Southgate Senior Living is older and smaller. It has a longer track record of memory care and assisted living. It is a smaller community and that might be appealing to some. The activities seemed to be varied. The menu seemed to be healthy. Cleanliness and upkeep were very good. It's just different. It's smaller, and in that way, they're different from the bigger, newer communities, and some people, I think, might like that better.

My dad has been at Southgate Senior Living for a few years. He has been so loved and cared for. He loves everyone and has made great friends. The staff treat him like family and are so kind. The community is very clean and as of late, the new director has made great strides in improving the building. The activities have really come far. They don't just sit there all day. They play bingo and sing and do art. I love to go visit and spend time with my dad. I highly recommend Southgate.

I'm very pleased with the Southgate Senior Living community. They seem to give a lot of attention to my wife, and they give those in memory care a lot of activities. It's very clean, and they've been very attentive. When I visit every day, they greet me by name. I like it because it's a little smaller, and I think there's about 60 residents in various stages of care. Sometimes they'd take the memory care residents in group settings, which lifts their spirits to be in a larger group. I can see the fact that it's very clean and they're very thoughtful. Sometimes she's been in her room all day, and they come in several times to check on her. They found out what her favorite things are, like diet coke and diet pepsi, and they've seen to it that she has them put in her refrigerator. I thought that was very, very good, so I'm pleased, and I would recommend them. They're redoing those where they get physical therapy, so they're paying attention to upgrading. Overall, the memory care is handled very securely so they don't wander. They also have assisted living, so the facility is pretty well-rounded. I was also able to jet her in quickly while other places have a waiting list. I've noticed they take some people out for a drive, they've done bingo, and some other games with them. They had an event they called a black tie dinner, and they dressed their individuals nicely, and took them in the room with balloons, some settees, and took photographs with them. The activities are better than I expected, they're not just sitting in their rooms. It's expensive, but I know some places that are more expensive. This one is $4,595 a month, and I know some places in different areas can be more expensive than that.

It was a hard decision putting my Mother into a care facility, but Sandy and her staff in the memory care facility has made me feel better with that decision. It is a very nice place and her room is nice and spacious. The staff there are so good to her and is easy to work with. She loves the food and the company of staff members. They give her a lot of individual attention and she is very happy there. Thank you!

Thanks for taking care of my Grandma! It is comforting to know she’s receiving excellent care there.

We are so grateful for Southgate Senior living. They have taken great care of our Grandma. We are so relieved to know that her days are spent with people who really do care for her and love her. Nothing brings our family more peace than knowing she is in good hands!

Due to Grandma's deteriorating memory it was no longer safe for her to be at home due to wandering during the night, trying to cook meals in the middle of the night and not recognizing the harm that could befall her or others in the house given her absent minded approaches. We are so grateful for the memory care she is receiving. She is so happy where she is, and I am so pleased with her care. I was concerned at first when I heard that Grandma needed to go to a care center because I have never been in a care center that I felt was clean, homey, or the guests well cared for. That opinion was blown away when I saw Grandma's room and learned of all the comfort, attention, love and care she was receiving daily. We are so grateful for memory care. Thank you!!

I visited and I was very impressed with the staff member, Maria. She took time to help me understand dementia as a disease. I was very impressed with the interaction among patients. I appreciated the learning centers that were set up for the memory care residents. It was simple, but pleasant, and there was an open feeling to the whole place even though it was a secure area. It had lots of windows looking out onto a beautiful area. I liked the personal attention. The staff spent a lot of time with me.

My husband’s aunt is already taken care of. She’s been there for 6 months. It has more of a homey apartment versus a hospital look. She’s getting excellent care. They do a lot of activities. They have bingo. They take them out for rides. They have people coming in and play the piano. They sew and knit. The staff is caring. The room was very clean, very roomy and very scenic. They’re on a golf course. I have eaten there a couple of times. Very good, very balanced meals, very nutritional. Their dining room is excellent. It’s very high end with high back chairs. It’s not clinical at all. She lived in a 2-room, a bedroom, a living room, and a kitchen. It was wonderful. Then she went into a studio. Because she’s going down pretty quickly, she’s in memory care. They would lock her out, because other residents go into her room and she gets mad. She just got in there last week, so we’re trying to figure it out because it’s a whole different section where you have to press a button to get in. They’re locked behind closed doors now. She shares a room, and I do not like how it looks. When I’ve gone in there, the beds were not made and there’s stuff all over the room. I have a little concern about the messiness of her room in the memory care area.
