    Review

    Choosing the right senior living community for aging parents can be a daunting task, but it's important to find a place that meets their needs and provides excellent care. One couple found the perfect fit at the Saratoga Retirement Community (SRC), where they resided for 14 years. Both parents enjoyed their time there, with the facility offering a wonderful experience. The staff was described as caring and attentive, and establishing a routine was made easier through open communication and cooperation. Independent living provided excellent care for both parents, while assisted living ensured that the mother received great care even after her husband's passing.

    However, not all experiences at SRC were entirely positive. Some reviewers expressed concerns about the focus on profit rather than resident well-being. It was suggested that adult children should thoroughly read the contract before making any decisions to avoid unexpected changes in care. The push towards assisted living or memory units, regardless of readiness or necessity, left some families feeling uncertain and rushed.

    On the other hand, another reviewer highly recommended SRC to other families due to its close proximity and positive atmosphere. The staff was commended for their excellent care and maintaining a clean environment. Various activities were available for residents to participate in, such as arts and crafts and outings.

    Unfortunately, not all reviews had positive experiences with SRC. One individual was disappointed by their sister's disqualification after having family members visit the community excitedly prepared for her move-in. This sudden change caused frustration and urgency in finding an alternative solution.

    Another negative review highlighted poor communication between a resident's family member and staff regarding necessary extra assistance for behavioral issues. Instead of working together to find a solution, this individual felt pressured to hire expensive 24/7 home care services or remove their loved one from the facility altogether.

    While some reviewers had mixed experiences with SRC, others shared more positive feedback about the community's amenities and services. However, there were some complaints about medication ordering issues and limited nursing availability beyond 6 pm.

    Overall, SRC offered a positive experience for many residents and their families. However, potential residents should carefully consider the contract terms and be actively involved in advocating for their loved ones' needs. It is essential to ensure that the chosen community aligns with the individual's requirements and expectations to avoid disappointment or rushed decisions later on.
