I am currently a resident at Camellia at Deerwood and I can honestly say that my rating for everything is a five. Everything has been going very well. My only problem has been coordinating my doctor visits and getting my prescriptions delivered. I think that will get worked out. Otherwise, my experience has been great.

The facility is nice and well kept but the key is the staff and the residents. The welcoming environment exceeded any other - even those much more expensive. My mother has a two bedroom apartment with a full kitchen. Very good condition and facility support is excellent when there are issues (a/c, etc). She also had maid service one a week (standard with all units) and clothes washing service for a very nominal amount. The apartment is certainly roomy enough for her but it's only around 1000sqft. Slightly on the small side for a standard two bedroom.

Staff and residents are very friendly. Many opportunities to socialize based on the resident.I would recommend. The best endorsement I can share is I popped by to visit my Dad the other day and he was showered, shaved and dressed nice to go down to dinner. This last year he has been existing but now I feel like he is living again. We picked this community because, it felt more homey but still spacious.

Based on what I've seen and experienced when I visit mom, I give everything a 5 except for the meals/dining. Mom complains about long waits and sometimes running out of food options due to shortage of workers. They can't seem to keep chef's there. Everyone really likes the new director (name removed). Lots of activities. I've actually gone to a couple of exercise classes with mom. (name removed) is great! We laugh a lot in there. New activities person seems to be organizing more Friday outings which mom likes. I love that many of the doctors and services are right there at (name removed). Overall, my mom seems very happy. Lots of opportunities to socialize. Her 1 bedroom apt is really nice!

I would let others know that independent living and assisted living are all together. And if you're in independent living there is absolutely no interaction. Another area they could improve on would be the activities, I think they need to provide more of them for the residents. I would not recommend Camellia at Deerwood, I am wanting to move my loved one soon.

Don't go! The food is all prepackaged food. They do not cook it on site, except for breakfast. They are short staffed. The activities have gone down hill. Any communication I get, no one answers the phone when I call back. My loved one was in the hospital and somehow they didn't get her paperwork when she returned. I assumed that was required for her to return to the facility.

My parents loved Camellia at Deerwood, we will actually be going back soon to have lunch so we can taste the food. My parents are both very active and they seemed to have a lot to do here. They had an excercise room, water aerobics outside in the pool, etc. The staff were awesome.

The meals and activities could use some improvements, due to the pandemic they had to discount a lot of their main activities. However they did a very good job coordinating the vaccines so all the residents could get their shots so we are hoping the activities quickly start back up. We also think the value is excellent. Our loved one really likes that they have a van service that takes them to and from places, they also have an exercise room and a pool area. Everything is well maintained.

meets most of our parent's expectations. Staff is especially helpful, room size is generous, and location is convenient. One potential issue is providing gluten free meal selections. After a meeting with the Executive chef we were back in our comfort zone.
