The Residence at Five Corners

This place is so full of love and special people. My dad has been here almost 5 years and I am so grateful for his care. We recently lost my sister suddenly and I was so worried about my dad’s mental health. In my mind I was panicked and preparing to go rescue my dad and bring him to my home. I spent several days living in his tiny studio helping him to get through the first minutes, hours and days. To be able to see and hear how loved my dad was here was an incredibly healing experience. Residents, nurses, administration, caregivers, housekeepers, food servers all showed up with such love and care. I very quickly realized my dad already was home and the routines of meals with friends, activities and Mexican train games , quiet conversations with others was exactly what my dad needed. On my own I could never replace all this love and care. Mike and his team are the best. I could not recommend this facility more if you are considering placement for a loved one.

My father has lived at the Residence at Five Corners (R5C) for almost three years. He loves his room looking out over the landscaped backyard with sun streaming in every morning. The afternoon often finds him out on the front patio unless he is enjoying entertainment or an activity or it is simply too cold. He participates in almost daily exercise classes and uses the therapy room for additional balance work and riding the bike. It is convenient that he can access physical therapy, primary care and nursing on site when it is needed. He can get a haircut and his nails trimmed without having to go out for these needs. He has made use of transportation services to get to medical appointments at the VA which is conveniently nearby. Moving from a home environment to assisted living is a big transition for families and the staff has been friendly, helpful and responsive. They get to know a resident’s strengths and help them to maintain their independence to the level that works for them individually. For example my dad has a food service background and has had the opportunity to provide feedback and suggestions to the food service director. His caregivers and the nursing staff are helpful and thoughtful. He has made really good friends who enrich his days. Running an assisted living is a challenging business and of course everything isn’t always perfect. End of life issues, loss of independence, challenging medical issues are part of the day to day life at R5C. The staff is responsive to residents and their families and we feel that this living situation has been a very positive experience for dad and our family.

My mom has been at the Residence for a year and a half . She loves her spacious apartment and the beautiful facility and grounds. We find the help very friendly and kind, and she enjoys participating in many of the activities. Over the course of the year there were some concerns about the food service, but she has shared that efforts have been made to improve in this area, which she was appreciative of. Overall, we have been happy with the Residence and I take comfort in knowing she is happy and safe in beautiful surroundings.

I appreciate ALL of the Five Corners staff! From the warm & welcoming receptionists at the front desk who greet you with a smile and happy hello, to the kind caring aides who take great care of the residents, the fantastic team of nurses who truly work together as a team, the awesome directors of both Residence at Five Corners and Reflections Memory Care who care about the well-being of each and every individual member of this whole community, and the whole kitchen staff who are so kind and joke around with the residents, the recreational staff who plan and participate in a variety of fun and engaging activities with the residents, and the wonderful custodial and cleaning crew! They know every resident and help with any issue that arises, big or small, they are there to be sure things run smoothly. The physical therapist, occupational therapists, and speech staff are the best!! They work with each individual resident on the care plan and get them stronger and back to their baseline again. Together, this whole team truly make Five Corners the best experience for your loved ones! Last but not least, and most importantly, the RESIDENTS who live there are kind, caring, welcoming, friendly, and they all look out for one another. That’s what truly makes it a special community, in my opinion! New friendships are built here. It’s about quality of life with excellent care. I do not have to worry because I know that my loved ones are being well cared for. Whenever I have a question or a concern, I reach out directly to the proper staff member and I hear back in a good response time. They also have a nice variety of live, professional entertainment each month and this brings lots of smiles. They keep up with the beautiful grounds, landscaping, and seasonal decorations both inside and outside! That’s all for now. Peace, Marcy S. 🙂
