shangri la. The other staff seemed very nice and caring.
