We toured Christina Place. We're on the waiting list. The tour was very nice and Steven was very helpful. The facility was very nice. It's one that I would consider for my mother. It had a more homey feeling than an assisted living facility. The staff seemed friendly, but I only talked to a couple of them. From what I saw, it was clean, but I wasn't in everybody's rooms. I was just in showrooms, the kitchen area, the group areas, and all that good fun stuff. They had a salon, other activities, a laundry area, a rehab area, and a gym area.

I think Christina Place would be fine for someone to live at. It was very nice and clean. People were nice. I did not see any rooms, and there wasn't anybody available at that time when I was there. I basically just toured the outside, and I saw where they eat. I also saw the front area, where ...

I think Christina Place would be fine for someone to live at. It was very nice and clean. People were nice. I did not see any rooms, and there wasn't anybody available at that time when I was there. I basically just toured the outside, and I saw where they eat. I also saw the front area, where they can sit and gather together (if they want to). I talked to the receptionist that answers the phone, so that's basically what I did. They're very nice and friendly.

We toured Christina Place. It felt like a nursing home. My mom is still very active and the people there were maybe at a point where they were on the downturn. I don't mean this in a negative way because it's not their fault, it's part of getting old, but to me, it felt old. Everyone was sitting aro...

We toured Christina Place. It felt like a nursing home. My mom is still very active and the people there were maybe at a point where they were on the downturn. I don't mean this in a negative way because it's not their fault, it's part of getting old, but to me, it felt old. Everyone was sitting around. There were some people, and their heads were over on their sides. It didn't feel like an active community. It's not the environment that we wanted to put Mom in at this time. It's a nice place, and the staff seems wonderful. The rooms seem semi-private. But it had the smell and the feel of a nursing home. They had a small workout room, and they had a public computer that you could get on the internet. They had daily activities set up in a calendar with different events. One day they traveled to a place. A couple of times a week, they could get out. It wasn't a horrible facility, it just had that nursing home vibe. We went in there during dinner time and people were in the dining room, it didn't feel like restaurant-style dining. It felt like a cafeteria. It didn't have a real restaurant vibe to it. I'm sure it's fine, we just didn't want the nursing home vibe.

My mom is doing well at Christina Place. She's improving, and she likes it there. She has been staying there for three weeks now. The biggest deal there is that I feel that she's secure and she's safe. That's the biggest thing. The level of care there is really good. It's clean, and she feels safe t...

My mom is doing well at Christina Place. She's improving, and she likes it there. She has been staying there for three weeks now. The biggest deal there is that I feel that she's secure and she's safe. That's the biggest thing. The level of care there is really good. It's clean, and she feels safe there. It’s excellent. Any time I have a question, I can go up and talk to the staff at the front offices. They're there Monday through Friday, and you can walk in and talk to them. And then the staff come in and check on her and make sure she gets down for all of her meals and everything else. Any time she needs help, they’re there within five minutes. They’re always available. I haven’t tried the food there, but my mom has, and she likes it. The good thing about it is they have variety. Each meal they have three different choices that you can have and they always have like hamburgers and hotdogs, and they'll have two different entrees. It's an older place, but it's kept up well. They're all pretty much the same in terms of value for money, but this one is a little less than some of the other ones, but the same level of care.
