ALLARA SENIOR LIVING

Addendum to my original post..... We moved my dad in 3 months ago and have since moved him out. It was not a good fit for him. Allara is a beautiful facility with nice amenities for assisted living folks. However, the memory care lacks appropriate supervision and assistance. Three separate occasions, I pulled the emergency pull cord in his room because my dad needed help and nobody ever came. The caregivers are not aware of the calls until someone upstairs calls them. Strange system and ineffective. Poor ratio of caregivers to residents. If your loved one needs assistance with feeding, they will lose weight as there is often not enough help in the dining area. I was present when a caregiver made a rude comment about my dad and she didn't realize I was sitting there. She later apologized. There were certainly very caring caregivers, which I'm thankful for. Sadly, my dad declined greatly during the couple months that he was there. I would recommend a smaller board and care for memory care family members with more supervision. But do your research! Original post..... Brenda has helped our family with the difficult decision to place my Dad in a memory care facility. She has shown compassion and kindness throughout the process. She has helped us navigate this season of life and given us helpful information and tools to learn more about Alzheimers Disease. So far, my dad has been at Allara for a little over two weeks. We have been in constant communication with the staff regarding his care. Most of the caregivers have shown genuine care for the residents, as it is a very demanding job requiring lots of patience and understanding. It's important for the family to be involved in helping the staff get to know your loved one. If I have questions about anything, I say something and it is acknowledged by the staff. Some staff members that stand out to me are Brenda, Aurora, Steven, Daniel, and a couple other caregivers that I don't know the names of. They keep the residents busy with activities and treat them with respect and dignity. The director Matt, has been very personable and accessible and easy to communicate with. I am hopeful that Allara will continue to be a place of rest and refuge for my dad in this season.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So Grateful for Allara Senior Living Community My Aunt moved into Allara Senior Living about four months ago, and we couldn’t be happier. We viewed lots of facilities with my cousins, and Allara is by far, the best Senior Living in the area. From day one, the staff has been incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. Matt Ryan and Brenda have helped make this transition so smooth and have gone out of their way to help her feel comfortable and at home. My Aunt lived in her past home for 55 years, so this transition was not going to be easy. We sold her home, and she had to downsize into a smaller place, not an easy move when your Aunt is used to living in a big home. It took a few months to settle in, but once she did, it all worked out! Moving to Allara was the best decision. Room and laundry are cleaned once a week, she has three meals a day, plus activities she can engage in with others living at Allara and most importantly, her doctors come see her and make sure she’s getting medical attention when needed. It’s amazing to see how happy and engaged she is — she’s made new friends, enjoys the activities, and always talks about how much she enjoys her new friends she’s made. The facility itself is clean, cheerful, and full of warmth, but it’s really the people who make it special. You can tell they truly care about every resident. Every time I visit, the staff is so friendly. I’m filled with gratitude seeing my Aunt smile, and I’m so happy that she lives close so that I can see her every week. Thank you to everyone at Allara Senior Living for creating such a caring and supportive place. You’ve made a huge difference in her life — and ours. Tanya D

After an intensive search and visits to several memory care communities, I placed my mother at Allara Senior Living. It’s not the closest location to my home, but it was the best decision for my mother. Her memory loss and worsening dementia made her a handful for any caregiver, and the family wasn’t able to keep her safe at home. Allara is the perfect combination of dedicated, compassionate, caring, competent staff and an environment where Mom got the emotional and supportive engagement she needed and loved—thanks to the above-mentioned AMAZING staff. The community is well-managed, clean, bright, SAFE, and welcoming. The services, from meals to housekeeping to laundry services, to activities, are excellent. The staff and residents have a familial connection. My mom loved her caregivers and they returned her affection. Over my many months of visits, the staff became my family as well, supporting us as my mother became more fragile. Mom passed a few weeks ago and the caregivers experienced the loss as deeply as the family. If you need memory care for a loved one, I highly recommend Allara Senior Living

Allara Senior Assisted Living was truly a blessing for our family during my father-in-law’s final chapter of life. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcome and reassured that he was in good hands. Everyone there showed so much care, patience, and respect — they went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable, safe, and valued. The facility was always clean and inviting, with a warm and supportive atmosphere every time we visited. Our family will always be grateful for the kindness and compassion shown to my father-in-law, and for the peace of mind they gave us knowing he was cared for with dignity. We wholeheartedly recommend Allara to any family looking for a place where their loved one will be genuinely cherished.

We were initially attracted to Allara Senior Living for our mother because of its beautiful, modern facility and appealing amenities. What we've come to appreciate even more in these first few months is the noticeable improvement in her wellbeing. She enjoys the companionship at mealtimes and the lively atmosphere. The staff is consistently friendly and provides her with the assistance she needs while fully respecting her dignity. Based on our family's experience with other senior living options over the years, Allara stands out as being exceptionally well-managed. The consistent attention to cleanliness and maintenance is evident, and our many conversations with Matt, the director, have assured us of his strong leadership and understanding of what it takes to run such a successful community.
