9 Assisted Living Communities in Marion County, Missouri

Phyis

I can not give enough great praises for this facility. My 99 year old mother has been here almost one year, and she loves it. With limited sight and hearing and being in a wheelchair she needs a lot of assistance and receives it without a problem. The food is wonderful and the multitude of activities are well thought out and geared to many specific groups to keep them busy and active. All of the staff is so positive and cheerful. Spills are mopped up without a problem. Upon entering, you will find it spotlessly clean and smelling fresh. I could not ask for a better place.

We visited The Windsor of Ocala. It appeared to be clean and organized. It was not convenient for us to bring our furniture, so that was one of the things that made us decide not to go. The rooms are rather small but adequate. Brenda was very nice and helpful. Their exercise room was extremely small, as I recall.

Brookdale Chambrel Pinecastle was very nice, it's an older community, but it was remodeled. I was very impressed with the staff. I have it on my list of places to go back and see again if my friend's nephew ever gets here. I was very impressed by the marketing person. For the rooms, I saw mostly studios and one-bedrooms. They were very clean, they showed me renovated and not renovated apartments, and I liked the renovated one more. It was very nice. I'm considering it for my friend.

My mother moved into Hampton Manor at Deerwood, and as far as I can tell it is very good. Everybody is kind and friendly. The room is bare and grey. It is what it is, but it is functional, it is available, and we are grateful. The food is delicious; they love the food.

I took a tour of Applewood Retirement Community. We decided that it wasn't a fit for my dad because it was too expensive and the facility smelled funny. It had a very distinguished odor inside of it. It didn't seem like it was very well kept, and they were kinda disorganized. They didn't realize that I had a tour set up. The room was mediocre; it didn't really stand out to me. The rooms looked like apartments. The lady staff was great after the confusion. She was like, 'I don't see any tours scheduled.' They almost didn't let me in because of Covid, but then she called her supervisor and they figured it out. There was a pool table, they had puzzles and stuff, but that's pretty much all I remember.

I'm at Southpointe Healthcare Center. We don't have rooms like in the assisted living. It's basically 100% care here, and they have nurses on-duty. It's pretty much like a nursing home, and I'm here for long-term care and rehab. Due to my stroke, it kind of took away my ability to walk. They say I will walk again with proper therapy, but they don't have a timeframe on it. The rooms have a flatscreen TV, a small closet for clothing, a dresser and drawer, and a nightstand with two drawers, so it's not very big. There are at least 25 rooms on my wing, but they have three different wings. They serve our meals, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and they have snacks available. They provide non-refrigerated items like chips or something like that, and they provide drinks like soft drinks, and coffee in the morning. They take care of your medication, and they assist with getting out of bed, and showers two times a week. They have on-site therapy, a beautician on-duty, and there's a bathroom in our room with a mirror. The occupational therapist helps me pretty much to shave, and the CNAs assist you with bathing twice a week. We have fun activities, card games, and bingo. There's a big screen TV, and they allow us to congregate in the dining hall and watch different movies, but we've been quarantined to our rooms for the last month. They also stated that there were zero cases of Corona patients here. They're giving us the nasal swab testing twice a week. They're pretty adamant about keeping it to where it is, and we don't allow visitors right now. It's a beautiful place, clean, and nice. The food is pretty much what you can expect. It's like a hospital setting in here. I'm only 55 now, and this is not how I want to live even if it's not long term. If there was a senior assisted living apartment community situation here, I would stay. It's not bad, it's just to my mental therapy, I'd like to be in a more home setting. There's a skeleton crew as far as CNAs and QMAs, but other than that, the quality of care is above average. There aren't enough people to answer all the call lights in an expediate manner. Other than that, if they had full staff, this place would be rated a 5/5. I don't have anything bad to say about it. The staff is very respectful, cordial, understanding, and patient with you, but we have to be patient with them too because they don't have full staff to answer everybody's call light in a fast manner. They don't really season the food here because they have lots of people with hypertension and diabetes. The food is good, but it could be a little bit better. It's easily accessible, the lawn is kept up to par, and there's no trash on the parking lot or on the grass areas, It's well maintained.

Applewood is infact the worst place to live. to make the place better they need to get rid of Sara the administrator/executive director. is rude careless towards us residents. she\'s always gone or never around. their is no activity here all they do is play bingo from time to time. and if you are getting evicted I was told that the staff can not serve me any meals at Sara\'s request. I paid my rent their should be no reason that I can\'t be served a meal what am I supposed to do starve. Sara doesn\'t care she still won\'t allow me to be served a meal because I\'m being evicted. they need to fire Sara as well as christina to. if they don\'t fire them they are going to lose a lot of residence that are planing to move from Applewood because of sara and christina. I have been trying to get in contact with the owners but their is no information with their contact information.

I hate living here at Applewood in salem it seems to be going downhill every time I need help or have a question for the executive director Sara she\'s never there she never comes to work anymore very much for about 3 months. and when she is here she comes and goes throughout the day that it is impossible to get a hold of her she\'s not very good at all with following through with anything she does we need a new ED. As for the five star rating for staffing and facility is only for three staff members that do a phenomenal job always there helping making sure our building stays covid19 free very friendly working very hard everyday without them this place would be nothing. thank you to these three staff members for everything you have done for all of us residents we do recognize it and very much appreciate these three staff members they\'re the only ones that do great teamwork in this facility.
