I placed my mom at Skyline and overall have a very positive impression. The building is clean, modern and bright with comfortable rooms, lovely dining areas, lots of activities, and many staff who truly care (Valerie was especially helpful and patient). Food and menus get mixed reviews-some meals are great, but gluten-free/low-salt options and consistency can be lacking. Common areas need carpet replacement/deep cleaning and there have been occasional missed care tasks, slow emergency responses, poor communication, and understaffing. Costs are high with many extra fees and price increases. I would recommend this facility cautiously: excellent when properly staffed, but check staffing levels, dietary accommodations and final costs before committing.
