Stellar Senior Living

Moving a family member to memory care is an unpredictable experience. The Oaks standards and disciplines make the transitions as stable as possible. After all, you are trusting your loved ones care into a new community. We’re in good hands and I believe they adapt to everyone in the same heart.

I give 5 stars to Farrington Court. This was the last facility I toured out of seven. Here is what sold me. First the apartments start at one bedroom and not studio, and they are larger than the other one bedrooms I saw. Second what stood out the most was that everyone was genuinely engaging including the RESIDENTS. My parents had been going to AZ for the winter in their RV and so they missed having a community which they lost 6 years ago when they had to stop driving. My mom is looking forward to bible study and my dad to playing his guitar live. They both are enjoying the food. Lastly, the staff, was helpful, attentive, and took care to make our experience a pleasantly smooth transition for my parents as this has been emotionally hard for both leading upto the actual move. At the end of moving day everyone was happy. THEY FEEL LIKE THEY ARE HOME!!!! We hit the bullseye. They both told me that I did a good job!!! Well done to everyone that helped along the way. Thank you.

Solid 5 all around. Excellent facility and crew. We eat with Dad a few times a month. Pretty good. The serving staff is very patient with all the people who dine and live there. We absolutely recommend this community to other families. 5 star.

The staff are consistently positive advocates for my 92 year old dad. They are interested in him participating and maintaining healthy routines. The atmosphere at Lakewood is one of positive relationships-everyone I have interacted with is willing to go above and beyond on behalf of my dad. The administrative staff responds to my emails and questions promptly. This residence has given me peace of mind on behalf of my dad's care as I live out of state and cannot be as involved as I would like. I also appreciate the medical care my dad has access to at the residence from an outside provider.

The residents, food, and atmosphere are amazing! Between the beautiful palm trees and beautiful finishes, the building is bright and creates a great place to live. The food is delicious and the kitchen puts together a great menu each week. The activities are so fun and residents love attending!

[name removed]and [name removed] have both been extremely helpful and reassuring as we moved my sister into assisted living. They bot have gone the extra mile to help us make this transition. My sister had lived in the same place for 40 years, so this was stressful for her, and consequently for us, but the staff has been most accommodating. Thank you for your caring concern.

Although my mother passed prior to concluding her move-in. I’d like to highlight Farrington Courts executive Director [name removed], as well as their family advisor [name removed]. Both of these individuals went above and beyond, ensuring that an out of state assessment could be completed, helping me set up local primary care, physicians, and creating the most amazing apartment. My mother loved our one visit, having lunch with future friends, and seeing her smile I knew we were on the right track. She would have absolutely adored it here. I regret that we waited so long. I know that MOM would’ve had amazing friendships and enjoyed some wonderful activities at Farrington Court.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of working with [name removed] to get my paper signed to start my new residency. [name removed] made me very comfortable with the process and clearly explained everything ax we worked through the process. He then took me around to meet some of my new neighbors. While I’m a bit nervous about the move [name removed] did an excellent job to make me feel welcomed and at ease with this next chapter.

I’m a new resident of 3 weeks here. I first toured Farrington Court 2 years ago, when I checked out places in Kent for a possible future move. Immediately coming into the building, I was struck by a “homey” feeling. There was a group of residents playing a lively card game right there in the living room space at 9:30 am! I learned about the longevity of many of the staff and especially the all-important chef - a sign of a well-managed place with happy residents. That, plus their “claim to fame” of over 300 activities a month, was a big draw for me. Eventually, I looked at 9 places in three cities, and when it came time to choose, this was my favorite place of them all. I decided to look again this winter and contacted them for a refresher tour. [name removed], the Family Advisor, was very helpful in putting together the info I needed, answering my email questions from California and showing me a bright sunny apartment when I came up for Christmas. I was set when he said he could accommodate

It is always such a difficult decision and one always wants to make sure you’re doing the right thing for your parent. Farrington Court Management has been in every aspect of the way very supportive and has helped make this transition very comfortable for Mom and us. We look forward to all our future visits!

It is an older building but it is kept clean. Every staff member knows your name. It has a very homey feeling.

My brother and I toured this facility. The shier number of activities was fun nominal. During our tour we sampled the baked goods. Complements to the Chef. Later, the family with Mom toured the Farrington Court which was having a 50's themed lunch party. Cheese Burgers, Fries or Onion rings, served in a red plastic basket along with a malted milk shake. They even had a DJ playing great oldies music. [name removed] was very engaged with staff and patrons alike. [name removed] and his staff are very dedicated to the tenants. He answered all or question and addressed our Moms concerns. Mom can't wait for Casino Night.

We chose Farrington court because of the neighborhood feel and the opportunity to get a freshly refurbished unit. The staff has been outstanding. Communication is very responsive. The team and [name removed] really go above and beyond, exceeding expectations.

I give Thunderbird a 5 in all categories. It is a great place to live. The staff is a big plus [names removed] do so much for the residents and care about us. [name removed] is a great leader, it's just a great place to live.

5 on all. my mother has been there since Christmas. she had a hard time w/the move and all the changes. she had just been released from hospital and had medical issues to deal with. the staff-all the staff-were very kind to her. staff kept encouraging her to participate in activities even though her answer was mostly no. she is now makin friends and starting to settle in. she is safe there and is very well taken care of.

Honestly, we would give it 5's all the way. We didn't have any issues with any of his care. The only reason we moved him was because he was out of funds, and they do not accept Medicaid. He loved it there, and we never worried about him. I would tell families to ask lots of questions about any extra fees for sundries, food delivered to the rooms, nighttime care, and any others.

Overall excellent. Cleanliness is amazing! All the time friendly! Care quality seems great. Staff have been helpful whenever I have called. Food seems fine, it is for older folk. Activities - my sister is unable to participate but others seem involved, 8. I am very satisfied with the value.

My mother chose not to participate in any activities in her short time there. [name removed] that does the tour and handles everything was beyond amazing with absolutely everything concerning my mother and her care. Dining room staff always considerate and caring. Chef was excellent. We enjoyed many meals with her there. The front desk man ( I cannot recall his name sadly) was always happy to listen to my mothers stories even if he had already heard them before. I only wish that she was still alive and able to continue her time with us at the Oaks. The facilities staff spent hours with her and hung all of her beloved metal art pieces exactly where she picked for them to be hung.

We are very happy there and glad we made the decision to go before we needed care and before our sons told us it was time to do something different. The staff is extraordinary, the department heads are very particular when hiring. They only choose people who truly have a heart for us elderly folks. We are actually on vacation in Maui, but our new executive director is starting today, [date removed]. They took 3 months & many interviews to find a good fit for us. Almost all the employees know every resident and many times, their family members by name. [name removed], the chef is friendly, approachable & open to suggestions. The food is very good with service available daily from 7 am to 6 pm. There are extensive choices for each meal as well as specials not on the menu. The servers know everyone by name as well as their usual drink orders for each meal. They are patient and kind when residents are trying to figure out what to order. If your meal wasn't what you needed or wanted, they will get you something else. The housekeepers are patient & kind and are willing to do whatever you need done each week, but would help out whenever there is a need. [name removed] is the business office manager and is an extraordinarily kind and thoughtful person. She's always willing to listen and take suggestions from residents. The family advisors have experience in this field, understand what an emotional & difficult decision this can be for families, especially when their loved one needs immediate care. We are hoping the landscaping will soon be completed with many more trees, shrubs and flowers this growing season. Covered parking is planned for this year for those of us who still have our cars. It’s a community of caring folks, residents and staff that feels like family. We are blessed to be a part of it. PS: last but certainly not least are the gals that work the concierge desk - [names removed] coordinate everything to make it all work. They greet everyone by name and are always helpful, kind and patient, while doing their many jobs!

My Mom has been here for about three weeks. After getting adjusted to everything I have to say we've been very satisfied with the care and quality of the staff. Way beyond my expectations. When you ask the staff to get something done (move from a bed to a wheelchair, showering etc.) they don't hesitate to get it done quickly and in a safe manner. They are polite and friendly. Overall I'm very satisfied with, and happy that we chose Orchard Park for our Mom.
