    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    The Saratoga Retirement Community has received mixed reviews from former employees, residents, and their families. Some highlight the community's beautiful setting, excellent care, and the variety of activities available. Positive comments mention the caring and creative staff, the cleanliness of the facility, and the quality of the healthcare center. The rehabilitation team, in particular, has been praised for their skilled and motivating approach, helping residents regain independence after significant health challenges.

    However, there are concerns regarding management and staff behavior, with one former employee citing discrimination and disrespectful treatment towards both employees and residents. Issues with the dining room management and the handling of personal belongings and final payments were also mentioned. Another review pointed out the challenges faced by residents in the tiered system, especially in skilled nursing and assisted living, including high costs, additional fees, and dissatisfaction with the level of care and responsiveness.

    Despite these criticisms, many reviews express satisfaction with the facility's atmosphere, the quality of care in the memory care unit, and the overall community feeling. The staff's thorough safety measures, the pleasant atmosphere, and the facility's cleanliness and maintenance are frequently commended. The community is described as magical and wonderful by some, with a special note on the outstanding health care center and the exceptional treatment of residents.

    In summary, while the Saratoga Retirement Community has areas that could benefit from improvement, particularly in management practices and skilled nursing care, many aspects of the community, including its rehabilitation services, staff support, and living environment, receive high praise from residents and their families.
