They know my dad's personal taste - what he likes to wear - and his hats are really important. I'd like to commend the owners, they're absolutely wonderful, they're here all the time, helping, doing things, keeping an eye on things. And I think that attitude filters down to every employee in the building.

I don't have a family member here or ever want one of my family's here either . The director I call her and let her know that the employees talk to loud when there outside at night time . We have a baby and all that loud talking wakes our baby up at night and when they take the trash out at night they make so much noise and racket we can't sleep much we be lucky to get 5 hrs of sleep . And then there is the drive way between the facility and the apartment complex. They let the truck drivers and the people they move there furniture into their facility park in the red no parking area

My mother has lived at Stellar Care for over four years, and the staff treat her, as they do all residents, as family. Ms. Linda Cho, the owner, is "hands on;" she is there every day and provides caring, professional management. She hand picks and inspires her staff to care for residents as beloved family. She also treats her staff well; It is a very well-run facility. There are constant improvements. The last time I checked, there was close to a one to one ratio of staff to residents, which included a full-time mechanical, laundry, food prep, and medical staff. There are various

Sadly my mom passed a few months ago, and we are finally getting her trust taken care of. But when I think back on her last year's we fondly remember her time at Stellar Care.
She was the happiest there. The staff was really her family and they treated her like that. It was the little things that made them so special, like painting their nails or brushing their hair or making them a special meal (she was Japanese and occasionally they would make Asian food for their Asian dwellers). They kept us informed about any medical problems and helped us to make it easier to take care of her medical

I admitted my Father into their facility thinking he would get "stellar care". That was definitely not the case & for the $ I spent he should have had excellent care. Instead he was subjected to a number of horrible situations & terrible care. When he first moved in the cost was over $3000 per month, every year the cost was increased by $1000 per month plus extra charge for furniture. He endured everything from being left totally naked with all his clothes taken while being treated for scabies to lack of hygiene upkeep to being able to interact with other residents due to lack of common areas

When dad was diagnosed with late stage dementia, we struggled to find the right place to help care for him. Dad had been in several places that were not a good fit before we found Stellar Care. At my initial walk through, every person was kind and friendly. They called each resident by name with kindness. We moved dad in and never had a moment of regret. Dad was a complicated dementia patient but they knew just how to interact with him to redirect, de-escalate, and care for him. My sister and I were every active in his care and I always felt that I could ask questions or be involved in any activity

My mom had Alzheimer's Disease and was with Stellar Care for just about a year. Sadly during her short time there her condition has progressed and as much as none of us would wish to see our family members in a facility such as this, I have found Stellar Care to be the most wonderfully caring place, both for her and for our family.
The caregivers are well trained, warm and friendly, and they perform the most difficult tasks with compassion and love. The medical staff are knowledgeable and informative and the management staff communicative and helpful. Especially Chris, I believe he is the

I can't say enough great things about this place. My mother-in-law lived here because of her dementia and as a result, I spent a great deal of time at Stellar Care, visiting her. They have a very high ratio of caretakers to residents and the caretakers know each resident personally. The place is extremely clean. I'm a germaphobe and I can attest to how spotless they keep everything. But by far where they shine is the activities. They have activities going on all the time--physical activities including supervised walks, current events discussions, art therapy, music therapy, crafts, gardening, and

I wish I could give this place more stars. My mom just had her teeth removed and one of the care takers, Alem, has been taking care of her. A big Amen for Alem ! She is taking such good care of my mom. I love this place and so does my mom. God bless all of you who work there. My mom is safe and cared for. I so recommend this place.

I screened 6 facilities before I found Collwood Terrace. Today we moved my dad in, and his illness and hearing loss caused him to become difficult. The staff handled him really well: compassionate and skilled in this kind of situation. They gave me peace of mind that this was a good choice. When I went back tonight to check on him, he was at dinner with 3 new friends.

The professional and caring staff at Collwood Terrace make a positive difference in lives of their residents and their resident's families. My family were very fortunate to have Collwood Terrace in our corner, caring for and advocating for our Aunt Grace, who suffered from end stage Alzheimer's.
We were impressed with the high level of care and knowledge, the activities and participation level for the residents, and their genuine affection for the folks placed in their trust.

My dad has been at Collwood for over 2 years, and I am so impressed by everyone on the staff. Dad lived in a facility in another city before I moved him here, and even though that facility was considered to be one of the best in town, I am so much happier with Collwood.
Every resident has their own unique issues and there is no way to predict what comes next with your loved one. The staff gets to know each resident and figures out what works for them. The caregivers continually amaze me with how well they handle dad. I am always learning from them.

This facility specializes in those with Alzheimer's, and was where my grandma stayed for several years at the end of her life. Prior to that she had stayed an Assisted living facility, but Collwood was a much better fit for her and the people there took great care of her.
Everything is very clean and they have lots of activities. Whenever we visited we were treated like special guests in their home. The staff are very helpful, willing to drop everything to help you find a room or get a cup of coffee even. My grandma got to keep some of her own furniture and wall decorations in her room
