The Colonnades

The Colonnades stands out in the areas I find most important: vibrancy, warmth, joyful engagement, a competent and compassionate staff, value, and beauty. I also appreciate the continuity of care provided on one campus. I understand there's a waiting list, but easily manageable if you're planning ahead!

My mother was a resident here for rehab after falling ill. She was welcomed graciously and treated very well. The facility was clean, and all of the staff were very friendly. The nursing staff and therapists (occupational and physical) were amazing! Cudos, however, to Courtney Pearman for being such a huge part in my mother's recovery. Not only did she go far and above for my mother but also welcomed the entire family. She answered all of our questions and went out of her way to accommodate my mother to be sure she was comfortable. The dining area was amazing as well as the food! My mother recovered fully after completing the entire program and has returned to living on her own at 91 years of age!! I highly recommend this facility! Huge success on returning those in recovery to their home living, rather than back to a hospital!

My Mom was in the skilled nursing area at the Colonnades. Mom had a fall & required a hip replacement. The Colonnades thankfully accepted Mom into their care area for rehab. I was grateful. This was my first experience with the Colonnades. Courtney Pearman welcomed us & made us feel like we were part of the family. My husband & I both work in the healthcare field, so we had high expectations. The Colonnades met those expectations. Mom received great care from a supportive staff. The food was good. She had no complaints. And was excited to be offered shrimp & crab cakes while she was there. The facility was extremely clean. My Mom had been in another local rehab facility previously, and I felt that I had to go there every day to make sure things were being done properly. I did not feel that way with the Colonnades at all. I trusted that the staff was properly taking care of Mom. I had no worries. The staff also were very good with communication. Which was a huge for me. The Rehab director, Lydia Inthidsen (Marshall) completely understood the expectations that I had for Mom. And she did a great job following thru. If Mom happens to need rehab again, the Colonnades will be my top choice.

My wife and I have lived at The Colonnades for 5-1/2 years. We have been completely satisfied with our experiences here. The greatest pleasure is an extraordinary group of fellow residents who are edducated, accomplished and have led fascinating lives. The are very welcoming, friendly and warm. A large variety of activities are offered, both in-house and out within the larger community. We consider ourselves fortunate to have found our final home here.

I find the staff to be always helpful with issues related to local resources and how to connect with medical resources. The focus on Physical Therapy on site is a tremendous resource in relating with the medical community. Plus the presence of terrific musical programs, trips, and educational programs - especially those related to local history and geography. The knowledge of local shopping and transportation as well as sports is great. The friendliness of residents open many many discussions. On the whole a well related facility to feel at home and valued as a person with who can continue to share valuable relationships. I feel at home ans valued here. I also appreciate the staff response to issues raised by residents. The staff and residents are also flexible in creating new activities such as a group focused on grief.
