A positive experience
reviewed on: 08/31/2016 by AnonymousSo far Towne Center has been a very positive move for my mother. Everyone there is extremely accommodating and go out of their way to make sure she transitions into her new home well.
Caring community
reviewed on: 07/09/2020 by MaryJust like at any other place, you have to be involved with the care. The staff is proactive and brings issues to me as well. The food is great. My mother in law is in the memory care, room sizes and layout are good. They have a non secured garden for memory care residents. They have a new director that has been very helpful.
They're all very friendly, it's just ...
reviewed on: 10/16/2013 by DaughterThey're all very friendly, it's just mroe of my parents I think, they both have dementia and it's hard because I'm a little farther away than my brother is. They do call if there's a problem, they're one of the few couples there I think, there are some other couples and I know there are a lot of other people that have dementia too, but they've done a great job. They do some stuff, they're not exactly comfortable there, but they like to go out to lunch, I think September was pizza month so they took them out to goet pizza, they like going on the bus and they take them to church which is fabulous. The only issue is they have a little store run by residents for 2 hours a couple of days a week. My parents don't have a kitchen so they don't think they need to go shopping but they run out of soap and paper items and my father says the store is always closed when they need it. It would be nice if there was something open all the time. It would also be nice if they had another exercise program that was a little more active, my parents used to exercise 3 times a week before they came here. There is a doctor in the centre that comes there once a month so that's nice, but he said that they weren't eating right which made my brother upset because they're eating the food here.
Great place

Review of Towne Center Assisted Living
reviewed on: 04/02/2015 by AnonymousAny of The Management Team at Towne Center that I have dealt with have all been wonderful. The majority of the CNA's and Nurses are all nice and friendly. They have responded to all of my requests without hesitation. The one main problem is that they have an antiquated call system for residents. To me this is the nature of their business and the call system should be up to date and working flawlessly. My loved one has had to wait up to two hours for someone to take them to the bathroom or assist them with getting to bed. It's not good at all. In addition, it seems to me that they are extremely under-staffed. The other issue I have is the strong smell of urine in the reisdent's hallway. Had I known all of this ahead of time, I may have chose a different place. I'm very disappointed, the above has caused me alot of stress.
