There is a lot of turnover in administrative staff and management, which impacts both the residents and their families. There are community members who help new residents but they could improve by providing more communication and assistance to family members who are managing the finances, care, and ensuring our family members have what they need. Would highly recommend an external physician rather than the one who comes onsite. There is no appointment time, just a day, so you can't really plan. Then, he never actually examin... read more
The residents are individuals and, as in any neighborhood, some are more outgoing than others. There are always many residents at the activities and although my parents have become pretty much home bound, I enjoy knowing the other residents. The upheaval in staff the last six months is disconcerting though.
My mother was a resident of the Veraden assisted living facility for the last year of her life that ended May of 2024, The nursing staff at the Veraden are some of the most compassionate people I have ever met. However, the Senior management of the nursing staff was mediocre at best. I think this is why the turnover rate is very high and morale is often noticeably low. The facilities are nice but maintenance is often very slow to respond and requires multiple requests. The activities are second to none and are varied and hig... read more
We have a new Executive Director and there has been a number of changes in the staff. Haven't had a lot of interaction with most of them yet. CNA's are very helpful and caring. Housekeeping is very good. I probably should have given it a 5 rating. The meals are good quality and the servers do an excellent job. The move in went very smoothly because we hired movers that specialize in this and they packed up things from our home and unpacked everything here, even hung pictures and wall decorations. All we had to do was walk in... read more
The facility is gorgeous and they constantly work on maintenance and cleaning. As is the case with most facilities there is a lot of staff turnover which impacts continuity and consistency of care. We really tried to cultivate a good relationship with staff - frequent cookies from McLaren's and chocolates from See's helped. It's helpful to utilize their recommended pharmacy for delivery and you really need to verify they're following the doctor's instructions and doses. Their director is very responsive to input and takes ap... read more
Many daily activities are set up on a calendar, but it is pretty much just recycled from month to month. No one facilitates a large number of the repeat activities, so they don't actually happen. That means there is a lot less going on for the residents than it appears. Overall I would recommend The Veraden to others.
Their Director of nursing is definitely the weak link. She has lost doctors orders, given the wrong medication or the wrong dosage on several occasions and is less than a truthful person. The food is well prepared but of cheap and low cost ingredients, ie the roast beef is processed, not freshly prepared, etc. However, the Activities Director is amazing. There are a multitude of activities/events each day and they cover a wide range of interests. I wish my Mom would take advantage of the many fun things available to her.
The facility is beautiful and well maintained. It's similar to a boutique hotel. The food quality is inconsistent but nutritious. Staff is friendly but as all care facilities are experiencing there is frequent turnover. My father is in assisted living and the room is very nice. They have many outings, classes and special events. I feel my father gets good care and the cost overall is an excellent value.
The overall feel and cleanliness really stuck out to us with this facility. Very homey environment. They do have activities. It's a clean facility, housekeeping is done daily. They were always accommodating in my requests for laundry, etc. I would recommend them to friends and family. And I would always check in regularly to make sure everything was to my expectations.
