Great place to live. Staff is friendly and helpful. My housekeeper Angel goes above and beyond to make being here aenjoyable experience.
Cherry Laurel is a wonderful place for seniors to thrive! The atmosphere is warm, comforting, friendly, and just a feeling of genuineness. The staff are caring and attentive. The activities keep the residents engaged. If you prefer to read quietly in the library, a good game of competition, or fitness. There’s something for everyone to nurture the mind, body, and soul.
The Manager/Director Valerie is the Very, Very Best any Corporation need as a Leader. She take time to Ensure that all residence are Happy with there living experience at this facility. You may see her serving lunch or dinner to each residence. Also Valerie take time to Check each Person Health. I Am Happy with my experience here with Valerie as the Leader. THANKS
Deeply Unethical Sales Tactics – A Serious Privacy Concern I am extremely disturbed by the sales tactics employed by this establishment. I initially visited the website A Place for Mom seeking a one-stop-shop to explore senior living options. As expected, I provided my email and phone number, fully aware this would likely result in follow-up communication via calls, texts, or emails. What I did not expect was for a representative from Cherry Laurel – Sky Active Living to show up in person at my former place of employment and leave information at the front desk. To be clear: I never listed or mentioned my employment history on A Place for Mom. This means the representative must have searched for my name online, found outdated employment information, and used that to track me down. I have not worked for that employer in over 3–4 years — however, my partner currently does, and he was called down at work to receive the information. His work was disrupted, and worse, our personal business was made known to others in his workplace. This is a gross violation of privacy and incredibly inappropriate behavior. I cannot overstate how troubling it is to have a random salesperson show up at a previous workplace uninvited, especially using outdated online information. Regardless of how well-reviewed the facility may be, I will not consider doing business with a company that uses such invasive and unprofessional tactics. I strongly caution others to be aware of their methods before engaging.
