LECOM Senior Living Centers

Rooms are big and well priced but distances are large, tough for a person with ambulatory issues.

We enjoyed meeting the Director; tour went well and facility is very nice. However, we do not think that would be a good fit for my parents because it is too far from their church and friends and have required seating arrangements for the residents. We did think the facility was well kept; the dining room is lovely, and the staff seemed friendly.

In 5 months time at Parkside North East, my mom has had both money and valuables stolen. There is still no place to lock valuables up and I just found out that others have been robbed, too. The food is either too salty, veggies are too hard to chew or it is just not tasty. Rides to dr appointments are cancelled as she's waiting at the door because they've sent the wrong van or one with no wheelchair capabilities. They do mom's laundry, take out the trash and clean her apartment fine. She gets showering help two times a week and that seems fine. They fussed at her for not following the fire drill protocol when she was never told the procedure. The nurses and med techs seem nice to her.

there are severa assisted living/independent communities in the area. Check around first and keep your options open. i would recommend comparisons before making a decision. Some places are more, some less for basically the same amenities.

My in-laws were there for less than 6 months. The Regency is eager to get your loved ones in but not so eager to keep them. It was less than 2 weeks and we were getting phone calls about maybe this wasn't the place for my in laws after all. Mind you, they did the assessment to see if they qualified for the level of care they could offer. Nothing changed in two weeks time! And we were very upfront with the level of detail and care we thought they would need. They also promised to assist with transitioning to a higher level of care when needed. Their idea of assistance was sticking my FIL in a terrible nursing & rehab center that was even worse and costing 5 times as much.. Personal care attendants varied widely. Some were great, some flatly refused to lift a finger to help out. If your loved one is very independent this place might be okay but if they need any care assistance, look elsewhere. I do not recommend LECOM facilities at all! Poor coordination of care between the facilities, poor staffing, and high staff turnover.

My father passed away after 2 months of being here. I was fortunate that he was on hospice so I could go in and see the care that he was getting. They were not putting in his hearing aids or his dentures and the nurse lied to me and said they did not assist with those things. There was a time I went in and his floor was not cleaned for over a week, they did not take him to the dining room often even though it was recommended, and they did not pay attention to what or how much he ate. He also fell multiple times here. There was not a lot of attention paid to him. We were very disappointed with the care he received here and would not recommend to others.

These are very small 1bedroom Apartments 1closet for everything and 1 for linen. The rental cost should be less. And everything is electric you pay . Its convenient to a lot of stores and transportation. The residents are very friendly they interact often and have resident Council meetings to inform each other of whats important for them. The company needs to be mindful of people with disabilities and senior living have limited income and what they should charge them .
