    Beautiful community with concerning care

    I toured the community and liked the bright, well-kept grounds, nice apartments, elegant dining and lively activities - the food and social calendar are real strengths. I found many staff warm, professional and attentive, with strong nursing and hospice coordination when needed. That said, I experienced slow response times, front-desk delays and inconsistent caregiving; there are troubling reports of neglect, theft and poor discharge handling I couldn't ignore. Sales can be high-pressure and extra charges add up, and the place may not meet very high medical or advanced dementia needs. Overall it's beautiful with many positives, but I'd weigh costs, ask tough questions and consider alternatives if you expect complex care.

    About Amber Lights

    Amber Lights is a senior living community with independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing all in one place, where they offer different communities and apartment styles like one-bedroom and one-bedroom plus den, some with patios, walk-in closets, kitchens, and extra storage, and the apartments look clean and well-kept with several sizes from 560 to 803 square feet. You'll find caregivers who're around 24/7 helping with bathing, dressing, medication, and offering support as seniors settle in, and they tailor their care to what each person needs, especially in memory care where they use spaces and routines built for those with Alzheimer's or dementia. They have both indoor and outdoor spaces for relaxing and socializing, such as a cozy library with plenty of books and seats, several private dining rooms, a theater, community lounges, a salon, and a gym. There's a fitness center, swimming pool, and a large patio with mountain views-some say you can see five different mountain ranges-plus landscaped gardens and safe paths for walks, and an outdoor fireplace so folks can enjoy the air. Meals come from a restaurant-style dining room with a changing menu, a bistro for casual bites, and chefs who use fresh, local ingredients, while the Tastebud Euphoria and Discover Dining programs make food a big part of life for residents. Amber Lights gives residents chances to join fitness classes, art workshops, game nights, and go on outings, plus there's scheduled transportation and plenty of parking for residents and guests. The community is CARF-accredited, which means an outside group has reviewed the quality of care, and they have signature care programs and philosophy, including Zestful Living wellness activities and integrated health care. For those who want to stay home, Amber Lights also runs non-medical home care with trained aides for comfort and help. Amber Lights is near shopping and restaurants, and the setting feels open and welcoming, described as garden-style, spacious, and refined. They're easy to find online, including on Facebook, and tours can be set up so people can see the Amber Lights lifestyle in person.
