My mom has been a resident of Winslow Court for about a month now. The staff is friendly. Her room is like an apartment. She has a window so she can see outside. It is pretty good, and it is clean. She is by herself, but she is supposed to get a roommate sometime. It has a little kitchen in it. They are really good about helping her go to the dining room. I'm impressed with it. They have studios and two-bedrooms, which they consider apartments. We can't go to her room yet because of the virus, but we can visit her down in the common area. They have a beauty salon, which they have just opened back up, they have a garden area, and they allow pets, too. The grounds are really nice. The facility is nice, clean, well kept, and easy to get to. I would recommend it to anybody. My mom likes the food. It's reasonably priced, but they add on for everything that they do, and so that's one thing. If everything was in one price, that would be better, but it's still not as expensive as some other places.

I've been living in The Palisades at Broadmoor Park since July. It wasn't what I expected. The staff is wonderful, but the rooms are not very big. I have my own room, but I share a bathroom. It's really nice here, but I just don't like it. We get three meals a day. They have games and stuff. I got sick with COVID, and I'm just getting over everything. I haven't seen much of anything in all that time. The food is terrible. We have a nurse who wouldn't help us, but she's gone now, so now we have no nurse whatsoever.

My mom is staying at Cheyenne Place in Colorado Springs, and they are absolutely fantastic. They're a great team. They go beyond the call of duty, they're available 24/7, and they helped us out about how to move in. It's just a wonderful place, and I guess she likes her neighbors, too. Everything is included, like laundry, housekeeping, and meals, and the price is reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. I'd give them a five-star rating any day. They are the greatest. She's in quarantine right now because she just got in. They do that for ten days, so they bring her meals to her during that. Once she gets out of quarantine, she can either have her meals brought to her, or she can dine in the facility's dining room.

I went in-person to Brookdale Skyline. We were in assisted living, and I liked it. I would not have a problem putting my dad there, but they kind of fumbled a few things for us and never filled in a few of the blanks. When we actually met, the staff told us a few things and neglected to tell us the whole story. That's when I thought assisted living might be an option, but I don't think at this time assisted living again will be an option for him. The facility was nice. I saw a small 1-bedroom apartment, nothing special, nice enough, probably a little dated, but it wasn't terrible. I only met with one person. She's a very nice lady, but she didn't fill in some of the blanks that I would have liked to have filled in. She spent at least two hours with us, which I did appreciate.

My mom moved into Sunridge. It's OK. The apartment she really likes, it's small, it doesn't have a stove, so they get their meals, but she's not very happy with the meals, 'cause she's very picky about what she eats. I tend to bring her food from home, and whatever she could cook in the microwave she cooks. The staff seems nice, but all very young. It has a nice layout, but it's very expensive.
