The Farrington at Tanglewood

The Farrington at Tanglewood is a good facility. It has taken all the worry out of caring for Mom because I know she is in good hands there.

We chose this community because, of the staff, and it's good people who are friendly. They make you feel like family. They have very strong team members, and they are fantastic. They have had staffing issues with the CNA's. They use an outside staffing company for temp employees. Once, they streamline their own staff, then it will be a fantastic property.

My comments are for the memory care unit. They have had quite a bit of turnover of staff. They do a really good job with the activities -they take her out to lunch once a month. She has been happy and content here. The building is very nice and clean and the apartments are very well kept. I was most impressed with this memory care unit out of all of the different places that we looked.

This place is nice but it's not for Asian nor Vegetarian. That's why my aunt has a hard time with the foods they serve. I understand that she maybe one of the only ones, so they don't put efforts in to create decent vegetarian meals for her.

They considered my father a fall risk so they locked him out of his room for 14 hours a day so they could “ keep an eye on him” he is 95 and in memory care and don’t remember to hit his button when he wanted to get up. Absolutely understaffed and uses an agency for its help so there ‘s no consistency in the staff. I most certainly don’t recommend.

We chose The Farrington at Tanglewood because for the price, we thought it was the best option especially for what you get. The location worked out well for us. The room sizes are plenty big enough for what we need. The only complaint I have had is that they are a little slow on the re-evaluation of care for my loved one. I would definitely recommend them to others.

The Farrington is a great place for Mom. She moved here from Colorado and could not be happier. [name removed] and all of the staff were so helpful in this long distance move. The facilities are very nice and Mom loves watching the birds at the half dozen feeders in the garden area in the back. A full slate of activities rounds out the careful and caring manner in which the residents are treated. Give the Farrington the highest recommendation.

We chose The Farrington at Tanglewood because we could not afford the previous facility and a friend suggested this facility and the location so I could visit often. Some of the staff here were not up to our standards and I had a very hard time getting people to call me back. We had a camera in his room and we were able to see everything going on. I did hear that the food was good a while ago, but it was not the best when my husband was here. The owner of the company was very good to me and listened to my concerns but overall, we did not have the best experience here.

My mother formerly lived in a very nice independent facility. It became obvious that her memory issues required greater assistance. We found the Farrington at Tanglewood (previously a Brookdale facility). From top to bottom, this is a very high quality senior community. The staff is very sensitive to each residents needs and helps us family members know to help our loved one. I sleep through the night knowing my 94 year old mom is at The Farrington.

Amazing. Even the front office people know all the resident's names. They are very hands on and caring.

Was impressed from the start. The staff and residents made me feel welcome and wanted. The unit iliked that is available has a nice east facing window overlooking the courtyard and gardens. All the assisted living residences and a tivity centers were all along the corridors for Easter of access. The food was fabulous.

Great option for loved one. Toured community and will be moving parent here next month. Great care and the food is delicious. Managers and staff are happy and very welcoming. Highly recommended despite a few negative reviews, I think The Farrington is the best option in the Tanglewood area.

I visited this facility yesterday and found the staff to be friendly. [Name removed] is the one that helped me, she gave me a tour and sat down to discuss costs with me. This facility is Type B, and might be a good fit for my dad. They had several nice touches such as appropriate activities sitting in cozy corners. I liked it and would consider. There were a few places that I thought could be a bit cleaner, however I only detected urine type smell one time. Not bad really.

Smelt of urine, carpets were very dirty.

This is a very nice assisted living and memory care option. The staff clearly are engaged with the residents. We spoke with the 'maintenance guy' and it is clear he is very passionate about the facility -- the way they treat their employees, as well as their residents. This is not exactly what we are looking for at this time, but should my parents be ready for assisted living without independent living, this would be a place of consideration.

This is a good assisted living option. Facility is new. Residents are grouped into specific 'houses'. The common areas are large and open, but in carpeted, so they are loud (not so great for people with hearing aides). Rooms are studio-type only -- where the bed and living area are all in the same room. Kitchen is part of the common area. This looks like a really nice place if you are looking for more 'attentive' senior living (assisted in nature).
