Cruise ship Living
reviewed on: 04/09/2016 by SuzanneThe choice to have our family member move from his home to assisted living, was one of the hardest choices we've had to make. To be honest, It's hard to say who the choice was harder on. He had made it clear from day one, that his independence and privacy was paramount to his comfort. He had also ALWAYS told us how he absolutely NEVER wanted to "go into a nursing home". We felt like in a way, we would be failing on our end if we couldn't give him the care that he needed. We contacted several locations and checked reviews, safety records, health department records and did visual inspections for various locations. Then we contacted a service that helps narrow down your choice based on your needs and wants, and they set up appointments for you! Based on our needs, Mackenzie Place was one of them they recommended. We had already seen some of their reviews and we were not able to find any reviews stating less than excellent. When we were contacted by Mackenzie Place they were sincere, professional, and funny! Their representative, Mark, was flexible when we had to change the appointment and sugested that with all we had going on, that we should let them serve us an amazing lunch to let us sample their food and give us a break from cooking and catering to someone else. When we arrived we were so impressed! The inside is more what you would expect to see in an Aspen ski lodge as opposed to a traditional assisted living facility. We were welcomed and greeted by residents and employees alike. When we arrived there was a poker game going on in the bar, some ladies returning from shopping at the mall, another couple of ladies talking about their trip to the salon upstairs.... It was fantastic! The focus was clearly on living here, and living well! Mark greeted us and introduced us to several other guests and employees, then suggested that we have lunch, talk and relax a bit then go on a tour. For lunch we had saffron seared scallops, delicious salads, and steaks. The atmosphere was an upscale restaurant. While Mark was talking to us he was just talking, not selling anything. He asked lots of questions about our family, told us about his, told us about some of the guests and their families and cracked some jokes. This luncheon was just about relaxing and enjoying the food and atmosphere. During the tour we were "wowed" with all of the daily activities available; poker, bingo, movies in the movie theater, salon, library, gift shop, game rooms, some ladies were knitting in one of the rooms, there was an exercise room and pool- and they have 85% of their residents that are involved in their physical fitness program. There were something like 26 floor plans to choose from.... Fast forward a couple of months and our family member has been delighted there! He is quite the gambler, has made some friends and he loves the food every meal. He chooses from eating at any of the three restaurants / areas or has it delivered to his apartment. His apartment is super clean, his laundry is taken care of for him every week, and the staff have become friends. He can't get over how nice everyone is, and he is constantly heard telling his outside friends that this place is the Cadillac of places. He feels like he is living the way people only dream to live. From my perspective, Mackenzie Place, has surpassed my expectations and any expectations I didn't think to have. I equate it to cruise ship living. The facility is awesome, the food is fantastic, but truly as always it all comes down to the people. It's the staff at Mackenzie Place that make it what it is. They are ALL so genuinely friendly and caring. They are professional with the way they do their jobs, represent themselves and their company. They are the cream of the crop.

Mom is loving it!!
reviewed on: 08/28/2017 by AnonymousMy mom has recently made the move into this community and so far she is loving it. I am so impressed with the staff and how easy the transition was for my mother in her new living environment. She has been participating in a lot of the activities with the other residents and making many friends. My mom has enjoyed the dinning experience as well as the tasty meals they have been providing her. Overall it has been a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone.
Exceptional Staff and Food
reviewed on: 10/30/2013 by Daughter-in-LawWe really liked them. We would have liked my in-laws to go there but they didn't feel that they could make friends there. I liked the cleanliness and the offerings that they had - not so much scheduled activities but anytime activities. I liked their staff and of course their food was exceptional. I think that as far as their level of care, I'm finding that they’re all pretty much comparable. They didn’t stand out there but the facility itself and the rooms were great.

reviewed on: 12/26/2012 by A Place For Mom CustomerLoved it. Loved The director. This would pass my Mom's "ambience" hurdle. Whole different feel from Palisades, and more expensive too. Quite a bit more than the $2500 we discussed, more like $3500. It is good to know such a lovely place exists, and the location is so convenient to Garden of the Gods. The view ain't bad either. They all sell what they have, but it is impressive there.
