Seveska review

After helping care for another loved one in a memory facility, I was pleasantly surprised by how cleaned and well maintained the facility is. The staff is awesome and very attentive so far, our mother has only been there a few weeks. The nurses are very educated and experienced in memory care, the physical therapist that works with our mom( [name removed]) is phenomenal! The nurses assistant that help her shower and dressed and ready for bed are also very good. As stated previously we hope this continues for the rest of her stay at Encore and this type of care is maintained throughout her stay.

Very good overall. Would recommend.

5/5 overall with the exception of staff, but the issues were much more a management problem than a staff problem. We've had difficulties due to staff turnover, trying to get ahold of people who no longer worked there and was never told about the change of personnel/had to investigate and gradually find out on my own the nurse and others had suddenly left. Staff has allowed people to take Mom out of the facility without notifying me , I've spoken to Management about it, hopefully it doesn't happen again. We like it. It is very good overall and otherwise, just minor difficulties.

They are very knowledgeable with past experiences, and honing in on the care your loved one needs and what can be achieved. The staff are great with responding to emails. They do have good communication with the family in person as well. The community is able to handle medication management, hygiene, dressing, and bathing assistance as some of the care types they offer. They also work well with hospice.

Great place and really enjoy it here

They are very friendly here. With all of the staff and the great neighbors this is a great place to be. I normally go over once a week for meals and plan to go more they do a good job with the food. I really enjoy being at this community and being a part of things here. They have activities like entertainment that comes in for the residents and more. Last time there was a five piece group that played a band and there is another one coming up where two girls will be coming in to sing country music. This community is renovated and it is a really nice place.
