Review

Sun Valley Lodge is a highly regarded senior living community that has received positive reviews from residents and their loved ones. The cleanliness of the facility is frequently mentioned, with reviewers noting how well-maintained and secure it is. The staff is another highlight, described as caring, flexible, and wonderful. They are praised for their communication, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic when they provided regular updates and delivered meals to residents' rooms.

While the facility offers many amenities such as a beauty salon, library, and dining area with optional meal plans, some reviewers felt that it lacked a swimming pool. However, the absence of certain activities due to the pandemic was seen as a precautionary measure that made residents feel safe.

One concern raised by a family member was the lack of security at Sun Valley Lodge. They shared an incident in which a resident suffering from dementia left the premises unnoticed, causing distress for their family members. This raises questions about the need for improved monitoring and access control within the community.

The layout of Sun Valley Lodge was also commented on by visitors. While some found it to be clean and comfortable with friendly staff members, others felt that it resembled more of an old hospital wing rather than a warm and comforting environment. Additionally, there were observations about torn carpets and unpleasant odors in certain areas.

Despite these mixed opinions about the physical appearance of the facility, residents expressed satisfaction with their experience at Sun Valley Lodge. They highlighted factors such as excellent communication with staff, good care provided to their loved ones, delicious food options with accommodating choices, and engaging activities like bingo and card games.

Another point of praise was directed towards Chelsie, the resident services coordinator who went above and beyond to assist new residents during their transition into this new phase of life. The presence of long-term employees added to the positive perception of the community's management.

Overall, while there are varying opinions regarding specific aspects such as room size or design, Sun Valley Lodge appears to excel in providing compassionate care and maintaining a clean environment. The positive feedback from residents and their families is a testament to the efforts made by the staff to create a warm and home-like atmosphere for seniors in need of assisted living or nursing care.
