Need more activities
reviewed on: 02/09/2016 by AnonymousThey have activities but there's not a whole lot of them. The aides are wonderful, they took very good care of my mother. As far as improvement, back management has little bit of problems. When requesting things there is a delay for it.
Truly not an unworthy experience.
reviewed on: 12/16/2016 by Martin FennellAs this was my first experience in even picking a place for my sister to stay for a while, nothing prepares you for all the decisions to be made. I liked that the community was very close to my sister's own apartment. Most of the amenities are included in the prices quoted. A few problems arose in light of my sister is wheelchair bound. She was having problems getting showered at her set times and the apartment was getting cleaned up to her standards. Most of the people are very sympathetic to your concerns and we managed to plow through these few problems.
A nice place, but just too big for us
reviewed on: 12/27/2013 by DaughterThis was a nice looking place, they renovated recently and everything looks great. The dining area in particular looked very nice. But it was just too big, and impersonal feeling. It was a gigantic hotel. We really wanted something smaller and more intimate feeling for Mom.
Mixed experience
reviewed on: 09/14/2015 by AnonymousOur experience with Schenley Gardens has been somewhat mixed, but overall I think they do a good job. The facility itself is well kept and clean, and the staff all seemed friendly, but I think some of their services could stand some improvement. Their intake process could use some work, getting my loved one moved in was definitely not a smooth process. I also wish they'd offer a few more activities in the evening, things pretty much shut down after dinner and my night owl loved one is often has nothing to do but sit in her room.
Timeless memory..
reviewed on: 04/23/2015 by AnonymousThe food is the best we have ever seen! 5 star Restaurant! I can not image the price! Gigantic rooms for the residence. State of the art security,very professional staff ,and management makes sure operations run smoothly. The facility is immaculate,the design of the building is unlike any other we have witness.. Superior service i can honestly say,I'm proud to have my loved one living there. Its a "timeless" memory!
