Bad Odor in Room
reviewed on: 06/20/2017 by AnonymousMy mother in law is doing okay since the move to this community. The main concern I have been that her room stinks. Other than that issue everything else is fine. The staff is well. They provide good meals, and have nice activities available for the residents. Unfortunately at this moment I would not recommend this community.
An Amazing place and an Amazing Value..
reviewed on: 03/14/2019 by Nancy SchaadtStarting right at the top with the director Naila Hamati I am very impressed with the hands on attention that my husband receives.. It is most amazing to find a director of such an institution so highly medically qualified.From the director down through the aides and cleaning staff they try to please and treat the dementia person with caring respect and love.. I feel as do my children that we were so very fortunate to have discovered Above and Beyond at the Knights.

reviewed on: 11/11/2018 by ken kubushefski poaOverall after 7 months the facility is a 3 or 4 star. Clean, staff seems friendly when asked to do a service for Mom. However staff turnover is often. We can't compare to other facilities because she has only been At A&B. Her care is adequate for her needs.
care for mom
reviewed on: 12/12/2016 by AnonymousI am happy with the care that my mom is getting here. Mom is wanting better food . My mom is offered to do the activities and I am trying to help her get more involved, I am hope that she will get involved soon. I was very impressed with the community compaired to other communities. I highly recommend this community for great care and value to other families.
They have such a good program, I am very disappointed with how things ended up.
reviewed on: 11/14/2014 by AnonymousThey weren't able to handle our care needs. There was a difficult situation that wasn't handled well. They didn't even contact me with a phone call when the incident happened, I had to call them. They didn't take precautions after the situation and have my loved one looked at by a hospital. When they let me know that we would need to find another place, they did not sit me down and explain the situation. They didn't give me any assistance to find another place, and they wouldn't give me a time frame other than as soon as possible. It was hard because he was starting to do a little better. Margaret the memory care director was very sweet, she was great and would call me everyday to let me know how things were going. I think there were a few people that didn't care for the way it was handled. Emeritus is now stalling me on the refund. That makes me very unhappy, but oddly enough, I still like Emeritus. They have a beautiful separate dining room that looks out to the outside, with a mural on one wall. They have a great room with different stations, to stimulate things they might have done in their past, a tool station and a travel station, and a place to "hang laundry". They really think of the people here. It was an ideal set up, and I am really disappointed they didn't make more of an effort to make it work. Change is really not good with people with Alzheimer's. They have such a good program everyone knew everyone's name. I am very disappointed with how things ended up.
