Review

McKay Creek Estates, an assisted living facility, has received mixed reviews from its residents and their families. While some highlight the kind and helpful nature of the staff, others express dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the community.

One common theme among the positive reviews is the efforts made by the staff to ensure that residents feel cared for. One resident's family member mentions how the staff goes above and beyond to make her loved one feel safe and secure. Another reviewer applauds the management and staff for striving to assist all residents in maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle.

The activities director seems to be a point of contention in some reviews. One reviewer criticizes this individual for avoiding outings on simpler activities. However, another family member highlights a strong connection between their father and the activities director, with the former enjoying going to exercise sessions.

Food quality emerges as another concern raised by multiple reviewers. One reviewer mentions that about 50% of the food is not edible, which results in their sister spending a significant amount of money on alternative options. Additionally, another reviewer claims that the kitchen manager is a poor cook who frequently runs out of essential items needed for meals.

Despite these criticisms, several reviewers praise McKay Creek Estates for its beautiful environment and outstanding staff. They mention that apartments are spacious and provide a comforting feeling of quality in living. The overall cleanliness of the building is also commended.

In terms of community engagement, it is worth noting that trick-or-treating events were organized at McKay Creek Estates, indicating an effort to involve residents in special occasions.

Overall, while there are areas that could be improved upon, McKay Creek Estates appears to be a place where residents can feel cared for by attentive staff members. With its lovely grounds and multitude of daily activities available, it strives to create a fun atmosphere where individuals can enjoy their golden years with peace of mind.
