United Methodist Communities

Our family was very grateful that my mother’s final days were at The Shores. The staff and facilities were outstanding. The unit was large enough to meet both my mother’s needs and the family’x needs. We would highly recommend the Shores as a hospice facility.

We are thrilled with our choice. Mom started in a respite apt after rehab. Now she is in her own apt and enjoying everything. The staff is amazing. We highly recommend the shores. The staff in every area are so attentive. They are responsive and communicative and do everything possible to ease the transition.

Moved in [date removed]: It has taken Mom time to adjust to no kitchen to really have to cook BUT all her meals are up at one of the dining rooms. She is finally going down to meals BIG adjustment NOW all good. She loves that she doesn't have to call the family to come and fix things in the house. Now she calls the front desk or it is done for her without asking. This is a big relief for Mom. If she gets lonely she walks to get her mail and talks to many people or she is just happy being in her own room. No real pressure to go out and makes her own timeline. The family is SO happy with the Shores and the care is more than we all thought it was going to be. Staff is so understanding and listens to us but also Mom. At 89 years old it is the right place for Mom and safe. Thank you to all at the Shores.

Our family has been very pleased with United Methodist Communities decision so far. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.

The staff are very friendly and try to really get to know their clientele. They're easy to talk to. If you have any questions about anything (billing, nursing, etc.) or if you need anything, they get back to you either in person or via email. The facility is really clean and organized. They offer a lot of activities. We've really liked everything they've done for our parents.

I felt it was a first class facility. My mom, who would never ever go to any type of nursing / care facility, actually had a nice time there. We are actually trying to use them now again for rehab for my mom, who just had a leg injury.

I toured with Bristol Glen and would give them 10 out of 5 stars, it was amazing. It is a beautiful facility in a great location and the staff and residents were all very pleasant. There was not one thing I found wrong with them, it made our decision very hard. For our personal situation, my dad loves HBO, it is a staple for him and one of the only things that brings him joy these days. The only reason we did not go with Bristol Glen was because HBO could not be added to his cable package. He would have had to stream it and he and technology just do not mix well. That is the only difference between this facility and the one we chose. If it were me, I would have chosen Bristol Glen for myself, but you have to put yourself in your loved ones shoes. I loved that they offered a library and a gift shop that were both run by the residents. I would have loved to get involved in that if it were me.

The Shores is a very special place within a very special organization. Loving, compassionate, personal care for everyone, no matter how challenging the circumstances. We cannot imagine a healthier, more caring place to navigate COVID than The Shores.

My mother has been on the 3rd floor for several months, through COVID. The care she is given has been exceptional. When she was placed into hospice care, she couldn’t go to that section and The Shores made sure she was given visitation rights and hospice care, even though she was on a floor that didn’t accept visitors. We planned daily visitors with [name removed] and my mom was able to have visitors daily. She is one of 7 so there were a lot of visitors. Her sibs, priest from the parish, best friend and child and granddaughter were all given access to visit my dear mom. Exceptional service and care!

Although Dad is no longer with us, the assisted living care he received while at the Shores was outstanding. The staff was friendly, loving and very knowledgeable. Not everything was perfect, but then, nothing truly is. I would highly recommend The Shores if you are considering Assisted Living or any of the other services offered there. The cost is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.

I have been so impressed with the thoughtfulness, caring and attentiveness of all the staff , everyone makes my Mom feel welcomed and special. Only downside are the meals. A more healthy, low salt, low sugar menu option would be greatly appreciated and valued.

Everyone at the shores from the minute you walk in to when you leave Is extremely friendly. Everyone is always willing to help. My parents are very happy living at the shores. We feel like it’s a very safe & clean environment for them. We know they’re well taken care of. Originally, my parents were very unhappy moving from their home to an assisted living facility. It didn’t take long before they fell in love with the Shores community. They are so happy that they made the change to the Shores.

From the very beginning of our experience at the Shores everyone has been friendly, polite, knowledgeable, and great with our Mom. They speak to her as I believe they would speak to their own parents, softly and with respect. When there was a misunderstanding about bills and payment the business office worked diligently with me to straighten everything out. It was a huge bonus since I live many states away from the facility . I and my brothers are very happy with Moms care and how the staff does their best to keep us up to date with Moms progress and condition. Overall The Shores has been a wonderful place for our Mom , giving me great peace of mind since I can not visit as often as I’d like due to distance. I highly recommend The Shores for senior care of all stages. From independence to extra nursing care there is a place for everyone. Such peace knowing Mom never has to be moved.

The Shores was already a great place, but I'm especially thankful for how well they've been able to stay on top of all the complications that Covid has brought over the past 18 months. They work tirelessly to give our loved ones the fullest life possible while also keeping everyone safe. We see you all going the extra mile! My only 2 complaints are that the meals have gone downhill a bit and I see the front desk staff being not so patient with residents sometimes. I know it's a tough job but that could stand to improve.

We chose United Methodist Communities because of recommendations. Overall we love the place. They really go out of their way to try and make it the best experience they can. Staff are very helpful all the way around from the time that you move in until now. I would absolutely recommend to others looking.

I looked at 5 other facilities and we chose this community because it was updated and the friendliness of the staff members. The room sizes are great. According to my loved one, the food is good, it was prepared on site. The best part about this community was the residents here, when I moved my mother in they took her under their wing. I would absolutely recommend.

The community has several floors and is able to handle independent living, assisted living, rehab, and memory care. The community always has stuff going on. The community is very nice and friendly. They have bus trips and depending on the activity depends on how the residents can participate in these activities. Some of the bus trips cost and others don't. They sometimes have free movie tickets. They do have different religious services available to the residents.

From the first step of the application process through admittance and residency, everyone that we have come in contact with at Pitman have been caring and gracious... Just nice people to deal with..

Compassionate staff, lively community. Toured and was very clean

The Shores staff is great! They really care about the people who live there. My mom is really happy. And the location can't be beat.
