Anthology Senior Living

My Dad lived at Travanse Senior Living for a very short time. We found the staff and surroundings to be way more than we could have ever hoped. We needed to move Dad to a different facility for financial reasons, as well as medical. But the folks who tried to make it work for Dad at Travanse went well above the normal and expected. We are grateful for the love and care given to him during his 7 day stay there. Besides being a beautiful place, the workers we encountered truly cared about Dad and our family as a whole. I would not hesitate to recommend this facility to families looking for a good place for a loved one with memory care needs. I could not rate the activities highly because we really didn't have time to evaluate them. The calendar displayed looked like many options would have been available to Dad, but he wasn't able to take advantage because of his own issues.

Everyone is capable and talented. But weekend staffing challenges often impact the resident experience. I would recommend the facility - with the recommendation that the potential resident have an offsite family member/sponsor consistently helping to oversee care.

Very nice facility. Clean, well kept. Lots of amenities. Family involvement in memory care is phenomenal. Hands on staff, overall, is very dedicated and hardworking and loving. Chronically understaffed (like everywhere) but it's getting better. Upper management isn't great so they lose a lot of good staff.

It feels and smells clean, I love that. However the responsiveness to maintenance issues needs to be improved. I also loved how close it is to our house.

The place is fairly expensive but has a wide range of levels of care and activities. It suited my mother well during her last couple of months of life. We picked the community because of its location, it's thoughtful staff, and range of support.

Very good staff who care. It was chosen primarily because of nearby location. I would recommend to others.

It is modern and feels much like a hotel walking in and not an "old folks place". It is very clean and well organized. [name removed], our Sales person, was very passionate and engaged with us from the beginning. Her follow up was by far the best! People smile and I spent enough time there to watch the care attendants with people - they were kind and caring and respectful. The food is in transition, I believe and definitely needs some work. It is the main complaint my parents have

What our family likes the most about the Anthology of Mills community is the friendliness of the staff, the beautiful spaces and the nearby surroundings. We also like their flexible dining. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

My loved one is doing very well at Anthology at the Plaza. He needed the extra care and attention, so he is happy overall. The only thing he really isn't entirely happy with is the food.

. I would have to say my dad experience at the Anthology was a great one. He received the quality of care that he needed. He also was able to enjoy great caregivers. So overall I would say, I would have to rate the Anthology at a very high score of 4+.

My mother is a two year resident of Anthology at the Plaza and the experience has been very good. The meal quality and variety has been good. The staff is friendly and helpful and communication overall has been good. I think the cleaning could be a little better, but I'm pretty picky about that. The staff concern and care have been very good. I would recommend this facility to others.

Anthology is a newer facility, beautiful inside and out. The shared spaces are well planned and generous. The apartments are nice with adequate space, some with balconies overlooking a fabulous courtyard. Staffing is sometimes an issue, and that ebbs and flows. Their Activities Director is clearly very invested in delivering a great experience for the residents. High quality and plentiful activities are Anthology's strongest attribute, making it easy for residents to be engaged, stimulated, and to meet others. The location is ideal, immediately adjacent to Blue Ash's Summit Park and good restaurants. Being somewhat new, there are still some kinks to work out, but I would recommend Anthology when comparing it to many of its peers.

I would recommend. You have the park outside with all of their activities. Restaurants within walking distance. The facility is trying very hard. They have the same issues as others with retaining good staff. They have monthly meeting to get input from their residents. My loved one chose this community, and because of the location, facility, and they offered Memory Care and Assisted Living.

It was new, lovely and bright with nice and differing common areas. They have a pool, decent activities, sales person was engaging, staff friendly, lots of people milling around, bistro for coffee, snacks, beverages and sandwiches. Beautiful courtyard and catholic service with communion weekly.PT and OT are very good, staff is very nice but they are understaffed as are all places and it can take awhile for someone to answer call bell. Facility is clean and well maintained but room cleaning is spotty. Residents are generally engaging. My husband is very happy there. Food leaves a bit to be desired but nice that dining is open all day and there is a menu you can always order from along with daily specials. Activities tend to be more female oriented, again all facilities have this issue.

Meals for independent residents is too bland, to soft, not appetizing. How many ways can you make hamburger? Ask the chef.

This place treats me so well. Great staff. [name removed] is a wonderful caregiver and there is always something to do. I have loved living here. They treat me so kindly and the staff always says hello when they pass in the hallways. I feel cared for and welcomed.

I didn't care for Anthology. Although aesthetically pleasing, the atmosphere seemed dreary almost. Figured that maybe the vast majority of residents receive a high level of care. My aunt's not "there" - yet.

The worst problem has been communication with nursing, staff etc. It's hard to get a message to the staff by phone. You have to be there and even then it's hard to be sure of follow through. I would also say that staffing issues are big....but this is not a fault of this particular place. It's industry wide. They have gone through hiring and staffing issues. I felt more comfortable when I was staying on top of everything until all the kinks were ironed out. I would recommend this facility to others, but with the caveat that families keep a close eye at first to make sure what they think is happening is actually happening.

The facility is very nice. The common areas are clean, bright and modern. The administrative staff is competent, friendly, easy to access and helpful. The dining room is lovely and the food is good with many choices. Overall the care staff is very good. One problem is that the care staffing is not enough, but that is common at all these senior living places. Overall my parents have had a very good experience at Anthology.

We would recommend this community to other families, and we like that the internet is working good for our loved one.
