Provision Living

Our loved one absolutely loves the meals and dining service. They do not have much activities going on right now we think they are going through a staffing change, but when they did have them the residents would go out on weekly grocery trips, and to different restaurants. Our loved one does currently enjoy playing card games and socializing. The value is worth every penny for that peace of mind and we would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

They're really excellent at communicating with the family; they're also really invested in the care of my father. They think of things that I wouldn't. You'd think that that would come naturally to people who do it professionally, but this is his 5th year in an assisted living community - he's now in memory care. Where he was previously that really wasn't happening at all. If there's something I need to deal with, they'll text me and ask me. For example: restocking personal items, like his razors. Those reminders are a huge relief and are very helpful. They also engage him in activities, rather than asking and going away if he says no. They've learned what and how to deal with him and his proclivities. They've learned that when he says "no", which type of "no" it is. And dependent on that "no", they'll still take him to activities and talk with him. Some of their activities include movies and concerts. But they also have pastimes like making & drawing things, going outside, and even bocce ball. I haven't physically been there when they're doing activities, but I've seen photos. They interact with him, whereas his previous community did not. Before, he was spending 90% of his time sitting in his room. At his last community, he liked to sit in the dining room which was apart of a bigger communal space. He'd often hangout after meals to drink a cup of coffee and observe things. They would discourage him from doing that, and preferred that he sit in his room as opposed to frequenting those areas. He wanted to participate in social activities and that was his way of doing so. Here at Provision Living, he sits in the dining room / communal areas and they allow him to do just that - in addition to getting him involved in activities. So now he spends 90% of his time outside of his room. Sometimes its hard to get ahold of him, which I think is fantastic. [name removed], the director is very amazing, and so is the RN [name removed], she's great as well. The community itself is really handsome and good looking. It's new and they have nice art pieces hanging up. It's kind of reminiscent of a nice timeshare, oftentimes that's where my dad thinks he is. It doesn't have a facility-like feel, it's like a vacation home. For example: he thinks the dining room is a restaurant. Provision Living at St. Joseph is a great nice-looking place, and they engage my father on a personal level.

The staff is very friendly & attentive. They made my Mom feel welcome & at home as soon as she moved in. A physical problem my Mom had was handled calmly & compassionately. We will be moving my Mom from Assisted to Memory Care and the whole process is being handled very well with acclimating her to her new surroundings slowly. The Activities director works hard to find good things for seniors to do. The facility itself is lovely.

We chose Garden Plaza because when I toured the facility it was clean and for the money the facility was very nice. The staff were all super friendly pleasant and knowledgeable. Any requests that we have made are taken care of. There were some complaints about the food being too salty from some of the residents. They were recently taken over by a new management company and they have hired a dietitian to go through menus. After hour staff are kind of hard to come by but I know that is an issue everywhere right now. Overall I would recommend them to others looking.

This was a good community with good staff. My loved one felt more comfortable at another community.

I would recommend this community it is really nice. The staff are great and no problems at all.

We have been impressed with staff when speaking to them about my loved one. They are very knowledgeable. My family that has visited my loved one has also been impressed with the staff and community. They are able to accommodate the family and our loved one's requests. All the meals, activities, care, the apartment, utilities, housekeeping, and laundry are included in the monthly fee.

[name removed] has been so helpful from day 1! We have had so many difficulties with trying to find affordable as well as stylish accommodations for my sister [name removed]. We are moving from Oklahoma with a schedule that is dictated by a bankruptcy hearing. But [name removed] promised she would do everything in her power to make it work! She has been true to her word! She even convinced [name removed] to come when I could not get a solid commitment. Well done!

Even though our loved one was not there long, we have nothing but positive things to say about Provision Living. We are so grateful o have found them and we only wish we would of sooner. They really put our loved one first, they treated him like family and not like just another residents coming to a community. They showed genuine concern for his level of comfort and care. Their communication with our family was wonderful we give them nothing but praises.

My father-in-law was the one looking at a bunch of different facilities and he was much more impressed with Oak Pointe of Kearney than he was with any of the others that he saw. It has been a good experience and we would highly recommend the facility to others.
