Nice, modern facility and friendly staff

My parents have been living at Talamore for about a month and they are enjoying their shared 1 bedroom, 1 den apartment, the activities, and the meals. I really like the bright, open, modern lobby and community areas, and that there are so many opportunities for my mom and dad to connect with other seniors and have social activities. The one drawback that they have reported is waiting a long time for meals - since they are served sit-down restaurant style with servers, and it seems they are short-staffed in the dining area. Overall, I am happy they are there - and they are doing well getting settled and welcomed in.

The building is beautiful and new. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food served is healthy and the choices are varied. [name removed] was so helpful when my daughter and I visited Talamore for the first time. He took his time with us and showed us the amenities and choices available for apartments. [name removed] is a true asset to Talamore and continues to check on our needs as we move from independent living to assisted living.

Attractive living environment. My mother loves the food and she sleeps well at night.

What we like the most about Talamore Woodbury is the New construction. Contemporary upscale décor. Safe areas to walk. Friendly residents. On site activities and services. Great chef! Food is fantastic. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

Talamore Woodbury review

They are very organized and have some many options for activities, etc. She is in independent living and it's plenty big enough… They offer cleaning services, etc. and there's lots of activities from movies to bingo to bridge to outings, etc.

You couldn't do better than this!

Every person’s worst nightmare is having a loved one need to move away from home. Touring choices was depressing until Talamore turned out to be my “pot of gold” at the end of a dark rainbow. At Talamore, memory care was just what I was looking for. I walked into a bright cheery area where staff were welcoming but also the residents - folks who were not “drugged happy” but genuinely happy to be living there. We returned the next day and [name removed] was excited about moving in. My husband has now lived at Talamore for over five months- he’s content and I am pleased with his care. Activity directors have a varied daily activity plan and are enthusiastic and familiar with each resident. Everything is positive and inclusive. Food quality and variety is also a highlight of Talamore. I hope when families are looking for a healthy and happy place for their loved one, they check out Talamore. It has been a God-sent answer to face the necessity of my husband living away from home contentedly.

Beautiful senior home

I toured Talamore and absolutely loved it. When you look at places to spend your time there are often immediate reactions. This one was a wow! The apartments were so fresh and light that I immediately felt at home. I felt comfortable and safe in this space. Feeling safe even in a first-floor apartment for me was a first. I knew instantly that I would be happy here. Everyone was friendly and attentive. I encourage you to visit.

Beautiful, warm, friendly, thoughtful design

I met with [name removed] and we had a nice conversation about Talamore. He was very friendly and helpful with my questions. I was there because I was possibly looking to move my mother from another senior facility. We decided to keep her there, because she wasn't wanting to move at her age. She is 98! I wish we had looked at Talamore before making the original move we did with her. It is truly a beautiful place! Thank you [name removed], for the conversation and the tour!

All we could have hoped for!

I would give Talamore a 5 in all categories-at least to the best of my knowledge. For instance, we had little interaction with admin staff, but everyone seemed nice. The food was exceptional, delicious from my perspective but my mom ( the actual resident) complained. Maybe it was a little fancy for older midwestern palates. But they did have options. The setting was beautiful; cost of care was high, but completely comparable to other to communities. I was actually shocked that the rates were not higher once I was more aware of this particular market. The care was the most exceptional aspect of Talamore. The nurses, assistants & other medical professionals were always kind & respectful and seemed to love my mom. I observed all staff in all areas ( food service, reception etc.) would go out of their way to help, check on, greet, socialize etc. with residents & families. My mom died last week, and we have no regrets about her care during those last days. They kept her comfortable and peaceful, & helped us navigate this time. Staff also worked seamlessly with hospice . If I could rate Talamore higher, I would!

A caring staff who do this because they love it

We picked Caretta despite that it is a half hour from where I am living due to my work. There were much closer ones, but the staff here impressed us above all the others. My husband was actively involved in choosing here. He felt other places we saw looked only at his diagnosises, as he was not as cognitively capable as he actually is. At Caretta they saw him from the first meeting, not his diagnosis, and got to know who he is. Since he moved in 2 months ago we have been happy with our choice. The staff we've interacted with all have an attitude that this is more than a job.

The facility is exceptionally clean and the staff is very helpful, present and available. As far as the value for the money that rates a 2 the care givers passing meds are not RNs or LPNs. He needs help with the bathroom, meds and meals so the basics. The owners of these facilities are multi millionaires that never visit where their money comes from. Sorry for the bitter tone. The cost is ridiculous.
