Jaybird Senior Living

It is great to be a part of such a community that provides dignity and respect to all residents.

Food is very good. Help is really fine.

Staff and management are fantastic! They were very knowledgeable. They are well educated in dealing with memory care and are kind. Their facility is clean and well-maintained. The best part is they care for their residence from assisted-living all the way to their last day is on hospice and beyond. Highly impressed!

When I toured of this community and found it to be exactly what we are looking for, for my father. That activities were inviting, food was delicious and staff outstanding. As soon as there is an opening country Meadow Place will be his new home.

Really like it here. I love the workers. All the aids are so good. Couldn't say enough good stuff.

Clean, nice, staff is good. Very helpful

Love this place, been to 4 others, there is good help.

My mother has lived at Emery Place in Robins for going on 5 yrs. It is so comforting knowing that is is taken care of in such a wonderful way. She loves the activities and entertainment they have. The drives around town & parks, going out for lunches at different restaurants They have a “Dare to Dream” program that is awesome! My mom was gifted a hot air balloon ride, that was unbelievable. The staff is so great! She has made many wonderful friends at Emery Place. We’re so glad that we found this place for our mom!

This was a great place for Mom. The staff & facilities are excellent. She enjoyed her time there. The staff even checked on her after she went to the nursing home. I recommend this place to everyone.

We had noticed forgetfulness in my father, then he had a stroke. After his hospitalization, he was sent to a nursing home for rehab. Afterwards, we could not send him home, but the nursing home he was in was not right for him. That facility recommended a nursing home with a memory care unit. Instead, Dad was transferred to Courtyard Estates, a Memory Care Assisted Living facility. Here Dad gets the supports he needs without having staff hover over him. He is allowed to do the daily care that he can, such as shaving, without the constraints of a nursing home. We are all convinced that this is the right place for Dad.

My Mom loves living here. She has made many new friends with the other people living at Milestone and the staff. The staff are friendly and take time to know my Mom. I know she is safe there. She was issued a call button to wear if she needs help. There are so many activities that she enjoys. In fact, I must time my phone calls to find her in her apartment. Her meals, laundry, and apartment cleaning are taken care of for her. The interior of the building is clean and has unique wall murals and décor, giving one the feeling of being outdoors. The large gathering areas are filled with modern comfortable furniture and fireplaces. Children from the grade school next door visit often and interact with the people living there. Family potlucks, outdoor picnics, musical groups, church services, and holiday celebrations keep everyone busy. Mom watches a lot of movies with her free cable and enjoys using her tablet with the free WIFI.

When my mother could no longer live alone in her condo and needed daily assistance, we wanted to find a place in which she could be comfortable, safe, and cared for. In other words, we wanted a place she could call home. First impressions are always important: visitors to Emery Place are greeted by beautiful décor, the bright dining facility, a lovely, inviting lounge, and welcoming gathering spaces for extended families. The most important factor in choosing a new home for Mom, however, was the staff. EVERY member of the team at Emery Place is empathetic, compassionate, and personally invested in the residents who live there. Mom has been at Emery Place since August, and members of our family visit daily. We know first hand how the dining wait staff anticipates her meal choices because they pay attention to her favorites. We know that everyone on staff calls her by name and stops to engage her in conversation. On those occasions when she has had to summon help from the medical or managerial team, someone is there immediately to address her needs. I know it was difficult for Mom to accept the life changes brought about by her advancing age and a need for greater assistance in her daily routine, but I am forever thankful for Emery Place. I am forever thankful that she is well cared for by a staff who treats her like family. I am forever thankful for her new home.

My Grandmother recently moved to Emery Place and she is SO HAPPY. I haven't heard her laugh or seen her as mobile as she has been since moving in. Her only wish is she wants to move to bigger room now! HaHa!! She loves the activities, says the staff is so nice and she gets to stay as busy as she likes. The place is so clean, smells fresh and from my visit I can tell she chose the right place.

My mother originally stayed at Emery Place for respite care after breaking her back. Kudos to the staff for being incredibly caring and helpful in her recovery and facilitating her move back home. A couple of years later my mother had a fall and suffered a brain bleed and a subsequent stroke. My family and I have such faith in Emery Place and the folks there are so nice; it was an easy transition back. Mom was happy to return as a permanent resident. They provide a clean, comfortable environment with plenty of activities, good food, exercise opportunities and personal service. They address all aspects of her well-being. We are very happy with Emery Place and would highly recommend them.

My Parents have been residing at Emery Place for a little over a year now. It is comforting to our family to know that they are not only cared for, but cared about. The Staff is very responsive to any concern we may have and very reassuring as we navigate the unknown related to Alzheimer's.

My mother has been at River Glen for the past year and has had an excellent experience. The staff has been very attentive and accommodating to her needs. She has enjoyed making new friends, as well as, enjoyed many of the musical performances. She feels safe, secure and well cared for. As her daughter, I couldn’t be anymore pleased and happy.

Our Mom currently resides at River Glen. She is very happy with the care she receives and the overall atmosphere. The staff: front desk, administrators, nurses, caregivers, dining staff, cleaning crew are all friendly and very professional. The nursing staff/caregivers are proactive and communicative. The overall ambience is cozy and charming. We and Mom are well pleased.

Our mom is residing in the assisted living apartments. Prior to Mom's move in, we had a review meeting with multiple department heads. That was impressive. All our questions were answered ensuring us that this was the best fit for Mom. Mom loves her sunny apt and tells us of the helpful/friendly demeanor of the staff members. Everyone involved: front desk personnel, nurses, caregivers, food service, activity people, directorial members, cleaning people are great. We have never encountered a more friendly and communicative staff. All cozy areas of the facility -- indoor/outdoor -- are utilized for multiple activities/events. All residents are welcomed and encouraged to participate. On the care side: Due to several chronic conditions, Mom requires quite a bit of help, and we never are worried that she isn't receiving professional/proactive care. The nursing/caregiver staff always communicate quickly and professionally with any questions/input regarding Mom's medical/pharmaceutical/assist needs. That is huge. It is evident that the staff likes being there and enjoys the residents.

Our mom has lived at River Glenn for 8 months. Love the care and joyful attitude from all. Just attended their annual Ice Cream social with hre children, grandchildren and great grandchildren- a wonderful time had by all... Great car show, Dixieland band... and the best hot dogs ever!

I am very happy with Brown Deer Memory care unit in Coralville where I found a place for my sister. It is perfect for her with the level of care that she needs at this time. I spend time with her almost every day so I have had many opportunities to interact with the staff and observe their interactions with other residents. I am so relieved to see my sister in a safe and appropriate new home and to be relieved of the cares that she now needs. [Removed]
